Circulating Air Systems • Heat distributed by an air stream through a heating unit to supply ducts • duct< 200’ Must make good cost projections to assure an economical selection
Heating Units - Air Split System - w/ Gas Furnace upflow downflow horizontal
Heating Units (cont.) Single Package w/ electric heating
cooling tower off boiler on Water Systems Heat is distributed by a pumped water system though a heating unit to supply piping Different piping arrangements are used – Hydronic Piping
Boilers • Water Tube – Low Fire Box • Gasses pass around tubes • Responds quickly to load fluctuations. • Types range from small (residential) to large (commercial)
Boilers (cont.) • Water Tube – High Fire Box
Piping Configurations • Series Loop • One Pipe • Two Pipe • Three Pipe • Four Pipe One pipe system
Series Loop • Maintenance or repair requires shutdown • Temp control at each unit impossible • # units limited • Only heating or cooling
One Pipe System Diverting Tee • Allows for each unit to be controlled • Limited # of units that can be serviced • Needs special fittings • Only heating or cooling
Two Pipe – Reverse Return • Each unit fed by individual supply branch • Each unit can be controlled • Flow rates are balanced (heat or cool only)
Three Pipe System • Similar to two pipe systems • Allows for simultaneous heating and cooling • Mixed return • Prohibited by some energy codes
Four Pipe System • It is actually 2- two pipe systems • Allows for simultaneous heating and cooling • Separate water return for heating and cooling • Most efficient • Most expensive – initial cost
Steam • Expands 1000 its original state • Creates its own transport system • No pumps • Piping configurations same for water – only at low pressures • Operating temps 220 – 250oF • About 15 pisg • High Pressures (60 – 350 psig) • Use heat exchanges • Need steam traps
