Constant Volume Regulators: What are they and how they help
October 6, 2020
Many obstacles will arise when trying to keep a building 30-50°F warmer or cooler than the outside temperature. The aim of the HVAC system is to keep the buildings’ inhabitants comfortable and healthy while considering system costs. When designing and installing multi-floor supply and exhaust systems, balancing can become an issue. Fan pressures and thermal stack affects can cause differences in how much supply/exhaust air each floor experiences. When spaces experience the incorrect amount of supply/exhaust air it can affect the...
How Water Source Heat Pumps Work
August 12, 2020
Most people are familiar with a standard residential split air conditioning system. It is split because the indoor system blows the cooled or heated air and the outdoor unit makes a lot of noise when it’s operating. These two pieces of equipment are connected by piping that carries refrigerant between them. The outdoor unit contains a compressor, outdoor coil, and fan. During cooling the compressor will compress the refrigerant into a superheated gas, then force it through the outdoor coil. The fan draws the outside air through the...
