Review • What is purpose of psychrometric chart? • What quantities are on axes? • Diagonal lines? • Curved lines? • What is significant about the saturation curve? • How do you find the dew point temperature? • How to find the enthalpy?
Psychrometric Processes • What does sensible heating or cooling look like on the chart? • What does sensible mean? What does latent mean? • Why does some cooling cause dehumidification? • What does an evaporative cooling process look like on the chart? • When two air streams mix, how do you find the conditions for the new air stream?
Heat Transfer • What defines a heat transfer though the wall? • What are air films and when do you include them in calculations? • What parameters do you need to know for determining the R-value of an airspace? • When do you use R-values and when do you use U-values?
Heating and Cooling Loads • What are the major components of a heating load? • What is the difference for a cooling load calculation? • How do you account for heating and cooling loads associated with windows? • With infiltration? • Why are internal gains and solar gains most relevant for cooling loads?
Heating systems • What is difference between furnace and boiler? • What are advantages of water as a heat transfer fluid? • Where do you get the input data? • Name fuels that can be used in a boiler?
Cooling Systems • Basics components • Process in T-S diagram • What happens to water vapor in an evaporator? • Does an evaporator have a sensible and a latent capacity? • Does a condenser?
Ventilation Systems • What are the components of AHU? • Which are the major ventilation systems? • Show Air-Conditioning in psychrometric chart. • When to use combination of air and water systems.
