YIKES! Don't forget to check the drainpans from time to time. It’s important to check the secondary drain pans of HVAC air handlers regularly. 💦These pans catch any overflow from the main drain, and if they get water in them, mold can start to grow. #HVAC

💨Barometric relief dampers are best suited for low-pressure applications. They are typically installed in wall openings & some rooftop units. 👌They operate without motors, regulating airflo, & pressure. 👉They rely on gravity + pressure differentials to open & close. #HVAC

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN “K” VS “S” VALUE? DON’T FORGET ABOUT “R” VS “U” VALUE? A material’s K-Value is a measure of its thermal conductivity. C-Value, a material’s thermal conductance, is very similar to its K-Value, but it is NOT dependent on the thickness 🤏 #HVAC

Your routines and rituals shape your results. Small, consistent actions compound over time. 📈 If I can improve just 1% and be just a little bit better every day, it won’t be long and I’ll be going in an entirely different direction.

One of my mentors told me, “Your routines and rituals play a crucial role in determining your outcomes. Small, consistent actions build up over time and will compound.” If I focus on improving by just 1% each day, those incremental gains will lead me to a completely new path.

“Building diversity” in HVAC systems refers to the variability in heating and cooling demands across different parts of a building at different times. Not all areas will require maximum heating or cooling at the same time within a typical building. #energyefficiency #comfort

ECONOMIZERS WITH DEWPOINT LOCKOUT, SIMPLIFIED | Dewpoint lockout is a control strategy that disables economizer when outdoor dew point exceeds a limit that has already been set. “Lockout” ensures that economizers only operate when outdoor conditions are favorable for cooling📈💵

🔥REHEAT: Warms air that has been previously cooled, (AKA. “Reheating”) often to manage humidity and temperature precisely. It typically uses a reheat coil located after the cooling coil. This reheat coil can be used to adjust the air temperature as needed.

By calculating changes in enthalpy, we can figure out ways to optimize system design and efficiency. 🎯In HVAC applications, enthalpy is used to figure out the amount of heat added or removed from the air, which is crucial for calculating system capacity and efficiency. #hvac

wb temp is critical for cooling tower design. It is the lowest temp to which water can be cooled by evap. They cool water to 5°F–7°F above ambient wb temp, AKA “approach.” Ex. if the wet bulb temperature is 78°F, the tower can cool water to 83°F–85°F. +5” or +7 = temp diff

Fun exercise and positive example for the world if Donald J. Trump did Dave Ramsey’s “Debt Snowball” to clear up our nations debt crisis. Listing debts in order smallest to largest, making minimum payments on all of them except for the smallest. Putting excess funds towards debt
