Determining the Heat Load of a Building
To determine what size HVAC unit is needed to properly handle the heating and air conditioning needs of a building, you need to perform heat load calculations. Some of the items that go into the equation include:
Major components of an HVAC System
The two major components of an HVAC system are the condenser and evaporator. The condenser is made up of the compressor, condenser coil and condenser fan. The compressor is often called the heart of the system because it moves the refrigerant from the evaporator to the condenser and back to the evaporator. The condenser coil […]
Cooling Towers for Water Cooled System
Cooling towers are an important part of a water cooled condenser system. The cooling tower will supply the cool water to the condenser where the water picks up the heat from the refrigerant. The water is then returned to the cooling tower where it is distributed over the wet deck surface and air is blown […]
Should I upgrade my HVAC equipment?
A standard packaged roof top unit that ranges from 5-20 tons has an average life expectancy of approximately 15-17 years. With a good HVAC service program the equipment may last several more years. As the equipment reaches the end of its’ useful life, it becomes less reliable and repair costs significantly increase. In addition to […]
I know you are ready for Summer but is your Air Conditioner?
With the days getting longer and the weather getting warmer, we will soon be transitioning from heating to cooling season. As our systems switch over from heating to cooling it is important to have the air conditioning system checked since in most cases it has not been running for approximately 6 months. Often times mice […]
