Heating & Air Circulation

Question 1

What are the three mechanisms of surface loss?

Answer 1

evaporation, convection, and thermal radiation

Question 2

Evaporation

Answer 2

occurs at the surface of the water and accounts for 50% of all heat losses.

Question 3

Convection

Answer 3

occurs when heat from the water’s surface is transferred to the cooler surrounding air.

Question 4

thermal radiation

Answer 4

A warm pool will radiate heat to a cooler surrounding air.

Question 5

Conduction

Answer 5

the movement of heat through the in-ground pool’s structural components.

Question 6

Which heat losses occur at the surface?

Answer 6

Evaporation, Conduction, and Radiation

Question 7

In indoor pools, the humidity should be kept in what range?

Answer 7

40 - 60%

Question 8

The air temperature in indoor pools should be kept where in relation to the pool water?

Answer 8

+2-4 degrees

Question 9

Air circulation is just as important as water circulation for indoor pools.

Answer 9

True

Question 10

In a system with a heat exchanger, the pool water is indirectly heated by:

Answer 10

Domestic hot water

Question 11

Which mechanism causes the least amount of heat loss?

Answer 11

Conduction
