Commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters
Overview The commercial HPWH is one of many energy-efficient technologies which have been carried through the R&D stage and brought to market. A heat pump water heater is an effective and efficient way to provide hot water for commercial buildings. The system uses a water heating heat pump to move heat from a cool reservoir such as air and transfer this heat into water. The system employs

Reducing Lead Hazards During Construction
Overview Employers must be aware of workplace hazards facing their workers and must take appropriate action to minimize or eliminate exposure to these hazards. The interim OSHA standard aims to reduce the exposure to lead for construction workers. The most significant way to achieve this was by lowering the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of lead from 200 micrograms per cubic meter of air as

Alternatives to Active HVAC Systems
Overview
The global energy scenario has undergone a drastic change in the last two decades. Due to ever growing demand and shortage of supply, the cost of fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) is increasing day by day. Increasing consumption has led to environmental pollution resulting in global warming and ozone layer depletion. Consequently, the era of fossil fuel is gradually coming to an

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Improvements
Overview An effective commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) system requires balance - air balance that is. Fortunately, there is no "magic" to the relationship between an exhaust hood and its requirement for replacement or makeup air (MUA). The physics are simple: air that exits the building (through exhaust hoods and fans) must be replaced with outside air that enters the building

Sound Attenuators - Aerosonics Products and Applications
Overview Sound attenuators (silencers) are used in HVAC systems to help absorb noise that is generated by fans or other air moving equipment. Attenuators can also be used to prevent cross-over noise between rooms, such as conference rooms or toilet rooms. Manufacturers of attenuators such as AeroSonics offer a variety of attenuator types and models uniquely designed for a multitude of

Air Movement and Fire Protection
The fire hazards associated with heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are significant. Fire isn? t the only hazard ? the smoke generated by the fire can be much more dangerous. Protection is needed from the spread of fire and smoke due both to fires starting inside an HVAC system and fires starting outside an HVAC system. Fire performance of materials for HVAC components is

Grilles and Diffusers
Overview Selection of supply air outlets is sometimes taken for granted. Engineers, designers and contractors tend to underestimate the importance of this product in the completion of an HVAC system design. Proper selection of air devices depends on an understanding of the supply outlet classifications, installations and application considerations. In this course the student will learn some of

Filters for Industry
Overview Filtration of air is crucial to the HVAC system performance and the commercial and industrial applications that these systems serve. Filters are widely used in nuclear ventilation, air cleanup, and confinement systems to remove particulate matter from air and gas streams. Air filters are defined as porous structures through which air is passed to separate out entrained particulate

Ductsox and Fabric Air Distribution Systems
Overview Air distribution in America has been undergoing a material change over the past few years, literally. Engineers, interior designers, architects, facility owners and contractors have found that the use of fabric material ducts have provided the technical answer to air distribution problems that traditional sheet metal ducts haven't been able to achieve without significant additional

HVAC for Oil and Gas
Oil & Gas (O & G) facilities are fraught with numerous challenges related to health and safety, logistics, economics, quality assurance and overall performance. HVAC design for such facilities needs special considerations not only to minimize the potential loss to capital investment but also to isolate the personnel from life-threatening environment. The main objectives of HVAC systems in O & G

Kitchen Makeup Air
A universal concern regarding the commercial kitchen space is having an effective ventilation system. A large portion of kitchen ventilation planning is dedicated to properly exhausting cooking effluent. Appliance layout and the energy input are evaluated, hoods are located and specified, the ductwork size and routing are determined, and exhaust fans are specified to remove the proper volume of
