24
Q

Excess air is the air required ______ the amount needed for stoichiometric combustion

25
__________ appliances require 50% excess air added to stoichiometric air requirements (5ft per 1000btuh)
Atmospheric
26
Name two draft control devices?
1. Draft hood 2. Barometric damper (draft regulator)
27
Name three appliance configurations with no draft control
1. Fan assist 2. Forced draft 3. Induced draft
28
Dilution air is added downstream of the heat exchanger at the draft control device. True or False?
True
29
Dilution air is not part of the combustion process. True or False?
True
30
Name three types of air duct covering/screens?
1. Grill 2. Louvre 3. Screen
31
Grills/Louvres are usually made of galvanized iron, copper, aluminum or other rust-inhibited materials. True or False?
True
32
Air grills have efficiency ratings so they must be increased to allow for proper airflow. True or False?
True
33
Rectangular and round duct can come in sizes from __in to ___in
3in to 41in
34
Type of ducting material also determines _______
sizing
35
Name the two types of make-up air heaters. They operate generally in the same way.
direct fired indirect fired
36
What are make-up air heaters designed to do?
Replace exhausted air at the desired temperature
37
Make-up air units have ___________ gas valves
modulating
38
The discharge air nozzle on a make air unit is adjustable. True or False?
True
39
Make up air units have two gas manifolds. Name them.
Main gas manifold Pilot gas manifold
40
Velocity of a makeup air air steam?
2,500 - 3,500 fpm
41
Make-up air combustion system utilizes a ______- mixing type of line burner, in which a circulating air stream supplies all all air needed
nozzle
42
At which pressure is raw gas typically fed directly into the burner ports on a direct fired make up air?
5" w.c
43
For a DFMA, the fast air stream provides means of mixing the air and gas, as determined by the shape and size of holes in the baffles. True or False?
True
44
Proper combustion is achieved over a wide firing range, up to __:_ turndown ratio
30:1 turndown ratio
45
The air flow through the heater must be straight and have sufficient velocity to maintain adequate ________ and burner capacity within the space allowed
turndown
46
Where is the blower located on a make-up air?
downstream of the burner (negative side)
47
What is the purpose of having the blower on the negative side of a makeup air?
The pull through method helps to avoid airstream stratification, where the blower mixes excess air and combustion products
48
Any of these malfunctions will cause a burner safety shutdown (manual reset) - pilot fails to ignite - loss of flame after ignition - high discharge temperature - low cabinet temperature — outdoor units only - high air velocity through the profile plate - low air velocity through the profile plate
True
49
Fan assisted BURNER overcomes the resistance of the burner only. True or False
True
50
Is a fan assisted BURNER equipped with a draft control?
Yes, fan only overcomes burner. Remaining flue rises out. Requires draft control and dilution air.
51
Fan assisted APPLIANCE has a draft through the entire appliance and is not equipped with draft control. True or False
True
52
Does a fan assisted appliance require dilution air?
No, because there is no draft control
53
Draft hood requires?
30cutft of air 15 dilution 10 combustion 5 excess
