Study Notes
Heat Exchangers
- Heat exchangers are often rated based on their working pressure.
- If a heat exchanger is designed for 7 bar g and supplied with 3 bar g steam, the true connected heat load may be different from the rated figure.
Steam Consumption
- Losses from the top of a heat exchanger are approximately double those from the bottom.
Heating Tanks
- Directly injecting steam into a tank dilutes its content.
Chillers
- Hospital chillers typically have a space cooling load.
Metabolism
- Metabolism is the process the body uses to convert energy from food into heat and work.
Clothing Insulation
- Clothing insulation is measured in clo units.
- 1 clo is equal to 0.880 F  ft 2  Hr / Btu
Mean Radiant Temperature
- Mean radiant temperature is the basic index used to describe the radiant conditions in a space. It represents the average temperature of the surfaces surrounding a person.
Centrifugal Pumps
- To prevent cavitation in a centrifugal pump, the installation NPSH must be greater than or equal to the pump NPSH.
Isentropic Expansion
- An isentropic expansion of steam always results in a decrease in enthalpy.
Hygroscopic Materials
- Hygroscopic materials are particularly variable in moisture content, meaning they can hold different amounts of moisture at different times.
Deaerators
- Pressurized deaerators remove more oxygen than atmospheric deaerators.
Coal Analysis
- Proximate analysis of coal includes the following components:
- Moisture content
- Fixed carbon
- Ash
- Volatile matter
Pumps
- A steam-driven duplex double-acting pump will pump more water per minute than a power-driven triplex single-acting pump of the same size operating at the same speed.
Cooling Towers
- Cooling towers are commonly used to cool condenser water in power and refrigeration plants.
- They reject heat to the atmosphere by reducing water temperature.
Dryers
- A dryer that utilizes gases of combustion to heat a drying chamber without direct contact with the material being dried is called a "through-circulation" dryer.
Space Heating Load
- Space heating load is the rate at which heat must be added to a conditioned space to maintain a constant temperature and relative humidity.
Space Heat Extraction Rate
- Space heat extraction rate is the rate at which heat is removed from a conditioned space by an air system.
Expansion Valve
- If an expansion valve is open too wide, it may cause a refrigerant leak.
Well Installation
- The difference between static water level (SWL) and operating water level in a deep well is called drawdown.
Impulse Turbines
- Impulse turbines use steam striking blades at a zero-angle approach.
Fuel Oil Combustion
- Fuel oil combustion produces gases, including those that cannot be found in the atmosphere.
