Ref and Filters Flashcards
What are the specific heat for ice and steam?
0.5Btu/Lb and 0.46Btu/Lb
what are the latent heat for water at freezing/melting and vapourizing/condensing?
144Btu/Lb and 970Btu/Lb
adiabatic compression
Compressing refrigerant gas without removing or adding heat.
enthalpy
The heat content of a system at constant pressure. The heat in 1lb of substance at -40F
entropy
a measure of energy transfer but not used to do work due to the random movement of molecules
Pleated filter
Filter with fibrous media filter folded to increase surface area
Captures particles from 3 to 10 microns
Viscous impingement filters
Filter coated with sticky substance
HEPA
Types of filter to filter out 99.7% of particulates above 0.3 microns
ULPA
Type of filters that filter out 99.9% of particulates above 0.01 microns
3 ways for air filter testing
Fractional test, atmospheric dust spot test, and average synthetic dust weight arrestance test
Magnehelic type gauges and manometers
Measure pressure drops across filters
MERV
Minimum efficiency reporting value
Effectiveness of air filters from 1 - 20
90 in 90
Capacity of receiver 90% at 90°F
What’s average synthetic dust weight arrestance test?
Compares the weight of dust captured by the filter and the dust fed
What’s the atmospheric dust spot efficiency test
Sees how much dust stains a white piece of paper
