35
Q

Disadvantages of radial blade fans (3)

A

Noisy
Low volume means larger size to do the job
Lower Efficiency

36
Q

Most efficient fan?

A

Air foil (backward curved) 90%

37
Q

What position does a non conventional reversing valve go to in a deenergized state

A

Fail to heat

38
Q

pressure required to move slide valve on 4 way valve

A

75-100 psi

39
Q

Define Heat Pump Balance Point

A

Lowest possible outdoor temperature at which the Heat Pump can satisfy the needs of the building.
Below balance point requires auxiliary heating

40
Q

Define unitary equipment

A

Any unit that comes completely assembled from the factory (RTU)

41
Q

Where are the metering devices typically located on a ductless split system

A

Outdoors at the unit

42
Q

What special precautions must be taken with the liquid line when installing ductless split systems

A

Must be insulated

43
Q

What is the minimum SEER rating on residential split systems

A

14

44
Q

Velocity required on AC system

A

400 cfm/ton

45
Q

Low ambient control setting

A

55F

46
Q

Unitary equipment

Ideal SST, SDT, system super heat and subcooling

A

SST = 40F
SDT = 105F
System superheat = 20-30
Sub cooling = 10F

47
Q

Face velocity

A

400-500 ft/min

48
Q

What does PTAC stand for, give 1 example

A

Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner

Heat pumps

49
Q

Give 3 forms of CAPACITY control

A

Condensor fan cycling
Hot gas bypass
Compressor unloading

50
Q

Give 3 forms of HEAD PRESSURE control

A

Condensor fan cycling
Condensor flooding
Damper control

51
Q

52
Q

Velocity required for heat

A

450 ft/min

53
Q

Average delta T for cooling

A

20F

54
Q

What is the difference between a direct and indirect cooling system

A

Direct system cools the medium (air) directly (residential ac)
Indirect cools water and water cools the medium (chilled water system)

55
Q

What is EER and how is it calculated

A

Energy Efficiency Ratio

Output energy (BTU/hr)
—————
Input electrical energy (watt/ hr)

56
Q

What is ASHRAE ideal temp for comfort and efficiency

A

75F

57
Q

What parts make up a headmaster and what is it used for

A

ORI (open on rise of inlet) and ORD (open on rise of differential)
Used to maintain head pressure during low ambient conditions

58
Q

What is a timed low pressure bypass timer, why is it used

A

Timed contacts that bypass the low pressure control for 3-5 min to allow head pressure to to rise to normal conditions without tripping during low ambient conditions

59
Q

Economizer mixed air temperature setting

A

55F

60
Q

2 types of dampers

Which is better for mixing

A

Parallel and opposed blade

Opposed give better mixing but promote stratification (layers of different temperature air)

61
Q

Why are VFDs often used with VAV boxes

A

When dampers close at VAV boxes, static pressure increases. VFDs reduce fan speed to keep static pressures low

62
Q

Biggest advantage of RTU

A

Reduced cost of rental space

63
Q

What is the pressure setting for a DPRV (discharge pressure regulating valve)

A

Pressure equivalent to 34F

eg. R-22 @ 34F = 60 psi

64
Q

Heat pump defrost coil engages at what temp?

A

40-42F (to maintain a safety TD of 10)

65
Q

What are the symptoms of faulty compressor valves

A

Higher than normal suction pressure, lower than normal discharge pressure, lower amp draw

66
Q

Typical AC supply temp

A

50-60F

67
Q

AHRI test condition temperatures for Return air and Ambient

A

80F return air

95F ambient

68
Q

What type of fan is used on a window AC

A

Slingular

69
Q

What fan is used for high velocity with low static pressure

A

Propeller

70
Q

Define radiation

A

Transfer of energy in the form of waves through space

71
Q

Calgary summer and winter design temp

A

84F summer

-24F winter

72
Q

Define thermal mass

A

Ability of an object to store heat

73
Q

Define Thermal Lag

A

The time it takes for heat to pass through an object

74
Q

Define flywheel effect

A

A building constructed with materials with a high thermal mass to provide inertia or resistance to temperature fluctuations

75
Q

Describe thermal mass used for heating

A

Concrete exposed to sun to help heat in winter

76
Q

Describe thermal mass used for limited summer time over heating

A

Mass shielded from solar gain but exposed to occupants. Heat is absorbed throughout the day and then released overnight to assist HVAC system

77
Q

What is the air velocity of the draft produced when walking past someone

A

25 ft/min
