^ - --
'-
rr^HE twenty-fourth edition of The Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning
$ J[ Guide contains an enlarged technical data section and a new grouping of subjects
3 to provide a more logical progression from fundamental principles to special application.
The Guide serves a dual function as both textbook and handbook. As text, it repre
sents a condensation'of the pertinent experimental data in this field. The desire for
accuracy precludes the use of many of the approximate but convenient tables of the
ordinary handbook.
-
Terminology, Chapter one, covering engineering terms used in heating, ventilating,
and air conditioning, has been revised to obtain better conformance with the terms of
basic science rather than the less accurate forms which are frequently adopted by engi
neers in a specific field. Progress in standardization of letter symbols has been con
tinued; leading to uniformity of symbols used throughout the text as far.as possible.
Separate lists of symbols have been placed at the end of those chapters in which large
numbers of symbols are used.
.
.
The most accurate information obtainable on properties of moist air and of water
in the range --160 to +212 F has been obtained from the cooperative research work of the A.S.H.V.E. and the Towne Scientific School of the University of Pennsylvania and is incorporated in Chapter 3, Thermodynamics. The new Mollier Diagram for Moist Air, prepared by John A. Goff, corresponds With the revised tables of Properties of Moist Air arid of Water in Chapter 3, and, in its larger size, is improved in readability.
Chapter 4, Fluid Flow, is a new and very useful addition to the text as it presents the basic theory of fluid flow through pipes, nozzles, and orifices and gives recommendations for location of pressure taps for orifice and venturi meter applications.. The explanation of the method of using the data in Chapter 6, Heat Transmission Coefficients of Building Materials, has been simplified and certain suggestions regarding the use of the tabulated
data have been added.
Chapter 10, Air Contaminants, contains most of the material previously given in the former chapter, on Air Pollution as well as the latest acceptable limits for toxic gases and dusts in.working spaces. The rewritten chapter gives the viewpoint of the industrial hygiene engineer. Much useful information regarding the use of testing equipment is . given in Chapter 11, Instruments and Measurements.
In Chapter 12, Physiological Principles and Chapter 13, Air Conditioning in the
Prevention and Treatment of Disease it has been possible to add interesting information obtained from tests conducted in cooperation with the military services during the war.
Chapter 15, Cooling Load, has been improved by the addition of new data on solar
heat transmission through glass obtained from a recent study made at the A.S.H.V.E.
Research Laboratory. Revision has been made in the method of computing the cooling
load in order to reflect present knowledge of the subject.
.
A new section on furnaces has been included in Chapter 18, Heating Boilers and Fur naces. This chapter now includes information on the characteristics, performance, and . latest rating methods for these appliaftces. Chapter 21, Gravity Warm Air Systems, and Chapter 22, Mechanical Warm Air Systems show the progress made during the past year in the methods of designing and installing warm air systems.
To the pipe capacity tables in Chapter 23, Steam Heating Systems and Piping, have ' been added the capacities expressed in pounds of steam so that these capacities are now
available in both EDR and pounds. Similarly.a chart has been added to Chapter 24, Hot Water Heating Systems and Piping) showing pipe capacities in pounds of water per
. hour corresponding to various friction losses. This chart is supplied in addition to the familiar chart showing the capacities based on 20 deg temperature drop. Methods (with illustrative examples) of computing heat loss through pipe covering consisting of layers of different kinds of insulation have been added to Chapter 28, Pipe Insulation.
Chapter 38, Dehumidification by Sorbent Materials, has been amplified to include
the latest accepted practice in use of sorbents. Chapter 39, Refrigeration, has been enlarged to permit-a simple presentation of the different refrigeration cycles in addition
to a brief treatment of the most commonly used refrigeration equipment arrangements.
New material from Society sponsored research on air flow in outlets has been added
) to Chapter 40, Air Distribution, to provide additional useful design information. As a
' .result of studies of the best available data on air flow, made at the A.S.H.V.E. Research
Laboratory, a new air friction chart has been prepared and this chart is now included in
Chapter 41, Air Duct Design.
.
. - The economics of air conditioning are given in a new Chapter 44, Owning and Operat
ing Costs, which shows the method of determining the actual cost of air conditioning to the owner.
.v
rrvr*.
In Chapter.5I, Codes'and Standards,''the list, of various codes'affecting installation
of air conditioning and heating'equipment has been .brought'up-to-date through inform
ation obtained from the various state departments concerned. The chapter also contains
a list of more than 75 codes and. standards, relating to performance, rating, testing,
. selecting and installing equipment used in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
work, adopted by various societies and organizations.
.
All chapters not specifically mentioned in the foregoing have been carefully reviewed
so that they conform to current engineering practice.
..
A complete cross-index of the technical section provides ready reference to any
. desired information in the text. .

British Thermal Unit: Classically the Btu is defined as the quantity of heat
required to raise the temperature of 1 lb of water 1 Fahrenheit degree. By this definition

Enthalpy* Free: A thermodynamic property which serves as a measure of the
available energy of a system with respect to surroundings at the same temperature and
same pressure as that of the system. No process involving an increase in available
energy can occur spontaneously.
.
Enthalpy* Specific: A term sometimes applied to enthalpy per unit weight, the English unit being Btu per pound.
Entropy: Entropy is the ratio of the heat added to a substance to the absolute * temperature at which it is added. The entropy associated with an isolated physical
system has the characteristic property that, as the system spontaneously settles into a final, steady state, the entropy approaches a maximum. It may be regarded as a measure of the degree in which the energy of the system is unavailable.
If a system absorbs an infinitesimal amount of heat dQ during a reversible'process, the entropy change of the system is equal to
dS = --
where T is the absolute temperature of the system.
Two of the functions of entropy may be mentioned to clarify this somewhat abstruse
property: (1) During a reversible adiabatic change of state, entropy is constant; (2)
during a reversible isothermal change of state, the heat absorbed is equal to the absolute
temperature times the change in entropy.
"
The term Specific Entropy is sorrfetimes applied to entropy per unit weight, the English-unit being Btu per (Fahrenheit degree) (pound).

Fumes: Smoke; aromatic smoke; odor emitted, as of flowers; a smoky or vaporous
' exhalation, usually odorous, as that from concentrated nitric acid. The word fumes is

definitive characteristic is that it implies an odor. The terms vapor, smoke, fog, etc.,
which can be more strictly defined, should be used whenever possible.

manifestly ineffective (t.e., no gas flow taking place through it), as in the case of waste-,
heat boilers with auxiliary coal furnaces,, where one part of the furnace is. out of action
when the other is being used. For Scotch or other internally fired boilers it is the cubical

Grate Area: The area of the grate surface, measured in square feet, to be used in estimating the rate of burning fuel. This area is construed to mean the area measured
in the plane of the top surface of the grate, except that with special furnaces, such as ,,
those having magazine feed, or special shapes, the grate area shall be the mean area of . the active part of the fuel bed taken perpendicular to the path of the gases through it.
For furnaces having a secondary grate, such as those in double-grate down draft boilers,' the effective area shall be taken as the area of the upper grate plus one-eighth of the area of the lower grate, both areas being estimated as previously defined. .

filled with a liquid, usually water, mercury, or a light oil, so constructed that the amount. . of displacement of the liquid indicates the pressure being exerted on the instrument.. -
Mass: A measure of the inertia of a body. It also measures the quantity of matter in a body. Since the only general property of a given portion of matter that cannot be changed is its inertia, it is this property by which quantities of matter are defined. Two bodies which have equal inertias are said to have equal masses or to contain equal quantities of matter. (This definition fails at velocities approaching the velocity of light.) The mass of a body is numerically equal to the ratio of the force required to give
the body a given acceleration to the acceleration, m =---- . The common units of

At 32 F and zero-pressure the value of the product, pressure times specific volume, is 359.045 0.006 atmosphere cubic feet (atm ft*), for 1 mol of any gas. For dry air at 32 F and standard atmospheric pressure, the specific volume is.358.83 cu ft per mol.(ft* per mol).
One-Pipe Supply Riser--(Steam): A pipe which carries steam vertically to a heat ing unit and which also carries the condensation from the heating unit. In an upfeed

One-Pipe System--(Steam): A steam heating system in which a single main serves the dual purpose of supplying steam to the heating unit and conveying condensation from it. Ordinarily to each heating unit there is but one connection which must serve as both the supply and the return, although separate supply and return connections may be used.

heating medium on one side and air (or extended surface) on the other. (See also Boiler
Heating Surface.)
. *.
Temperature: The thermal state of matter with reference to its tendency to com- municate heat to matter in contact with it. If no heat flows upon contact, there is?no difference in temperature.
Temperature, Absolute: Temperature expressed in degrees above absolute zero.
Temperature, Dry-Bulb: The temperature of a gas or mixture of gases indicated
> by an accurate thermometer after correction for radiation.
.
Temperature, Dew-Point: The temperature at which the condensation of water vapor in a space begins for a given state of humidity and pressure as the temperature of the vapor is reduced. The temperature corresponding to saturation (100 per centrelative humidity) for a given absolute humidity at constant pressure.
Temperature, Effective: An arbitrary index which combines into a single value the effect of temperature, humidity, and air movement on the sensation of warmth or cold felt by the human body. The numerical value is that of the temperature of still, saturated air which would induce an identical sensation.

' '.
Thermodynamics, Laws of: Two laws upon, which rest the classical theory of
thermodynamics. These laws have been stated in many different,, but equivalent ways.
The First Law: (1) When work is expended in generating.heat, the quantity of heat
nroduced is proportional to the work expended and, conversely; when heat is employed
in the performance of work, the quantity of heat which disappears is proportional to
the work done. (Joule)b (G.P.); (2) If a system is caused to change from an initial state
to a final state by adiabatic means only, the work done is the same for all adiabatic paths
connecting the two states. (Zemansky); (3) In any power cycle or refrigeration-cycle
the net heat absorbed bv the working substance is exactly equal to the net work done.
The Second Law: (1) It is impossible for a self acting machine, unaided by anv external
atrency to convey heat from a body of lower to one of higher temperature. (Clausius)
(G P V (2) It is impossible to derive mechanical work from heat taken from a body
unless there is available a body of lower temperature into which the residue not so used-
mav be discharged (Kelvin) (G.P.); (3) It is impossible to construct an engine that,
operating in a cycle, wilf produce no effect other than the extraction of heat from a
reservoir and the performance of an equivalent amount of work (Zemansky).
Thermostat: An instrument which responds to changes in temperature and which
directly or indirectly controls temperature.
Transmittance, Thermal: The time rate of heat flow, from the fluid on the warm side to the fluid on the cold side, per (square foot) (degree temperature difference be tween the two fluids). Sometimes called Over-all Coefficient of Heat Transfer.
Common unit is Btu per (hour) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree). Symbol U.
Two-Pipe System {Steam or Water):. A heating system in which one pipe is used for
the supply of the heating medium to the heating unit and another for the return of the heating medium to the source of heat supply. The essential feature of a two-pipe system is that each heating unit receives a direct supply of the heating medium which
medium cannot have.served a preceding heating unit.
Unit: As applied to heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment this word means factory-built and assembled equipment with apparatus for accomplishing some specified function or combination of functions. (See Chapters 26 and 36.)
It is loosely applied to a great variety of equipment. Usually the function is included in the name, and hence come terms like Unit Heater, Unit Ventilator, Humidifying
Unit; and Air Conditioning Unit. '
Units are said to be direct or room, when intended for location, or located.in, the
treated space; indirect or remote, when outside or adjacent to the treated space. They
are ceiling units when suspended from above, and floor when supported from below.
Other descriptive words includefree delivery when the unit is not intended to be attached
to ducts or similar resistance-producing devices, and pressure when for use with such
ducts. Complete description requires the use of several of these qualifying words or
phases. (See Chapters 26 and 36.)
` ' ,
Up-Feed System: A heating system in which the supply mains are below the level
of the heating units which they serve.
.
Vacuum Heating System: A two-pipe,steam heating system equipped with the
necessary accessory apparatus which will permit operating the system below atmospheric
pressure when desired.
`
.
Vane Ratio: In air distributing devices the ratio of depth of vane to shortest opening
width between two adjacent grille barsT
`
Vapor: The gaseous form of substances which are normally in the solid or liquid
state and which can be changed to these states either by increasing the pressure or
decreasing the temperature. Vapors diffuse. (i4.5.A. definition.)
-
Vapor Heating System: A steam'heating system which operates under pressures at
or near atmospheric and which returns the condensation to the boiler or receiver by
gravity. Vapor systems have thermostatic traps or other means of resistance on the
return ends of the heating units for preventing steamfrom entering the return mains;
they also have a pressure-equalizing and air-eliminating device at the end of the dry
return.
Velocity: A vector quantity which denotes at once the time rate and the direction
of a linear motion. V = at-. Fo- r uniform linear motion V = --t~ . Common units
are: feet per second.

Degree of Saturation; Mollier Diagram; Derived Properties; Typical
Air Conditioning Processes, Heating, Cooling, Adiabatic Mixing;
Wet-Bulb Temperatures Below 32 F; Dalton's Rule; Steady Flow Energy Equation, U. S. Standard Atmosphere
THE working substance of the air conditioning engineer is called moist air. In order to be able to apply the laws of conservation of energy and mass to the analysis of typical air conditioning processes, it
is necessary to know the thermodynamic properties of moist air, particu
larly its enthalpy and volume. When the limitations imposed by the
Second Law of Thermodynamics have to be considered, it is also necessary
to know its entropy.
-
,
For the purpose of analysis, moist air may be regarded as a mixture
of only two constituents, namely, dry air and water vapor. It has long
been customary to predict the thermodynamic properties of the mixture
from a knowledge of those of dry air and water vapor separately by means
of Dalton's Rule. According to this rule: each constituent of a gas
-mixture occupies the whole volume of the mixture just as if no other
constituent were present; it therefore exerts a partial pressure equal to
the pressure it would exert if alone in the whole volume at the temperature
of the mixture; the observed pressure of the mixture is the sum of these
so-called partial.pressures; the enthalpy of the mixture is the sum of
separate contributions from the individual constituents as determined by
their partial pressures, their weights, and the temperature of the mixture;
and the entropy of the mixture is obtained in a similar manner.
.
Dalton's Rule has long been regarded erroneously as a fundamental
law of nature. Actually it is not, and in many cases its predictions are
quite unreliable. In the case of moist air at atmospheric pressure, it
happens to give a close approximation to the truth; but as progress is
made the need for greater accuracy than the rule can afford is felt even
.. in this case. Fortunately most of the complications involved in following '
a correct procedure based on the predictions of statistical mechanics are
met in preparing suitable tables of thermodynamic properties; and, once
these tables have been prepared, their use in the analysis of typical air
conditioning processes is actually simplified by abandonment of the rule .
together with its fictitious concepts of partial pressure, relative humidity,
etc. ,
.'
Thermodynamic Properties oi Moist Air
.
Table I, Thermodynamic Properties of Moist Air' (Standard Atmospherie Pressure, 29.921 In. Hg), contains results of a cooperative investi gation between the American Society of Heating and Ventilating . Engineers and the.Towne Scientific School, University of Pennsylvania. These results are to be considered by an International Joint Committee on Psychrometric Data as a possible starting point'from which to reach agreement on standard properties of moist air, A detailed explanation of the data and methods used in constructing Table 1 is given in a paper 1 recently presented before the ASHVE upon the; recommendation-of its
. 24
Thvrniodvnamics
. 25
Technical Advisory Committee on Psychrometry as a final report of the.
cooperative investigation.
.
In Table 1 there are 15 columns of figures, each column being headed by a suitable symbol. In the following sub-paragraphs are given brief explanations of the data in Table 1 under the appropriate column headings.
i(F) = Fahrenheit temperature defined in terms of absolute temperature T by the
relation,
T = t + 459.69
(1)
This particular Fahrenheit scale differs slightly from that derived from the Inter
national Centigrade Scale 1(C) by the definition,
-
((F) = 1.81(C) 4- 32
' ' (2)
However, the maximum difference between the two Fahrenheit scales appears not to exceed 0.01 Fahrenheit deg in the range 32 to 212 F.
Ws - humidity ratio at saturation. By humidity ratio is meant the ratio, by weight, of water vapor to dry air, pounds of water vapor per pound of dry air. By saturation is meant the point where coexistence of the vapor phase (moist air) with a condensed phase (liquid or solid) is possible at the given temperature and pressure (standard atmos-. pherie pressure in the case of Table 1). At given values of temperature and pressure
the humidity ratio W can have any value from zero to Ws.
t>a = specific volume of dry air, cubic feet per pound.
,,as = vs tia, the difference between the volume of moist air at saturation, per pound of dry air, and the specific volume of the dry air itself, cubic feet per pound of dry air.
Vs = volume of moist air at saturation per pound of dry air, cubic feet per pound of dry air.
/,a = specific enthalpy of dry air, Btu per pound. It will be noticed that the specific
enthalpy of dry air has been assigned the value zero at 0 F, standard atmospheric pres
sure. The energy unit Btu is related to the foot-pound, though not exactly by definition,
as follows: 1 Btu = 778.18 ft-lb.
'
".
has = hs -- Aa, the difference between the enthalpy of moist air at saturation, per pound of dry air, and the specific enthalpy of the dry air itself, Btu per pound of dry air.
As = enthalpy of moist air at saturation per pound of dry air, Btu per pound of dry air.
Ja = specific entropy of dry air, Btu per (pound) (F). It will be noticed that the
specific entropy of dry air has been assigned the value zero at 0 F and standard atmos
pheric pressure.
. '
jas = Js -- 5a, the difference between the entropy of moist air at saturation, per pound of dry air, and the specific entropy of the dry air itself, Btu per (pound of dry air) (F).
5s = entropy of moist air at saturation per pound of dry air, Btu per (pound of dry air) (F). ' ' '
Aw = specific enthalpy of condensed water (liquid or solid) at standard atmospheric pressure, Btu per pound of water. The specific enthalpy of liquid water has been as signed the value zero at 32 F, saturation pressure. It will be noticed that, under this assignment, the specific enthalpy of liquid water at 32 F,`standard atmospheric pressure,
assumes the value 0.04 Btu/lbw
5W = specific entropy of condensed water (liquid or solid) at standard atmospheric
pressure. Btu per (pound'of water) (F). The specific entropy of liquid water has been
, assigned the value zero at 32 F, saturation pressure. It will be noticed that, under this
assignment, the specific entropy of liquid water at 32 F, standard atmospheric pressure,
is also zero, though not exactly.
`.
ps - saturation pressure of pure water vapor, pounds per square inch or inches of Hg. Moist air can be saturated at any given values of temperature and pressure, though this requires that it have a definite humidity ratio Ws and that the coexisting condensed phase contain a definite, but very small quantity- of dissolved air. On the other hand, pure water vapor (steam) cannot be saturated at any given values of temperature and pressure because its composition is invariable. It can, however, be saturated at any

given temperature (below the critical temperature), though this requires that it have a
definite pressure ps and that the coexisting condensed phase have the same temperature
and pressure. The yalues of saturation pressure listed in Table 1 have been computed
from the formulae of Goff and Gratch *.

Thermodynamic Properties of Water at Saturation
Table 2 offers revisions to existing steam table data 3 with extension
downward to --160 F. These revisions and extension were a necessary
preliminary to the construction of Table 1. A detailed explanation of the
methods employed in constructing Table-2 is given in a paper * by John A.
Goff and S. Gratch. As in Table 1 the temperature scale used as argument
in Table 2 is the Fahrenheit scale defined in terms of absolute temperature
T by Equation 1 whereas the Fahrenheit scale used as argument in exist
ing steam tables is that derived from the International Centigrade scale
by means of Equation 2. The symbols used as column headings in Table 2
. are the same as those used in the steam tables and have the same mean
ings; therefore, a detailed explanation seems unnecessary.
.
: DEGREE OF SATURATION
At given values of temperature and pressure the humidity ratio W of moist air can have any value between zero (dry air) and We (moist air at saturation). For convenience a parameter p. called alternatively degree of saturation or percent saturation is introduced through the definition,
..
W = (ills
. (3)
Obviously the degree of saturation p. can "have any value from zero (dry
air) to unity (moist air at saturation).
To a degree of approximation within the estimated uncertainty of the data in Table 1 at temperatures below about 150 F, the volume v of moist air per pound of dry air at any degree of saturation p. may be computed from the simple relation,
, V = a + iVis
(4)
To obtain comparable accuracy at temperatures above about 150 F it is
necessary to add a correction term v as follows,
.
n(l - p)A 1 F aWe n
(4a)
where a denotes the ratio of the apparent molecular weight of dry air
(28.966) to the molecular weight of water (18.016), namely, 1.6078. In
Table 3 are given, for each of several higher temperatures, the correspond
ing value of the coefficient A, the value of |i at which the correction term
v attains its maximum value, and the maximum value of the correction
term there attained.
.
At temperatures below about 150 F. the enthalpy h of moist air per
pound of dry air at any degree of saturation p. may be computed from
the simple relation,
,
.
- - : / h = fia "h pfias.

It is a fundamental proposition of thermodynamics that when a fluid
flows across a section fixed in space it connects with it an amount of energy
equal to its enthalpy as determined by the pressure, temperature, and com
position of thefluid at that section. This fundamental proposition provides
the correct procedure for applying the law of conservation of energy' to
the processes occurring most frequently, in air conditioning practiced
Thus if moist air is flowing through a duct it carries across any section of
the duct energy of amount mh Btu per minute and water of amount mW
: pounds per minute, if m denotes the weight of dry air crossing the section
per minute.
.
.
The above considerations suggest the importance of having accurate
knowledge regarding the enthalpy of the fluid in question arid the desir
ability of using enthalpy as one of the coordinates in graphical repre
sentation. The use of enthalpy h and humidity ratio W as coordinates
in the case of moist air is due to Mollier4. A convenient modification
of the Mollier diagram introduced by Goff is obtained by taking humidity
ratio W as ordinate and reduced enthalpy (h-lOOOW) as abscissa. . A
Mollier Diagram modified in this way is enclosed in the envelope attached,
to- the inside back cover and an abridgement of the Diagram is shown
in Fig. 1.
.
The Mollier Diagram is a constant-pressure chart, the one provided with this book being drawn for standard atmospheric pressure from the data in Table 1. Along the axis of abscissae (W 0, p. = 0) are plotted

values of the specific enthalpy of dry air ha at qpe-degree intervals of tem
perature. Values of humidity ratio at saturation Ws plotted against
values of reduced enthalpy at saturation (feTOOOfTs) determine the satu
ration curve (p. = 100 per cent). Lines of constant temperature connect
points on the saturation curve with corresponding points on the dry-air
axis and are inclined upward to the right. They are drawn straight in ac
cordance with Equations 3 and.5 because the curvature contributed by the
-correction term 5a is inappreciable at all temperatures within the range
of the chart. The portion of each isotherm lying between the dry-air
axis and the saturation curve is divided into 10 equal parts by curves of
- constant per cent saturation. The per cent saturation of any point below
the saturation curve is readily determined by linear interpolation along .
the isotherm through that point..
'
' Each isotherm breaks at the saturation curve to incline upward to the
left into the two-phase region above the saturation curve. The ordinate- .
of a point in this region is the total weight of water in both the vapor
phase (moist air) and the condensed, phase (liquid or solid) per.pound
of dry air in both phases. Neglecting the very small amount of dissolved
air in the condensed phase, it is the weight of water in both phases per
pound of dry air in the vapor phase. The ordinate at the break in .the
. isotherm through the point in question is the weight of water per pound
of dry air in the vapor phase. Consequently, the difference between the ,
two ordinates is the weight of condensed phase per pound of dry air in :
the vapor phase.
.
It has been stated that the region above the saturation curve is the
two-phase region. This is so except in the wedge with apex on the satu
ration curve at 32 F where three distinct phases, namely, solid, liquid, and
vapor coexist. In fact, this. wedge separates the liquid-vapor region
above the wedge from the solid-vapor region below it. A point inside
the wedge divides the horizontal line extending through it from one,
boundary to the other into two segments which are in the same ratio
as are the weights of solid and liquid. The temperature is 32 F throughout
the wedge.

On the Mollier Diagram provided with The 1946 Guide there has been
drawn a protractor from which can be determined the direction in which
the state point of a mixture of water and dry air will be moved by simul
taneous addition of energy and water without addition of dry air. A par
ticular direction is specified by the numerical value of the ratio of energy
to water added which ratio is designated as q and called the specific
enthalpy of water added, Btu per pound. The protractor is especially
useful in locating the condition line of a cooling load or heating load
problem.

DERIVED PROPERTIES
Thermodynamic Wet-bulb.Temperature. For any state of moist air there
exists a temperature t* at which liquid (or solid) water may be evaporated into the air to bring it to saturation at exactly this same temperature. The humidity ratio of the air is increased from a given initial value W to the value WB* corresponding to saturation at the temperature t*; the enthalpy of the air is increased from a given initial value h to the value hs* corresponding to saturation at the temperature t*; the weight of water added per pound of dry air is Ws* -- IT and this adds energy of amount (Wa* -- W) h?,*, where hw* denotes the specific enthalpy of the . water as added at the temperature t*; therefore, if the process is strictly adiabatic,
h + (Ts*W)h,,* = As*
' . (7)
The solution of Equation 7 for given values of Ti"and. W is called thermo-
dynamic wet-bulb temperature.
.-
.
Example 1. Find the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature of moist air at 80 F,
50 per cent saturation, atmospheric pressure.
. .-
.
'
Solution. The answer is obtained directly from the Mollier Diagram. From the data of Table 1, the enthalpy of the air is h = 19.221 + 0.50 X 24.47 = 31.46 Btu/lba (Equation 5). To a first approximation this is the.enthalpy at saturation at the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature which is therefore approximately 67 F.'
.
At 67 F the humidity ratio at saturation is O.01424 lbw/lba and the specific enthalpy
of liquid water is 35.11 Btu/lbw. The humidity ratio of the air is PF = 0.50 X 0.02233 =
0.01117 lbw/lba (Equation 3). Therefore, to a second'approximation, the enthalpy at
saturation at the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature is hs* = 31.46 + (0.01424 --
0.01.117) X 35.11 = 31.57 Btu/lba, Equation 7. Interpolation in Table 1 gives as final''

' The psychrometer is an instrument consisting of two thermometers one of which has the bulb covered with a suitable wick that; has been dipped in liquid-water and thoroughly wetted by it. On placing the wet-bulb of the instrument in an air stream, the liquid begins to evaporate from the wick and it is usually assumed that such evaporation brings the air immediately adjacent to the wick to saturation. At first this air may ' . reach saturation at a higher or lower temperature than that of the liquid . on the wick; but in a relatively short time the temperature of the liquid * . will have changed to approach equality with that of the air touching; the wick, even if this requires the iiquid- to freeze on the wick. Then .the liquid (or solid) will continue for a time to evaporate .into the air stream .. at such temperature as will bring a portion of the air stream to saturation

at this same temperature.. 'This equilibrium temperature is called wet-
bulb temperature.
'
It is clear that the readings of an actual wet-bulb thermometer cannot
be regarded as values of a thermodynamic property of moist air; for these
readings are importantly affected by a number of non-thermodynamic
factors including design, construction, installation, and technique of
using the instrument. Thus, unless the wet-bulb is effectively shielded
against radiation from relatively warm surfaces the process will not be
strictly adiabatic as tacitly assumed in writing Equation 7. - Also, partial .
drying of the wick will prevent the air immediately adjacent to it from
reaching complete saturation as assumed in Equation 7. A working
theory developed by Arnold 6.enables the calculation of corrections to be
applied to the readings of the actual instrument in order to make them
agree with the values of temperature calculated from Equation 7. For
tunately, and indeed fortuitously, these corrections can be made small,
but to emphasize the necessity of making them in accurate experimen-
. tation, the temperature defined by Equation 7 is called thermodynamic
wet-bulb temperature.
'
Example 2. Find the degree of saturation of moist air at 90 F dry-bulb, 63 F thermo
dynamic wet-bulb, atmospheric pressure.
' .
-
.
' Solution. The answer is read directly from the Mollier Diagram. Inserting numerical
data from Table 1 into Equation 7 gives
(21.625 + 34.31 p) + (0.01235 - 0.03118p) X .31.12 = 28.57
The solution of this equation is direct and the final answer is
' ' ,
. p = 19.67 per cent
,'
Example 3. Find the temperature to which moist air initially saturated at 40 F and
at standard atmospheric pressure must be heated in order to have a thermodynamic
wet-bulb temperature of 60 F.
'
. . Solution. On the Mollier Diagram follow a horizontal line from the saturation curve at
40 F to its intersection with the 60 F thermodynamic wet-bulb line and read the corre:
sponding temperature directly.

: fta + O.0b5213*as/1F8 = 26.46 - (0.01108 - 0.005213) . X .28.12 = 26.295 .

' Dew-Point Temperature. Corresponding to any given state of. moist air there exists another state on the saturation curve having the same humidity ratio W and same pressure p as the given state. , The tempera ture at. this other state on the saturation curve is called the dew-point , ;temperature of the given state. Obviously, if moist air is cooled at con stant pressure and constant humidity ratio it will reach saturation when its temperature.falls to.a value equal to its dew-point temperature. . This 'will usually be marked by the first appearance of a coexisting condensed phase. In one type of dew-point apparatus a continuous sample .of air is passed over a mirror which can be cooled by external refrigeration and ;whose temperature can be.accurately measured. The measured ,ternperature at which the intensity of light reflected from the mirror is ab ruptly diminished by condensation is taken to be the dew-point tempera ture' of the air sample/ Examples 4 and.5 illustrate the relation between' ' the dew-point, degree of saturation and dry-bulb temperature.

Solution. On the -Mollier Diagram follow a horizontal line from a given state point . * (80 F, 50 per cent) to the saturation curve and read the temperature at the intersection.
From the data in Table 1, the humidity ratio of the air is W = 0.50 X 0.02233 --
0.01117 lbw/lba- By interpolation this is found to be the humidity ratio at saturation
at 60.22 F which is therefore the required answer. `
'.
Example 5. Find the degree of saturation of moist air at 90 F dry-bulb, 40 F (dew
point), atmospheric pressure.
'
Solution. On the Mollier Diagram follow a horizontal line from 40 F on the saturation
curve to. the 90 F isotherm (dry-bulb) and read the degree of saturation directly.
From the data in Table 1, the humidity ratio of the air must be W = 0.005213. But the humidity ratio at saturation at 90 F is 0.03118; hence the degree of saturation is
p = 0.005213/0.03118 = 16.72 per cent .
TYPICAL AIR CONDITIONING PROCESSES
The use of Table 1 and the Mollier Diagram in analyzing typical air
conditioning processes is best explained by means of illustrative ex
amples. In-each of the following, it is to be understood that the process
in question takes place at a constant pressure of 29.921 in. Hg, of standard
atmospheric pressure.
-
'
Heating ' , '
.
The process of adding heat to moist air is represented by a horizontal
line on the Mollier Diagram. The length of the line between the initial
and finalstate points is the increase of reduced enthalpy; but, since the
humidity ratio is constant, it is also the increase of enthalpy itself,and
therefore'the quantity of heat added per pound of dry air.
.
Example 6. Air initially at 20 F, 80 per ce'nt saturation is heated to 120 F. Find the quantity of heat required to process 20,000 dm of heated air.
Solution. From the data in Table 1: the initial humidity ratio is 0.80 X 0.002152 =
0.001722 lbw/lba; the initial enthalpy is 4.804 + 0.80 X 2.302 = 6.646 Btu/lba; the
final degree of saturation is 0.001722/0.08149 = 2.113 per cent; the final enthalpy is
28.841 + 0.02113 X 90.70 = 30.757 Btu/lba.
-. '
- ^ may be supposed that the air is heated between two sections of a duct. The quantities of energy convected across the two sections per pound of dry air crossing them are the two enthalpies calculated. Conservation of energy requires that the differ-, ence between-these two enthalpies be the quantity of heat added; thus,- '
` aQb = 30.757 - 6.646 = 24,111 Btu/lba.
The final volume is 14.611 + 0.02113 X 1.905 = 14.651 cu ft/lba. Since 20,000 cfm-
of heated air is to be processed,+he total quantity of heat required is
'
''
, ` aQb ~ 24.111 X 20,000/14.651 = 32,914 Btu per minute. ,
On the Mollier Diagram the process is represented by the horizontal' line AB, Fig. 2,.
whose length is the quantity of heat added per pound of dry air. The reduced enthalpy
at A,is 4.92 while that at B is 29.03, both being read directly from the chart. Since
humidity ratio is constant the difference between these reduced enthalpies is also the
difference between the enthalpies themselves, namely, 24.11 Btu/lba.

the initial and final states is the quantity of heat removed, or refrigeration
supplied, per pound of dry air. By following the final isotherm downward
to the right to the saturation curve and reading the ordinate there, the
weight of water vapor per pound of dry air in the vapor phase is deter-.
mined. The difference between the initial humidity ratio and this ordi-
. nate is the weight of condensed phase per pound of dry air in the final
state.

refrigeration required to process 20,000 cfm of uncooled air.
.
Solution. From the data iii Table 1: the initial humidity ratio is 0.50 X 0.03673 =
0.01837 lbw/lba; the initial enthalpy is 22.827 + 0.50 X 40.49 .= 43.072 Btu/lba; the
humidity ratio at saturation at the final temperature is 0.01582 lbw/lba; the quantity
of liquid formed is 0.01837 -- 0.01582 = 0.00255 lbw/lba; the enthalpy of the final
two-phase mixture is 34.09 -f- 0.00255 X 38.11 = 34.187 Btu/lba-

The initial volume is 13.980 -4- 0.50 X 0.822 = 14.391 cu ft/lba. Since 20,000 cfm

At 61 F the Iefthand member of this equation has the value 17.750; at 62 F its. value is. 17.991; by interpolation the temperature of the resulting mixture is 61.29 F where the . humidity ratio at saturation, also by interpolation, is 0.01161; hence the'degree of saturation of the resulting mixture is .
tt = 0.002847 ^ 0.01161 = 24.52 per cent
. On the Mollier Diagram, Fig. 5, a straight line is drawn between point 1 (0 F, 80 per
cent) and point 2 (70 F, 20 per cent); then point 3 is located on the line one-eighth of the
distance from point 2 to point 1. The temperature and degree of saturation at point 3
are read directly.

Adiabatic Mixing with Injected Water
Another typical air conditioning.process is that of injecting water into.
. an air stream to mix with it adiabatically.. Let W2 -- Wlt denote the
increase in humidity ratio of the air; this is obviously.the quantity of
water injected per pound of dry air; it follows that the quantity of energy
injected per pound of dry air is (W2 --
where h,, denotes the'
specific enthalpy of the water as injected; if the process is adiabatic
this produces an equal increase in the enthalpy of the air, namely,
h2 -- hi; therefore,
.
..
- ' . hi ~ h\ = hw(Ws ~ PFi)

according to which: the process of injecting water into an air stream to mix adiabatically with it is represented by a straight line on the Mollier
Chart whose direction is fixed by the specific enthalpy of the water as injected. The protractor drawn, on the. Mollier Diagram provided with this book 1 provides a*convenient means for determining this direction.
Example 9. It is desired to increase the humidity ratio of air at 70 F dry-bulb,
without changing its temperature. Under what conditions may water be injected in.
order to accomplish the desired result:
, ',
Solution. .At 70 F the increase of enthalpy'per unit increase of humidity ratio is has/WB = 17.27 -* 0.01582 = 1092 Btu per pound of water. This must be the specific enthalpy of the water added if the state point of the air is to be moved along the 70 F isotherm. Saturated steam at 668 F has this specific enthalpy (see Keenan-Keyes, Thermodynamic Properties of Steam). '
On the Mollier Diagram, Fig. 6, it is seen that the 70 F isotherm is parallel to the line on the protractor for a specific enthalpy of 1092 Btu per pound. *
Adiabatic Saturation
' * Any process by which the state point of moist air is moved to the
saturation curve adiabatically may properly be called adiabatic satu
ration.
'
..
Example 10. Liquid water chilled to 35 F is evaporated Into an air stream initially at
90 F and 50 per cent saturation. How much water must be evaporated to bring the air
to saturation at what temperature. >
*.
Solution. The initial enthalpy of the air is 21.625 + 0.50 X 34.31 = 38.780 Btu/lba;
the initial humidity ratio is 0.50 X 0.03118 = 0.01559 lbw/lba; the specific enthalpy
of the chilled water is 3.06 Btu/lbw; therefore, the temperature at which the air reaches '
the saturation curve must be such that the enthalpy As and humidity ratio W$ at satu
ration satisfy the equation,

^The'solution is.75.19 F where the humidity, ratio aFsaturation is 0.01894; consequently,
Fig. 6. Illustration of Use of Mollier Diagram in Solution of Example 9

CHAPTER 3
1946 Guide
the weight of water evaporated is 0.01894 -- 0.01559 = 0.00335 lb per pound of dry air.
On the Mollier Diagram, Fig. 7, a line is drawn through the initial state point (90 F, 50 per cent saturation) in the direction given by the protractor for a specific enthalpy of 3.06 Btu/lbw.
If air is saturated adiabatically with spray water which is recirculated, the water. will ultimately assume a temperature such. that the air is brought to saturation at exactly the same temperature; that is, the water will assume the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature of the air.
Example 11.1 Air at 75 F and 60 per cent saturation is saturated adiabatically with
recirculated spray- water. Find the resulting temperature and the weight of water
added-per pound of dry air.
*
.'
Solution. In view of the above remarks the solution of this example reduces to the determination-of the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature of the air. Its humidity

- ratio is 0.60 X 0.01882 = 0.01129; its enthalpy is 18.018 + 0.60 X . 20.59 = 30.372; Equation 7 defining thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature becomes
. As* - (Wf - 0.01129) Aw* = 30.372
.
At 65 F the value of the lefthand member is 29.995; at 66 F its value is 30.746; by inter
polation the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature is 65.51 F where the humidity ratio
at saturation is 0.01350; consequently the weight of water added is 0.01350 -- 0.01129 =
0.00221 lb per pound of dry air. .
-.
On the Mollier Diagram, Fig. 8, the process is represented by the line AB which is a segment of the 65.51 F thermodynamic wet-bulb line. The difference between the ordi nates at B and at A is the weight of water added per pound of dry air. -
Cooling Load
'
The problem of calculating the cooling load for an air conditioned space usually reduces to the determination of the quantity of inside air that
must be withdrawn .and the condition to which it must- be brought by suitable processing so that its return to the conditioned space-will have the net effect of removing given amounts of energy and water from the space.
Let M denote the weight of dry'air withdrawn with inside air per hour. With it will be withdrawn energy of amount Mhi and water of.amount
' , Thermodynamics

MWi per hour, where hi and Wi denote the enthalpy and humidity ratio of the inside air, respectively.. The weight of dry air returned with the conditioned air will necessarily be the same as that withdrawn with the inside air but with it must be returned a smaller quantity of energy Mh and a smaller quantity of water MW.. LetAQ and A W denote the given amounts of energy and water to be removed from the conditioned space
. per hour; then
Mh = Mhi - AQ MW= MW, - AW
.
Eliminating M and letting q denote the ratio of energy removed to
water removed, that is, q = AQ/AIT,
:
according to which; all possible states for the Conditioned Air lie on astraight line on the Mollier Diagram passing through the state point of the inside air in the direction specified by the numerical value of the ratio q. This line is called the condition line for the given problem. If the condition line crosses the saturation curve, the point of intersection is called the appa ratus dew-point for the given problem.
The protractor on the Mollier Diagram facilitates the drawing of the condition line and the locating of the apparatus dew-point. For this purpose the numerical value of the ratio q is to be regarded as a value of the specific'enthalpy of water added, Btu per pound. ,
Example 12. A condition of 80 F dry-bulb, and 67 F thermodynamic wet-bulb, is
to be maintained in a clothing store, outside conditions being 95 F dry-bulb, and 75 F
thermodynamic wet-bulb. The energy gain from normal heat transmission is estimated
at 16,000 Btu per hour, that from solar radiation at 48,000 Btu per hour. The energy
generated by lights, fans, etc. is estimated at 13,900 Btu per hour. The ventilation
requirement is 30,000 cu ft per hour. The number of occupants is 50. Find the ap
paratus dew-point.

data in Table 1, see especially Example 2.

The weight of dry air entering with the ventilating air is 30,000/14.296 = 2098.5 lb per hour which brings with it energy of amount 2098.5 X 38.408 = 80.595 Btu per hour and water of amount 2098:5 X 0.01413 = 29.659 lb per hour.
The weight of.dry air displaced from the store by the ventilating air is.2098.5 lb per
hour which takes with it energy-of amount 2098.5 X,31.514 = 66,132 Btu per hour-and
water of amount 2098.5 X 0.01122 = 23.541 lb per hour.
.
. Each occupant may be regarded as a normal person standing at rest and therefore
evaporating 0.198 lb of water per hour at about 79 F (Table 4, Chapter 12).' From this
source there is water of amount 50 X 0.198 == 9.90 lb per hour and energy of amount
9.90 X 1095.7 -- 10.847 Btu per hour added to the conditioned space. In addition
each occupant loses 225 Btu per hour by conduction, convectiori, and radiation, making -
a total for 50 persons of 11,300 Btu per hour.

At 58 F the left-hand member has the value 48.513; at 59 F its value is 50.641; by inter polation the apparatus dew-point is 58.08 F.
It would be a mistake to assume that the refrigeration to be supplied .
is equal to the net energy to be removed; for in general water is to.be
removed simultaneously and unless this is removed as liquid at 32 F. it
will automatically take some energy with it. Thus, unless the water, is
reftioved as solid (ice) the refrigeration to be supplied will be somewhat
less than the net energy to be removed.
.
. Example IS. Referring to the cooling load problem of Example 12, suppose that the conditioning process consists of cooling a portion of the inside axr to the apparatus dew point temperature, separating out the liquid thus formed; and returning the resulting saturated mixture to the conditioned space.

'
/ In. practice it may not .be feasible to choose the apparatus .dew-pointas the point on the condition line to which to condition the inside air because to do so would require an excessive number of air changes in the given space. Or it may be that the condition/ line does not cross the saturation curve at all so that the apparatus dew-point as defined does not exist. Finally, it is rarely possible to obtain complete saturation in conventional air conditioning apparatus. Nevertheless the requirements
of the cooling load problem can be exactly .met if the conditioned air is brought to any point on the condition line of the problem.

The condition line is also useful in the analysis of heating load problems as may best be illustrated by means of an illustrative example.

The requirements of the problem are to be met in the following manner; preheat the.
ventilating air; mix it adiabatically with recirculated inside air; saturate the mixture

Analysis., Every pound of dry,air admitted to the system (air conditioned space plus
air-conditioning apparatus) with the ventilating air displaces a* pound of dry'air /rom the systeiri with inside air. ` Since the ventilating air is not admitted, directly to. the space, then for every pound of dry air withdrawn with inside air there is a pound of dry air returned with supply air. This has to have, the net effect of adding energy of amount 60,000 Btu per hour and water of amount zero pounds per hour. Thus the ratio.q deter mining the direction of the condition line is infinite, which means that the condition line is horizontal as indicated by*the protractor on* the Mollier'Diagram. '.* ` / " .
.
'
. The properties of inside air are: h = 25.451, W = 0.007910. Since the state'point of the supply air must be on the condition line at 105 F, its properties'are:: h = 33.986, /^,

CHAPTER 3
1946 Guide
W -- 0.007910: Therefore the weight of dry air withdrawn with inside air.arid returned
with supply air is 60,000 4-' (33.986 - 25:451) = 7029.9 lb per hour.
.
The properties of outside air are: A = 0.668, W = 0:0006298, v = 11.590. Therefore the .weight of dry air introduced into the system with the venlilaling air is 30,000 4
11.590 - 2588.4 lb per hour. This ventilating air is to be mixed adiabatically with inside air containing 7029.9 - 2588.4 = 4441.5 lb of dry air per hour; therefore, the humidity ratio of`he mixture must be (2588.4 X 0.0006298 + 4441.5 X 0.007910) = 7029.9 0.005229.
The condition line crosses the saturation curve at 50.86 F where the enthalpy is 20.782
and the humidity ratio is 0.007910. This is the state point to be reached by adiabatic
saturation of the mixture of ventilating air and inside air with recirculated spray water:'
l y' t*ie state point of the mixture must lie on the 50.86 F thermodynamic wet-;
bulb line so that its enthalpy must have the value,
.
h = 20.782 - (0.007910 - 0.005229) X 18.97 = 20.731 '
'
This requires that the enthalpy of the preheated ventilating air have the value,
h = (7029.9 X 20.731 - 4441.5 X 25.451) 2588.4 = 12.632
'
Since the humidity ratio of the preheated ventilating air is known to be 0.0006298. its
temperature is readily found to be 49.75 F.
.
n Boof quantity of heat required for preheating the ventilating air is 2588.4 X (12.632 -- 0.668) =< 30,968;Btu per hour; that to be added to the supply air is 7029.9 X (33.986 -

with the ventilating air is 2588.4 X 0.668 = 1729 Btu per hour; that carried out of the
system with the inside air displaced by the venlilaling air is 2588.4 X 25.451 = 65,877
Btu per hour; therefore, the net energy added to the system is 30,968 4- 92.823 + 357 4
1729 65,877 = 60,000 Btu per hour as required.
-
On the Mollier Diagram, Fig. 11, point A is the state point of the inside air. The con
dition line is horizontal so that point D is the state point of the supply air. The condition
line crosses the saturation curve at point C so that the state.point of the mixture of
preheated ventilating air and inside air before adiabatic saturation with recirculated
spray water, must lie somewhere on the thermodynamic wet-bulb line through C.. The
state point of the ventilating air is point B, hence that of the. preheated ventilating air
must he somewhere on the horizontal line through B. Its exact location is determined'
graphically by finding the straight line AF which is cut by the thermodynamic wet-bulb
line through C into two segments, such that AE; AF = 253S.4 : 7029.9. The length of
the line BF is the quantity of heat required for preheating the ventilating air per pound
of dry air; the length of the line CD is the quantity of heat to be added to the supply
aw, per pound of dry.air.

WET-BULB TEMPERATURES BELOW 32F
A condition in which the water evaporating from the wick of a wet-bulb thermometer remains liquid at 32 F or lower is one of metastable equi librium and should therefore not be expected to occur in practice: The evidence that it does.sometime occur appears to be indirect and incon clusive- Stable, equilibrium requires that the water freeze at 32 F or
lower and is the condition to be expected in practice. On the Mollier Diagram the lines of constant thermodynamic Wet-bulb temperature have been 'drawn for stable equilibrium only. In other words it has been assumed that the water evaporating from the wick of the wet-bulb thermometer freezes when its temperature falls'to 32 F or lower.
Example 15. Find the temperature at which dry air has a thermodynamic wet-bulb
temperature of 32 F.
'
- , ...
Solution. If it is assumed that the water evaporating from the wick of the wet'bulb thermometer remains liquid, the specific enthalpy of the dry air must have the value,
Aa = 11-758 - 0.04 X 0.003788 = 11,758 '
corresponding to which the temperature is 48.95 F. On the other hand if it is assumed that the water freezes, the specific enthalpy of the dry air must have the value,
;
Aa = 11.758 + 143.36 X 0.003788 = 12.301
. ..
corresponding to which the temperature is 51.21 F.' The second assumption is the as sumption of stable equilibrium arid should be expected to represent the actual situation. The corresponding answer, namely, 51.21 F is the one given by the Mollier Diagram. `
DALTON'S RULE
As stated in the introduction the thermodynamic properties of moist
air have hitherto been obtained from those of dry air and water vapor
separately by application of Dalton's Rule. Actual departures from the
rule are- due principally, but not entirely, to intermolecular forces;
therefore, in order to apply the rule with any measure of consistency it -
is necessary to idealize the situation by assuming that the effects of such
intermolecular forces are negligible and that both the dry air and the
water vapor behave like perfect gases. Making this assumption, the
volume occupied by a mols of dry air at'temperature T and pressure
pa is t = naRT/pa while that occupied by nw mols of water vapor
at the same temperature but at pressure is t = th,RTJp,,. According to Dalton's Rule, if the dry air and water vapor are mixed, each occupies
the whole volume .of the mixture at'the temperature of the mixture and
the pressure of the mixture' is the sum of the individual pressures. Mathe
matically,

It follows: from these equations that the so-called "partial" pressure of each constituent is its mol-fraction times the observed pressure of the mixture; thus, for water vapor,
W Pw ' a + nw t
(13)
and similarly for dry air. Equation 13 may be regarded as the Dalton Rule definition of partial pressure in terms of the observable terms
Wa, Ww, P`
'
.

CHAPTER 3'
`1946 Guide
The humidity ratio W is the mol ratio Ww/na iimes the ratio of molecula'r weights, namely, 18.016/28.966 = 0.6220; hence (13) can be written
' .
W = 0.6220 --P ---- --Pw-
(14)
...
.
Now, even if it is assumed that both the dry air and the water vapor.'
behave like perfect gases, it does not follow that at saturation the "partial"
pressure of the water vapor can be put equal to the saturation pressure
of pure water at the temperature of the mixture because; (1) the coexisting
liquid (or solid) phase is not pure water but contains a small amount of
dissolved air, and (2) the coexisting liquid (or solid) phase has to support
' the observed pressure p and not just the saturation pressure p, of pure
water. These effects are calculable but are in general smaller than the
effects of intermolecular forces which have already been ignored. Be
. sides, the only legitimate reason for retaining Dalton's Rule is to gain
simplicity; hence these effects should be disregarded also, and the humi
dity ratio at saturation estimated as follows,

In this chapter the ratio W/We has been called degree of saturation

STEADY FLOW ENERGY EQUATION
In steady flow, the energy convected by the fluid at any section is the sum of (a) kinetic energy due to velocity; (b) gravitational energy due to elevation; (c) enthalpy due to the condition of pressure, temperature and composition of the fluid.
Kinetic Energy
There are reasons to believe that the so-called velocity pressure hv
read by a Pitot tube is simply the kinetic energy per unit volume of the.
fluid immediately upstream from the tube, as application of Bernoulli's'
Equation suggests. Thus
../

F = 1097.3
' -- (23)
where
V -- velocity, feet per minute.
.
hv = velocity pressure, inches of water at 60 F.
p = density of fluid, pounds per cubic foot. -
In the case of flow through a duct, the velocity pressure is found to vary considerably over the section and a traverse has to be made. The cross sectional area of the duct is divided into a number of equal concentric areas, and measuring stations are located at centroidal points in each area along two perpendicular diameters. Usually the ultimate object is to
determine an average velocity V from which the weight of fluid crossing
;the section per unit time can be obtained on multiplying by the cross
sectional area of the duct and by the density of the fluid. This is obtained
by simply averaging the square roots of all measured velocity pressures
as follows:
.

;
F = average velocity, feet per minute.

-
(A^)av = arithmetic average of the square roots of all measured velocity pressures,

But the item of-present importance is the average kinetic energy, con
verted, with each pound of fluid. Consistently with the previous discus
sion, this can be shown to be

..
If the velocity pressure were uniform over the section, Equations 24 and 25 could be combined to give
But, it is interesting to note that if the velocity varies pardbolically from
zero at the walls to maximum at the center as it doesin the case of purely
viscous flow in a circular duct, then the average kinetic energy is twice that
given by Equation 26.
.
Example 19. If 2000 cfm of air flows through an 8 in. diameter circular duct, find the average kinetic energy per pound of air.
Solution. The cross-sectional area of the duct is 0,349 sq ft; hence the average flow
velocity is 5730 fpm. If the.velocity were uniform over the section, the average kinetic '
energy would be (5730 -s- 13,430)* = 0.182 Btu per pound. But it is more likely that
the actual distribution of velocity would approximate that characteristic of viscous
flow; hence the average kinetic energy would be more nearly 2 X ,0.182 = 0.364 Btu
per pound.

U. S. STANDARD ATMOSPHERE
The so-called U. S. Standard Atmosphere is an essential standard of
reference in aeronautics and as such has become important to the air
conditioning engineer who frequently has to simulate atmospheric con
ditions at high altitudes in connection with aeronautical research. In
defining this standard it is first assumed that temperature T varies
linearly with altitude Z above sea level, at any rate up to the lower limit
of the isothermal layer at 35,332 ft. Thus,
.
. T = T0 - 0.0019812 Z or .

' vertical thickness dZ (ft) weighs dZ/v (lb); This accounts for the dif

of the disc; -hence, using Equation 31.

THE flow of fluids is part of the branch of engineering science known as fluid mechanics, which will be discussed here insofar as it applies to the work of engineers in the fields of heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning. Probably air is the most frequently handled fluid, but
. other gases and liquids are often involved. Compressible fluids (gases)
and incompressible fluids (liquids) vary somewhat in behavior, though in
cases where pressure and density changes are small, the gases may be
treated as incompressible fluids.
..
THEORY OF FLUID FLOW
The following head equation based on energy considerations for steady
flow processes will serve as a basis for the theory of the flow of fluids.
This equation is presented in several ways in various texts, but a suitable
form is:

p = pressure in pounds per square foot.
v = specific volume, in cubic feet per pound: -

The steady flow energy equation is.. applicable to a wide range of problems in.the flow of fluids. Obviously it applies to flow through pipes," orifices, and nozzles, and to the flow through turbines and centrifugal pumps. Reciprocating engines and pumps are essentially intermittent, but the flow tends to become steady as the number of cylinders increases, and becomes practically uniform at the entrance, and exit if the system . includes receivers and pipes of sufficient size.

head, all in feet of the fluid; the total head, ht is the sum of the other , three heads. Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically the relation of the various factors. The pressure head at point 2 is lower than at point 1 because of . the elevation of point 2 over point 1, and the velocity at point 2.is lower than at point 1 because of the larger pipe diameter at point 2. If the pipe diameter were the same throughout, the velocity, and consequently the velocity head, would be the same at both points, but tlje higher elevation at point 2 would still be responsible for a loss in pressure head. The utility of the equation is evident, though it should be remembered ' that in it the effects offriction and turbulence are neglected, and that Fig. 1 represents ideal conditions. It should also be noted that the Bernoulli
equation applies only to incompressible fluids.
Pressure Loss in Circular Pipes
The pressure loss in circular pipes is customarily expressed by the
formula:

I = the length of the pipe, in feet.
V - the velocity, in feet per second.
g = the acceleration due to gravity = 32.17 ft per (second) (second).
d = the internal diameter, of the pipe, in feet, and,
-
1 / = a dimensionless friction coefficient.
.
The formula is generally known by the name'of Darcy-of Fanning, . though it seems to have been originated by d'Aubisson de Voisins in 1834.
The factor / is a function of the Reynolds number '

shown as a function of temperature for air in Fig. 2 and for water in Fig. 3.

Accordingly, the maximum velocity occurs at the center of the pipe

effect on the loss in head for laminar flow.

it proceeds very rapidly.

When the flow is turbulent, the velocity profile is essentially parabolic '
over four fifths of the pipe diameter, but near the pipe walls, the effect

tests on rough pipe, each of them, identified by a value of e/d, with e

FLOW THROUGH NOZZLE OR ORIFICE
Another useful expression, covering the energy change in an orifice or nozzle, may be derived from Equation 2. As with the flow .through
pipes, no outside work is done. Then, assuming that there is no difference in elevation, and since practically no heat is evolved or absorbed, i.e., the process is adiabatic, E, z, and q of Equation 2 may be eliminated, and, by rearranging, the equation becomes

CHAPTER 4
1946 'Guide
The connection of the velocity of sound with the flow of fluids has already been noted. Its most important application is to the. flow of gases through a converging tube or nozzle. If it is assumed that the inlet velocity of the fluid, Vi, is negligible, Equation 24 will reduce to
Let W represent the weight of gas flowing through the converging tube
in a unit of time, and At the area at the throat; then,

gives,

If this is computed and the figures are plotted, the curved line (partly
solid and partly broken) of Fig. 6 is found. The maximum value of

decreased further, the discharge is constant, as indicated by the horizontal
line. The value.of pt at the maximum point is called the critical pressure,
or pc, and from Equation 27 it is seen that pc is approximately 53 per cent
of pi when air is flowing.
;
To find the velocity at the critical pressure, let us assume- that the upstream velocity Vi in Equation 22 is so small as to be negligible. Using the subscript c to indicate conditions at the critical point, we have

Comparing Equation 39 with Equation 25, it will be seen that the
velocity at the. throat is equal to the velocity of sound at the critical pressure.
, Critical flow is attained only in. converging tubes, in nozzles, and in
' orifices with a well-rounded approach. It does not occur in sharp-edged
orifices or in nozzles having an expanding-outlet section. The so-called
critical flow prover uses this property of constant rate of flow above `the
critical pressure, and finds application as a flow regulator and a quantity-
rate meter; in; either case, the theoretical rate of flow may be computed
from Equation 38, multiplying Vc by the area of the constriction to
obtain the volume rate of flow.

Actual Flow Through Orifices and Nozzles
-
The actual rate of flow through an orifice, nozzle, or Venturi tube is
rarely equal to the theoretical, and generally the actual rate is less than
the theoretical. In the case of the nozzle and Venturi tube, this is due to
losses from wall roughness, fluid friction, and turbulence during the
expansion in the section following the throat. While wall roughness is
not a factor in a sharp-edged orifice, fluid friction and turbulence are
important, as is the fact that the discharge contracts to a degree variable
with the ratio of outlet to inlet pressure after leaving the orifice, so that
the limiting area is somewhat less than the opening in the orifice plate.
Accordingly, Equation 45 must be modified by a correction factor, C.
Usually, the velocity of approach factor is included with this correction
factor, and, if

The differential loss, hi, is in terms-of feet of the fluid flowing through the orifice or nozzle. In the case of a gas flowing, where it is customary to read the differentia! pressure in inches of water, feet of gas must be converted to inches of water. Since dry air at 32 F and 14.7 psi absolute pressure weighs 0.0807 lb per cubic foot, the weight of a cubic foot of any other kind of gas under the same conditions is 0.0807 G, where G is the specific gravity of the gas referred to air.

lence produced by the roughness of the pipe surface, a given roughness being relatively greater with a small pipe than with a large one. `
Space does not permit presenting all the coefficient data that are avail- .,
able. However, if the pipe is smooth drawn tubing, the effect of roughness
is negligible, and the coefficients for the largest size of pipe apply also to smaller pipes. Figs. 7, 8, 9, and 10 show these coefficients, Nkc, being the Reynolds number referred to the diameter of the orifice or throat of
the nozzle, in feet.
.
Pressure Taps-Location and Types
_ '
.
The different sets of pressure taps are called flange taps, radius taps,
Fig. 11. Relative Location of Flange, Radios and Vena Contracta Taps
.
vena contracta taps, and pipe or full-flow; taps. The relative locations of the'first'three of these are shown in Fig. 11, and the need for different coefficients for the different taps is indicated by the course of the change in pressure of the flowing fluid shown in the lower part of the figure. Pipe taps are located 2J/ pipe diameters upstream and 8 pipe diameters downstream, both measured from the upstream face of the orifice plate, or in other words, before the orifice plate has had any effect on the flow and after the recovery in pressure has been completed.
.
Still another type of pressure tap is used in European practice,-- corner taps. Pressures are taken from recesses in the flange connected to annular slits in the comers formed by the pipe wall and the orifice plate. Coefficients for these taps have been adopted by the International Standards Association, but are not used commercially in America.
\
It will be noted that the location of the downstream pressure tap of the vena contracta arrangement is variable. Vena contracta is the term ' - applied to the minimum cross-section of the jet from the orifice, where. /

the static pressure is at a minimum. Its location, and the location of'"
the downstream vena contracts tap, varies with the ratio of orifice to pipe diameter, and with /ate of flow, as shown in Fig. 12; the tap is generally located<in accordance with the mean curve in the figure.
Expansion Factor for Gases

The expansion factor, F, for gases (for liquids, Y =;1) is found from the empirical formula
Y = 1 -- (0.41 + 0.35fr)

. (55)
This is applicable to flange, radius, and vena contracta taps. For pipe -
.taps, the formula is

(56)
Values of F for air, computed from these equations, are given in Fig. 13
and Fig. 14.
Computing Orifice Discharge
-
With this information it is possible to compute the discharge from an orifice if the Reynolds number is known. Here an odd complication is . encountered--when the value of 7VRe is computed, the rate of flow, which is the unknown quantity, must be used in the computation. How ' ever, it will be noted in Figs. 7, 8, 9, and 10 that the orifice coefficient does not change greatly as IVRe changes. If, then, an estimate is made of . the velocity, using this in computing IVrc and if the corresponding coef ficient is used in Equation 54, a value for the rate of flow will be found. Using this velocity to compute a corrected value of 7VRe and repeating . the process, a more nearly correct value of Qt is found. This cut-and-try method may be continued for several more cycles, but generally the first or second correction will be found sufficient. .
' Another method, would be to use the value of AT, corresponding to
lVRe = cd , modifying this with a factor involving the rate of flow, deter?
mined from the temperature, and the differential and static pressures.
This method is used by the American Gas Association3..

! STEAM FLOW MEASUREMENT
. While steam may be considered as a gas, its measurement differs from
. that of the usual gases because of a number of factors. Equation 48 serves as the starting point.1 Since it is usual to measure the differential
pressure in inches of wafer, it is necessary -to convert fe, the head in feet
in terms of the flowing fluid, to few, the actual head in inches of water,

CHAPTER 4
1946- Guide
In steam measurement, a constant head of water is maintained, over each, leg of the manometer by means of condensing chambers, in order to keep the heat of the steam away from the meter. ' As the mercury level fluctuates, the difference in head as recorded on the chart, therefore, is not that due to mercury alone, but to mercury minus an equivalent head of water. To correct for this, the equation
. *aw - *w
(59)
. is applied to Equation 58. The denominator in Equation 59 is the specific gravity of mercury; and the numerator is the difference in specific gravity between mercury and water. Equation 58, hence, becomes

too, it is necessary to convert h( to Zkw.'the actual head in inches of water,
by substituting Equation 57. It is a|so necessary to correct for the weight
of the fluid above the manometer, and since this may be other than water,
it is better to use an equation of more general form than Equation .59:

NOZZLE COEFFICIENTS AND EXPANSION FACTORS
Nozzles differ from orifices in that the flow is guided to the throat in such a way that contraction of the jet is suppressed, or, in other words, there is no vena contracta. Because of this fact, the coefficients are
different from those of orifices, and very close to unity before the velocity of approach factor is added. Also, the expansion factor may be deduced
rationally, rather than empirically, as with orifices.
.
Two shapes of nozzles that have been under investigation by the .
A.S.M.E. for some time are shown in Figs. 16 and 17. They are referred

to as long-radius nozzles. Their contour is that of a semi-ellipse, and the ` contracting portion is followed by a cylindrical section of the same area
as the throat. The shape shown in Fig. 16 is designed for use with ratios of throat to pipe diameter of 0.53 or less, that of Fig. 17 for ratios of 0.4 to 0.7. The most usual location of pressure taps is 1 pipe diameter up stream and ]/2 diameter downstream, both measured from the plane of the nozzle inlet. In addition, the International Standards Association has adopted still another shape of nozzle, which has a rather sharper approach-than the A.S.M.E. nozzles, and which uses corner taps. Very little use of this nozzle has been made in this country. ' .
The formulas already given for orifices apply equally to nozzles except for discharge coefficients, and for the expansion factor, .when it is applied. Discharge coefficients for nozzles, as for orifices, vary with pipe size; they may either increase,r decrease with decreasing sizeof pipes depend- . .' ing on the sharpness of the approach curvature of the nozzle.. For the A.S.M.E. nozzles, they tend to decrease. Generally speaking, too, the.

FLOW MEASUREMENT BY PITOT TUBE
There remains one other head type meter useful in ventilating work, the Pitpt tube, named for the Frenchman who discovered the principle. The Pitot tube is essentially a bent tube with its open end pointed upstream, combined with another tube with its end pointed crosswise to the flow or downstream,, or connected to openings crosswise to the flow. Used with flowing liquid, the liquid will rise in each tube, but higher in the one pointed upstream. Used with a flowing gas, and the two tubes : connected by a U-tube containing.water,.the liquid level in the U-tube will be displaced, with the lower level on the side connected, to the tube pointed upstream.- The tube'directed hpstream receives the impact
.
Fig. 22. Relation of Expansion Factor, 9, for Nozzles to Diameter Ratio and Pressure Loss for Steam, Carbon Dioxide and Natural Gas
It is often difficult to obtain the exact static pressure. In the usual
construction of Pitot tubes, the static pressure openings are downstream
from the impact pressure opening, and turbulence induced by the nose
may affect the static pressure reading. If the static pressure openings
point downstream in anj? degree, a suction effect is' produced to falsify
the reading. In instruments having the static pressure opening pointed
downstream, the coefficient may be as low as 0.86. Consequently, for
_ accurate work, Pitot tubes should be calibrated, and the pertinent
coefficient should be applied to-Equation 69. In a sense,, this coefficient
is advantageous, since it results in a higher differential reading, which,
in turn, enables more accurate readings at low flows.
. .
In.using Pitot tubes, it is generally necessary to make a traverse'of the pipe or duct to. determine the course of the velocity pattern. In a pipe, for instance, one of the profiles, shown in Fig. 5 would be obtained. Near a valve or fitting, however, the profile might be quite distorted, a ^

fact which would be revealed, by the traverse. If the pipe or duct is
divided into equal areas, and a determination of-AaW is made for each,
the average velocity would be obtained by using the average of the square
roots of /iw in Equation 70.

INSTALLATION OF NOZZLES AND ORIFICES
. A final note should be made of the installation of orifices and nozzles. Generally speaking, the orifice or nozzle, together with a holding arrange ment, including pressure taps, is available from the manufacturer. In making the installation, the user should make certain that the flow

with velocity profiles similar to those shown in Fig. 5. Fittings and valves,
which tend to direct the flow to one side, and which in some cases cause,
it to rotate as it advances, must be far enough upstream from the orifice
of.nozzle to permit the disturbed stream to straighten out to the even
form before reaching the meter. Minimum conditions in the installation
for, avoiding, trouble from fittings and valves.are. shown in Fig. 23. If*
necessary,-straightening vanes may be used upstream from the orifice
or nozzle at a distance of not less than 8 pipe diameters.

HEAT is that form of energy which is transferred from place to place by virtue of an existing temperature difference. The temperature difference is the potential which causes the transfer, the latter in turn being resisted by the thermal properties of the material combined in a simple term and known as the resistance. Energy exchange associated with mass transfer from place to place (evaporation, condensation, etc.) due to concentration differences is treated elsewhere such as in the section on cooling tower design in Chapter 37. The objectives of this chapter are to:
1. . Describe the mechanisms and present the rate equations for the different modes
of heat transfer.
.
2. Illustrate the application of the basic concepts to steady-state problems (tempera
ture independent of time or a cyclic variable thereof) by means of several typical solutions
of heat transfer systems.

CONDUCTION. CONVECTION AND RADIATION
Thermal conduction in fluids is the term applied to the mechanism of
heat transfer whereby the molecules of higher random kinetic energies
transmit by direct molecular collision part of their energy to adjacent.
'molecules of lower random kinetic energy. Since the .temperature is
proportional to the random kinetic energy of the molecules, thermal
transfer will occur in the. direction of decreasing temperature. The
molecules oscillate about a mean position at fairly high velocities and
frequencies, but there is no net material -flow associated with the con
duction mechanism. In the case' of fluids, thermal conduction is signi- .
ficant in the region very close to a solid boundary or wall, for in this
region the flow is laminar, parallel with the wall surface, and there are.
practically no cross currents in the direction of the heat transfer across
the solid fluid boundary. In solid bodies the significant mechanism of
heat transport is always thermal conduction and is ascribed to an energy
transfer mechanism associated with the free electrons l.
.
Contrasted to the thermal conduction mechanism, thermal convention involves energy transfer by eddy mixing and diffusion 1 in addition to conduction. This condition is pictured schematically-in Fig. 1 which exhibits transfer from a pipe wall at surface temperature t, to a colder fluid at a bulk temperature k- (Bulk temperature is that which would be attained if the fluid stream were drawn off at a certain section and mixed. It is therefore slightly higher than the lowest temperature in the stream). In the laminar sublayer, immediately adjacent to the wall; the heat transfer occurs by thermal conduction; in the transition region, which is called the buffer layer, eddy mixing as well as conduction effects are significant; in the eddy or turbulent region the major fraction of the transfer occurs by eddy mixing.
99
100
,CHAPTER 5
1946-Guide
In most commercial equipment the main body of the fluid is in turbu lent flow, and the laminar film exists at the solid wails only, as shown in Fig. 1. But in cases of low-velocity flow in small tubes, or with viscous liquids such as heavy oil (low Reynolds numbers), the entire flow may be . laminar. In these latter cases there is no transition or eddy region.
When the fluid currents are induced by sources external to the heat transfer region, as for example a pump, the described solid to fluid heat transfer is termed forced convection. In contrast, if the fluid currents are internally generated, as a result of non-homogeneous densities arising from the temperature variations, the heat transfer is termedfree convection.
In the conduction and convection mechanisms heat is transferred as internal energy, i.e., the random molecular kinetic energy associated with the material temperature. For radiant heat transfer, however, a change in energy form takes place from internal energy at the source to electro magnetic energy for transmission, then back to internal energy at the receiver. Since radiant energy exhibits characteristic wave lengths, the
Fig. 1. Thermal Convection Conditions

solution of thermal radiation problems is in many respects similar to the
solution of problems in the field of illumination. `
..
' The rate, of thermal current flow (i.e., rate of heat transfer), corre sponding to the three transfer mechanisms previously described, may be expressed by three rate equations. These are similar to Ohm's Law for ' electrical flow, the current flow through a resistance being proportional
to the potential difference.
Thermal Conduction Equation
, Equation 1 states symbolically that the thermal conduction current per unit transfer area normal to the flow, (dq)/(dA), Btu per (hour) (square foot), is proportional to the temperature gradient (dt)/(dL), degrees Fahrenheit per foot. The proportionality factor is termed the thermal conductivity, k, Btu per (hour) (square foot) (degrees Fahrenheit
per foot of thickness).

(1).
The minus sign on the right side of the equation is introduced to
indicate positive current flow in the direction of decreasing temperature.
Fig. 2 shows the physical significance of indicated quantities.
.-
It should be emphasized that the thermal conductivity used should be expressed in consistent units; either using the inch or foot throughout.
' Fundamentals of Heat Transfer
101
Expressions of conductivity used in the heating field are usually inconsistent in this sense, in that it is customary to refer to the con ductivity per square foot but for one inch of thickness. This custom has been adopted for the reason that wall thicknesses are usually expressed in inches, whereas if expressed in feet, decimal or fractional thicknesses would result. When, dealing with flat walls no complication is involved in using the inconsistent expression of conductivity. However, when curved or spherical walls are considered, considerable complication is involved. Therefore, in this discussion the consistent units of con ductivity expressed in Btu per (hour) (square foot) (degrees Fahrenheit per one foot thickness) are used throughout. Conductivity values obtained from
Chapter 6 or Table 1 in this chapter, which are expressed in inconsistent
units, must therefore be converted for use in the calculations of this chapter by dividing by 12. As an example, the conductivity of brick, expressed in inconsistent units as 5.0 in Table 2 of Chapter 6, becomes 0.42 when

This rate equation states that the thermal convection current per unit
transfer area (dq)/(dA), Btu per (hour) (square foot) is proportional to
the temperature difference, (ts -- k) which is the temperature of the
surface less that of the fluid. The particular fluid temperature to use for
a given system will be noted under the discussion of that system. The
proportionality factor is termed the unit convection conductance (some
times called the film coefficient for convection), hc, Btu per (hour) (square
foot) (degree' Fahrenheit). These convection conditions are illustrated
in Fig.,1.

The heat transmission by free convection from vertical walls j24 in. or
more in height is given in Table 2 as calculated from Equation 2a for '
an ambient air temperature of 80 F. The values in Table 2 are not
changed appreciably by a considerable change in air temperature for a
given temperature excess. For instance, a change in air temperature <
from 80 to 40 F will increase the heat transmission given in Table 2
by only 1.3 per cent.
.
,'
.
Table 2 can also be used for calculating the free convection rate of
transmission for various commercial shapes such as pipes and ducts.
These calculations are simplified by the use of the factors in Tables 3
and 4. Table 3 gives factors by which the values in Table 2 must be.
multiplied to obtain the-free-convective transfer from various shapes
whose characteristic dimensions are 24 in. or over, and Table 4 gives the
factors to be used in conjunction with the factors in Table 3 for obtaining
the free convection from Table 2 for pipes and ducts whose characteristic
dimensions are less than 24 in.

'
For example, the free convection transfer from a 3 in. O.D. horizontal
cylinder .for a temperature difference of 40 F = 25.0 X 0.73 X 1.52 =
27.7 Btu per (square foot) (hour). ..

,FS = the emissivity factor is also dimensionless and 1. This factor accounts for
the absorption and emission characteristics of the surfaces for the radiation

The same resistance analysis may be applied to complicated steady- '
state conduction problems. Table Vindicates the solutions in six common
cases of steady-state conduction.
.
A complete analysis by the resistance method is well illustrated by considering the heat transfer from the air outside to the cold water inside of an insulated pipe. The temperature gradients and the nature of the resistance analysis are indicated by the two sketches of Fig. 4.
Since air is sensibly transparent to radiation, there will be some heat transfer by both radiation and convection to the outer insulation surface. The mechanisms act in parallel on the air side. The total current, by radiation and convection then passes through the insulating layer and the pipe wall by thermal conduction, and thence by convection into main cold water streams. Radiation is not significant on the water side as liquids are sensibly opaque to radiation, although water transmits energy ' in the visible region. The contact resistance between the insulation and . the pipe wall is presumed to be equal to zero.
Referring to Fig. 4, the thermal current for a given length N of pipe,
5re, Btu per hour, may be thought of as flowing through the parallel
resistances Rt and 2?c, associated with the insulation surface radiation and
convection transfer. Then the flow is through the resistance offered, to
thermal conduction by the insulation, R3, through the pipe wall resistance,
Rt, and into the water stream through the convection resistance, Ri.
Note the analogy to the direct current electrical circuit problem. A
temperature (potential) drop is required to overcome these resistances to
the flow of thermal current. The total resistance to heat transfer, J?t,
hour degrees Fahrenheit per Btu, is the summation of the individual
resistances:
,-
Rt = Ri + Rt + Rt + R,
(9)
where the resultant parallel resistance Ri is obtained from:
-L = _L + _L
'
R, Rr ^ Rc
.
Provided the individual resistances may be evaluated, the total resistance
can be obtained from this relation. Then the heat transfer current for the
length of pipe (N, ft) can be established by the relation:
.
'
Src (Btu per hour) -- ^-=--!f
.
Rt
For a unit length of the pipe the heat transfer rate is:
(10)
. ^ (Btu per hour foot) =
(11)
' The temperature drop, A t, through an individual resistance may then be calculated from the relation: \
.
At ~ R Qrc
where R is the resistance in question.
, The problem is now reduced to one of evaluating the individual resist ances of the system. This entails suitable integration of the rate- Equa tions 1, 2 and 3 to produce expressions of the form:

where q is the.heat transfer rate, arid At is the potential drop or tempera ture difference through the resistance R. .Table 8 lists such solutions for six different conduction systems. Table 2 in Chapter 6 and Table 1 of this chapter indicate the magnitudes of the thermal conductivities, k, to be employed in the expressions of Table 8, after dividing k by 12.
The solution applicable to the problem depicted in Fig. 4, for the calculation of R2 and Rj, is case 2 in Table 8. Thus for a 1 ft length of 2 in: nominal size, pipe (I. D. = 2.067 in., O. D. = 2.375 in.) insulated with 1 in. of material having a conductivity of 0.025: .

The convection resistances to beat transfer from the pipe wall to the cold water, Ri, and from the air to the surface of the insulating material, Rc, are dependent on the flow conditions prevailing at these surfaces, and on the thermal properties of the fluids.' The unit conductances for . thermal convection, Ac, Btu per (hour) (square foot) (degree Fahrenheit), have been determined by test for many flow systems. These data may be employed to predict the conductances for similarflow systems. Table 5 summarizes some empirical equations expressing such test results.
For the problem under consideration (Fig. 4) case 3 of Table 5 is applicable for the calculation of the cold water side convection resistance Ri. Corresponding to the water velocity of 5 fps, the mass velocity is:
G = 5 (ft per sec) X 62.4 (lb per cu ft) X 3600 (sec per hr) = 11.2 X 10s lb per (hour)

This result may not be deemed conservative inasmuch as the expression is for still air. If, however, the air is not still, but flows at approximately 5 mph or 7 fps the.mass velocity corresponds to:
G = 7 X 0.07 X 3600 = 1770 lb air per (hour) (square foot).
A magnitude of k = 0.014 Btu per (hour) (square foot) (degree Fahren
heit) per one foot thickness applied to case 4 yields:

Rc = 2 8 X 1 14 =

The radiation resistance, Rr, which acts in parallel with the convection
resistance, -Rc', for the transfer of heat to the surface of the insulation, may
be calculated. For the purposes of this illustrative problem it will be
assumed that the insulated pipe is exposed to (sees)1 surroundings, which
exist at 120 F. Then the angle factor, EA, is unity and for an estimated
surface emissivity of 0.9 (see Table 6), Ee = 0.9. As a first approximation
the insulation surface temperature will be estimated as 20 deg below
the surroundings at 120 F. Then the radiation per degree of temperature
difference, by Equation .3 (or more conveniently by Table 8) divided by
the temperature difference will be:
- . .
Ar
(196 - 170) 0.95 20
1.17 Btu per (hour) (square, foot) (degree Fahrenheit).
The outside surface area of the insulation associated' with 1 ft of pipe length was previously calculated as 1.14'sq ft. Thus:
Rr = ~f ~17 X 1 14 =
kr degree Fahrenheit per Btu.
The resultant resistance of Rc and i?r acting in parallel (see Fig.'4) can
now be evaluated as:
.
= Q-^J2 + 7)^5 = 4.54 Btu per (hour) (degree Fahrenheit).
' R< = 0.22 hr degree Fahrenheit per Btu.
The over-all resistance, Rt, surroundings to cold water, is the sum of -Ri + Rj + Rz + Rt = 4.1 hr degree Fahrenheit per Btu for 1 ft length-

of pipe. Note that the controlling resistances are Rz and R, and that
neglect of both Ri and Rt would not significantly influence the total re
sistance, Ri.
, .
On the basis of this resistance calculation the heat transfer from the
surroundings to the cold water may be evaluated as:
.
-Jj- =
^----- = 21 Btu per (hour) (foot)
or about 0.175 tons of refrigeration per 100 ft of pipe. Since the calculation is based on a 1 ft pipe length:
.
3rc = 21 Btu per hour.
The temperature drops through the various resistances are now readily
evaluated by Equation 12 as:
`
<o--<sj 1st--ht kt--tsi tm--If
air to insulation surface = Ri grc = 0.22 X 21 = 4.6 F.
through the insulation = Ri Qrc -- 3.9 X 21 = 82 F.
through the pipe wall = Rt grc = 8.5 X 10"* X 21 = 0.02 F.
pipe wall to cold water = Ri grc = 2.8 X 10"* X 21 = 0.06 F.
:.
The-solution was obtained on the assumption that the air temperature
and the outside temperature differed by 20 F. In order to obtain a slightly better estimate of the rate of heat transfer the numerical solution should be repeated using the temperatures calculated from the previous listed temperature.differences.
The foregoing problem serves to illustrate a general method of solving
` steady-state heat transfer problems. There are many problems which
cannot be approximated by steady-state solutions. For instance, the
problem of pipe line insulation in transient service; the behavior.of auto
matically controlled thermoflow circuits; or the periodic absorption.of
solar energy by roof and wall structures during the day and nocturnal
. radiation to the cold sky at night. The transient heat transfer problem
differs from the steady-state in that energy storage rates need to be
considered. Thus thermal capacity in addition to resistance effects is
significant. The vector sum of the thermal capacitance and resistance is `
the thermal impedance. It is not within the scope of this chapter to deal
with many .of these problems. There are, however, solutions available
in graphical form for certain special cases. Also a general approximate
method may be employed which is analogous to the treatment of capacity-
resistance lumped parameter electrical circuits.

THE design of conditioning or heating systems for buildings requires a knowledge of the thermal properties of the walls enclosing the space. The rate of heat flow through the walls under steady-state conditions at design temperatures is usually the basis for calculating the heat required. For a given wall under standard conditions the rate as a specific value designated as U, the over-all coefficient of heat transmission. It may be determined by test in a guarded hot box apparatus or it may be computed from known values of the thermal conductance of the various components. Because testing of all combinations of building materials is impracticable, the procedure and necessary data for calcu lation of the value of U are .given in this chapter, together with tables of computed values for the more common constructions.
HEAT TRANSFER SYMBOLS
U = over-all coefficient of heat transmission (air to air); the time rate of heat flow expressed in Btu per (hour) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree temperature difference between air on the inside and air on the outside of a wall, floor, roof or ceiling). The term is applied to the usual combinations of materials in construction and also to single materials, such as window glass, and includes the surface conductance on both sides.
k -- thermal conductivity; the time rate of heat flow through a homogeneous material under steady conditions through unit area per unit temperature gradient in the direction perpendicular to the area. Its value is expressed in Btu pet (hour) (square foot) (Fahren heit degree per inch). Materials are considered homogeneous when the valueNof k is not affected by-variation in thickness or size of sample within the range normally used in'construction.
C -- thermal conductance; the time rate of heat flow through a material from one of its surfaces to the other per unit temperature difference between the two surfaces. Its value is expressed in Btu per (hour) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree). The term is applied to specific materials as used which may be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
/ = film or surface conductance; the time rate of heat flow between a surface and the surrounding air. Its value is expressed in Btu per (hour) (square foot of surface) (Fahrenheit degree temperature difference). Subscripts i and o are used to differentiate between inside and outside surface conductances respectively.
a thermal conductance of an air space; the time rate of heat flow.through an air space per unit temperature difference between the boundary surfaces. Its value is ex pressed in Btu per (hour)(square foot of area)(Fahrenheit degree). The conductance of an air space is dependent on the temperature difference, the height, the depth, the position and the character of the boundary surfaces. The relationships are not linear and accu rate values must be obtained by test and not by computation.
R = thermal resistance. Its value is expressed in Fahrenheit degrees per (Btu)
(hour) (square foot). It may represent any of the following and must therefore be

CONDUCTIVITIES AND CONDUCTANCES
The method of calculating the over-all coefficient of heat transmission for a given construction is comparatively simple, but accurate values of conductivities and conductances must be used to obtain satisfactory results. In addition there are sometimes parallel' heat flow paths of different resistances in the same wall,, which require modification of the

measurements.
' . V ' '' \: '
`
The determination 'of the fundamental' conductivities and conduc tances requires considerable skill and experience. to obtain accurate results. It is recommended that thermal conductivities of homogeneous ' materials be determined by means of the Guarded Hot Plate l. For deter mination of conductances, a Guarded Hot Box method s is generally used.
Tables 1 and 2 give conductivities and conductances which' are quite generally used in calculation and which have been selected.from various sources. Wherever possible the properties, of the material and test conditions are given. In selecting arid applying heat transmission values to any construction, caution is necessary, because coefficients for the same material may differ because of variations which occur, in test methods, in the materials themselves, or in. the temperature of the mater-
ial when tested.

Conductivity of Homogeneous Materials. '
.' .
.
Thermal conductivity is a property of a homogeneous material and of
types of building materials such as lumber, brick and stone which may be
considered homogeneous. Most insulating riiaterials,. except air spaces
and reflective types, are of a porous nature arid consist of combinations
of solid matter with small air cells. The thermal conductivity of these
. materials will vary with density, mean temperature, size of fibers or
particles, degree and extent of bond between particles, moisture present,
and the arrangement of fibers or particles within the material.
.
The effect of density upon conductivity (at constant mean temperature) is illustrated'for two fibrous materials in Fig. 1. It will be,noted that for each there is an optimum density for lowest conductivity: Typical variation of conductivity with mean temperature is shown in Fig. 2.

Surface Conductance
.
The surface conductance of a wall is the combined heat, transfer to or . from the wall by radiation, convection and conduction. Each of the
three portions making up the total may vary independently of the others, thus affecting the total conductance. The heat transfer by radiation ' ' ' between two surfaces is controlled by the character of the surfaces . (emissivity), the temperature difference between them, and the solid . angle through which they see each other. The heat transfer by convection . and conduction is controlled by the roughness of the surface, by . air movement and temperature difference between the air and the surface.
` The importance of .the effect of temperature of surrounding surfaces .'
on the surface conductance due to the effect on radiation is illustrated in
Heat Transmission Coefficients of Building Materials
121
Table 3, which applies to a vertical surface at 80 F, with ambient air at 70 F and effective emissivity equal to 0.83 *.
In many cases, because the heat resistance of the internal parts of the wall is high compared with the surface resistance, the surface factors are of minor importance. In other cases, e.g. single glass windows, the surface resistances constitute almost the entire resistance and are there fore very important. In a building heated by convection there is only a slight difference between the temperatures of the interior wall surface and the surroundings, but if the building is heated by radiant panels there may be a considerable difference 4. (See also Chapter 31.)
The convection part of the surface conductance coefficient-is affected markedly by air movement. This is illustrated by Fig. 3, which shows the surface conductances for different materials at a mean temperature of 20 F and for wind velocities up to 40 mph. These include the radiation portion of the coefficient, which for ordinary building materials under these conditions would be constant at about 0.7 Btu.

Due to these variations for different conditions the selection of surface
conductance coefficients for a practical building becomes a matter of .
judgment. In calculating the over-all heat transmission coefficients for
the walls, etc. of Tables 5 to 18, 1.65 hag been selected as an average
inside surface conductance and 6.0 as an average outside surface-conductance
for a 15-mile wind. These values apply only to ordinary building ma
terials and should not be used for bright metal surfaces having a low
emissivity.
'
.
In special cases, where surface conductance coefficients become important factors in the over-all rates of heat transfer, more selective coefficients may be required. The surface conductance values given in Table 1, Section A are based on recent tests and are for still air conditions and surface emissivities of 0.83 and 0.05 respectively, and may be used where it is desirable to differentiate between horizontal and vertical surfaces or where coefficients applicable to low-emissivity surfaces are required.
.
Air Space Conductance
.
.'
The transfer of heat across an air space involves the boundary surfaces
aswell as the intervening air, consequently the factors influencing surface
conductance play an important part in determining the conductance of
the air space. The coefficients given for air space conductance represent
the total conductance from surface to surface.
-
The radiation portion of the coefficient is affected by the difference . in temperature between the boundary surfaces and by their respective
. '.

emissivities aiid is practically independent of depth. The convection and .
conduction transfer is controlled by depth arid shape of the air space, .
the roughness of the boundary surfaces, the mean temperature and the
direction of heat flow. For air spaces usually employed in building
construction, the radiation and convection factors vary independently
of each other. ` .
1
.
Table 1, Section B gives experimentally-determined conductances of vertical air spaces bounded by such materials as paper, wood, plaster, etc., having emissivity coefficients of 0.8 or higher, and haying extended parallel surfaces perpendicular to the direction of heat flow.- The con ductances decrease as the depth is increased, but change only slightly

. -Since, in buildings, the same constructions may be'used for conditions . where the direction of heat flow may be in one direction or its opposite',
and since.much of the construction involves vertical air spaces, an average ' value of 1.10 Btu per (hour) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree temperature
- . difference) was-chosen. for use in calculating .the over-all coefficients in Tables 5 to 18 wherever air spaces % in. or more in depth were iriVolved.

123
If one or both boundary surfaces of. an air space are faced with metals which have low emissivity surfaces, the radiant heat transfer will be .
greatly reduced in comparison with that occurring from surfaces of ordinary building materials. Table 1, Section C gives conductances
and resistances of air spaces bounded by one reflective surface with an emissivity of 0.05. These values include heat transferred both by radi ation and convection, but the' radiation component is relatively small
for the test conditions.
,
When reflective materials are installed with single or multiple air spaces, the position (vertical, horizontal or inclined) of the material and . the direction of heat flow must be taken into consideration. For example,
the resistance to upward heat flow is about one-third the resistance to downward heat flow in a horizontal position-.(Table 1, Section G). The-
difference between the conductance through vertical air spaces and that, through horizontal and sloping air spaces with upward heat flow is considerably less. For upward heat flow it is recommended that a value - of 0.46 be used for the conductance of horizontal or sloping air spaces
bounded on one side by reflective materials having an emissivity of
approximately 0.05. The same conductance value is also recommended.
for similar vertical air spaces.
, .,
When considering heat transfer to and from reflective surfaces in building construction, the emissivity should be known. This can be
determined directly for the long wave length radiation corresponding
to average room and'wall temperatures. The possibility of change in
emissivity with time of exposure due to surface coatings, chemical
action, deposition of dust, etc. must be considered in selecting a material.
for use s.

PRACTICAL COEFFICIENTS AND THEIR USE
For practical purposes it is necessary to have average coefficients
that may be applied to various materials and types of construction with
out the necessity of making actual tests. In Table 2 coefficients are given
for a group of materials which have been selected from tests by various
authorities. Since there is some variation in the resulting values due
to variations in materials and in test conditions; average values for the
usual conditions encountered in building practice have been selected and '
listed in Table 4. These coefficients were used in the calculation of over
all coefficients given in.Tables 5 to 18. These tables constitute typical
examples of combinations frequently used, but any special Constructions
not given can be computed by the use of the conductivity values in Table
4 and the fundamental heat transfer formulae.
-
Caution
'
The user should realize that the average.conductivity and conductance
values given in Tables 2 or 4 do not necessarily apply to all products of
the same gerieral description. In using these values judgment should
be. exercised with regard to the extent to which the product (either as
received or as applied) will comply with the tabulated values. Exact
conductivities or conductances for specific materials should be obtained
from the manufacturer.

transmission JJ\ of the insulated construction may be compared with the corresponding coefficient U without insulation. Attention is called to the necessity of applying the insulating material in accordance with the manufacturer's specification. The engineer must carefully evaluate . the economic considerations involved in the selection of an insulating material as adapted to various building constructions. Lack of proper evaluation, or improper installation may lead to unsatisfactory results.
Computed Heat Transmission Coefficients
- Computed over-all heat transmission coefficients of many common types of building construction are-given in Tables 5 to 18, inclusive, each coefficient being identified by a serial number except in Table 18. For example, the coefficient V of a brick-veneer, frame wall with wood sheathing and Y2 in. of. plaster on gypsum lath is 0.27, (Wall No. 28-C in Table 5) and with 2 in. of blanket or bat insulation .the coefficient would be 0.097 (No. 49-B in Table 6).
. Example /. Calculate/the coefficient of heat transmission U of a brick-veneer,
frame wall with wood sheathing, building paper, arid 34 in. plaster on % in. gypsum
lath,_ based .on a wind exposure of 15 mph. Also calculate the coefficient when 2 in. of
bat insulation is added, leaving an" air space in the wall, and correcting for framing
amounting to 15 per cent of the. wall area.
Solution: Starting from the exterior, the resistances making." up the total heat
resistance are (1) exterior surface," (2) brick-veneer, (3) wood sheathing
in. thick
and building paper,- (4) air space 3% in.- wide, (5) % in. gypsum lath and plaster, (6)
interior surface. Then using the values from Table 4 in Equation 4: .

This coefficient (0.090) applies only to the wall where no studding or framing is present and is assumed to constitute 85 per cent of the whole wall. Then for 1 sq ft of wall the heat transfer through the insulated portion is 0.85 X 0.090 or 0.0765 Btu.
In the portion of wall where framing is present, the air space'will be replaced with an
equivalent thickness of wood framing. Then,

.
Then for 1 sq' ft of wall the heat transfer through the framing is 15 per cent of 0.136
or 0.0204 Btu. The total heat transfer through 1 sq ft of wall (with 3% in. framing.
_ covering -15 per cent of area) equals
,
' V (corrected) = 0.0765 + 0.0204 = 0.097 Btu
.
This is the value shown for No. 49-B in Table 6, which is1 included to eliminate the
need for the calculation of framing corrections when insulation is used in frame con
struction.
-
In making the calculations for values of U shown in Tables 5 to 18,
the following conditions have been assumed:
'
' Equilibrium or steady-state heat transfer, eliminating, effects of heat capacity. .
Surrounding surfaces at ambient air temperatures.
-
Exterior wind velocity-of 15 mph.

Surface emissivity of ordinary building materials = 0.83.

Coefficients for frame construction are corrected for the effect of

It should be noted that the effects of poor workmanship in construction and installation have an increasingly greater percentage effect on heat transmission as the coefficient becomes numerically smaller. ' Failure to meet design estimates may be caused by lack of proper attention to

Until more complete data are available, it is recommended that a coefficient of 0.10 be used for all '
types of concrete floors on the ground, with or without insulation. For basement wall below grade, use the
same average coefficient (0.10). A lower ground temperature should, however, be used for walls than'
floors as explained in Chapter 14. For further data see A.S.H.V.E. Research Report No. 1213--Heat

Values of UT and '/ should'be calculated using a , value of 2.2 (the

conductances of surfaces facing the attic, since the attic js equivalent
to an air space.

Basement Floor, Basement Wall and Concrete Slab Floor Coefficients::
The heat transfer through basement walls and floors to the ground is;
dependent on the temperature difference between the air within and that
of the ground, on the material constituting the wall or floor, and on the conductivity of the surrounding earth. The conductivity of the . earth will vary with local conditions and is usually unknown. Tests 8 at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory indicate a heat flow of approximately 2.0 Btu per (hour) (square foot) through an uninsulated concrete base ment floor with a. temperature difference of 20 F between ground tem perature and the air temperature 6 in. above the floor. Based on this result,'a coefficient of 0.10 Btu per (hour) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree'temperature difference),is recommended for calculation where it' is desirable to allow for the small basement floor heat loss, e.g. for Heated"
basements. "
,
For basement walls the same coefficient may be used, but due to closer proximity to the surface of the ground, the temperature difference for winter design conditions will be greater than for' the floor. The test
results indicate a unit area heat loss, at, mid-height of the basement wall, approximately twice that of the same floor area. , '
For concrete slab floors laid in contact with the ground at grade level,
recent tests "indicate that for small .floor areas (equal to that of a house 25 ft square) the heat loss may be calculated as proportional to the length of exposed edge rather than total area. This amounts to 0.81 Btu-per
(hour) (lineal foot of exposed edge) (Fahrenheit degree difference between the inside air temperature and the average outside air tempera ture). It should be noted that this may be appreciably reduced by insu- lating the edges of the floor from the abutting wall.
CONDENSATION IN BUILDINGS
Water vapor in the. air within a building condenses if it comes in
contact with surfaces at or below its dew-point temperature. It also will be transmitted into or through a wall, floor or ceiling; if a vapor pressure,
difference exists between the opposite sides, at a rate determined by the permeability of the materials encountered.10 (see Table 14 Chapter 15).
Building practice must take account of these facts in avoiding (1) surface , condensation on interior building surfaces (walls, ceilings, roofs or glass) and (2) interstitial condensation or accumulation of condensation in-the
voids within the structure. The conditions under which surface con densation will take place are directly dependent on surface temperature and upon the relative humidity of the air in contact. Limiting maximum
relative humidities for walls, roofs or glass having transmission coefficients'
up to 1.2 Btu for outside temperatures from --30 F .to 40 F and for 70 F
inside temperature may be obtained from Fig. 4 ".
.
Surface condensation may be controlled by. air conditioning, ventila
tion for the purpose of removing water vapor, particularly from laundries
140
CHAPTER 6
1946 Guide
and from kitchens during lengthy periods of cooking, elimination of
.sources of vapor such as urivented gas stoves, or by local application of
heat or insulation to raise surface temperatures.
-.
. . Interstitial condensation results from vapor transmission which is dependent on vapor pressure differential and the ratio of the rate at which vapor may enter the materials of the structure to that at which it passes out of the structure. The proper installation of a vapor barrier on the warm side of the structure, where the higher vapor pressure
' usually exists, will reduce greatly the amount of vapor entering the building construction and will minimize the possibility of objectionable condensation. Such a barrier may consist of a coated paper applied
Fig. 4. Permissible Relative Humidities for Various Transmission Coefficients
under the plaster, a coated plaster base, or a.vaporTresistant finish applied to the interior wall surface 12. A vapor barrier is tentatively defined as a material having a water vapor permeability .no exceeding 1.25 grains per (hour) (square foot) (inch, of Hg vapor pressure differential).
To prevent condensation on the under side of roofs above attic spaces over insulated ceilings, ventilation with outside air may be provided through suitable louvers or other roof ventilators. :

THE coils' described in this chapter are for heating or cooling ah air stream under forced convection. Surface coil equipment may be made up of a number of banks assembled in the field, or the entire as-, sembly may be factory constructed. The applications of each type of coil are limited to the field within which it is rated. Other limitations are imposed by code regulations, by proper choice of materials for the fluids used and the condition of the air handled, or by an economic analysis of the possible alternates on each installation.
For heating service, coils are used as preheaters, reheaters or booster
. heaters. ' The function of the coils is air heating only, but the apparatus
. assembly may include means for humidification and air cleaning. Steam
or hot water are the usual heating media, although others are used in
. special cases, such as reheating by means of discharge gas from a refriger-
.. ating system. _
.
Coils are used for air cooling with or without accompanying dehumidi
fication. Examples of cooling applications without dehumidification are
precooling coils using well water or other relatively high temperature
water to reduce the load on the refrigerating machinery, or water cooled
. coils to remove sensible heat in connection with chemical moisture-
absorption apparatus. By proper coil selection it is1 possible to handle
both sensible cooling and'dehumidification together as explained later.
' The assembly usually includes an air cleaning means to protect the coil
. from accumulation of dirt and to keep dust and foreign matter out of the
conditioned space. Although cooling and dehumidification are the usual
functions; there are cases of cooling coils purposely wetted to aid in air
- cleaning and odor absorption.
'
The usual cooling media used in surface coils are cold water or Group I (ASA Classification) refrigerants, but others are used in special cases. Brines are seldom required for the range of applications covered by this chapter, although there, are cases where low entering air temperatures . with large latent heat loads require'a refrigerant temperature so low that . water becomes impractical. Sometimes, also, brine from an industrial system already installed is the only convenient source of refrigeration. ,
For combined cooling and dehumidifying, surface coils present an alter nate, to spray dehumidifiers. , For many applications it is possible, by proper selection of apparatus, choice' of air velocities, refrigerant tem peratures, etc., to perform the same duty with either. In a few-cases both sprays and coils are used. The coils may then be installed within the spray chamber, either in series with the sprays or below them. In making the selection between spray and-surface dehumidifiers, certain . advantages of each should be considered. The fact that a spray dehumi difier is usually designed to deliver nearly saturated air tends to simplify, the control problem. In this case the dry-bulb temperature is-also the , dew-point, and hence a dew-point, control can be arranged by using a

simple duct thermostat. Spray dehumidifiers have an advantage over unwetted coils of a certain degree of air cleaning and odor absorption. On the other hand, coils make possible a closed and balanced cooling water circuit, obviating the unbalanced pumping head, the complication of water level control, and danger from possible floods incidental to multiple spray dehumidifiers, especially if located on different levels. The use of coils often makes it possible for the same surface to serve for summer cooling and winter heating by circulating cold water in the one season and hot water in the other, with consequent saving in apparatus and ~ piping. Another advantage is that where the surface coil system can be used with direct expansion of refrigerant, it is comparatively low in initial and operating costs. The safety of the occupant must be kept in mind in comfort conditioning applications. Some localities have refrigeration codes which restrict the use of direct-expansion coils in the air stream, and hence local codes should be consulted by the engineer before a system employing direct expansion methods is designed. The choice between spray dehumidifiers and coils depends upon the necessities and the economic aspects of each case and no general rule can be given. There are many installations in which either may be used.
COIL CONSTRUCTION AND ARRANGEMENT
Coils are basically of-two types, those consisting of plain tubes or pipe and those having extended surfaces. The former are little used for the applications covered by this chapter, but are often employed where condi tions cause frost accumulation, and for cooling within spray dehumidifiers.
The heat , transmission from air passing over a tube to a fluid flowing
. within it is impeded by three resistances. The first resistance is from the
, air to the surface of the tube, usually called the outside surface resistance
or air-film resistance. Second is the resistance to the flow of heat by
' conduction through the metal itself. Finally there is another surface or
film resistance to the flow of heat between the inside surface of the metal
and the fluid in the tube. For the applications under consideration both
. ' the resistance of the metal wall to heat conduction, and the inside surface
' or film resistance are usually low as compared with the air-side surface
resistance. Economy in space, weight and cost makes it advantageous to
decrease the external surface resistance, where it is proportionately large,
to approach that of the tube wall, and that from tube to refrigerant.
This may be accomplished by increasing the external surface by means of
fins. Sometimes water spray is applied to the same type surface as would
have been used without it. The over-all heat transfer is not necessarily
increased much by such an arrangement, but the water spray may serve
other purposes than to increase the flow of heat, such as air and coil
cleaning. .
.. -
In fin or extended surface coils the external surface of the tubes is known as primary and the fin surface is called secondary. The primary surface consists generally of round tubes or pipes. In some cases these are staggered and in others in line with respect to the air flow. The' staggered arrangement gives a somewhat higher heat transfer value but also a higher resistance to air flow and in some cases makes the header and return bend arrangement more complicated, i Numerous types of fin arrangement are used, the most common of which.are spiral, flat and flat-crinkled or corrugated, all as shown in Fig. 1. While the spiral fin surrounds each tube individually in all cases, the flat types may be con-

tinuous'(including several rows of tubes), or they may be round or square, with individual fins for each tube. All. of these, as well as other less common types, are in use, the selection for a particular installation being based on economic considerations, space requirements and resistances of individual designs of coils. A most important factor in the performance of extended surface coils is the bond between the fin and the tube. An intimate contact is assured in a number of ways. The assembled coil may be coated with tin, zinc, etc., after fabrication. The spiral type fin may be knurled into a shallow, groove on the exterior of the tube. The tube ' may be expanded after the fins are assembled, or the tube hole flanges of a flat or corrugated fin may be made to override those in the preceding fin and so compress them upon the tube. There are also types, of con struction where the fin is formed out of the material of the tube itself. .
For heatinglcoils the materials most generally used are copper, steel and aluminum. Sometimes aluminum or brass fins are used on copper tubes. Some types of heating coils are made of east-iron. For equal performance brass and aluminum fins must be of greater thickness than copper fins on account of their lower thermal conductivities. Copper coils are

frequently tin-dipped and steel coils galvanized to protect them from corrosion and to assure a bond between fin and tube. :
Cooling coils for water or for volatile refrigerants most frequently have
copper fins and tubes, although aluminum fins on copper tubes are also
used. For brines such as sodium or calcium chloride,and for ammonia,
steel fins and tubes are common.
, -.
Although there are many variations for special cases, tube and fin sizes and spacings for air conditioning coils, both heating and cooling, fall within fairly narrow limits. The tubes are usually J/, j/g, or in. OD, and the fins spaced from 4 to 8 per inch, 7. per inch being a common design. The tube spacing generally varies from about l]/g to 2 in. on centers. Small tube size and close fin spacing give large capacity with small space demand, but the resistance, both over the surface and through the tubes, is higher than with larger tubes and more-widely spaced fins. Moreover, too close a fin spacing may. result in trouble from dirt accumu lation, especially on dehumidifying coils, and may also cause trouble from water held between the fins, particularly with air flow vertically, . upward. This condition increases the air resistance and decreases the capacity of the coil. Water hold-up sometimes causes flooding trouble in . vertical air flow units by accumulating too much, water for the drain to handle all at once when the fan is stopped. .. .

CHAPTER 7

Steam Coils
. For proper performance of steam heating coils, condensate'and air must be continuously, eliminated and the steam must be evenly distributed to the individual tubes. This distribution is usually accomplished by ' individual orifices in the tubes, by distributing plates and orifices in the steam header, or by perforated internal steam-distributing pipes extend^ ing into the individual tubes. The latter arrangement has the advantage of distributing the steam throughout the length of each tube, and is con ducive to uniform temperature of delivered air. The tendency of conden sate to freeze at the bottom of the coil with cold entering air and light

provision for cleaning of individual tubes is of advantage. It is important
to arrange water coils for complete drainage if located where they will be
exposed to freezing. Fig. 2 shows such construction. The drains may
be provided in the water piping -although they are often arranged in
the coil headers.
- - ' .
Direct-Expansion Coils
.
'.
Coils for volatile refrigerants present more complex problems of fluid distribution than do water, brine or steam. It is desirable that the coil be effectively and uniformly cooled throughout, and necessary that the compressor be protected from entrained, unevaporated refrigerant. There are two types; namely, flooded systems, and thermal expansion valve systems, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. In a flooded coil, the circulation is similar to that in a water tube boiler. The liquid is maintained at the proper level by the action of a float regulator as. shown in Fig. 3. The thermal expansion valve system depends upon the thermal valve auto-
heating loads is also minimized- This is'especially valuable for outside
, air preheaters. Methods of air and condensate elimination are discussed '
in Chapters 23 and 26.
.'
Water Coils
. . '
' .
- The performance of water coils, for heating or cooling, depends on. the elimination of air from the. system and proper distribution of water. Air elimination is taken care of in the system piping as' described in Chapter .24. To assure a pressure drop sufficient for adequate distribution but at ' the same time to provide against excessive pumping head where'large' water quantities are handled, water coils.are provided with various water circuit arrangements. For. instance; a typical coil 18 tubes high and 6 tubes deep in the direction of air flow can be arranged for'6, 9, 18 or 36 parallel water circuits as conditions may require. Orifices in individual, . tubes are occasionally employed^ but- are usually unnecessary as the .. resistance qf individual water circuits, is generally sufficient to effect a; ..satisfactory distribution. ..

matically feeding just as much liquid to the coils as is required to main
tain the superheat at the coil suction outlet within predetermined limits
which vary from about 6 to 10 deg. The thermal valve arrangement is in
common use for the type of coils covered by this chapter, while the
flooded system is comparatively rare.
.
With the flooded system the refrigerant distribution through the tubes
depends on. properly selecting: the length of the feeds and the head of
liquid imposed upon the liquid inlets. No auxiliary distributing devices
are required. With the thermal valve system there are two factors to
consider. There must be, generally, more than one refrigerant feed
through the coil per thermal valve to keep the pressure drop through the
refrigerant circuit within practical limits' and to reduce the corresponding
penalty in increased evaporating temperature. At the same time the
coil'must be so arranged that the required suction superheat -can be
attained with a minimum sacrifice in the performance of the coil as a
whole. It is general practice to attain this superheat within the coil
itself and not . by the use of external heat exchangers or other auxiliary
devices.
., '.
With thermal expansion valves it is advantageous to keep the pressure drop through the refrigerant feeds as low as possible. The feeds are'laid out to expose each to the same mean temperature difference so that it

connections are led as shown. In type C the refrigerant enters at high velocity from the thermal.valve and is discharged against the. end plug in which the individual liquid feeds are closely arranged. These distribu tors can be used in either vertical or horizontal position. Although there ' are other forms of distributors those mentioned are typical examples. The individual liquid connections from the distributor to the coil inlet are ' commonly made of small diameter tubing and are all of the same length t and diameter in order to impose the same friction between the distributor and the coil. Since the thermal valves act in response to the superheat at the coil outlet, this superheat should be produced with the least pos sible sacrifice of active evaporating surface. Sometimes a single thermal valve is used per coil. In other cases multiple valves are used, with the' coil divided across the air flow or parallel to the air flow as shown in Fig. 6.

handles the same refrigerating load. A distributing means is imposed between valve and coil liquid inlets to divide' the refrigerant equally among the feeds. Such a distributor must be effective for distributing both liquid and vapor, because the entering refrigerant is a mixture of the two. Fig. 5 shows three typical types of distributors. In distributor A the liquid and gas mixture from the thermal valve is led tangentially into a chamber. The coil feed connections extend outward radially at the top of.this chamber. Iri distributor B the refrigerant is discharged at a high velocity through a central jet against the end . plate, forming a uniform mixture of gas and liquid within the distributor, from which individual

Flow Arrangement
The relative direction of flow of the air outside the- tubes and the' medium within them influence the performance of the surface. "There ' . are three types of relative flow in common use.'. Fig. 8A shows parallelflow in which the air and the medium in the tube's`proceed through the' coil in the same direction. Fig. 8B shows counter-flow in which the medium in the tubes proceeds in a direction opposite to the flow of aif.;' ' Fig. 8C shows cross-flow in which the air and the medium in the tubes pass at right angles to each other. The counter-flow arrangement is almost universally used in brine or water coils to take advantage of the highest possible mean temperature difference for.given entering water ' and air temperatures. It is also commonly used in coils fed with volatile' refrigerant to take advantage of the. higher air temperature for super- , heating the leaving gas. In deep.coils, however, it is sometimes advan tageous to use parallel flow from second-row to last row and then tocomplete the circuit by passing through the first row to take advantage of the higher air temperature for superheating. : Complete evaporation . and superheating of the refrigerant are essential to proper operation of the thermal expansion valve. Cross-flow is common in steam heating y

coils, the temperature within the tubes being substantially uniform,and the mean temperature difference the same whatever the direction'of flow, relative to the air. Cross-flow is to be avoided in coils-with volatile refrigerants-on account of unequal loading of parallel-circuits and the danger of short, circuiting of liquid refrigerant which disturbs proper functioning'of the thermal expansion valve.
Applications

Heating coils in field assembled banks are. used for a . number of pur . poses as described in Chapter 43. They may be arranged with the air , flow vertical or horizontal, although the latter is more common. For
steam heating, the coils may be set with the tubes vertical or horizontal. In .the latter case the coil should.be sloped to provide for condensate

Access doors should be provided for servicing filters, humidifying nozzles; and fan bearings andfor.cleaning the coils. With certain designs of coils when used for dehumidifying,-eliminators must be used beyond the coil to catch any water which may be blown into the air stream. It is customary to include these eliminators when the air velocity exceeds about 450 fpm with the individual fins and about 600 fpm for the continuous flat fin type. Where a number of coil sections are stacked one upon another, and where the velocities are low, so that eliminators need not be used,-occasional trouble results when water splashes down from one coil to the next and blows out into the air stream. In such cases drip troughs as shown in Fig. 19 are used to collect this
' water and conduct it to the condensate pan.

Sometimes finned surface coils on summer cooling and dehumidifying

sity for avoiding air and water pockets, water heating coils are generally arranged with the tubes horizontal. Certain precautions must' be taken against freezing. Where steam coils are used with entering air below freezing temperature, throttling the steam supply may result in freezing the condensate in the bottom of the coil if the tubes are of the variety not provided with internal distributing pipes, or an equivalent arrangement. If these are used, there is little danger of freezing the condensate as long as the leaving, air. temperature is not allowed to fall below about 40 F.. As an added precaution with both steam and water coils the outside air inlet dampers are often closed automatically when the. fan is stopped to avoid trouble caused by very cold outside air drifting in during off periods.
, A typical arrangement of cooling coils is shown in Fig. 9: Some means . should be:provided, to filter all. the entering air to keep dirt, and foreign. ' matter from accumulating on the coils. The assembly is provided with a; ' . drip-pan to catch the condensate during summer, dehumidifying duty and '. to collect the non-eyaporated water from the humidifying sprays in : winter.. The drip connection should:be made ample in size and liberally, provided with plugged tees and crosses for cleaning. It.should:not.be- '

duty are provided with water sprays. These' sprays, are of two types.In the first type a set of spray nozzles is arranged for intermittent cleaning. These sprays are not operative when the system is in use and no recircu lating pump, is provided.- The second arrangement requires a collecting tank and a recirculating, pump. The water is in circulation whenever the apparatus is in operation, and assists in keeping the coil clean and in absorbing odors. -Fig. 11, illustrates such an arrangement.-. Wherever air by-passes are used around a coil on summer duty for. control purposes, it is advantageous to direct only return air through the by-pass.rather than a mixture of return and outside air. The casing should be arranged accordingly. To maintain the air quantity handled by the fan reasonably constant, and to assure the required design quantity of by-passed air. when the by-pass damper is open, cooling coil banks are frequently. . furnished with both face-and- by-pass dampers as shown in Fig. 9.
Although both heating and cooling coils are made of sufficient strength
to take up expansion and- contraction arising within themselves, care
should be taken to avoid imposing strains from the piping on to the coil;
connections. (See Chapter 23.)

HEAT TRANSFER AND AIR FLOW RESISTANCE
: The transfer of heat between the heating or cooling medium and the
air stream is influenced by several variables:
.
1. The temperature difference. 2. The design and surface arrangement of the coil. 3. The velocity and character of the air stream. 4. The velocity and character of the medium in the tubes.
'
The driving force is usually taken as the logarithmic mean temperature, difference for heating or cooling without dehumidification. For combined cooling and dehumidification, the logarithmic difference does not apply strictly and such problems should be handled as described later. With volatile refrigerants there is often an appreciable pressure drop and corresponding change in evaporating temperature through the refrigerant circuit. The problem is further complicated by the fact that the refriger ant is evaporating in part of the circuit and superheating in the remain der. In spite of this, heat transfer and ratings for coils using volatile refrigerants are usually based on a refrigerant temperature corresponding to the average pressure in the coil.
The design and surface arrangement of the coil includes such items as' materials, type, thickness, height and spacing of the fins, and the ratio of this surface to that of the tube, the use of the staggered or in-line tube arrangement, and provisions to increase the air turbulence such as the use of corrugated as against flat fins. Staggered tubes increase the total' heat transfer as against the in-line arrangement and corrugated fins may be more effective than flat. It is this design and surface arrangement that determines the air film heat transfer resistance.
, The velocity of the air usually considered is the coil face velocity. , This bears a varied relation to the actual velocity over the surface, depending upon the individual coil design. As long as a fixed design of coil is under consideration face velocities may be used, but they may be unsatisfactory in comparing different designs, as, it is the actual surface velocity that is significant: :The air volume is often based on standard air at 70 F.and. a barometric pressure of 29.92 in. Hg. The use of air volume in coil rating information may be misleading. The significant value is mass velocity in pounds per (minute) {square foot offace area) and not cubic feet per minute, because for a fixed volume the corresponding weight may vary widely, depending upon the temperature and barometric pressure.
At the same mass air velocity, varying performance can be obtained
depending upon the turbulence of the air flow into the coil and upon the
uniformity of distribution of air over the coil face. The latter is very im
portant in obtaining reliable test ratings and in realizing rated perform
ance in practical installations. The resistance through the coils will assist
in distributing the air properly,'but where the inlet duct connections are'
brought in at sharp angles to the coil face, the effect is frequently bad
and there may even be reverse air currents through the coils. This
reduces the capacity, but can be avoided by proper layout or by the use
of, directing baffles.
,
Heat transfer depends also, upon the velocity of the medium in the tubes and upon its character, whether flowing water, condensing steam or'
evaporating volatile refrigerant. Heat transfer rates expressed as Btuper' (square, foot of internal surface) (degree logarithmic mean, effective temperature difference between the fluid and tube wall) are, for example:.
Heat Transfer Surface Coils
153
' about 150 to 300 for evaporating dichlorodifluoromethane, about 350 to
1200 for water at 2 and 6 fps and about 1200 for condensing steam. The
influence of the medium in the tubes on the over-all heat transfer rate is,
therefore, apparent.
'
Because of these variables, reliable rating and performance information
for any design of coil must be based on actual tests on that coil under the
expected conditions of operation. A comparison between the perfor
mance of two designs, unless based on such tests on each, may lead to
entirely erroneous conclusions.
PERFORMANCE OF HEATING AND DRY COOLING COILS
Heating and dry cooling, coils are heat exchangers and as such their
performance depends in general upon:
.
1. The over-all coefficient of heat transfer from the fluid within the coil to the air it
heats or cools.
.
2. The mean temperature difference between the fluid within the coil and the air
flowing over the coil.
-
3. The physical dimensions of the coil.
.
Thus, for any one definite operating condition, the heating or cooling capacity of a given coil is expressed by the following basic formula:
,.
9t =V X {MTD) X A X N
(1)
where
~'
..
qt = total heat transferred by the coil, Btu per (hour) (square foot of coil face area).
- U = over-all coefficient of heat transfer, Btu per (hour) (square foot of external coil surface) (Fahrenheit degree temperature difference between the fluid within the coil and the air flowing over the coil).
UTD -- mean temperature difference, Fahrenheit degrees between the fluid within the coil and the air passing over it. (This is commonly taken as the loga rithmic mean temperature difference.)
A = external surface area of the given coil, square feet per square foot of coil ' face area, per row of coil depth.
N -- number of rows of coil depth.
Over-all Coefficient of Heat Transfer
.
-
Of all factors affecting the performance of heating or dry cooling coils,'
the over-all coefficient of heat transfer is the most difficult to determine
as it is influenced by. several factors which depend upon coil design, and
conditions of operation. .
.'
Considering any coil, whether of bare pipe or of finned type, the over-all
heat transfer coefficient- for a given size and design of coil can always be
considered as a combined effect of three individual heat transfer coef-
' ficients, namely:
1. The film coefficient of heat transfer- between air and the external surface of the
coil, usually given in Btu per (horn) (square foot external surface) (Fahrenheit degree,
mean temperature difference).
. . .,
2. The coefficient of heat transfer through the coil material--tube wall, fins, ribs, etc.
3. The film coefficient of heat transfer between the internal surface of the coil and'
the fluid flowing within the coil, usually given in Btu per (hour) (square foot internal
surface) (Fahrenheit degree-mean temperature difference).

These three individual coefficients acting in scries result in an over-all coefficient of heat transfer in accordance with the basic laws. For a harepipe coil the over-all coefficient of heat transfer, whether for heating or for

Frequently, when pipe or tube walls are thin and of material having high conductivity
(as is the case in construction of typical heating and cooling coils) the term L/k in Equa
tion 2 becomes negligible and is generally disregarded. (The effect of the term L/k in,
typical bare pipe heating or cooling coils seldom exceeds 1 to 2 per cent of the over-all
coeffident). Thus, in its simplest form, for bare pipe:

.
The term R, in this case, is the ratio of total, external surface to internal surface. For typical designs of finned coils for heating or cooling, this ratio varies from 10 to 30. Term R is again introduced to place'the internal surface coefficient of heat transfer on a basis of external surface. In the .discussions which follow, coefficients hT and will be considered separately, and also various ways of combining them will be outlined.
The performances of all heating and dry cooling coils are influenced by the same factors. But, when cooling coils operate wet or act as dehumidifying coils, the performance cannot be predicted on the basis of over-all coefficients and an analysis must be made on the basis of individual film coefficients.as will be explained.
PERFORMANCE OF DEHUMIDIFYING COILS
- .When a'cooling coil operates with a surface temperature which is' below the dew-point of the air entering the coil, moisture is condensed .and the air leaves the coil with a humidity ratio lower, than it had when
; ' Heat Transfer Surface Coils
it entered the.coil: To understand the performance of surface coils under such conditions, assume that air/ enters a cooling coil at conditions corresponding to point 1 in Fig: 12. As long as-the surface temperature .of the coil is above'the dew-point; the air is cooled without dehumidifi cation, and its condition leaving the coil will be somewhere on line l-A." Its exact position on this line depends on the air velocity and the external film coefficient as well as upon the surface temperature. When the surface temperature just equals the dew-point, the air leayes with conditions represented by point A. If the surface temperature is below the dew point, condensation takes place, and the air has a final condition some where along the line A-2-3 which is a line at a constant horizontal distance from, the saturation curve. It should be understood that the line l-A-2-3 is not intended to represent the path of the condition of the air'as it ! passes through the coil from row to row. It is simply the path traced

by the exit air conditions as the surface temperature is gradually reduced
with other conditions remaining constantJ.
..
In the process of dehumidification, since heat is being transferred to
the coil surface by two different mechanisms, (convection and cbhden-.
satiori), it is evident that ail over-all coefficient of'heat transfer cannot
be determined by the. same method used for heating, and for dry cooling ,
coils. However, if it is assumed that the sensible "heat transfer 'of a, .
dehumidifying coil is unaffected by the presence of . moisture, on its
surface, Equation 5 may be obtained to express-this part of the heat '
transfer in terms of the external film coefficient and the surface tern-''

j .This.equation may be used to establish a line as A-2-3 for a given coil if Aa is known for the coil, or it may be used to determine.ha from test data for the purpose of rating coils. The use of this equation for coil selection is illustrated in Example 1 at the end of the chapter. Equation 7 is also important as a means of determining the external film coefficient.
External Film Coefficient
'
. While formulae'have been developed expressing the film coefficient Aa for air passing parallel to a plane surface, they cannot be used directly: for fins on tubes because of air turbulence and because of the temperature gradient prevalent from the edge of a fin to its center. It is therefore
necessary to make tests to evaluate the combined term fi(Aa. The term,. "hiha, will be written merely Aa in this discussi'on as there is no necessity for separately evaluating -q and because values of Aa are-usually applied .only to the particular.coils for which tests are made.
The air side coefficient, Aa, of a coil of particular dimensions is an
exponential function of the mass velocity of the air:

Z and n = constants which depend upon both air turbulence and surface arrange - ' ment.
Evaluation of constants Z and n may be accomplished through the
use of test data in Equation 7 which gives values of ha directly from the
results of any wet coil test. If ha, calculated in this manner, is plotted
against values of G which prevailed during the tests a straight line should .
result on logarithmic coordinates. The slope of this fine is the value of n.
The value of Z may then be determined by direct substitution in Equa
tion 8.
Internal Film Coefficient
..
The internal film coefficient, Ar which appears in Equation 3, is evalu
ated in various ways, depending upon the nature of the fluid, and whether
the fluid is changing state.
".
When evaporating refrigerants are used in tubes, the temperature
of the fluid is fairly constant, being affected principally by pressure drop '
through the tubes, by superheat of the evaporated refrigerant, and by
the presence of oil in solution. To obtain maximum coil capacity it iS
necessary to keep the pressure drop through the tubes at a minimum
(,/4 lb per square inch), to keep the superheat as low as possible without
carrying liquid back to the compressor, and to arrange for good separation
and return of oil to the compressor. Another important factor is-the
removal of gas to keep the tube surface' flooded with liquid as much as
possible. The internal film coefficient is markedly increased by heavy
heat loads, because. the increased turbulence and gas velocity cause
good contact of the liquid with the tubes. Values of Ar usually lie between
150 and 450. For rating of dehumidifying coils, satisfactory results are
obtainable by first determining the average external surface temperature
from. Equation 7, and then using the difference between, the external film
temperature and the refrigerant for evaluating hr in Equation 9.
where
.-
K <=> internal film coefficient of heat transfer, Btu per (hour) (Square foot of internal tube surface) (Fahrenheit degree),
tr = average refrigerant temperature, Fahrenheit degrees.
.
The term (ts -- tr) is commonly written At. To evaluate' h, by this
method the same tests that were required to determine ha may be used.
When water is the cooling medium in tubes, the rate of heat transfer is a function of its velocity, which influences the number of contacts
of the water molecules with the tube surface, per unit of time. Increased
water velocity and reduced tube diameter cause increased heat transfer.
Heat transfer is also greater at higher temperatures of the water. The
basic formula for the film coefficient of heat transfer for flow of water
is as follows:

COIL SELECTION
In the selection of a coil it is necessary to consider several factors:
1. The duty required--heating, cooling, dehumidifying.
. ..
2. Temperature of entering air--dry-bulb only if there is no dehumidification, dry-
and wet-bulb if moisture is to be removed.

part it'is either impossible or impractical. 'This is due to' the fact that the capacity, of standard refrigeration compressors, is usually fixed and in matching a given cooling coil and a standard.compressor the capacityof the latter is often somewhat smaller or greater than that of the.former. Consequently, the refrigerant temperature resulting within.a cooling coil and correspondingly the capacity- of the coil-compressor combination are very often hot what they were originally.calculated to be.. ..
In order to determine the actual performance of a given coil-compressor combination under varying conditions of operation, a graphical solution. . of. the balance point is highly desirable. A typical procedure for graphical analysis of a coil-compressor combination performance is shown in Fig. 13, which is constructed as follows: .

The duties required may be determined from information in Chapters 6,
8, 14 and 15. There may or may not be a choice of cooling and heating
media, as well as temperatures available, depending upon whether the
installation is new or is in combination with present sources of heating or
cooling. Space limitations are dictated by the requirements of individual
-cases. The air quantity is influenced by a number of considerations. The
air quantity through heating coils is often made the same as that necessary
to handle the summer cooling load. The air handled may be fixed by the
use of old ventilating' ducts as an air distribution system for new air
conditioning apparatus, or may. be dictated by requirements of satisfac
tory air distribution or, ventilation. The resistance through the air
circuit influences the fan horsepower and speed. This resistance may be
limited to allow the use of a given size of fan motor, or to keep the opera
ting' expense low, or it may be limited by the maximum fan peripheral
velocity which requirements of quietness may permit. The friction. .
through the water or brine circuit may be dictated by the head available
from a given size of pump and pump motor. As the fan and pump motor '
inputs represent a refrigerating load on cooling installations, it is eco- ,
nomical to keep them low.
,.
.. .
Proper performance of a surface heating or cooling coil depends upon correct choice of the original equipment and upon certain other factors. The usual coil ratings are based on a uniform face velocity of air. If the' air is brought in at odd angles or if the fan is-located so as to block part .of ' the air flow, the performance as given in the manufacturer's ratings cannot usually be: obtained. To obtain this performance it is necessary ' also that the air quantity be adjusted on the job to that used in deter-': mining the.coil selection, and must also be kept at this value. The most -.

common causes for a reduction of air quantity are the fouling of the filters and collection of dirt in the coils. These difficulties can be avoided by proper design and proper servicing1. There are a number of ways in which coils may be cleaned.' A common method is to wash them off with water. They can sometimes be brushed and cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. In bad cases of neglect, especially on restaurant jobs where grease and dirt have accumulated, it is sometimes necessary to remove the coils and wash off the accumulation with steam, compressed air and water, or hot water. The most satisfactory, solution, however, is to keep the filters serviced,. and thus make the cleaning of the coils unnecessary.
The proper selection of coils requires an understanding of the necessities of each case and should be based on ah economic analysis of the plant design as a whole. No general rule can, therefore, be laid down for the selection of heating or cooling coils. It is possible* however, to point out the limits of usual practice and to indicate the influence of the variables involved in the coil selection.
. Heating Coils
.
' Steam, and hot water heating coils are usually rated within these limits:
Air Face Velocity--200 to 1200 fpm, sometimes up to 1500 fpm.
1 Steam Pressure--2 to 200 lb, sometimes up to 350 lb per square inch.
Hot Water Temperature--150 to 225 F.
.
Water Velocity--2 to 6 fps.
.
- .
Individual cases may deviate widely, but the tabulation given-herewith will serve as a guide to usual heating installation practice:
Air Face Velocity--500 to 800 fpm face, 500 being a common figure. ..
Delivered Air Temperature--varies from about 72 F .for ventilation, only to about
150 F for complete heating.
..
. Steam Pressure--2 to 10 lb, 5 lb being common.
Hot Water Temperature--150 to 225 F. ...
Water Velocity--2 to 6 fps.
.
.Water Quantity--Based on about 20 F temperature drop through a hot-water coil.
Air, Resistance--The total resistance through heating coils is usually limited to from
54s to 54s in. of water gage for public buildings, to about 1 in. for factories.
.
The selection of heating coils is relatively'simple as it involves"dry-bulb
temperatures and sensible heat only, without the complication of simul
taneous latent heat loads, as in cooling coils. For a given ditty, entering
air temperature, and steam pressure, it is possible to select several arrange ments of the same design of coil depending upon the relative importance
of space, cross-sectional area, and air resistance.
.
Cooling Coils
Cooling and dehumidifying coils are usually rated within these limits:
Entering Air Dry-Bulb--60 to 100 F.'
-
Entering Air Wet-Bulb--50 to 80 F.
- , ,
Air Face Velocities--300 to 800 fpm, (sometimes as low as 200 and as high as 1200).
Volatile Refrigerant Temperatures--25 to 55 F, at coil suction outlet.
-.
Water Temperatures--40 to 65 F.
, '
Water Quantities--2 to 6 gpm per ton, dr-equivalent to a water temperature rise of
from 4 to 12 deg. .
.-
Water Velocity--2 to 6 fps.
.
Heat Transfer Surface Coils

The ratio of total to. sensible heat removed varies in practice from 1.00 to about 1.65, i.e., sensible heat is from 60' to 100 per cent of total, depending on the application. (See Chapter .43.) Since required-ratios may demand wide variations in air velocities, refrigerant temperatures, and coil depth, general rules as to their values may be misleading.' On usual comfort installations, air face velocities between 400 and 600 fpm are frequent, 500 being, a common value. Refrigerant temperatures ordinarily vary between 40 and 50 F where cooling is accompanied by dehumidification. Water velocities range from 2 to about 6 fps.
When no dehumidification is desired, for which condition the dew-point
of the entering air is equal to or lower than the cooling coil surface tern-
perature, the coil selection is made on the basis of dry-bulb temperatures
and sensible heat transfer only, the same as with heating coils. It is
possible also to choose various arrangements of face area, depth, air
velocity, etc., for the same duty.

Dehumidifying Coils
The selection of coils for combined cooling and dehumidifying duty is more involved than for heating or sensible cooling and requires con-

sideration of both dry- and wet-bulb air temperatures. It is further
complicated by the fact that the proportional amount of dehumidification
required is also highly variable. The methods outlined previously under
Heat Transfer and Resistance may be used to determine whether it is
possible for a coil to perform the duty required. If entering and leaving
air conditions are arbitrarily specified* the corresponding duty'sometimes .
cannot be obtained at all without the use of reheat. As with heating and
sensible cooling coils, there are combinations of face areas, depth, air
velocity and refrigerant temperatures which will give the required per
formance. This is illustrated in Table 1.
.
It is possible as shown in Table 1 to perform approximately the same duty at a given refrigerant temperature with small face area and large ~ thickness or vice versa. The large face area coil gives low air velocity and resistance but high air quantities per ton. The coil of small face area and 1 great depth requires small air quantities per ton of refrigeration, high resistance and high air velocities: As shown also in Table 1 the same , sensible, latent and total cooling capacity may be obtained with.various refrigerant temperatures by proper choice of coil. This makes it possible . to keep the evaporating, temperature high enough to carry the load with a chosen size of condensing unit. High evaporating temperatures with

correspondingly small compressor operating expense can be attained but - at the expense of coil surface, air quantity or both. The choice will be
determined by the necessities of. individual installations.
' For a given quantity and condition of entering air the evaporating temperature of a volatile refrigerant coil is determined by a balance'' between the condensing unit and the coil. The total, sensible and latent cooling capacity can then be determined from the coil rating information. . If the condensing unit and cooling coil have been properly balanced for the required load and, due to miscalculated duct resistance or improper choice of fan speed,' the air quantity is reduced, the total cooling capacity will also be reduced. The decrease is generally in the sensible capacity. This is the effect also when the air by-pass or volume control is used.
It is necessary that not only the total capacity but also the sensible and latent cooling requirements both be-met. The installation of an excess of coil results in an increase in total capacity, but not a proportional gainin latent heat capacity. On installations controlled from dry-bulb tem-

perature the operating time is shortened because of the added sensible cooling capacity. This results in less moisture pick-up and higher relative humidity than calculated. If an oversize condensing unit is installed, the opposite situation occurs. Generally, this is not a disad vantage except that it results in a load from outside air greater than; calculated, as well as in.increased power consumption: If oversize equip ment is furnished,, a balance should be made to assure that, the ratio of total to sensible capacity is the same as in the estimated load.
.. Sometimes arbitrary air quantities are specified for ventilation' or other
reasons independent of the selection of the cooling coil. As shown in
Table 1, the coil selection can be altered to take care of various air
quantities for the same duty.
.
'
Where coil and condensing unit are selected for the peak load condition,
and the sensible load partially disappears due to fall of outside tempera
' ture or other cause, the condensing unit and coil 'rebalance: This may
result in more sensible and less latent capacity than required at the light - . ,
load condition, with an increased relative humidity in the conditioned .
, space. Such a condition is shown in Table 2. If approximately 40 per
cent of the total air is by-passed, the condition is improved as indicated.
The situation may be entirely avoided by using reheat; where it is possible
to handle any.ratio of sensible and latent loads and maintain the design,
temperature and humidity *.

freezing occurs, when the. coil surface temperature falls , to-32 F. With usual coils for comfort installations, this does not occur unless the evapo rating temperature at the coil outlet is about 20 to 25'F. The exact value depends on the design of the coil and the amount of loading. Although it is not customary to .choose coil and condensing units to balance at low temperatures at peak loads, there is danger of this occurring when the load decreases. This is further aggravated if a: by-pass is used so that less air is passed through the coil at light loads. It may be even worse if the control is arranged for decrease of inside temperature with fall of that outside. Freezing can be avoided by making the full load balance a high evaporating temperature and checking the balance at the minimum load.
Care should be exercised in the design of humidity control to minimize the cycling of the refrigerating compressor because of re-evaporation
of moisture from the fins.. It is sometimes necessary to by-pass air
around a coil when the compressor is not operating.
.
Determining Size of Cooling Coil
'
The procedure for selecting the proper size of coil for cooiing and'for
determining exit air condition, coil surface temperature, total coil load
and refrigerant temperature is illustrated in Example, 1/
.
Example 1. An industrial application requires the cooling of a certain quantity of
air from a condition, of 102 F dry-bulb and 85 F wet-bulb to a final condition of 80.5 F
dry-bulb and 73 F wet-bulb. The air velocity across the coil is to be 400 fpm and coil
data are as follows: 5a = 10.7 at 400 fpm, Ar -- 325, external surface area^ = 15 sq ft
per (square foot of face) (row of coil depth), ratio of external surface area to internal
surface area = 15.
'
Solution. (1) Lay out the problem psychrometry as indicated in Fig. 14 and note
that the minimum horizontal distance'between the load ratio line and the saturation-
curve is 1.8 F dry-bulb at point A Fig. 14.- This means that k -- <dns in Equation" 7
must not be less than 1.8. . Therefore, Equation 7 should be solved for N to'determine
the proper number of rows to be used for the coil.

Therefore, h = (52.3 - 22.1) = 30.2.
Thus a coil 6. rows deep operating at a refrigerant temperature of 30.2 F and a face
velocity of 400 fpm is required and it will carry a total load of 43,200 Btu per (hour)
(square foot of face area). The air conditions leaving the coil are too low for the con
ditions of the problem and therefore it is necessary to by-pass air at the entering condition
to obtain the desired, result of 80.5 F dry-bulb and 73 F wet-bulb.

' Although the preceding solution is satisfactory, it may be more desirable in some cases to use a higher refrigerant temperature-and employ reheat to obtain the desired load ratio. Such a solution is shown in Fig. 15. In this case the coil load ratio line intersects the saturation curve and therefore a coil of any depth may be selected. . `
If a coil depth of 6 rows is maintained, the exit air conditions for the coil are indicated

Causes of Infiltration., Infiltration Due to Wind Pressure, Infiltration Through Walls, Window and Door Leakage, Crack Method, Air Change Method, Infiltration Due to Temperature
Difference, Sealing of Vertical Openings
-
THE air leakage which takes place through various apertures in buildings must be considered in heating and cooling calculations; and properly evaluated. This infiltration as it is sometimes designated takes place through cracks around doors and windows, through solid walls and through fireplaces and chimneys. Although the latter sources of leakage may be considerable, they are often neglected on the assumpr tion that dampers would be closed during periods of extreme cold weather: or else that the fireplace will be in use at such times and will therefore contribute to the heat supplied and lessen the heating load'.
CAUSES OF INFILTRATION
The displacement of heated air in buildings by unheated outside air is due to two causes, namely, (1) the pressure exerted by the wind and (2) the difference in density of outside and inside air because of differences in temperature. The former is generally referred to as infiltration and die latter as stack or chimney effect.
In either case an exact estimate of the amount of infiltration under, design conditions is difficult to make. The complicating factors include (1) variations in building construction particularly as to width of crack or size of openings through which air leakage takes place, (2) the varia tions in wind velocity and direction, (3) the exposure of the building with respect to air leakage openings and with respect to adjoining buildings, (4) the variations in outside temperatures which influence the chimney effect, (5). the relative area and resistance of openings on the windward and leeward sides and on the lower floors and on the upper floors, and (6) the influence of a planned air supply and the related outlet vents. Tight' construction is essential for preventing large heat loss due to infiltration.
INFILTRATION DUE TO WIND PRESSURE
The wind causes a pressure to be exerted on one or two sides of a
building. As a result, air comes into the building on. the windward side through cracks or porous construction, and a similar quantity of air leaves on the leeward side through like openings. In general the resist
tance to air movement is similar on the windward to that on the leeward side. This causes a building up of pressure within the building and a.
lesser air leakage than that experienced in'single wall tests as determined, in the laboratory. It is assumed that actual building leakages owing to this building up of pressure will be 80 per cent of laboratory test values:
While there are cases where this is not true, tests in actual buildings
substantiate the factor for the general case. Mechanical ventilating systems are frequently designed to produce positive or negative pressures
in an enclosure which are greater or lower than-prevalent wind pressures.
In such.designs, if the rate at which air is specified to be introduced to or removed' from the enclosure by positive means exceeds the infiltration
rate, it is common practice to use the greater value in determining the
heating capacity to warm the outside air.

Infiltration Through Walls
.
Data on infiltration through.brick and frame walls are given in Table 1 *. The brick walls listed in this table are walls which show poor workman ship and which are constructed of porous brick and- lime mortar. For good workmanship, the leakage through hard brick walls with cementlime mortar does not exceed one-third the values given. These tests . indicate that plastering reduces the leakage by about 96 per cent; a heavy coat of cold water paint, 50 per cent; and 3 coats of oil paint carefully applied, 28 per cent. The infiltration through walls ranges from 6 to 25 percent of that through windows and doors in a 10-story office building, with imperfect sealing of plaster at the baseboards of the rooms, With perfect sealing the range is from 0.5 to 2.7 per cent or a practically negligible quantity, which indicates the importance of good workmanship in proper sealing at the baseboard. It will be noted from Table. 1, that the infiltration through properly plastered walls can be neglected.'

construction only, without lath and plaster. The effectiveness of plaster
properly applied is no justification for the use of low grade building paper
or of the poor construction of.the wall containing it! Not only is it
difficult to secure and maintain the full effectiveness of, the plaster but
also it is highly desirable to have two points of high resistance to air flow
with an air space between them. The infiltration indicated in Fig. 1 is
that determined in the laboratory and should be multiplied by the factor
0.80 to give proper working values.
, ..
.
Window and Door Leakage
, . . .
There are two methods of estimating air leakage through window and
door cracks, namely; (1) the crack method and (2) the air change method.
The crack method is generally regarded as being more accurate-than the
purely arbitrary'air change method, provided the variables entering into
the crack method, such as crack width and clearance, can be properly-
evaluated.
.
-- ^
Air Leakage
169
Crack Method
The crack method is based on known air leakage factors for various types of windows and widths of crack and clearance. The wind velocity and length of crack are also considered when the crack method is employed. . The amount of infiltration for various types of windows is given in Table 22. The fit of double-hung wood windows is determined by crack and clearance. Crack thickness is equivalent to one-half the difference between the inside window frame dimension and the outside sash width. The difference between the width of the window frame guide and the sash thickness is considered as the clearance. The length of the perimeter opening or crack for a double-hung window is equal to three times the width plus two times the height, or in other words, it is the outer sash perimeter length plus the meeting rail length. Not all the window crack in any given room is necessarily used in estimating the infiltration heat
Fig. X. Infiltration Through Various Types of Shingle Construction
loss by the crack method. The length of crack to be selected in any given case depends on the number of exposed sides as explained in Chapter 14.
Values of leakage shown in Table 2 for the average double-hung wood window were determined by using, on nine windows tested in the labo ratory, the average measured crack and clearance of a large number of windows found in a field survey. In addition, the table gives figures for a poorly fitted window. All of the figures for double-hung wood windows are for the unlocked condition. Just how a window is closed, or fits when it is closed, has considerable influence on the leakage. The leakage will be high if the sash are short, if the meeting rail members are warped, or if the frame and sash are not fitted squarely to each other. It is possible to have a window with approximately the average crack and clearance that will have a leakage at least double that of the figures shown. Values for the average double-hung wood window in Table 2 are considered to be .. easily obtainable figures provided the workmanship on the window is good. Should it be known that the windows under consideration are poorly fitted, the larger leakage values should be used. Locking a window '

. bThe values given for frame leakage are per foot of sash perimeter as determined for double-hung wood
windows.- Some of the frame leakage in masonry walls originates in the brick wall itself and cannot be
prevented by calking. For the additional reason that calking is not done perfectly and deteriorates with
time, it is considered advisable to choose the masonry frame leakage values for calked frames as the average
determined by the calked and non-calked tests.

generally decreases its leakage,, but in some cases may push the meeting,
rail members apart and increase, the leakage. On windows with large
clearances, locking will usually reduce the leakage.
'.
Wood casement windows may be assumed to have the same unit leakage as for the average double-hung wood window when properly fitted. Locking, a normal operation in the closing of this type of window, maintains the crack at a low value.
For metal pivoted sash, the length of crack is the total perimeter of the movable or ventilating sections. Frame leakage on steel windows may be neglected when they are properly grouted with cement mortar into brick work or concrete. When they are not properly sealed, the linear feet of sash section in contact with steel work at mullions should be figured at 25 per cent of the values for industrial pivoted windows as given in
Table 2.
.. . .
,
When storm sash are applied to well fitted windows, very' little re duction in infiltration is secured, but the application of the sash does give an air space which reduces the heat transmission and helps prevent the. frosting of the windows3. By applying storm sash to poorly fitted windows, a reduction in leakage of 50 per cent may be obtained, the effect so far as air leakage is concerned being roughly equivalent to that obtained by the installation of weatherstrips. .
Door Leakage
. '
.
Doors vary greatly in fit because of their large size and tendency to
warp. For a well fitted door, the leakage values for a poorly fitted double-
hung wood window may be used. If poorly fitted, twice this figure should
be used. If weatherstripped, the values may be reduced one-half. A
single door which is frequently opened, such as might be found in a store,
should have a value applied which is three times that for a well fitted
door. This extra allowance is for opening and closing losses and is kept
from being greater, by the fact that doors are not used ;as much in the
coldest and windiest weather.
,
.. `
The infiltration rate through swinging and revolving doors is generally a matter of judgment by the engineer making cooling load determinations and in the absence of adequate research data the values given in Table 3 represent current engineering practice4. These values are based on the average number of persons in a room at a specified time, which may alsol

be the same occupancy assumed for determining the outside ventilation requirements outlined in Chapters 12 and 15.
Air Change Method .
The amount of air leakage is sometimes roughly estimated by assuming a certain number of air changes per hour for each room, the number of changes assumed being dependent upon the type, use and location of the room, as indicated in Table 4. This method may be used to advantage as a check on the calculations made in the more exact manner. On the other hand, where it is not possible' to determine or pre-determine with accuracy the width of crack or clearance of windows, or where other sources of air leakage cannot readily be evaluated, as is often the case, the use of the air change method may be justified.
The values in Table 4 may be used with reasonable accuracy for resi dences and are the requirements for each room. The total infiltration allowance for the entire building should be one-half the sum of the infiltration allowances of the individual rooms, since whatever air enters on the windward side generally leaves the building on the leeward side and the infiltration'requirements therefore do not exist simultaneously on all sides or in all rooms. An allowance of one air change per hour for all sources of air leakage for the entire volume may be considered average for a well constructed residence.
The air leakage for vestibules due to opening and closing of doors is
sometimes based on the air change method, even though the air leakage
estimates for other rooms are based on the crack method. Except for
vestibules and reception halls, it is not advisable to attempt to apply the
air change method to factories and industrial and commercial buildings
because of wide variations in the type and percentage of fenestration
which is the principal source of air leakage in such buildings.
.
INFILTRATION DUE TO TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE
The air exchange due to temperature difference, inside to outside, is a chimney effect, causing air to enter through openings at lower levels and to leave at higher levels 5. Although it is not appreciable in low buildings, this loss should be considered in tall, single story buildings with openings near the ground level and near the ceiling. Also in tall, multi-story buildings it may be a considerable item unless the sealing between various floors and rooms is quite perfect.
In tall buildings, temperature difference or chimney effect will produce a head that will add to the effect of the wind at lower levels and subtract from it at higher levels. On the other hand, the wind velocity at lower

levels may be somewhat abated by surrounding obstructions, Further
more, the chimney effect is reduced in multi-story buildings by the partial
isolation of floors, the'reby preventing free upward movement, so that
wind and temperature difference may seldom cooperate to the fullest
extent. Making the rough assumption that the neutral zone8 is located at
mid-height of a building, and that the temperature difference is 70 F,
Equations 1 and 2 may be used to determine an equivalent wind velocity
to be used in connection with Tables 1 and 2 that will allow for both wind
velocity and temperature difference:
.
Ve = VV5 - 1.75o
(1)
where
Ke =. VV5 + 1.75 b
. (2)
Ve = equivalent wind velocity to be used in conjunction with Tables 1 and 2.
V = wind velocity upon which infiltration would be determined if tern*
perature difference were disregarded.
. ..
a -- distance of windows under consideration from mid-height of building if above mid-height, feet.
b = distance if below mid-height, feet.
,
The coefficient 1.75 allows for about one-half the temperature difference head.
For buildings of unusual height, Equation 1 would indicate negative
infiltration at the highest stories, which'condition may, at times, actually
exist.
.
Sealing of Vertical Openings
In tall, multi-story buildings, every effort should be made to seal off vertical openings such as stair-wells and elevator' shafts from the re- . mainder of the building. Stair-wells shou|d be equipped with self-closing doors, and, in exceptionally high buildings, should be closed off into sections of not over 10 floors each. Plaster cracks should be filled. Elevator enclosures should be tight and solid doors should be used.
If the sealing of the vertical openings-is made effective, no allowance, need be made for the chimney effect. Instead, the greater wind move ment at the greater heights makes it advisable to install additional heating surface on the upper floors above the level of neighboring buildings, this additional surface being increased as the height is increased. One arbitrary rule is to increase the heating surface on floors above neighboring buildings by an amount ranging from 5 per cent to 20 per cent. This extra heating surface is required only on the windward side and on windy days, and hence automatic temperature control is especially desirable with such installations.
In stair-wells that are open through many floor levels although closed off from the remainder of each floor by doors and partitions; the strati.fication of air makes it advisable to increase the amount of heating surface at the lower levels and to decrease the amount at higher levels. One rule is to calculate the heating surface of the entire stair-well in the usual way' and' to place 50 per cent of this in the bottom third, the normal amount in the middle third and the balance in the top third.

VENTILATION by natural forces finds application in industrial
plants, public buildings, schools, dwellings, garages, and in farm
buildings.
.
The natural forces available for moving air into,, through and out of
buildings are: (a) wind forces, and (b) the difference in temperature
between the air inside and outside a building. The air movement may
be caused by either of these forces acting alone or by a combination of the
two, depending upon atmospheric conditions, building design and loca
tion. The ventilating results obtained will vary, from time to time, due
to variation in the velocity and direction of the wind and the temperature
difference. The arrangement, location, and control of the ventilating
openings should be' such that the two forces act cooperatively rather
. than in opposition.
,
..
'
WIND FORCES
In considering the use of natural wind forces'.for producing ventilation, account must be taken of:.(l) average wind velocity, (2) prevailing wind direction, (3) seasonal and daily variations in velocity and direction, and (4) local wind interference by nearby buildings, hills or other obstructions of similar nature.
Values are given in Table 2, Chapter 15 for the average summer wind
velocities and the prevailing wind directions in various localities through
out the United States, while Table 1, Chapter 14, lists similar values for
the winter. . In almost all localities the summer wind velocities are lower
than those in the winter, and in about two-thirds-of the localities the
prevailing direction is different during the summer and winter. While the
tables give no. average velocities below 5 mph, there will be times when
the velocity is lower, even in localities where the seasonal average is con
siderably above 5 mph. There are relatively few places where the velocity
. faffs .below one half of the average for :many hours per month. Con^
sequently, if the natural ventilating system is designed for wind velocities
of one-half of the average seasonal velocity, it should prove satisfactory in
almost every case.
..
. Equation 1 may be used for calculating the quantity of air forced through ventilation openings by the wind, or for determining the proper size of such openings to produce given results:

The accuracy of the results obtained by the use of .Equation 1 depends upon the placing of the openings, as the formula assumes that ventilating

openings have a flow coefficient slightly greater than that of a squareedged orifice. If the openings are not advantageously placed with respect to the wind, the flow per unit area of the openings will be less and, if unusually well placed, the flow will be slightly more than that given by the formula. Inlets should be placed to face directly into' the prevailing wind, while outlets should be placed in one of the five places listed:
1. On the side of the building directly opposite the direction of the prevailing wind.
2. On the roof in the low pressure area caused by the jump of the wind (see Fig. 1).

TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE FORCES*
The stack effect produced within a building when the outdoor tempera
ture is lower than the indoor temperature is due-to the difference in weight
. of the warm column of air within the building and cooler air outside.
. The flow due to stack effect is proportional to the square root of'the
- draft head, or approximately:

EFFECT OF UNEQUAL OPENINGS
The largest flow per unit area of openings is obtained when inlets and
outlets are equal, and the equations given previously are based on this
condition. Increasing outlets over inlets, or. vice-versa, will increase the
air flow, but not in proportion to the added area. When solving problems
having an unequal distribution of openings, use' the smaller area, either
inlet or outlet, in the equations and add the increase as determined' from
Fig. 2.
. ..
.
COMBINED FORCES OF WIND AND TEMPEM.TURE ,, . .
. Equations for determining-the. air flow due to temperature; difference and wind have already been given. It must be remembered that when
178
CHAPTER 9
; 1946.Gu.idc
both forces are acting together, even without interference, the resulting air flow is not equal to the sum of the . two estimated quantities. The flow through any opening is proportional to the square root of-, the sum .
of the heads acting on that opening. - - . '
. When the. two heads are about equal in value and the ventilating openings are operated so as to coordinate them, the total air flow through . 'the building is about 10 per cent greater than that produced by either head acting independently under conditions ideal to it. This percentage
. decreases rapidly , as one head increases over the other and the larger
will predominate.
.
The wind velocity and , direction, the outdoor temperature, or the
indoor distribution, cannot be predicted with certainty, and refinehient
in calculations is not justified ^consequently, a simplified method can be
used. This may be done by using the equations and calculating the-flows
. produced by each force separately under \conditions of openings best
suited for coordination of the forces. Then, by-determining, as a ,per-
centage, the ratio of the flow produced by temperature difference to the
sum of the two flows,' the actual'flow'due to the combined forces can be
approximated.from Fig. 3.

The flow per square foot of inlet or outlet would be 199,286 -5- 1224 = 163 cfm with all
windows open.
.
Solution for Wind Only. With 1,224 sq ft. of inlet openings distributed around the sidewalls, there would be about 410 sq ft m each long side and 202 sq ft in each end. The outlet area will be equally distributed-on the two sfdes of the monitor, or 612 sq ft on each side. With the wind perpendicular to the long side, there will be 410 sq ft of opening in its path for inflow and 612 in the lee side of the monitor for outflow with the windward side closed. The air flow, as calculated by Equation 1', will be:
Q = 0.60 X 410 X 704 = 173,200 cfm.
.
This gives 17.3 air changes per, hour, which should be more than ample when there is no heat to be removed.
Solution for Combined Heads. Since the windward side of the monitor is closed when
the wind is blowing, the flow due to temperature difference must be calculated for this
condition, using Fig. 2. This chart shows that when inlets are twice the size of the
outlets, in this case 1,224 sq ft in the sidewalls and 612 sq ft in the monitor, the flow will
be increased 26.5 per cent over that produced by equal openings. Using the smaller
opening and the flow per square foot obtained previously, the calculated amount for this
condition will be: ' ^
.
612 X 163 X 1.265 =. 126,200 cfm. / .
Adding the two computed flows:
. . Temperature Difference = 126,200 = 42 per cent. .
Wind '
. = 173,200 = 58 per cent.
-
Total
- 299,400 = 100 per cent.
From Fig. 3, it is determined that when the flow, due to temperature difference, is
42 per cent of the total, the actual flow, dire.to the combined forces, will be about 1.6
times that calculated for temperature difference alone, or 201,920 cfm.
,
The original flow, due to temperature difference alone, was 199,286 cfm with all
openings in use. The effect of the wind is to increase this to 201,920 cfm even though
half of the outlets are closed.
V
.
A factor of judgment is. necessary in the location of the openings in a'
building, especially those in the roof, where heat, smoke and fumes are
to be removed. Usually windward monitor openings, should be closed,
but if the wind is low enough for the temperature head to overcome it,
all windows may be opened. '
.
TYPES OF OPENINGS
Types of openings may be classified as: (1) windows, doors, monitor
openings and skylights, (2) roof, ventilators, (3) stacks connecting to
registers, and (4) specially designed inlet or outlet openings:
.
Windows, Doors and Skylights
.
Windows have the advantage of transmitting light, as well as providing . Ventilating area when open. Their movable parts are arranged'to open ' in various^ ways; they may open by sliding either vertically or horizon- ' tally, by tilting on horizontal pivots at or near the center, or by swinging on pivots at the top, bottom or side. Regardless of their design, the air flow per square foot of opening-may be considered to be the same under the same conditions. The type of pivoting should receive consideration
180
CHAPTER 9
1946 Guide
from the standpoint of weather protection, and certain types may be
advantageous in controlling the distribution of incoming air. Deflectors
are sometimes used for the same purpose, and these devices should be
considered a part of the ventilation system.
.
Roof Ventilators
The function of a roof ventilator is to provide a storm and weather proof air outlet. These are actuated by the same forces of wind and temperature head, which create flow through other types of openings.
The capacity of a ventilator depends upon four things: (1) its location
on the roof, (2) the resistance it and the duct work offers to air flow, (3) the height of draft, and (4) the efficiency of the ventilator in utilizing the
kinetic energy of the wind for inducing flow by centrifugal or ejector .
action. For maximum flow induction, a ventilator should be located on that
part of the roof where it will receive the full wind without interference. If ventilators are installed within the suction region created by the wind
passing over the building, or in a light court, or on a low building between
two high buildings, their performance will be seriously influenced. Their
normal ejector action, if any, may be completely lost.
The base of the ventilator should be-of a taper-cone design to produce,
the effect of a bell-mouth nozzle whose coefficient of flow is considerably
higher than that of a square-entrance orifice. If a grille is provided at
the base or if the base or structural members present obstructions,
additional resistance is introduced, and the base opening should be
increased in size accordingly.
Air inlet openings located at lower levels in the building should be at
least equal to, and preferably larger than the combined throat areas of
all roof ventilators. The air discharged by a roof ventilator depends on
wind velocity and temperature difference, and, in general, their per
formance will be the same as any monitor opening located in the same
place, but due to the four capacity factors already mentioned, no simple
formula can be devised for expressing ventilator capacity.
. Roof ventilators may be classified as stationary, pivoting or oscillating,
and rotating. Generally, these have a found throat, but the continuousridge ventilator, or so-called heat valve, would fall in. the stationary classification, When selecting roof ventilators, some attention should be
given to ruggedness of construction, storm proofing features, dampers
and damper operating mechanisms, possibility of noise, original' cost and
maintenance.
\ '.
Natural ventilation units may be used to supplement power-driven
supply fans, and under favorable weather conditions it may be possible to stop the power-driven units. Units are not subject to code tests for
ratings. Generally they must be selected from manufacturers' tables. It
is, therefore, very important to consider the reliability of the ratings used.
Controls
,
Gravity ventilators may have dampers controlled.by hand, thermostat,
or wind velocity, in combination with a fan. The thermostat station
may be located anywhere in the building, or it may be located within
the ventilator itself. The purpose of wind velocity control is to obtain
a definite volume of exhaust regardless of the natural forces, the fan
motor being: energized when the natural exhaust capacity falls below a
certain minimum, and again shut off when the wind velocity rises to the
point where this minimum, volume can be supplied by natural forces.
Natural Ventilation
181
Stacks
Stacks or vertical flues are really chimneys which function through the effects, of the wind and temperature difference. Like the roof venti lator, the stack outlet should be located so that the wind may act upon it from any direction. With little, or no wind, the chimney effect de pends entirely on temperature difference to produce a removal of air from the rooms where the inlet openings are located.
GENERAL RULES
A few of the important requirements in addition to those already
outlined are:
'
1. Inlet openings in the building should be well distributed, and should be located on the windward side near the bottom, while outlet openings are located on the leeward side near the top. Outside air will then be supplied to the zone to be ventilated.
2. Inlet openings should not be obstructed by buildings, trees, sign boards, etc.-, outside nor by partitions inside.
3. Greatest flow per square foot of total opening is obtained by using inlet and outlet openings of nearly equal areas.
4. In the design of window ventilated buildings, where the direction of the wind is quite constant and dependable, the orientation of the building together with amount and grouping of ventilation openings can be readily arranged to take full advantage of the force of the wind. Where the wind's direction is quite variable, the openings should be arranged in sidewalls and monitors so that, as far as possible, there will be approxi mately equal areas on all sides. Thus, no matter what the wind's direction, there will always be some openings directly exposed to the pressure force and others to a suction force, and effective movement through the building will be assured.
5. Direct short circuits between openings on two sides at a high level may clear the air at that level without producing any appreciable ventilation at the level of occupancy.
6. In order that temperature difference may produce a motive force, there must be vertical.distance between openings. That is, if there are a number of openings available in a building, but all are at the same level, there will be no motive head produced by temperature difference, no matter how great that difference might be.
7. In order .that the force of temperature difference may operate to maximum ad vantage, the vertical distance between inlet and outlet openings should be as great as possible. Openings in the vicinity of the neutral zone are less effective for ventilation.
8. In the use of monitors, windows on the windward side should usually be kept closed, since, if they are open, the inflow tendency of the wind counteracts the outflow tendency of temperature difference. Openings on the leeward side of the monitor result in cooperation of wind and temperature difference.
9. In an industrial building where furnaces that give off heat and fumes are to be
installed, it is better to locate them in the end of the building exposed to the prevailing
wind. The strong suction effect of the wind at the roof near the windward end will then
cooperate with temperature difference, to provide for the most active and satisfactory
removal of the heat and gas laden air.
10. In case it is impossible to locate furnaces in the windward end, that part of the building in which they are to be located should be built higher than the rest, so that the
wind, in splashing therefrom will create a suction. The additional height also increases the effect of temperature difference to cooperate with the wind.
11. The intensity of suction or the vacuum produced by the jump of the wind is greatest just back of the building face. The area of suction does not vary with the wind velocity, but the flow due to suction is directly proportional to wind velocity.
12. Openings much larger than the calculated areas are sometimes desirable, especially
when changes in occupancy-are possible, or to provide for extremely hot days. In the
former case, free openings should be located at the level of occupancy for psychological
reasons.
13. In single story industrial buildings, particularly those covering large areas, natural ventilation must be accomplished by taking air in and out of the roof openings. Openings in the pressure zones can be used for inflow and openings in the suction zone, or openings in zones of less pressure, can be used for outflow. The ventilation is accomplished by the ;manipulation of openings to get air flow through the zones to be ventilated.

DAIRY BARN VENTILATION8
A successful barn ventilating system is one which continuously supplies
the proper amount of air required by the stock, with proper distribution
. and without drafts, and one which removes the excessive heat, moisture,
and odors, and maintains the air at a proper temperature, relative
humidity, and degree of cleanliness.
Bam temperatures below freezing and above 80 F affect milk produc tion. Milk producing stock should be kept in a bam temperature be tween 45 and 50 F. Dry stock, at reduced feeding, may be kept in a bam . 5 to' 10 deg higher. Calf bams are generally kept at 60 F, while hospital and maternity bams usually have a temperature of 60 F or somewhat
higher.
The heat produced, by a cow of an average weight of 1000 lb may be
taken as 3000 Btu per hour. The. average rate of moisture production by
a cow giving 20 lb of milk per day is 15 lb of water per day, or 4375 grains
per hour. To set a standard of permissible relative humidity for cow
barns is difficult. For 45 F an average relative humidity of 80 per cent
is satisfactory, with 85 per cent as a fimit.
:
Where the barn volume and construction permit adequate heating by the stabled animals, the air supply need not be heated. The air should be supplied through or near the ceiling. It is better to have-the exhaust * openings near the floor as larger volumes of warm air are then held in the bam and there is better temperature control with less likelihood of sudden, change in bam temperature.
. If a cow weighs 1000 lb and produces 3000 Btu of heat per hour, and if
a bam for the cow has' 600 cu ft of air space with 130 sq ft of building
exposure, one cow will require 2600 to 3550 cu ft per hour of ventilation,
depending on the temperature zone in which the barn is located. The
permissible heat losses through the structure, based on one cow and
depending on the temperature zone, vary between 0.043 and. 0.066 Btu.
per (hour) (cubic foot of barn space), and 0.197 to 0.305 Btu per (hour)
(square foot of barn exposure).
..
GARAGE VENTILATION
On account of the hazards resulting from carbon monoxide and other -
physiologically harmful or combustible gases or vapors in garages, the'
importance of proper' ventilation of these buildings cannot be over
emphasized: During the warm months of the year,, garages are usually
ventilated adequately because the doors and windows are kept open. As
cold weather sets in, more and more of the ventilation openings are closed ,
and consequently on extremely cold days the carbon monoxide concentra
tion runs high. .
'
Many garages can be satisfactorily ventilated by natural means par
ticularly during the mild weather when doors, and windows.can be kept
. open. However, the A.S.H.V.E. Code of Minimum Requirements for
Heating and Ventilating Garages, adopted in 1935, states that natural
ventilation may be employed for the ventilation of storage sections where '
it is practical to maintain open windows or other openings at all times.
. The code specifies that such openings shall be distributed as uniformly
as possible in at least two outside walls, and that.the total area of such,
'.openings shall be equivalent to at least 5 per cent of the floor area. The
. code further states that where it is impractical to operate such a system of natural ventilation, a mechanical system shall be used which shall

provide for either the supply of 1 cu ft of air per minute from out-of-doors for each square foot of floor area, or for removing the same amount and discharging it to the outside as a means of flushing-the garage4:- .
Research
..
Research on garage ventilation, undertaken by the A.S.H.V.E. Com mittee on Research at Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., and at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kans., in cooperation with, the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory, and at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory, has resulted in authoritative papers on the subject.
Some of the conclusions from work at the Laboratory are listed in the following statements: . ,
1. Upward ventilation results in a lower concentration of carbon monoxide at the
breathing line and a lower temperature above the breathing line than does downward
ventilation, for the same rate of carbon monoxide production; air change and the same'
temperature at the 30-in. level. ,
..
2. A lower rate of air change and a smaller heating load are required with upward'
than with downward ventilation.
; .`
. . ...
3. In the average case upward ventilation results in a lower concentration of carbon monoxide in the occupied portion of a garage than is had with complete mixing of the exhaust gases and the air supplied. However, the variations in concentration from point to point, together with the possible failure of the advantages of upward ventilation to accrue, suggest the basing of garage ventilation on complete mixing arid an air change sufficient to dilute the exhaust gases to the allowable concentration of carbon monoxide.
4. The rate of carbon monoxide production by an idling car is shown to vary from 25 to 50 cu ft per hour, with an average rate of 35 cu ft per hour.
5. An air change of 350,000 cu ft per hour per idling car is required to keep the carbon
monoxide concentration down to one part in 10,000 parts of air.

This term is applied preferably, however, to undesirable or chance impurities, since the occasion may arise for adding to the air controlled amounts of. substances such as: solid or gaseous diluents for the prevention of explosions; germicidal mists or aerosols for bacteria control; masking substances for odor control; or a substitute for one of the normal gases, as is the case when helium is used to replace nitrogen in atmospheres for compressed air workers or divers.
. The control of air quality is one of the functions of complete air con
ditioning, and some knowledge of the composition, concentration and
properties of air contaminants under various circumstances is therefore
essential.
Air contaminants arise from the normal processes of wear, erosion, windstorm, sea-spray evaporation, thermal disintegration, earthquake, volcanic eruption, combustion, manufacturing, transportation, agricul ture, and the biochemical or biological processes of life. They are classi fied at various times as organic and inorganic, visible or invisible, micro scopic or macroscopic, particulate or gaseous, toxic or harmless, beneficial or destructive. The following classification is based chiefly upon the origin or method of formation of air contaminants, using distinctions that are necessarily arbitrary iii some cases.
CXASSIFICATION OF AIR CONTAMINANTS
Dusts, Fumes, and Smokes are known as solid particulate air contami
nants.
'
.
Dusts are solid particles projected into the air by natural forces, such as wind, volcanic eruption or earthquake, and by mechanical or man-made processes, such as crushing,
grinding, milling, drilling, demolition, shovelling, conveying, screening, bagging and sweeping. Some of these forces produce dust from iarger masses, while the others simply . disperse materials that are already in dust or pulverized form. Generally particles are not called dust unless they are smaller than about 100 microns in size. Dusts may be of' mineral type, such as rock, ore, metal, sand; vegetable, such as grain, flour, wood, cotton, pollen; or animal, such as wool, hair, silk, feathers, leather.
. Fumes are solid particles commonly formed by the condensation of vapors of solid materials and may usually be found above molten metals in industrial environments. Metallic fumes generally occur as the oxides in air because of the highly reactive nature
of finely divided matter. Fumes may also be formed by sublimation, distillation, calcination, or chemical reaction, whenever such processes create airborne particles predominately below the 1 micron size. Fumes permitted to age tend to flocculate into clumps or. aggregates of much larger size and this tendency may facilitate their removal
* 'from air under controlled conditions.
.

Air Contaminants

Smokes are the extremely small solid particles produced by incomplete combustion of organic substances such as tobacco, wood, coal, oil, tar and other carbonaceous materials. The term smoke is commonly applied to the mixture of solid, liquid and gaseous products of combustion, although the technical literature prefers to distinguish between such component's as soot or carbon particles, fly-ash, cinders, tarry matter, unburned gases, and gaseous combustion products. The finest particulate constituents are characteristically much less than 1 micron in size, often in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 micron.
Mists and Fogs are known as liquid particulate air contaminants.
Mists are very small airborne droplets of materials that are ordinarily liquid at normal temperatures and pressures. They may be formed by atomizing, spraying, splashing, mixing, violent chemical reaction, electrolytic evolution of gas from a liquid, or escape of a dissolved gas upon release of pressure. The very small droplets expelled or atomized into the air by sneezing constitute mists containing microorganisms thdt become air'
contaminants.
'
Fogs are limited by some classifications to airborne droplets formed by condensation
from the vapor state. This arbitrary distinction between mist and fog is of' minor
importance, as both terms are used to indicate the particulate state of airborne liquids
(occasionally termed aerosols). Fog nozzles are so named because of their ability to
produce extra fine droplets as compared to the mist from ordinary spray devices. The
highly volatile nature of some liquids quickly reduces their airborne droplets from the
mist to the fog range, and eventually to the vapor phase until the air becomes saturated,
with that liquid. Many droplets in fogs or clouds are microscopic and submicroscopic
in size, and may be conceived as the transition state between the larger mists and the
vapors.
.
Vapors and Gases are known as gaseous non-particulate air contami
nants.
'
Vapors are the gaseous phase of substances that are either liquid or solid in their commonly known state, examples being gasoline, kerosene, benzene, carbon tetrachloride,; mercury, iodine, camphor. Vapors may be changed to the solid or liquid form by in creasing the pressure, decreasing the temperature or applying both processes simultan eously. They are removed from the air by condensation with less difficulty than are
the gases. .
`
'
. Gases are normally formless fluids which tend to occupy a space or enclosure completely and uniformly at ordinary temperatures and pressures. The following substances, there fore, qualify as gases: oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, ammonia, sulfur dioxide. Gases, likewise, may be solidified or liquefied by the proper control of temperature and pressure.
The preceding classification is not suitable for the airborne living
organisms, which themselves range in size from the submicroscopic
viruses to the largest pollen grains, not considering the smallest insect life.
Bacteria range from about 0.2 to 5 microns in size, fungus spores from
1 to 10 microns, and pollen from 5 to 150 microns.
.
SIZES OF AIRBORNE PARTICLES
Fig. 1 is a graphic tabulation of the properties of airborne solids and,
liquids arranged according to size on the micron scale. There are 25,400.
microns in 1 inch.
,
Particles larger than 10 microns are unlikely , to remain suspended in
air currents of moderate strength, but settle out by gravity at speeds
dependent upon the shape, the size and specific gravity of the particle,
the wind velocity, the orientation of the collecting surface, and the
topography. These.larger particles are of major interest to the engineer
in the solution of nuisance problems, but it is usually the smaller particles,
or those below 10 microns, that remain in the air long enough.to be of
hygienic as well as.economic significance.
.
The great bulk of industrial dust particles are of the order of 1 micron '

reveal particles in. the 0.1 micron vicinity may-account in part for this
observed statistical average of 0.5 micron.
.. .
The lower limit of particle size visible to the naked eye cannot be
stated definitely. It depends not only upon the individual eye, but,also upon the shape and color of the particle, the intensity and quality of the light, and the nature of the background or the opportunity for contrast.
Under ideal conditions a particle of 10-micron size may be recognized,
while under less favorable conditions it may be impossible to distinguish a particle smaller than 50 microns. The lower limit of visibility should, therefore, be considered as a physiological range, probably 10 to 50
microns.
.'
Dusts, powders and granular materials are frequently classified by
reference to the size of screens used for separation. Particles above 40 microns are said to be the screen sizes and those below, the sub-screen or microscopic sizes. The approximate or theoretical sizes of particles corresponding to the mesh scale of the U. S. Standard Sieve Series are
given in Table 1.
.

Nominal Sieve Opening in Microns________ 37 44 74 105 149 250 500. 1000
Microscopic examination of screened dust indicates, that the average diameter of a sample of irregular particles may be substantially larger than the openings of the screen through which it has passed, if the particle shapes deviate considerably from the spherical form2. The smallest dimension of many such particles will correspond with the maximum
permissible distance between the wires of commercial screens made to
ASTM Standard specifications. .
.
Screening does not give sharp separation into size groups, and accord
ingly such a classification is statistical rather than absolute.
Mineral particles, such as grains of sand, bits of rock, volcanic ash, or fly-ash, can be transported long distances under unusual circumstances. Thus, the dust storms' of 1935 in the Kansas district resulted' in vast amounts of fine top soil being thrown high into the air. Solar illumination
as far east as Boston was affected noticeably and particles as large as 40
to 50 microns were actually carried half way across the continent before they settled out. In similar manner volcanic ash has been carried even
farther. It is not surprising, therefore, that fly1ash from furnace gases,
cement dust and the like, can be carried for considerable distances and
that, occasionally, the engineer is confronted with the problem- of remov ing such material before the air in question is suitable for use in building
ventilation.-
,
AIR POLLUTION BY SMOKE, ASH AND CINDERS
The total airborne solids settling in urban areas are usually reported as soot fall in tons per (square mile) (month). Such data published- for the cities in this country range-from 20 to 200 tons per (square mile)
188

(month). To the air conditioning engineer this information may indicate
the effectiveness of smoke abatement or fuel combustion control methods in his locality, but it does not provide a suitable index of the suspended dust that air cleaners in a ventilating system are expected to capture3i 4-6. Gravimetric or weight data of the type given in Table 2 are preferable. In some cases airborne particle counts may be necessary, as for pollen, bacteria, spores, and dusts causing illness or lung disease.
Dust concentrations by weight cannot be converted directly to con centrations by particle count because of the variability of particle size, shape and specific gravity, and the inherent characteristics of dust counting and weighing procedures. One milligram of dust per cubic meter of air may represent dust counts from 1 million to 100 million particles per cubic foot of air (lightfield microscope technic) according to the size distribution of the airborne dust sample. Information of this type for a specified application is best obtained by simultaneous sampling for both counting and weighing and noting carefully at the time all factors that might affect the reproducibility of the count-weight ratio.

Smoke Abatement'
'
Successful abatement of atmospheric pollution caused by smoke requires the combined efforts of the combustion engineer, industrial executive, public health officer, city planning commission and the com munity at large. Electrification of industry and railroads, increase in the use of domestic oil and gas furnaces, and segregation: of industrial districts is gradually providing effective aid in the solution of this problem.
In the large cities where nuisance from smoke, fly-ash and cinders is
more serious, limited areas obtain some relief by-the use of district heating.
Boilers in these plants are of large size, designed and operated to burn the
fuel without wasteful smoke, and equipped in some cases with dust
collecting devices. The gases of combustion are usually discharged at a
much higher level than is possible in the case of scattered buildings
equipped with separate boiler plants.
.
1
Time, temperature and turbulence are fundamental requirements for smokeless combustion. Increase of any one of these factors will reduce the quantity of smoke discharged, although excessive turbulence in fur
naces may. increase the output of ash and cinders. Special care must be
taken in hand firing the bituminous coals. . (See Chapters 16, 17 and 18
for further discussion on fuel burning technic).
-
Legislative measures at the present time are ..largely concerned with .reduction of the visible smoke discharged from chimneys of boiler plants. Practically all ordinances limit the number of minutes in any one hour
Air Contaminants
189
that smoke of a specified density may be-discharged, as measured by comparison With a Ringelmann -Chart (Chapter- 11, Instruments and Measurements).' Ordinances generally do not make specific provision for control of the corrosive and irritant gases, such as sulfur dioxide and trioxide, which are discharged with the gases of combustion. Where high sulfur coals are burned, these sulfur gases present a serious hazard to property, health and vegetation.
In foggy weather the accumulation of these gases in the lower strata of the atmosphere may be such as to cause irritation of the eyes, nose and respiratory passages, and possibly even more dangerous consequences. The Meuse Valley (Belgium) fog disaster has become a classic example in the history of gaseous air pollution. Released in a rare combination of atmospheric calm and dense fog, it is believed that sulfur dioxide and other toxic gases from the industrial region of the valley caused 63 sudden deaths, and injuries to several hundred persons.
Dusts and cinders in flue gas may be'caught by various available devices, such as settling chambers, centrifugal separators, electric precipi tators, and gas scrubbers. The difficulty of retaining the dust and cinder . particles is principally a function of their size, specific gravity, and re sistance to wetting if a washer is used. Descriptions of dust collecting devices are given in Chapter 33.
Absorption of Solar Radiation
.
The loss of light, particularly the absorption of solar ultraviolet light by smoke and soot, is recognized as a health problem in many industrial cities. Measurements of solar radiation in Baltimore 6.by actinic methods demonstrated that ultraviolet light in the country was 50 per cent greater than in the city. In New York City 7 a loss as great as 50 per cent in visible light was found by the photo-electric cell method.
ODOR NUISANCE
-
A problem companionate with smoke abatement is the control of odor nuisance in the neighborhood of industrial plants discharging noxious or offensive air contaminants. Community planning and zoning will avoid much of the difficulty in the future, but meanwhile many industrial cities must resort to corrective'measures by requiring the installation of air cleaning devices, the alteration of manufacturing processes, or by legal termination of the offensive operation in residential or commercial districts.
The development and manufacture of more effective and economical
air cleaning devices for application to industrial plants will make it
possible for many industries to continue operation in their original
locations if desired, even though the community standards of air purity
become more rigid. To a limited extent such developments already are
benefiting the manufacturer, his employees, and his neighbors, when
cleaning of the air from ventilated dusty processes makes it possible
to return the reclaimed or recovered air to the workroom atmosphere
instead of discharging it to the outside with its full load of contamination
(Chapter 33).
.
The control of outdoor odor nuisance is especially, troublesome because of the extremely minute quantities of contaminant that are capable of offending, through a wide area. New industrial chemicals with strange
190
CHAPTER 10
1946 Guide '
or unfamiliar odors tend to receive-much-more attention from the neigh borhood than the customary odors generated by well known processes and raw materials. Methods of odor control currently in use include charcoal adsorption, scrubbing towers and air washers, chlorination, condensation, masking, passage of the odorous air through combustion chambers, and best of all, substitution of less offensive materials whenever possible *10-
The control of air quality within buildings ventilated for human occupancy is discussed in -Chapter 12. Tobacco smoke odors, cooking odors and body odors are air contaminants of the nuisance type which now command a decisive position in the standards of air quality for indoor comfort. However, the engineer will find, at times, that odors originating outside buildings in industrial or business districts may have an even greater bearing than indoor contamination on the kind and capacity of equipment he must provide for a, high quality air supply installation.
INDUSTRIAL AIR CONTAMINANTS
Many industrial processes are sources of contaminants. Their unde
sirable effects are known to the public and their control is an important
function of the ventilating or air conditioning engineer, because the
atmosphere within buildings is the medium whereby such finely divided
matter is dispersed and transported from the source to remote locations
where it may cause property damage, nuisance, fire, explosion, disease-
and even death.
.
Tables 3,- 4 and 5 give the maximum allowable concentrations for industrial air contaminants as currently accepted in most sections of the country. They apply to exposures of 8 hours per day, and refer to the quantities of contaminant permissible in the workers'. breathing zone. . Some of these figures may be altered as the result of continuous research, and some may differ from those in force in a few cities, or states. The prudent engineer will design equipment using these values as the upper limits of air contamination, and will incorporate a reasonable margin of safely in his estimates of ventilation capacity.
Information on the properties and effects, with respect to health, of
-specific industrial air contaminants has developed rapidly within the
past decade into an extensive literature. Some of the more readily
available publications are listed at the end of this chapter.
;
FLAMMABLE GASES AND VAPORS
Adequate ventilation is a primary requirement for eliminating or .minimizing.the hazard of fire or explosion due to gases and vapors. The need for good ventilation is not removed by the use of other precautions,. such as the elimination of known ignition sources, segregation of hazard ous operations,' adoption of safe building construction, and installation of automatic alarms. Some safety engineers regard overventilation of an operation employing flammable liquids as a legitimate <operating charge for the privilege or necessity of using a dangerous process. However, it is ' not possible to apply a reasonable safety factor to the ventilation estimate without consideration of the concentrations of gases or vapors that ap proach the danger point. Safety engineers prefer to limit the concen tration to M or H of the lower explosive limit, and this fact should be given full weight'in determining the capacity and design of ventilating equipment. Rarely- should consideration be given to operation' above

Flash point is a convenient method of expressing this property in terms of the temperature scale. It may be defined as the temperature to which . a. combustible liquid must be heated to produce a flash of flame when a small, flame is passed across the surface of the liquid. The higher the
Air Contaminants
193
flash point, the more safely can the liquid be handled. Liquids with flash points under 70 F should be regarded as highly flammable.
The upper and lower limits of flammability of gases and vapors, and the flash points of the corresponding liquids are given in Table 6. -
Methods for estimating the flammable limits of mixtures of gases or
vapors must be applied with caution; the reader is referred to other
publications for this information 12,13.
-
Design of equipment for the control of combustible anesthetics is outlined in Chapter 13. Construction of equipment for handling air containing flammable substances, or operating in atmospheres so con taminated, is discussed in Chapter 46.
It is customary to report the concentrations of flammable gases or vapors in per cent by volume, or volume per cent. Comparison with concentrations on the part per million scale used in chemical, medical or industrial hygiene literature is readily made by the conversion: 1 per cent = 10,000 ppm (parts, of contaminant per million parts of air, or in other words, cubic feet of contaminant per million cubic feet of air). It will1 be noted in Table 6 that nearly all of the substances listed have lower explosive limits above 1.0 per cent, while the maximum allowable, concentrations for gases and vapors in Table 3 are below 1000 ppm or 0.1 per cent in most cases. Therefore, control of toxic or injurious vapors in workrooms to levels below their maximum allowable concen trations for health, usually requires much more effective ventilation than
for the prevention of a fire hazard.
COMBUSTIBLE DUSTS
A dust explosion is essentially a sudden pressure rise caused by the very rapid burning of airborne dust. The primary explosion often
originates from a small amount of dust in suspension exposed to a source of ignition and the pressure and vibration it creates may be sufficient to dislodge large accumulations of dust on horizontal ledges or surfaces of the building and equipment, thereby creating a secondary explosion of
great force. Thus the air conditioning engineer is involved for two reasons; (1) to obtain a movement of dust-laden air into exhaust hoods or openings, and through ventilating or pneumatic conveying ducts in a manner that
will prevent accumulation of highly flammable dust at points where it , could ignite inside the equipment; and (2) to so design process ventilation
as to prevent the escape of dust which might settle on horizontal surfaces and become a potential source of disaster at some distance from the .
dusty operations. (See Chapter 46).
The intensity of a dust explosion depends upon: the chemical and thermal properties of the dust; the particle size and shape; the concen
tration in air; the proportion of inert dust in the air; the moisture content
and composition of the air; the size and temperature of the ignition source; and the degree of dispersion of the dust cloud. Investigations on the
explosibility of dusts require a determination of the maximum pressure " developed during an explosion of a known air concentration, as well as
determination of the rate of pressure rise. Investigators frequently
experience difficulty in obtaining dust suspensions of uniform dispersion;
and this fact must be weighed when comparing results from several
sourcesM.

-
The minimum explosive concentrations of airborne dusts already tested range from 0.01 to 0.5 oz pier cubic foot, or 10 to 500 grams per cubic

ATMOSPHERIC POLLEN
The properties of pollen grains discharged by weeds, grasses and trees
and responsible for hay fever are- of, special interest to engineers who . ,
design equipment for their removal from indoor air (see Allergic Dis-
orders in Chapter 13, and Air Cleaning Devices, .Chapter 33). Whole. .
grains and fragments transported by the.air range chiefly between 10 and ,
50 microns in size, but some have been .measured as small as 5 microns
and others over 100 microns in diameter. Ragweed pollen grains are ' .
fairly uniform in size within the range pf 15 to 25 microns.
Pollen grains can be removed from the air more readily than the parti-
cles of dust prevalent in outdoor air and found near dusty industrial
processes, since the latter predominate in ;the range of 0.1 to 10 microns .

humidity. The specific gravity of air-dried pollen is reported to vary from 0.4 to 1.2, and accordingly their weight will either increase or decrease with the addition of moisture". Their shapes and surface designs " are marvelously complex, though they tend to be spherical, especially when fully distended with moisture. Illustrations and data on individual pollen grains are available in the botanical literature52'2S> 24. The geographical distribution of plaints known to produce hay fever is
' also recorded 25, 26.
The quantity of pollen grains in the air is generally estimated by
exposing an adhesive-coated glass plate outdoors for 24 hr and then counting calibrated areas under the microscope. Methods ate available for determining the number of grains in a measured volume of air 26, 27, 28 but their greater accuracy has not caused them to replace the more simple
gravity slide method used for most pollen counts. Counting technics
vary somewhat, but the daily pollen counts reported in local newspapers
during the hay fever season usually represent the number of grains
found on 1.8 sq cm of a 24-hr gravity slide.
..
Hay fever sufferers may notice the first symptoms when the pollen count' is 10 to 25, and in some localities the maximum figures for the seasonal peak may approach 1000 for a 24-hr period, depending upon the sampling .
and reporting methods of the laboratory. Translation of gravity counts
by special formulas to a volumetric basis, or the number of grains per cubic yard or per cubic foot of air, is still uncertain because of the com plexity of the modifying factors. When such information is important,
it is best obtained directly by a volumetric instrument. The number of pollen grains per cubic yard of air evidently varies from 2 to 20 times . the number found on 1 sq cm of a 24-hr gravity slide, depending on grain
diameter, shape, specific gravity, wind velocity, humidity and physical
placement of the collecting plate29,30,8l. *'

AIRBORNE BACTERIA
Study of the occurence and significance of micro-organisms in the "
atmospheres of the indoor world is currently absorbing the energies
of a substantial number of physicians, bacteriologists, aerobiologists,
physicists, public health workers, engineers and hospital personnel. Some
data are available' on the types, and quantities of bacteria found in a
variety of occupied and unoccupied spaces, but it is not possible at
present to use this information as a conclusive index of the potential
health hazard of a given environment. The number of airborne organisms
may vary from 1 to 1000 per cubic foot of air, depending on the method
of testing 32. Many are attached to the dust particles which also inhabit
the air.
.
Where it seems advisable or desirable to control the bacterial content of rooms, public conveyances or buildings; highly effective methods are available (see Chapter 13), and their extended use may do much to,assist the workers jn this field in accumulating the necessary mass of evidence that will decide the practical value of air sterilization for the control of communicable disease. It is now well established that ultraviolet radia tion is commercially feasible for the protection or preservation of phar maceuticals, cosmetics, and food products.

THIS chapter presents a description of many test instruments used for heating, ventilating and air conditioning tests and presents a discussion of their use.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Changes in the intensity of heat may be determined by several methods1 such as measuring the change in volume of a liquid, the change in internal pressure of a confined gas, the current set up between dissimilar metals joined in a circuit, or the change in resistance of an electrical circuit.
Thermometers
.
'
.'
The most common method used is the change in volume of a liquid
such as mercury or alcohol enclosed in glass. Mercurial thermometers
may be used for measuring temperatures from -- 40 F to approximately
1000 F. The lower limit is set by the freezing point of mercury. Since
the boiling point of mercury is only about 675 F, the space above the
mercury in thermometers designed for higher temperatures must be filled
with an inert gas under pressure. Alcohol thermometers may be used
for temperatures from -- 94 F to +248 F.
.
The more accurate thermometers have divisions etched on the stem
and are preferred for test purposes due to their low heat capacity.. During
their manufacture, the freezing aiid boiling points of water are first
marked while the thermometer is immersed in a test bath. The required
divisions between these points, whether Centigrade or Fahrenheit,
are then marked and etched' on the stem. In spite of these precautions
the probable error in etched stem thermometers plus or minus one
scale division, which makes calibration after manufacture necessary for
most test work. Such thermometers are usually calibrated for complete
stem immersion. .'
,
When incompletely immersed, a stem .correction should be made. At
ordinary atmospheric temperatures the correction is negligibly.small,,
but it usually is important when measuring high temperatures such as
those of steam and flue gas. The emergent stem, correction may be
calculated by the equation: i

Since the bulb has considerable area, radiant energy may affect tem
perature readings2. In measuring room temperatures, care must be
taken to locate thermometers away from hot surfaces, such'as radiators,
or cold surfaces, such as walls or windows. Where this is impracticable,
bright, polished shields should be used to screen the bulb from the radiant
energy.
'
Errors may also be avoided: (a) by allowing the thermometer time to reach equilibrium, (b) by-providing sufficient circulation to give a true average temperature of the medium observed, and (c) by reading with the eye at the same level as the top of the liquid, i.e., avoiding parallax.
' Two types of industrial thermometers for permanent installation in ducts or pipes are shown in Fig. 1, and consist of a glass thermometer protected by a metal case. The better grades have metal scales made specially for each instrument. These are ruled in the same manner as
-Instruments and Measurements'

Thermocouples ..
/
.
When two dissimilar metals are joined at two points and a temperature difference exists between these junctions, an electromotive force is developed. By maintaining the cold junction at a constant temperature (or providing equivalent electrical compensation), the magnitude of the electromotive force developed is a direct measure of the temperature of the warm junction. By proper selection of metals, any temperature up to 2900 F may be measured. Readings are obtained by means of a potentiometer or sensitive galvanometer which may be calibrated in degrees; If a potentiometer is used, there is no current flowing through the thermocouple wires at the time of measurement and therefore the resistance of the thermocouple circuit does not affect the accuracy of the reading. If a. galvanometer is used instead of a potentiometer, the instrument is usually built with a high internal resistance to minimize the effect of the resistance of the thermocouple circuit and also, special'
described for etched stem thermometers. Due to the heat capacity and
heat conductance of the jacket, it is more difficult to obtain the true
temperature at a point with these than with the exposed etched stem
type. The latter is usually preferred for test purposes.

Thermometer Wells
..
. Where temperatures of fluids or gases in vessels or conduits are to be measured, it is often necessary to resort to thermometer wells. These are especially designed to contain thermometers and thermocouples. Since they separate the temperature sensitive element from the medium to be observed, large errors may result from their improper use *. These errors may be due both to poor heat transfer from the wall of the well to the sensitive element, and also to the tendency of heat to travel along the length of the well itself. To improve heat transfer in the case of ther- . mometers, the void should be filled with a liquid of minimum practical viscosity. At the well mouth, the stem should be packed to check evapor ation and heat transfer to the atmosphere. To reduce the temperature gradient over the length of the well, the wall of the conduit should be carefully insulatednn the area surrounding the observation point. ~
Fig. 2. Basic Circuit and Connections for Thermocouple and Potentiometer .
lead wires of known resistance are used to connect the galvanometer to the thermocouples. The basic potentiometer circuits are shown in-Fig. 2. The thermocouple leads A-B are so connected that their polarity opposes that of battery C. If the position of E on the graduated slide wire rheo stat DF is adjusted until galvanometer G shows no current flowing, resistance DE will indicate directly the voltage generated by the thermo couple. In order to correct for variations in voltage from battery C, switch S is momentarily thrown over to the standard cell circuit and rheostat R is then adjusted so that the galvanometer shows zero current. Battery C then exerts the known voltage of the standard.cell at DH.
-Calibration of thermocouples for high temperatures may be made against known melting points of metals. Radiation effects may be minimized by using the smallest size of wires consistent with mechanical strength. The use of small wires also makes the thermocouple sensitive to minute fluctuations in temperature. Wires of No. 33 B & S gage are small enough to be sensitive and to minimize radiation effects while still rugged enough for many purposes. By the use of thermocouples,, temperatures at remote points may. be indicated or recorded on con veniently located instruments; average'temperature .may be . readily obtained by connecting several couples in parallel or in'series'; and tern-

peratures may be obtained within thin materials, narrow1 spaces,' or *
otherwise inaccessible locations..
",
' . Thermocouples in series with every alternate junction, maintained at
a common temperature will give an emf which, divided by the number
of couples to give the average emf 4 per couple, may be used to find the
average temperature.
.
Thermocouples in parallel having the similar metals of a number of
couples connected together and run to a common cold junction will cause
an indication on a potentiometer which is the true emf only if the electrical
resistances of the parallel junctions are the same *5. _
'
The temperature of the surface is at best difficult to obtain accurately6.
The thermocouple is most readily adaptable for this purpose. In a
metal surface, a common method is to peen the'.couple into a small
drilled hole, bearing in mind that the temperature indicated is that
existing at the last point of junction in the couple. Other methods involve
.Fig. 3. Typical Resistance Thermometer Circuit and Connections
fastening the couple to'the surface with adhesive cellophane, dr cementing, the.couple with litharge in a surface scratch, and grinding it flush with the surface. Wires may also be fastened to the surface by brazing, care being
taken to add as little extra metal as possible. This is a useful method'for
obtaining the temperature of cast-iron heating surfaces;
.
In any of these methods the.leads should be of.as fine wire as practicable,
since conductance along the' leads to the couple may''be a source of
considerable error.
.
Resistance thermometers depend for their operation upon the change of resistance. of metal with change in temperature.' Their use largely
parallels that of thermocouples, although readings tend to be unstable
above 950 F. Two-lead temperature elements are not recommended,
since they do not permit correction for lead resistance. Three leads to
each resistor are necessary.to obtain consistent readings.
.. 1
A -typical circuit used, by several manufacturers is shown in Fig. .3.
In this design a differential galvanometer is used, in which coils L and H exert'opposing forces on the indicating needle. ' Coil L is'in series with . the thermometer, resistance AB, and coil H is in series'with-the constant
resistance' Rv' As the temperature falls, the resistance of AB decreases allowing more current to flow' through coil L than through coil H. This.'
'U*

causes an increase in the force exerted by coil L, pulling the.needle.down
to a lower reading. Likewise, as, the temperature rises the resistance of- .; AB increases,. causing less current to flow through coil, L than through
coil H. This.forces the. indicating needle to a. higher reading.. Rheostat
S must be adjusted occasionally to maintain a constant flow of current. .
Instruments of this type are frequently connected through a,selector,
switch to a number of thermal resistor elements and used to indicate
temperatures in Eemote locations in large buildings. ,.The direct reading -.
feature is advantageous in this case.'
. .
.

Pyrometers
.. .
' . ..
'
For measuring high temperatures, such as in furnaces, pyrometers are
often used. Radiation pyrometers concentrate the radiant energy on a '
thermopile, and the reading is obtained on a galvanometer or potentio
meter. Optical pyrometers require visual- matching of a narrow spectral
band, usually-red, emitted by the object'with that from-a standard
electric lamp.
'
Barometer
PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
.
The most accurate barometer for determining the atmospheric pressure is the mercurial type, consisting of a tube over 30. in., long closed at the top and standing in a mercury well. The barometric pressure is expressed as the height of the mercury column above the level of the mercury in the well. Such barometers are equipped with an adjustment to compensate
1
for change in level of mercury in the. well. The reading should be taken
at the top of the meniscus and is obtained on a Vernier scale.
Correction for variation of the density; of the mercury column and for expansion of the brass scale, which are usually calibrated for 32 F mercury "
and 62 F scale temperature,'should be made by subtracting from the .
observed height in inches the value of C determined by Equation 2.

Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 29.921- in. Hg. Since .
normal atmospheric pressure.decreases about O.Ol in. Hg-.for each 10 ft
increasem elevation, it is important to make a correction if the elevation
of the barometer is not that of the test apparatus. In, many cases the
barometric reading may be obtained from a nearby .Weather-Bureau
Station, in which.case inquiry should be made as to whether the value is
as observed or corrected to sea level.
. . ..
' -
Atmospheric pressure may also be measured by an aneroid barometer, . -.
which is easijy portable. In this type, variations in atmospheric pressure '
bend the thin surface of a sealed box or tube. The 'aneroid type is not ; '
as accurate as the mercurial and needs frequent calibration: Most of-the
pressure gages used in-engineering work indicate the difference between
.
the pressure being measured and the atmospheric-pressurer-^Such pres-
sures-are called gage pressures. Absolute pressure, may :be obtained by-' '. ', -
adding barometric pressure and gage pressure algebraically.

Pressure Gages
'
. '.
The Bourdon type gage is a widely used device for measuring pressures. The Bourdon tube is elliptical in cross-section and circular in form, and is connected by suitable linkage to a pointer which moves over a dial. An increase in pressure tends to straighten the tube and a decrease has the opposite effect. When used with'high temperature steam, the tube . must be protected by a water seal. When used with ammonia it must be made of steel or other material not attacked by this substance. When ' used for sub-atmospheric pressure, the gage is known as a vacuum gage, and is usually graduated in inches of mercury. For pressures above atmospheric, it is termed a pressure gage and is graduated in pounds per square inch. Some are made to read in both directions and are termed compound gages. Calibration is usually made by means of a dead weight . tester, consisting of a platform and weights resting on a piston floating on oil. The pressure at all points in the fluid is determined from the area of the piston and the total weight resting on the oil. Adjustments

205
For measuring low pressure differences to within 0.001 in. of water very
sensitive micromanometers are available, such as the Illinois or Wahlen,
the Askania, and the Emswiler 3| . ..Calibration of these is impossible,,
and readings are converted to pressure units by fundamental calculations
involving the specific gravity of the fluids used and the design principles
involved.

For comparatively low gage pressures or differences in pressure between two points in a duct system, the vertical U tube is a simple and accurate gage and is often used for test work with various fluids such as mercury, water, kerosene, or alcohol. Readings may be in inches of any of these
fluids.
.
For measuring pressure differences of a few inches of water, or less, U gages are often set at an angle for scale amplification. In commercial
' gages of this type, commonly termed draft gages, only one tube of small
bore is used and. the other leg is replaced by a reservoir. Although the
scale is calibrated to read in inches of water, a fluid'having the density
and characteristics of kerosene is often used. It is necessary, in such a
gage, to use a fluid having the same gravity as that for which the gage
was originally calibrated, or to apply a correction if another fluid is used.
Such, gages may be checked one against another to detect errors in
gravity of fluid.' For more accurate calibration the gage may be checked
. against a micromanometer or a calibrating device known as a hook gage 7.
The accuracy of a draft gage is dependent on the slope of the tubes and
consequently the base of the gage must be leveled carefully. It is not
desirable to use a slope of less than -1 in 10.

.
' The better grades'of inclined draft gages are . equipped as shown in
Fig.: 4; This includes a built-in level and leveling adjustment, a means
of adjusting the scale to zero, and three-way vent cock-connectors lor

,.
which it is connected. Where velocities are low, as in certain plenum chambers, or where flow is free of large eddies and parallel to the wallsof the conduit, a carefully drilled, opening cleared of burrs and at right angles to the stream will give accurate readings10. The drilled depth of this hole through the wall should be at least two diameters. A second method less likely to involve error is the use of the static pressure element of a Pitot tube shown in Fig. 5. A static tube of the same general design as the Pitot may also be used, omitting the center tube. In using this instrument it should be pointed upstream, avoiding impact or eddies.
MEASUREMENT OF AIR MOVEMENT
The problem of measuring air movement may be divided into three main parts: air confined.in ducts, air circulating in free spaces, and air entering or leaving such space through openings such as. grilles. Other

: For determining the velocity; and therefore the volume of air flowing
in a duct, the Standard1 Pitot Tube 7 shown in Fig. 5 .is probably most
often' used. When connected as illustrated; this instrument will give
readings'of both static and velocity pressure directly; From the latter
.the air velocity may be found from tables, or calculated .from.the fob
lowing relation:
....... ............................
VV = 1096.5
where
V -- velocity, feet per minute. .,. hv = velocity pressure, inches of water.
d -- density of air, pounds per cubic foot.
. '
(3)'
Air flow in'a duct is seldom uniform. In general the velocity is lowest

near the edges or corners, and greatest at or near, the center. ' For this '
reason a large number of readings should'be taken in-the manner shown in;
Fig. 6. In die case of round ducts not less than 20 should be taken along'
two. diameters at centers of equal annular areas. In rectangular ducts
the readings should be taken in the, center, of equal areas over the crossT
section of the duct. The number of spaces should not be lessthan 16 and
' need not be more than 64. . .When less than 64 are .taken the, number, of
equal spaces should be such that the centers, of the areas are;.not more
-than 6 in. apart. -

For small pipes it is sometimes necessary, to,construct a Pitot tube '

i - Instruments and Measurements'-
' ________ ______ '' ,207
The velocities used in many ducts are too low for measurement by.
means of pressure gages and it therefore becomes necessary to resort to
other types of instruments.
.. : . . .
- Many forms of Pitot tubes other than the one described have been used : and calibrated A double-ended tube u, one end pointing down-stream, .
and one up-stream, is sometimes used for low velocities, but It should be carefully calibrated for accurate results. A special form of this .tube design consists of two straight }/& in. tubes soldered together, closed at the end, and with a 0.04 in. hole in each tube opposite the line of contact. This tube is useful in exploring velocities on exhaust inlets, such as on hoods placed around grinding wheels. . '
The rounded approach orifice or nozzle of the general type described in the A.S.H.V.E. Unit Heater14 and Unit Ventilator u Codes is an accurate . air measuring device. When it is well made, the coefficient closely ap proaches unity. The discharge from such a nozzle is uniform16 and provides a good location for calibration of air velocity instruments17.
The Venturi meter is like the nozzle except for the addition of a down-
stream transition section that reduces the pressure drop through the
measuring apparatus.
. .. .
The thin-plate square-edged orifice has a coefficient of approximately
0.60. The exact value depends on .the location of . the connections, the
pressure drop, the diameter ratio of orifice to pipe, and the sharpness
of the edge18.
_
,.
Another method of air measurement uses the thermal electric principle where, -by means of a measured amount of current, heat is put into the air stream. The weight of air flowing is calculated from the heat equiva- ' lent of the electrical input and. the temperature rise of the air. Heat should be applied uniformly to the mass of air passing, and the small . . temperature rise must be determined accurately.
In certain.applications the air velocity through a duct, heater coil, or '
heating unit may be most conveniently obtained by computation from -.
, the heat given up by the coil'and-the temperature rise (hieasured by
, thermocouples) of the air passing through. It is essential to have a
uniform flow over the entire inlet and outlet of the heater at the plane
of temperature measurement.
.
. Air Currents in Free Spaces
.. .
One of the instruments useful in determining the velocity of air cur
- rents in free spaces is the Kata-thermometer. It is essentially an alcohol
thermometer with a .large bulb. The stem has two marks, one corre
sponding to 95 F, and the other 100 F. The instrument is heated above
. 100 F and then the time in seconds required for it to cool from 100 to 95
, when located in the air current gives a measure of the non-directional
. velocity. It is important to have the Kata-thermometer dry before
taking the reading. Each Kata has its own factor, etched on the stem,
and this factor must be used with its codling formula or chart for obtain
. ' ing the velocity. The Kata-thermometer is useful in exploring ventilated
spaces to determine whether the proper air movement and distribution
' are being maintained; It is also used in determining the cooling power
... of the atmosphere, since it loses heat by radiation and convection-when
dry, and by radiation; convection, and' evaporation when the bulb is
. equipped with a wetted cloth covering 19.
.
Another. instrument for measuring: low velocity air currents is the
208
CHAPTER 11
1946 Guide
heated thermometer anemometer 2o. This consists of a mercurial glass thermometer with a resistance winding on the bulb. Current is supplied from an external source in a measured amount. The difference between the temperature of this heated thermometer and that of an ordinary thermometer at the same location, together with the current supplied, makes it possible to calculate the non-directional velocity of the air stream.
The heated thermocouple anemometer, employs a thermocouple instead
of a thermometer21. .
'
Another instrument is the hot wire anemometer which has been made in several patterns. In general, a measured current is supplied to raise the temperature of a fine bare wire above the temperature of the surrounding air. With the use of a very fine wire, minute fluctuations in velocity may be measured, and the area exposed to radiant exchange with heated or cooled surfaces is at a minimum. This instrument is easily adapted to remote reading or recording. A group of them may be connected together to give the average velocity in a space, or the velocity at individual points within a test space, by suitable switching arrangements 23. .
Deflecting Vane Anemometer
.
The deflecting vane anemometer consists of a pivoted vane enclosed in a case, against which air exerts a pressure as it passes through the instrument from an up-stream to a down-stream opening; The move ment of the vane is resisted by a hair spring and a damping magnet. The instrument gives instantaneous readings of directional, velocities on an indicating scale. When used in fluctuating velocities, it is necessary to average visually the swings of the needle to obtain average velocities. N This instrument is very useful for studying mixing of air in a room24 and in locating and measuring peak velocities that may be objectionable. Various attachments are available, such as the double tube arrangement for obtaining velocities in ducts, and a device for measuring static pres sures. Each instrument and the attachments for it must receive individual calibration. ,
Propeller or Revolving Vane Anemometer
.
The propeller or revolving vane anemometer consists of a light re volving wheel connected through a gear train to a set of recording dials that read the linear feet of air passing in a measured length of time. It is made in various sizes, 3 in., 4 in., and 6 in. being most common. Each instrument requires individual calibration. At. low velocities the friction drag, of the mechanism is considerable. In order to compensate for this, a gear train that overspeeds is commonly used. For this reason the correction is often additive at the lower range and subtractive at the upper range with the least correction in the middle range of velocities, Most of these are not sensitive enough for use below 200 fpm.
Measurement of Velocities at Inlets and Outlets of Ducts '
.
In the field it is often desirable to make volume measurements at the face of the supply openings. It is rare to have access to the interior of duct sections where the flow is sufficiently uniform for measurement. For accuracy the instrument and. its application should be checked on a similar approach and grille'in the laboratory before use in the field.
Tests have shown that the propeller type anemometer-can be used; successfully on most of the common, types of supply grilles a: ". The core
Instruments and Measurements
209
area is divided into equal squares, and the anemometer is held against the,
face of the grille for the same length of time in each. To get the air
volume in cubic feet per minute, the average corrected velocity in feet per
minute thus obtained is multiplied by the average of the gross and net
free area of the grille (core) in square feet.
.
On exhaust openings, the anemometer traverse is made as described previously. The air volume may be determined by multiplying the corrected velocity in feet per minute by the gross core area of the grille in square feet and by a coefficient for average conditions of 0.85 27.
When a propeller type anemometer is held in a stream of varying velocities, it tends to indicate higher than the true average, that is, the speed of the propeller is nearer to the top velocity in its area than it is to the minimum velocity. This is the main reason for the large difference, in ratings of unit ventilators by the anemometer method and by air volume measurements in a duct approach to the inlet.
Any of the other anemometers described can be used within their range at the face of supply grilles when properly applied. In principle it is a case of finding the velocity at many points and. using the average thus found with the correct discharge area at that cross-section. The deflecting vane anemometer equipped with a jet on the end of a rubber tube has been found especially convenient and accurate on supply grilles29. On modern air conditioning grilles the core area is used without a cor rection coefficient when the jet is held one inch away from the face of the grille. At this distance the constriction due to the thin bars has disappeared since the small air jets have reunited, and the air stream has not yet spread beyond the core dimensions. With deflecting grilles the exploring jet should be turned to the angle giving a maximum reading. With suitable traversing tips and calibration, this instrument may also be used on exhaust grilles if proper grille factors are applied50. -
While hardly a quantitative instrument, smoke is very useful in studying air streams and currents. The application of a more accurate instrument is often made more exact by a preliminary exploration with smoke. A mixture of potassium chlorate and powdered sugar in equal portions gives a very satisfactory non-irritating smoke. It is fired by a. match, and since considerable heat is evolved, it should be placed in a pan away from, inflammable objects.
AIR CHANGE MEASUREMENTS
Atmospheric air contains a certain amount of carbon dioxide. Its
concentration is increased within enclosures by the-carbon dioxide given
off by occupants. The total air change through open windows, infiltra
tion, and mechanical ventilation, may be measured by the carbon dioxide
concentration but absorption of COj by walls and. other materials may
-introduce errors 51 and consequently some investigators prefer hydrogen
to CO2 for such tests. Since occupants also give off moisture, the increase
in humidity may also be used as an index of ventilation within a space.
Usually,more direct methods of measuring air supply and air distribution
are in favor;
. ... ... . .
MEASUREMENT OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY
Wet- and dry-bulb mercurial thermometers are usually-used to deter mine relative humidity. The.sling psychrometer is a common mounting of the thermometers to permit swinging. The wet-bulb wick and water
210
CHAPTER 11
1946 Guide '
for wetting' it must be dean, and the temperature of the water should preferably be slightly above the wet-bulb temperature. An air stream . velodty of 900 fpm is recommended, although higher velocities will result in greater .accuracy 32. This velocity is obtained with the sling psychrometer by whirling it rapidly, followed by reading the wet-bulb" thermometer quickly before its indication changes. Owing to the human element involved in this method, more accurate results are obtained with types of psychrometers in which air is drawn over the. thermometers by a fan, or by a bulb operated aspirator. In ducts, the air flow itself gives the proper evaporating conditions. Several observations should be made until the minimum temperature is reached. Relative humidity may be obtained from tables or psychrometric charts 33. Although it is common practice to use the charts which are based on a barometric pressure of 29.92 in. Hg, a correction for barometric pressure is necessary for extreme accuracy. This correction is.made by multiplying the relative humidity as determined from the chart by the ratio of the observed barometric pressure and the standard barometric pressure. -
For temperatures below 32 F, the water on the wick is allowed to freeze, during which time the temperature will drop below the true wet- ' bulb. A thin film of ice is more desirable than a thick one, and it is ' satisfactory to remove the wick and freeze a. thin film directly on the bulb. Care must be taken to read the temperatures accurately due to the slight wet-bulb depressions. Tables for ice conditions must .be used M.
Dew-point apparatus for humidity measurements consists of a polished plated container cooled by the evaporation of a volatile liquid within: -The temperature at which the first slight water vapor forms on the polished surface is the dew-point. If the temperature is below-32 F, the deposit will appear as frost. Another method of determining humidity is by chemical means in which the water vapor is removed by a drying agent and weighed on a chemical balance. A thermal conductivity method is available for temperatures above 212 F or for extremely low humidities 3S.
DUST DETERMINATION
. The measurement of dust is complicated by. the many kinds involved.
Some of the collecting methods are impingement on viscous surfaces,
impingement at high velocity under water, collection on porous crucibles
or filter paper through which air passes, and electric precipitation. Deter
mination may be by direct weighing of samples Or by microscopic count-
mg. A commonly used method employs the Smith-Greenburg impinger
which collects samples in water or alcohol and in which particles are
counted under a microscope in various cells such as the Hatch or Dunn
cells. Another method employs the Lewis " sampling tube with the
analytical determination of the increase in weight of a porous crucible.
All reports should state the method of sampling and counting. The
A.S.H.V.E. Code for Testing and Rating Air. Cleaning Devices Used in
General .Ventilation Work specifies the porous crucible method 37.

. HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH BUILDING MATERIALS
The A.S.H.V.E. Standard Test Code for HeatTransmission Through Walls 38 describes the construction and use of the guarded hot box for -determining over-all heat transmission coefficients of buiit-up sections including surface resistances. This apparatus consists of inner and outer insulated boxes, each having one open side which is sealed tightly against.

the wall specimen to-be tested. ` The outer box. serves as a guard-and a .
zero temperature difference is maintained-between ,the inner-box;and-. .
the air space: separating it from-the! outer box.- Electric heaters are ..
provided: to. maintain'any desired-.temperature within the boxes while :
at the same, time the outer surface, of the wall specimen is subjected
to a low temperature:. A common method of applying this low tempera^
ture is to fit the specimen into an opening in the wall of a refrigerated
room. The air temperature: difference - between the two sides of the
specimen, and the. rate of heat input to the guarded hot box are
measured, from which data an over-all heat flow coefficient can be
calculated.
The Nicholls heat meter is very useful for determining the heat flow '
through walls of buildings This apparatus consists of a guarded plate .
on both sides of which are mounted a series of thermocouples. `The plate -
is calibrated so fhat the rate of heat flow through it can be determined by
observing the temperature difference between the two surfaces. In use,
the meter is clamped tightly against the surface of the wall in question,
and readings of heat flow of accuracy sufficient for. many test purposes
may be obtained. ;
>, ; :
.
In June 1942, the A.S.H.V.E. adopted a standard test procedure for
determining the conductivity of materials' by iise. of the guarded hot .
plate40. This method is adapted to homogeneous materials, arid-con
ductivities obtained do. not include surface coefficients. The method
involved, is one in which-two identical samples are arranged one on each
side of a heated plate having a guard and a central test section. The re- .
suiting sandwich.is placed between cold plates. In operation the same
temperature is maintained in the guard section and test section of the
heated plate .and a lower temperature is maintained in each of. the cold
plates from a common source of cold water. Thermal conductivity is '
determined by measuring the amount of heat supplied to the center or
guarded portion of the hot plate, the temperatures at the hot and cold
surfaces and the thickness of the specimen. The apparatus requires
careful, precise construction and its operation requires care and skill.. ,.
The actual design of basic types of hot plates is described in an A.S.T.M.

factors as they relate to the coirifort of the body43. The principal ones are
the Kata-thermometer, Dufton's eupatheoscope, Vernon's globe ther
mometer, Winslow and Greenburg's thermo-integrator, and Yaglou's

COMBUSTION ANALYSIS
:
The. analysis of flue gases to determine completeness and efficiency of combustion is usually made chemically-with an Orsat apparatus. This consists of a measuring burette, a leveling bottle, and three pipettes. Carbon dioxide is absorbed in the first pipette by potassium hydroxide, oxygen in the second by potassium pyrogallate, and,carbon monoxide in: the third by cuprous chloride. A known volume of gas is drawn in, and
212
. CHAPTER 11
' '1946 Guide
after each of the three absorptions the reduced volume is again measured in the burette. Pressure and temperature of the gas sample are kept constant while measuring. Several passes are made through each pipette which contains tubes or glass beads to increase the wetted surface. _ It js essential that each reaction be completed before the next reaction is started. Since the life of the reagents is limited, it is well to keep a record , of the number of samples tested. Care is needed in operation to prevent the pulling of reagents out of the pipettes into the capillary tubing and burette. Many types of recording gas analyzers are available and are usually found in the larger boiler plants.
Carbon Monoxide Measurement
. ,'
A method of analyzing for low carbon monoxide concentrations com pletes the oxidation of the carbon monoxide in a known volume of sample, in the presence of a catalyst. The heat resulting is measured by a thermocouple calibrated in parts per 10,000 of carbon monoxide45.

Relation of Air Conditioning Needs to Metabolism
VENTILATION is defined in part as the process of supplying air to, or removing air from, any space by natural or mechanical means. The word in itself implies quantity but not necessarily quality. From the standpoint of. comfort and health, however, the problem is now considered to be one of securing air of the proper quality rather than of supplying only a given quantity.
The term air conditioning in its broadest sense implies control of any or all of the physical or chemical qualities of the air. When applied to ' " comfort air conditioning, however, the A.S.H.V.E. Code of Minimum Requirements for Comfort Air Conditioning1 defines it "as the process by which simultaneously the temperature, moisture content, movement and quality of the air in enclosed spaces intended for human occupancy may be maintained within required limits. If ah installation cannot perform all of these functions, ifshall be designated by a name that describes only the function or functions performed."
CHEMICAL VITIATION OF AIR
, Under the artificial conditions of indoor life, the air undergoes certain
physical and chemical changes which are brought about by the occupants
. themselves. The oxygen content is somewhat reduced, and the carbon
dioxide slightly increased by the respiratory processes. Organic matter,
which is usually perceived as odors,.comes from the nose, mouth, skin
and clothing. The temperature of the air is increased by the metabolic
processes, and the humidity raised by the moisture emitted from the skin
and lungs.
'
Contrary to old. theories, the usual changes in oxygen and carbon
dioxide are of no physiological concern because they are too small to
produce appreciable effects even under the worst conditions of, normal
. human occupancy. Only in such unusually air-tight enclosures as sub
marines and some air raid shelters need the increase in carbon dioxide and
the reduction in oxygen be considered.. The amount of carbon dioxide in
air is often used as an index of odors of human origin, but the information
it affords rarely justifies the labor involved in making .the observation2> *.
Little is known of the identity and physiological effects of the organic
matter given off in the process of respiration. The former belief that the
discomfort experienced in confined spaces was due to some toxic volatile ,
matter in the expired air is now limited, in . the light of numerous re
searches, to the much less dogmatic view that the presence of such, a
substance has not been demonstrated. The only certain fact is'that
expired air may be odorous, offensive, and capable of producing loss of.
_ appetite and a'disinclination for physical activity. Objectionable body
,. dors have the: same effects. These,reasons, whether esthetic or physio
logical, usually make it desirable in the design of air conditioning systems,

to provide for the elimination or control of odors arising from occupancy, cooking, or other sources. This may be accomplished by introducing odor-free air in sufficient quantities to reduce odor concentrations by dilution to a level which is not objectionable. Odor-free air may be outdoor air or air which has been cleared of odors by sorption, washing, or other appropriate means.
In the case of vitiation by a few hazardous gases such as carbon mon
oxide from heating, cooking, and certain industrial processes, no satis
factory chemical treatment for the elimination of the impurity has been
found. The only really satisfactory solution is elimination at the source
by local exhaust ventilation; or, if this is impossible, reduction to a safe
concentration by dilution. (See Chapter 10.) In the case of contami
nation by other matter, including volatile vapors and gases, chemical
treatment for the removal or reduction of the impurities has been made
available through air cleaning methods, which are discussed in Chapter 33
on Air Cleaning Devices.
'
When the only source of contamination is the human occupant, the
minimum quantity of outdoor air needed appears to be that required'
to remove objectionable body odors, or tobacco smoke. The concen
tration of body odor in a room, in turn, depends upon a number of factors,
including the dietary and Hygienic habits of the occupants (frequently
reflecting their socio-economic status), the outdoor air supply, air space
allowed per person, odor adsorbing capacity of air conditioning processes,
and temperature and relative humidity. Perception of odor has been
found to vary as the logarithmic function of the odor intensity, or inversely
with the logarithmic function of the amount of outdoor air supplied,
and the air space per person.
'
The relation between air supply and occupancy has been reported by,
the Harvard School of Public Health 3 and the A.S.H.V.E. Research
Laboratory 2. The findings from the Harvard study are given in Table 1.
Outdoor air requirements for removal'of objectionable tobacco smoke
odors are not accurately known but available information and current
practice indicate the need of 15 cfm per person or more.
'
. The total quantity of outside air to be circulated through an enclosure is governed by both chemical and physical considerations. The physical requirements for controlling temperature, air distribution and air velocity usually predominate. Other factors which must be taken into consideration include the type and usage of the building, locality, climate, height of rooms, floor area, window area, extent of occupancy, and the operation of the system distributing the air supply. Frequently, some of these factors, particularly the need for air movement and good distribu tion, may be satisfied by recirculation of inside rather than by outside air.
It will be noted that, with adequate air space, the rate of air change indicated in Table 1 is from 10 to 30 cfm per person. In rooms occupied by only a few persons such a rate of air change will be automatically attained in cold weather by normal leakage around doors and windows, while it can easily be secured in warm weather by the opening of windows. With a space allotment of 400 cu ft per person, only V/i air changes per hour are necessary to provide an air change of 10 cfm per person.
. Therefore, in the ordinary dwelling with adequate cubic space allot ment, no special provision for controlling chemical purity of the air is necessary (aside from removal of fumes from heating appliances). For

such conditions, the control of air temperature is the major factor to be
considered. .
.
In more crowded rooms (large offices, large workrooms, auditoriums), the whole picture changes. Cubic space per person is less and it is usually impossible to admit untempered outside air without creating drafts. Here, mechanical .ventilation is essential, but as will be noted in . a later paragraph, it is even more essential for thermal than for chemical reasons. It is control of the thermal properties of the air in order to effect the removal of the heat produced by human bodies, rather than* control of chemical properties, which must govern practice.
The present data regarding the effect of cubic space on ventilation
requirements are not universally accepted. It is anticipated that studies
now in progress under the auspices of the armed forces may yield addi
tional information on the subject. .
"
The Code of Minimum Requirements-for Comfort Air Conditioning !
prescribes definite minimum requirements which should be familiar to the
designing engineer. It should be emphasized, however, that the pro
visions of the code aim to provide minimum, rather than adequate,
requirements.
' ..
' Notwithstanding the rapid advance in the field of air conditioning during the past few years; there still remain those who believe in a superior, stimulating quality of outdoor air (particularly country, moun tain and .seashore air) under ideal, weather conditions, as compared with

'. properly conditioned air. While this point of view is usually held by , persons not intimately acquainted with the complicated factors involved, r" they nevertheless carry some weight. It is apparent, however, to anyone
i acquainted with the factors involved and the conditions effecting comfort, that in modern air conditioning, as in most other branches of engineering, < modern science makes it possible to control the phenomena of nature for ` the service and comfort of man beyond any possibilities found in nature
itself. When the requirements for optimum'comfort as determined by the atmospheric environment are known (and the comprehensive studies to date indicate that they are known at least to a high degree), the air conditioning engineer can supply these requirements indoors to the same perfection as may accidentally be found at times outdoors, and keep them . under control. The freedom of movement, action and thought, together with the variability of stimulae experienced by persons under ideal ' conditions in the country, mountains or seashore, and the psychological effect of these wide open spaces undoubtedly have some stimulating effect, which when compared with the monotony of confinement indoors, even in the most favorable atmospheric environment, account for the contrast-. Various experimenters have attempted to duplicate the invigorating qualities of outdoor air by the use of ozone, ionization, or ultra-violet ' light, but results to date have been inconclusive dr negative 6.
Ozone has been used with success for the destruction of micro-organisms . (molds) in meat packing establishments and the like; and where con
siderable amounts of organic effluvia are present it may be useful as a deodorant. For ordinary ventilation practice! however, neither of these purposes can be attained, since the concentration of ozone necessary for effectiveness would be likely to transcend the limit of comfort in ordinary occupied rooms. While ozone has been used in the treatment of certain diseases, there is no evidence that it has a tendency to increase comfort or - to benefit health under conditions of normal human occupancy. The - allowable concentrations in the breathing zone are very small, between 0.01 to 0.05 ppm parts of air. These, are much too small to influence; ' bacteria.' Higher concentrations are associated with a pungent unpleasant , .odor and considerable, discomfort to the occupants. One part per million causes respiratory discomfort, headaches, depression,' and a lowering of the metabolic rate, and may even lead to coma 6.

PHYSICAL IMPURITIES IN AIR
' Dust particles of various types, when present in- considerable con centrations, produce an irritating effect .upon the mucous membranes of nose and throat and may be associated with high prevalence of acute respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Dust which -contains free silica has special harmful effects, causing a primary disease of the'liings (silicosis) and predisposing the victim'in a high degree, to tuberculosis. These, however, are special problems of industrial hygiene which will not be discussed in detail in this chapter. (See Chapter 10:)
' A certain part of the dissemination of disease in confined spaces is caused by'the emission of pathogenic organisms from infected persons. Droplets sprayed into the air in talking, coughing, sneezing, etc.; do'not all fall immediately to the ground within a few feet from the source, as was . formerly believed. The large droplets fall, but minute droplets less than 0.1 mm in diameter evaporate to dryness before they fall the height, of a.man. Nuclear residues from such sources, which, may contain infective organisms drift long distances with the air currents and the

virus may remain-alive long enough to: be transmitted to other persons
in the same room or building. Droplet nuclei have been recovered from
cultures of resistant micro-organisms-a week after introduction into a
tight chamber of 3000 cu ft capacity, although' the majority of .disease
germs died out within a few hours7. Practical epidemiological-evidence
indicates that the danger of such atmospheric transmission is slight with
the bacterial diseases but may be appreciable with the diseases caused by .
the much smaller viruses. Avoidance of overcrowding is a major factor
in avoiding such dangers. The microbic concentration in the atmosphere
may be reduced by air. change, but. since the rate'of contamination, may
be great at local points over short periods of time the hazardous concentra
tion may not be eliminated quickly enough and may even be spread.1 over;
larger areas by local drafts. The possibility of sterilizing the air supply
at the source, or destroying the micro-organisms at their-point of admis
sion to the air by the use of ultra-violet light8 or glycol vapors9 is being'
studied and'offers considerable promise. .
.... ..
While in some instances it may be possible to reduce the physical impurities of the air by dilution from a non-contaminated. source, such non-contaminated sources are rarely available. Frequently the outside air contains a higher concentration of physical impurities than that within an enclosure. Therefore, it is usually desirable to reduce the concentra tion of physical impurities by air cleaning methods (see Chapter 33).
THERMAL INTERCHANGES BETWEEN THE BODY
AND ITS ENVIRONMENT
.
. .
The importance of the thermal factors arises from-the profound in
fluence which they exert upon body temperature, comfort and health:
Body temperature depends upon the balance between heat production
and heat loss. The heat resulting from the oxidation which occurs within
the body (metabolism) maintains the body temperature well above that
of .the surrounding air in a cool or cold'environment. At the same time,
heat is constantly lost from the body by radiation, convection and.
evaporation. Since, under ordinary conditions, th,e body temperature is maintained at its normal level of about 98.6 F, the heat production must'
be balanced by the.heat loss. .
.
-.
..In.conditioning air for comfort and health it is necessary to know the
rate of. sensible and latent heat liberation from the human body, which in
conjunction with other heat loads-(see Chapters 6,. 14 and 15) determines
the capacity required for proper conditioning. The data in common: use
are those of the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory10. :

The fundamental thermodynamic processes concerned in . heat inter
changes between the body and its environment may be described by

Factor M, the rate of metabolism, is always positive. The storage, S, may be either positive or negative, depending upon whether heat is being

stored or given off, accompanied by a rise or fall in body temperature. Under ordinary circumstances (when the dew-point of the air is below the body surface temperature) the evaporation loss, E, is always positive;, that is, heat from metabolism supplies this loss, R and C are positive when the surface temperature of the body is above that of the walls and air, and negative when it is cooler.
The human body possesses remarkable powers of adaptation to a
narrow range of atmospheric conditions around an ideal optimum where
storage is zero, and metabolism and skin and tissue temperature are at
optimum values. Under these conditions, the body experiences a sensa
tion of comfort. As skin temperature and body-tissue temperature rise
or fall above or below an optimum, complex adaptive mechanisms come
into play, chiefly associated with redistribution of blood supply between
the skin and deeper tissues (in a cold environment) and with sweat
secretion (in a hot environment). These reactions are governed by nervous
or chemical stimuli from both skin arid internal tissues. Nerves from the
skin, for example, carry the sense impressions to the brain and the
response comes back over another set of nerves, the motor nerves, to the
musculature and to all the .active tissues in the body, including the
endocrine glands. In this way, a two-sided mechanism controls the body
temperature by (1) regulation of internal heat production (chemical
regulation), and (2) regulation of heat loss by means of automatic varia
tion in the rate of cutaneous circulation and the operation of the sweat
glands (physical regulation). The reactions involved in cold and in hot
environments are on the whole radically different in nature. The mech
anisms of adjustment involved are extremely complex and, while they
are receiving considerable study, a complete understanding of their
operation is still lacking.
'.
. -.
Some of the phenomena of body temperature control are shown
graphically in Fig. 1. The dotted curves, from a study at the John B.
Pierce Laboratory of Hygiene11, are for subjects lightly clothed in a semi-
reclining position and give the relation between the dry-bulb temperature
of the environment (with about 45 per cent relative humidity) and the
metabolic rate, the rate of heat dissipation by radiation and convection
combined, and the latent heat loss due to evaporation of perspiration
and moisture from the respiratory tract. The smooth line curves from
the work of the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory 10 give the same
relationships for healthy, male subjects (18 to 24 years of age), seated at
rest and normally clothed for winter-heated and air conditioned occu
pancy. The data for the semi-reclining subjects also include the rate of
heat storage (either positive or negative) due to a rise or fall in body
temperature. For the normally clothed subjects, a curve gives the total
heat loss (that is, the sum of the radiation, convection and evaporative
losses). Here, storage is given by the difference between the metabolism
and total heat loss.
-
The small difference between the metabolic or heat production rates for the two types of subjects may be accounted for by the difference in activity. Heat exchange between the body and the environment by radiation and convection is greater for the lightly clothed subject, both for cool con ditions where there is considerable heat loss, and for very warm conditions where there is sensible transfer from the atmosphere to the body. The two curves for evaporative loss serve to show how physiological control uses evaporation of perspiration to maintain equilibrium, particularly at high temperatures. Below about 75 F for the normally clothed subject,
Physiological Principles
221
and below about 85 F for the lightly clothed subject, evaporation loss is minimal and probably due to uncontrolled evaporation from the relatively dry skin and from the respiratory tract. Above these temperatures con trol is obtained by the availability of perspiration for evaporation. The difference in the curves above 75 F is probably largely determined by the difference in clothing and activity. Above temperatures from 95 to 100 F (the probable average outside surface temperature of the clothed body) the combined effect of radiation and convection causes a change from positive to negative. Slightly above this temperature even the greatly increased latent heat loss ceases to take care of the rate of heat production plus the negative radiation and convection loss, and heat storage occurs with a consequent rise in body. temperature. Above this range, even
Fig. 1. Relation Between Metabolism, Storage, Evaporation, Radiation Plus Convection, and Operative Temperature for the Clothed Subject
though there is inability to dissipate heat rapidly enough, metabolism actually increases. This may be accounted for by the predominance of the purely chemical laws of increased chemical reaction with rise in' temperature, over physiological control, and indicates the point where a breakdown in thermal equilibrium begins. For'higher, temperatures life can only, survive to the point where these accelerated processes will result in a rise in body temperature to the limiting level of from 106 to 108 F.
Air movement is an important factor in increasing heat loss by either convection or evaporation. The result is accomplished through removal of hot humid air from near the body surface and replacing it with cooler and relatively drier air. This-is an important factor in maintaining thermal equilibrium either for persons at rest or at work in hot, humid conditions. For conditions in the comfort zone and'below, excessive velocities (particularly localized drafts) should be avoided since differ ential cooling of one area of the body may produce surprisingly unpleasant, reactions in quite different parts of the body. In one experiment12 it was shown that the application of an ice pack to an area of 60 sq cm.'on the back of the neck for 15 min caused a drop of 17 F in the skin temperature

' .
ADAPTATION TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
As stated previously, the optimum environmental conditions for com fort are those under which the body can maintain complete thermal equilibrium with only minor adjustments in blood, distribution. As . conditions depart from the optimum, more drastic adjustments are made by the body in its attempt to maintain equilibrium, and the sensation of comfort gives way to one of.increasing discomfort. If conditions.are too severe, adequate adjustments may be impossible, and prolonged exposure may result in serious injury or death.
In a cold environment the blood vessels leading, to the surface are
constricted, thus decreasing the flow of blood and heat to the skin, and
reducing the radiation and convection losses from it. If this adjustment
is insufficient, an involuntary muscular activity (shivering) takes place
which increases the metabolism. The range over which these physiologi
cal controls are effective is rather narrow, and .man's existence in cold
climates is dependent upon his-ability to provide himself with heated
' living quarters and warm clothes.
During the last few years extensive research has been carried on by and for the armed services of the United Nations to determine the proper types and amounts of clothing for a wide range of conditions. The results of these studies are now being released and should add greatly to our knowledge on the subject.
As man's environment changes from cool or comfortable to warm, the
' body first attempts to adjust to the new conditions-by a redistribution of
the blood circulation. Blood capillaries near the surface become dilated,
. allowing more blood to flow to the skin, thus raising the skin temperature -
and increasing the radiation and convection losses from the body. If this
correction proves inadequate, the stimulus is extended to the sweat glands
which cause progressively greater portions of the body area to become
moist or wet as conditions become more severe. The evaporation of this .
moisture from the body surface provides the body with its most effective
method of cooling, but even this fails when the dew-point temperature
of the air becomes so high that rapid evaporation is no longer possible.
Although -the body is able, by evaporative cooling, to maintain complete
thermal balance under conditions of moderate excess, it does so only at
the cost of considerable discomfort. -
\-
.
Studies at the John B. Pierce laboratory of Hygiene 13 have indicated
the relation!between discomfort and the degree of wetting of the body
surface by perspiration for lightly clothed subjects in a semi-reclining
position, and the investigators there have designated this as the zone of
evaporative regulation. The relation between sensible perspiration and
the atmospheric environment for normal persons at rest and at work-
has-been determined at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory 10.

HIGH TEMPERATURE HAZARDS

Physiological Principles-
223
interest has been termed air conditioning in industry, or the effects of hot atmospheres in industrial hygiene, and is a growing factor in air conditioning applications. Table 2 gives some of the,physiological responses of men at rest and at work, to hot environments. Physiological studies 16 indicated that frequent and continued exposure of workers to hot environments results in physiological derangement affecting the leucocyte count of the blood, and other factors dealing with man's mechanism of defense against infection. .
In hot environments the blood is diverted from the internal'organs to the surface capillaries, in order to serve in the process of cooling. This affects the stomach, heart, lungs and other.vital organs, and it is suggested that the feeling of lassitude and discomfort experienced is due in part to the anaemic condition of the brain. The stomach loses some of its power

(high fever) (See Fig. 2). If the hyperthermia becomes excessive, the
liver and the central nervous system may be seriously injured and
this damage may prove fatal. The hazards of jiigh temperature are not
understood. It is difficult to say whether short exposures at high tem
peratures are more harmful than longer exposures at lower temperatures.
A new concept is evident from the observation of an increase in leucocytes
' (white cells) of the blood in workers subjected to high temperatures..
These leucocytes are defensive factors which are increased when infection
invades the body. A rise in temperature and leucocyte count indicates
a mobilization of the body defenses. Since both' temperature and cell
count are increased20, the question arises as to whether long exposures
to very high-temperatures might not cause exhaustion of these defense
mechanisms.

hr at the rate of 3 mph, carrying 20 lb packs. Tests were made under a
wide range' of environmental conditions, and these environments were
rated in 3. zones as relatively easy, difficult, and impossible, on the basis
of the physiological reactions of the subjects at the end of the 4 hr

Recognition of the need of air conditioning for workers in hot indus tries is growing rapidly and this should become an important field for the air conditioning, engineer. The hot conditions may be remedied by any of the recognized comfort cooling applications. The choice of the type Of system and cycle to be used in a given instance must be determined by the air conditioning engineer.after a study of surrounding conditions. `
In some hot industries where a small number of workers are engaged in spaces of large volumetric capacity the worker himself, rather than the

entire environment, can be cpoled by placing him in a small cooled and ventilated booth, by blowing cooled air over him, or by circulating cooled air through a loose-fitting suit22.
ACCLIMATIZATION
Acclimatization and the factor of psychology are two important
influences in air conditioning which cannot be ignored. The first is man's
ability to adapt himself to changes in air conditions; the second is an
intangible matter of habit and suggestion.
'
.
Some persons regard the unnecessary endurance of cold as a virtue. They believe that the human organism can adapt itself to a wide range of air conditions with no apparent discomfort or injury to health. In the light of present knowledge of air conditioning these views are not justified. Acclimatization to extreme conditions involves a' strain upon the heat regulating system and interferes with the normal physiologic functions of the human body. Thousands of years in the heat of Africa do not seem
to have acclimatized the Negro to a temperature exceeding 80 F. The same holds true of northern races with respect to cold, although the effects are. mitigated by artificial control. An environment averaging 64 F for the 24-hour period has been indicated as associated with minimal mortality23.
. Within limits, however, there dpes occur a definite adaptation to ex ternal temperature level. People and anifnals raised under conditions of. tropical moist heat stand chilling poorly as they,are unable quickly to increase internal combustion to keep up the body temperature. For this reason they have trouble standing the cold, stormy weather of the tem perate zones, and when exposed to it are very susceptible to respiratory infections. Likewise, people living in icool climates suffer greatly in the moist heat of the tropics until their adaptive mechanism has been adj usted. Within a few years, however, they find themselves reacting as natives . to the new environment.
. The. adaptive level changes tomewhat with the season 24. There are
also marked differences between the sexes. In the cold zone the thickness
of thermal insulating tissues of women is almost double that of men,
although the. sensory responses to cold are similar. In the hot zone, the
threshold of sweating'and skin temperature levels are higher for women.
The thickness and insulating value of the clothing worn is also an import
ant factor in the determination of the- comfort level.
. In recent tests made at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory a, sub jects were required to perform .light work under very hot conditions for a four hour period each day. It was found that the ability of a new subject , to endure these conditions showed daily improvement for a period of at least two weeks. However, after acclimatization wais completed, a recess of several days had no effect on the endurance of the subject.
EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE INDEX
The primary purpose, of comfort air conditioning is to provide an environment in which the body can easily maintain, its thermal equili-' brium, and thereby experience a: feeling of-comfort. It is important,

therefore, that the designing engineer know what conditions are necessary
for comfort.
' ..
Sensations of warmth or cold depend, not only on the temperature of.
the surrounding air as registered by a dfy-bulb thermometer, but also
upon the temperature indicated by a wet-biilb thermometer., upon air
movement and upon radiation effects. - Dry air at a relatively high
temperature may feel cooler than air of considerably lower temperature
with a high moisture'content. Air motion makes any moderate condition
feel cooler. Radiation to cold or from warm surfaces is another important
factor- under certain conditions.
...
Combinations of temperature, humidity, and air movement which
induce the same feeling of warmth are called thermo-equivalen t condi-
lions. A series of studies 26 at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory
established the equivalent conditions met with in general air conditioning,
work. This scale of thermo-equivalent conditions not only indicates the
sensation of warmth, but also to a considerable degree determines the
physiological effects on the body induced by heat or cold. For this reason,
it is called the effective temperature scale or index, and it denotes sensory
heat level.
..
'
Effective temperature is an empirically determined index of the degree of warmth perceived on-exposure to different combinations of temperature, humidity, and air movement.; It was determined by trained subjects who compared the relative warmth of various air conditions in two adjoining conditioned rooms by passing back and forth from one room to the other.
The numerical value of the index for any given air conditions is fixed
by the temperature of slowly moving (15 to 25 fpm air movement)
saturated air which induces a like sensation.of warmth or cold. Thus, any
air condition has an effective temperature of .6.0 deg, when it induces a
sensation of warmth like that experienced in slowly moving air at 60 deg
saturated with moisture. The effective temperature index cannot be
measured directly but is determined from dry- and wet-bulb temperature
and air motion observations by reference to an Effective Temperature
Chart (see Figs. 4, 5.and 6) or tables.
,
Fig. 4 gives the effective temperature for any combination of dry- and wet-bulb temperatures for still air (15 to 25 fpm) conditions. Charts similar to Fig. 4 for air velocities of 300 and 500 fpm have been presented in some of the earlier editions of the Guide. Fig. 5 is another form of effective temperature chart embodying all three variables; dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures, and air velocity. '
As stated previously, effective temperature is an index of the degree of warmth experienced by the.body. An effective temperature line is, there fore, a. line defining the various combinations of conditions which will induce like sensations of warmth.. It does not necessarily follow that like . sensations of comfort will also be experienced along the entire length of an effective temperature line. Some degree of discomfort is likely to be' experienced at very high or very low relative humidities, regardless of the effective temperature. It has also been found that the optimum effective temperature varies with the season, and is lower in winter than in summer.
Fig. 6, commonly referred to as the Comfort Chart27, is an effective temperature chart on which the summer and winter comfort zones have been indicated. These zones indicate the various combinations of con ditions under which 50 per cent or more of the people are comfortable. Curves showing the percentage of subjects comfortable at each effective

temperature in summer'and winter have been added to the chart. The;, summer comfort zone is indicated as extending from 66 ET to 75 ET with a maximum of 98 per cent comfortable at 71 ET. The winter comfort zone extends from 63 ET to 71 ET with a maximum of 97 per cent comfortable at 66 ET. The 71 ET and 66 ET lines are referred to, .respectively, as the summer and winter comfort lines.
The comfort zones and lines as shown in Fig. 6 are based on research prior to 1932. Later studies 28 by the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory
Physiological Principles
229
GRAINS OF MOISTURE PER POUND OF DRY AIR
indicate a desirable winter effective temperature of 67 deg, and this finding is confirmed by current practice. The shape of the curve showing the per cent of subjects comfortable in winter also justifies this conclusion, since a drop of only one degree from the 66 ET line seriously reduced the percentage of subjects comfortable.
The comfort zones in Fig. 6 are located between the 30 per cent and 70 per cent relative humidity lines. There is some evidence that the zones could be extended somewhat beyond these, limitations.
. It should be emphasized that a satisfactory system will not necessarily result by designing for just any combination of conditions within the .boundaries of the comfort zone. As pointed out, the comfort zone.covers all conditions under which 50 per cent or more of the subjects were com- ' fortable. An air conditioning system which leaves 50 per cent of the

rooni itself and objects within the room, including windows, heating and cooling equipment, and other occupants, has an important bearing, on the feeling of warmth and may alter to some measurable degree the optimum conditions for comfort previously indicated. Fig. 7 29 shows the elevation in the dry-bulb temperature of the air necessary to compensate for the lower temperature ofcthree of four side-wall surfaces, and indicates that for this condition each degree reduction in the average of the three wail surface temperatures requires an elevation of 0.3 deg in the dry-bulb temperature of the air. Studies by the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory 28 .on the effect of radiation within an enclosure, including the effect of panel heatingT indicate that each degree elevation or depression of the mean

Applica tion of winter comfort line is further limited to rooms heated by central station systems of the convection type. The line does not apply to rooms heated by radiant methods. Application of summer comfort line is limited to homes, offices and the like, where the occupants become fully adapted to the artificial air con-' ditionsT The line does not apply to theaters, department stores, and the like where the exposure is less than 3 hours. The optimum summer comfort line shown pertains to Pitmburgh and to other cities in the northern -portion of the United Stated and Southern Canada, and at elevations not in excess of 1000 ft above sea level.

The results of recent tests 25 made at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Labora
tory in very hot conditions with subjects doing light work.were'in very
close agreement with the effective temperature chart. Other recent work21
under similar environmental conditions, but with subjects walking 3. mph
and carrying 20 lb packs indicated that the effective temperature lines
should be more nearly, horizontal. It therefore appears that the slope
of the ET lines may vary depending upon the rate of work being per
formed.
"
Radiation between the occupant of an enclosure and the surfaces.of the

radiant temperature above or below the air temperature requires about
0.5 deg counterchange in effective temperature of the air. Since the
mean radiant temperature of a space is affected by cold walls and win
dows, as well as by the warm surfaces of heating units placed within the '
room or imbedded in the walls, these factors' must. be compensated.
Likewise, in densely occupied spaces, such as classrooms, theaters'and
auditoriums, temperatures somewhat lower than, those indicated 'by.
the comfort line may be desirable because of counter-radiation between
the bodies of occupants in close proximity to each other. Such radiation
will also elevate the mean radiant temperature of the room.
''More recent tests25 made at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory
indicate that for high effective temperatures the correction in ET neces
sary per degree rise in mean radiant temperature is'not a constant, but
varies with the values of effective temperature and mean radiant tem
perature. At effective temperatures near the upper limit of human
endurance, the' effect of radiant heat is very small. Additional studies
on the physiological effects of radiant heating are contemplated. ' -
232
CHAPTER 12
1946 Guide
A long series of studies have been made to determine the optimum effective temperature for comfort of normal persons in both winter and . summer- air conditioned space, in different geographical regions and for different age groups of men and women. A group of these studies30 was made between 1935 and 1940 by the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory in Pittsburgh, and in several metropolitan districts of^he United States andCanada in cooperation with the managements.of offices employing large numbers of workers. Some of the results are shown in Fig. 8. Taking all of these studies together, women of all age groups studied indicate an ' average effective temperature for comfort 1.1 deg higher than for men. All men and women, beyond the age of 40 years, show an average desire
Fig. 8. Relation Between Effective Temperature and Percentage Observations Indicating Comfort
for ,0.9 deg ET. higher than, those below this age, while the men and
women,-respectively, beyond 40 desired effective temperatures of 0-8 and
1.2 deg higher than those below 40. The persons serving in all of these
studies were representative of office workers clothed for air conditioned
space in the summer season and engaged in the customary sedentary
activity of office workers.
. ' '.
On the basis of present knowledge, for different geographical regions and age groups, the total spread in optimum comfort conditions ranges from a low of 66 deg ET for winter heating and air conditioning, to a high
of 73 deg ET for summer cooling and air conditioning.
The spread for summer cooling and air conditioning for optimum com
fort is confined entirely to an effective temperature range of from '69 to
' 73 deg; and it may be presumed that for winter conditioning a like spread
wouid exist; while for inter-seasonal conditions there will be a fluctuation,
between these two ranges.
. ..
Physiological Principles
233
. Laboratory studies 28 indicate that for the average individual a tem
perature change of about 3 deg ET is required to change a: person's
sensation from ideally comfortable to cool or warm. From this it may be
observed that necessary variations in the effective temperature of air
conditioned space for optimum comfort for most persons need little differ
entiation for either the winter season or the summer season, and not more
than about 4 deg on the average between seasons.
-
Acclimatization and habits of clothing and diet account for these
variations. An analysis 31 of most of the material published up to 1942,
made by the A.S.H.V.E. Technical Advisory Committee on Sensations
of Comfort, indicates a spread of approximately 3 deg in the optimum
effective temperature for summer cooling and air conditioning due to
geographical location. However, it should be recognized that variations
in sensation of. comfort among individuals may be greater for any given
location, as shown in Fig. 8, than variations due to a difference in geo
graphical location. The available information indicates rather clearly
that changes in weather conditions over a period of a few days do not
acclimate people to a desire for different indoor conditions, but in general,
people experiencing low temperatures over an extended period of time
become acclimated to desiring lower indoor temperatures, while those
experiencing higher temperatures become acclimated to a desire for higher
indoor temperatures. It is obvious that a person spending a considerable
portion of his time in space conditioned to his comfort will become
acclimated to his indoor, environment. While few people spend more,
than a small percentage of the total time within an air conditioned
enclosure, there is some evidence that persons experiencing summer
comfort air conditioning a large part of the time tend to become acclimated
to about 70 or 71 deg ET.
_
The sudden sensation of coldness felt by persons entering a cooled and air conditioned space during the summer months, and often referred to as shock, may at times be important. It is due to the rapid evapora tion of perspiration which accumulated on the skin during previous subjection to hot and humid, outside conditions. While studies32 have shown that for healthy individuals this shock is usually a pleasant ex perience, it is plausible, but not proven, that under some conditions it may result in unpleasant or even'harmful cooling. Where a large number of occupants may enter for only a short'time, 15 min or less, such occu
pants may-be satisfied with less cooling. For -long occupancy very little deviation from the optimum effective temperature is desirable. :
An exit shock when leaving air. conditioned space and entering, a warm-
atmosphere is equally plausible. Experiments at the A.S.H.VIE."Research! Laboratory 83 indicated no demonstrable harm to a healthy individual: Complete acclimatization occurred as soon as normal perspiration was established, in 5 to 15 min and mild exercise shortened the time required.
Satisfactory comfort conditions for persons at work 34 are found to vary depending upon the rate of work and the amount of clothing worn. Iri general, the greater the degree of activity, the lower the effective tempera ture necessary for optimum comfort. However; work by the A.S.H.V.E: Research Laboratory 35 indicates that under certain conditions moderate' activity on the part of a person standing up and moving about may result in a slightly higher optimum effective temperature than for a person seated at rest, because of the larger body surface area exposed for heat elimination and the increase in 'effective air movement over, his body.' Where few workers occupy a large space in hot industries,-work by -the

prehensive studies by the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory 30 in coopera
tion with office staffs in widely distributed regions, including San Antonio,
Minneapolis, Washington, D. C., and New York City (see Fig. 7), show
conclusively that lower effective temperatures are required for optimum
comfort.
-
The sensation of comfort, insofar as the physical environment is con cerned, is not absolute but varies considerably among certain individuals. Therefore, in applying,the air conditions indicated, it should not be, expected that all the occupants of a room will feel perfectly comfortable.
Fig. 12. . Chart for Determining Surface Area of Individuals for Height and Weight Given
However, when optimum comfort temperatures are applied in accordance
with foregoing recommendations, the majority of the occupants should
be comfortable, and it should be expected that there, will be a few too
warm and a few too cold. These individual differences among the min
ority should be counteracted by suitable clothing.
'
RELATION OF AIR CONDITIONING NEEDS TO METABOLISM
To maintain optimum conditions in summertime requires the removal,
of heat from the conditioned space. In calculating the cooling load it is
always necessary to consider the heat given up'by the occupants. In
theaters or similarly densely populated spaces, the occupants may con-.
tribute the greater part of the total load.
.
The metabolic rate varies with the size of the individual, with the rate of work being performed, and at extreme conditions, with the environ ment. The relative proportions of sensible and latent heat given off also yary widely. The curves in Fig. 9 show the total heat loss (sensible plus.latent) from the average man for four different rates of work. Heatloss iii this figure is plotted against effective temperature. . Figs, lOand 11 give the sensible and latent losses for the same four work rates,, plotted against dry-bulb temperature. By proper interpolation, it is possible

"These metabolic rates were compiled by the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory from actual tests, from other authoritative sources, and from estimates based upon various considerations. ^ Division of .the total heat dissipation into latent and sensible rates is based on actual test data and on various considerations for metabolic rates up to 1250 Btu per hour, and extrapolated for. higher rates. Values for total beat dissipa tion for a person at rest apply for a dry-bulb temperature range from approximately 60 to 90 F;-for other than rest conditions the values apply for a similar but lower temperature range. Below these temperature ranges metabolic rates and total rates of heat dissipation increase, while above these ranges metabolic rates increase slightly and total heat dissipation rates decrease rapidly.- Division of total dissipation rates into sensible and latent heat holds only for a dry-bulb temperature of 79 F. For lower temperatures, sensible heat dissipation increases and latent heat decreases, while for higher temperatures the reverse is true. -
from Figs. 9, 10 and 11, to determine the sensible and latent heat dissi pation for any work rate and any environmental condition, provided
the metabolic rate is known at one elective temperature. For example, if it is found that a certain type of work results in a metabolic rate of approximately 760 Btu per hour for an average person working in an atmosphere of 70 ET, then this total rate of heat dissipation to atmos pheres of various temperatures will be approximately as given by the broken-line curve in Fig. 9. The broken line curves in Figs. 10 and 11 give-. the rate of sensible and latent heat dissipation of the person for different, dry-bulb temperatures. The metabolic rates for a number of types of:

THE late war has caused an increase of interest in the preventive . aspects of air conditioning. It has re-emphasized the importance of , the control of airborne infection and has demonstrated the value of air
cooling under tropical conditions for the prevention of heat rash, for
proper rest and sleep, and in the convalescence of patients.
.
CONTROL OF AIRBORNE INFECTION
Any program of air sanitation is influenced by a number of factors '3' *.
In the winter months, the closing of doors, windows and other means of
access to the outside air to.conserve warmth and further the crowding
of persons indoors provides conditions conducive to a high incidence of
contagion. This seasonal phenomenon, illustrated in Fig. 1 which
represents a study made by the U. S. Public Health Service, will concern
the ventilating engineer in so far as air quality, determined by tempera
ture, humidity, air replenishment and type of air movement and by.
freedom from contamination, is a major intrinsic factor. : Apart from the
seasonal picture of airborne contagion are such extrinsic factors as rate
of turnover of personnel and the marked, susceptibility of the recruit
in comparison with permanent personnel6 as shown by studies of military
personnel housed in" barracks, Fig. 2. These extraneous variables and
the factor of contact infection (direct spray) tend to complicate any
evaluation of the effectiveness of air sanitation for eliimnation'of micro
organisms in droplet:nuclei and droplet-dust.. Thus, .control, measures -
may eliminate consistently 90 per cent of airborne organisms in laboratory
tests, but cannot effect a decrease in actual incidence of infection ex- '
> ceeding 30 per cent. Thirty per cent may be the maximal reduction in
infection possible by air treatment methods. The distinction should be
clearly drawn,, therefore,- between the effectiveness of a procedure in
laboratory tests and its effectiveness and applicability in'actually reducing
the incidence .of airborne disease.
. . .- -
The following sequence of events has been postulated as occurring in. -
a large proportion of intra-ward infections: ' (a) ejection of relatively
large protected infective particles from patients, (b) rapid venting or
. settling of these particles' so that .those remaining airborne - are in low
concentration, (c) survival of infective particles to permit the accumu
lation of high concentrations-on surfaces, (d) repeated reintroduction of
infective particles.into the air under the stimulus of ward activities or
by air currents of the order of 50 fpm over the floor, and' (e) extension of
infective areas bV air turbulence throughout the ward or. hospital. The
most important link in this probable infection, chain has been demon
strated to be the reintroduction of particles into the air 6.

control in minimizing the spread of airborne disease, a consideration

A combination of ultraviolet radiation and ; dust ' control measures is believed to be more effective than when either one of the two is used alone, but the proof for this has yet to come, .
VALUE OF AIB COOLING UNDER TROPICAL CONDITIONS
The commissioning of a class of naval hospital ships with all,.wards, laboratories and living spaces air. cooled is a notable achievement to provide better treatment of patients, especially those, suffering from, extensive burns, by control of environmental factors. Although statistics
(
are not at hand to indicate the deaths or retarded recoveries of patients due'to lack of air cooling in ships*operating in"tropical."waters, it' is generally agreed among competent observers that high temperature and humidity aremajorfaetbrs in prblonging disability and 'increasing,
mortality of the sick and injured: Physiologic data obtained on healthy men, mbreover.' show the large loss of-body fluids', and the stress, on' the . cardiovascular system in terms of increased bulse rate when these men are> continuously subjected to high temperatures. Even at rest'about 50 cc of fluid per hour are lost as sweat18 through intact skin.In burn patients the difficulty, encountered in temperate climates, of maintaining fluid and electrolyte:balance-is tremendously augmented by the .addi- tionalevaporative.fluid loss in hot environments. .
Frequently from150 to 75 per cent of personnel aboard naval vessels operating in-tropical waters'are afflicted with heat rash to a degree that interferes, with rest and sleep. In carefully controlled experiments 18 it was possible to produce a fulminating ' type of rash in all men living continuously at an effective temperature of' 85 (90 F dry-bulb and 83 F - wet-bulb). In the control gtoup, 12 out of 24 hr were spent in a relatively cool- atmosphere of 75 ET. (80.F dry-bulb, and.70. F wet-bulb).. These
' ' y
244
, CHAPTER 13
.1946 Guide
men either remained free from heat rash or occasionally developed a mild form. Thus, intermittent cooling'to a degree which prevented sweating in men at rest eliminated a serious, handicap to good performance of duty.
In both laboratory tests and aboard hospital ships a relatively cool living environment of 76 to 78 ET provided an atmosphere conducive . to rest and sleep without sweating. Berthing spaces tended to have extremely low: odor levels. Motivation, initiative and alertness in con trast to the usual irritability and lack of incentive incident to residence in tropical climate were maintained 14> ls-16.
Little has been done, however, to obtain practical methods for appli cation of air conditioning under heavy heat loads and on the enormous scale that would be needed to modify life in the tropics. It is not im . probable that cooled houses in a tropical climate, if used consistently for one generation, might modify the whole character of a population17. , The obvious advantages of part time cooling oil personnel to promote rest and sleep in tropical areas would provide a prophylactic measure of great potential importance.
TREATMENT OF DISEASE
In the past few years considerable progress has been made in using air
conditioning as an adjunct in the treatment of various diseases. Among
the important applications are those in operating rooms, nurseries for
premature infants, maternity and delivery rooms, children's wards,
' clinics for arthritic patients, heat therapy, cold therapy, oxygen therapy,
X-ray rooms, the control of allergic disorders, and for the physiological
. effects in industry.
.
OPERATING ROOMS
.
The widest application of air conditioning in hospitals' is in operating rooms:- Complete air-conditioning of-operating .wards is important, because winter humidification helps reduce the danger of anesthetic . gases; summer cooling with some dehumidification is needed to eliminate excessive fatigue and to protect the patient arid operating personnel; and finally, filtering for the removal of allergens from the operating room air.
Reducing Explosion'Hazard
. -:
-
:: Explosion hazards in operating ftoms began with. the. introduction of
modern anesthetic gases and apparatus. Ether, administered by the old drop method gives rise to an explosive, mixture, but jja- practice this method is still-regarded as comparatively safe.- When ether, is mixed
with pure oxygen, or nitrous oxide in certain concentrations, the explosion hazard may be as great as with ethylene-oxygen, or cyclopropaneoxygen mixturesu.
Of the anesthetic gases nitrous oxide alone does not explode but sup
ports combustion. Ether,- vinyl ether, ethylene, and cyclopropane are as
potentially dangerous as gasoline or illuminating, gas in the . home19.
Chloroform does not explode violently in contact with flame but decom
poses to liberate phosgene.. All of the anesthetic gases and vapors.except
ethylene are heavier than air. Although the Incidence of injury or death-
-from explosion is'negligible compared with other hazards in the operating
.room, the..dramatic features-surrounding an explosion justify continued
investigation to eliminate the hazard.
During the course of ethylene anesthesia, the mixture, usually 80
/lir Conditioning in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease
245
per cent ethylene and 20 per cent oxygen, is: so rich that the danger of explosion is slight in the immediate vicinity of the face mask, but leakage of ethylene into the air may accumulate to any lower concentration, and thus introduce a serious hazard. The most dangerous period is at theend of the operation when the patient's lungs and the anesthesia apparatus are customarily washed out with oxygen with or without the'addition of
carbon dioxide. Even when this procedure is omitted,'it is difficult in practice to avoid dilution of the anesthetic gas with air during the normal course of breathing following the administration. In either case the mixture would pass through the explosion range and extraordinary precaution1 is necessary for the safety of the patierit arid operating
personnel.
'
'.
In a study 20 of 230 anesthetic explosions and fires,,70 per cent of. the
explosions and ,60 per cent of the deaths were caused by igniting agents
other then static sparks. In 1941 the National Fire Protection Associa
tion 21 made certain recommendations for safe practice based on available
information. Some of these recommendations are:
'.
Windows should be kept-closed so that the air conditioning system
can prevent pooling of explosive anesthetic gases. Twelve air changes
per hour and a humidity of 55 per cent are advised. If a higher humidity
were compatible with the well being of the. patient and personnel, it
shouldbe maintained. All electrical.installations should comply with the ,
standards set by the National Electrical Code for use in explosive situations.
Cautery equipment should not be used in hazardous locations. To
prevent static sparks, all bodies in an operating-room should be conduc
tive or coupled. It is essential that adequate grounding be-provided for
the floor and every object in the operating room. Conductive rubber
should be used on shoes, leg tips, operating table coverings and ail rubber
parts of the anesthesia equipment. All furniture,in contact with the floor
should be metal: In the absence of complete grounding facilities, the Simple
method of intercoupling patient, operating .table,-anesthetist and gas
machine at ground potential may be used.
'' ' ' :
. Experience has shown that neither high humidity.nor intercouplirig devices have eliminated the danger from static.electric discharge... .The
removal of gas concentrations from the operating table area by means of
specially devised exhaust ventilation should be thoroughly tested'. Port?
able duct systerris as installed aboard ship should be acceptable. Serious explosions can occur in" a closed, system but proper precautions wilj

Operating Room Conditions
- .
Little is known about optimum air conditions for maintaining normal .
body temperatures during anesthesia and the immediate post-operative
period. An anesthetized patient displays dilation of blood vessels in
. the skin resulting in profuse sweating and (it has been believed) inability
to regulate body temperature. From this it was concluded that all
anesthetized patients suffered considerable heat loss, although there
may be little more than 0.8 F variation in the rectal temperature during
the course of the operation22. The severe physiological effects, such as
excessive sweating and rapid pulse, of high operating room temperatures
on attendants and patients during the hot months signify the need for
proper cooling. A comparison of'surgeons^ statements who operate in
both air conditioned and non-air conditioned rooms strongly indicates
that the recuperative power of the patient is greater when operated upon
' in air conditioned rooms22.
..
Although the comfortable air conditions for the operators are not
identical with those for the patient, it is usually not difficult to coiriprm
mise within a range of 55 to 60 per cent relative humidity, and 72 to.80 F
temperature. The work just cited , reported that 68 to 70 F, effective
temperature not only furnished comfort for the operating room workers,
but apparently prevented exhaustion of the patient as evidenced by rapid
convalescence in the recovery ward. Additional heat may be furnished
to the patient locally or by suitable covering according to body-tempera
ture in individual cases, i :
_ ... . .
In the control of airborne infection in the operating room the prevention of dispersal of infectious materials into the air, control of dust and proper
ventilation supersede attempts to remove or kill pathogenic organisms.
' , In atLinvestigatipn recently conducted at the University of Pittsburgh, .
, in,a cpoperative research,program with the Society, comparative sthdies
were". made on bacterial'con|em.of conditioned and n'on'-conditioned
operating rooms. From these studies23 it was concluded that' the bac
terial content of conditioned operating rooms was' considerably less than
that of non-conditioned rooms. ' . .
.
. .. .
Bacterial bounts aboard an air conditioned submarine were found to be
exceptionally low and not cumulative.with time'although all: of the air'
was recirculated for more than 12 hours2* without replenishment. The
removal of bacteria by the process of air cooling'and condensation of
moisture out of air' merits further study ".
'
'!
.
_ The degree of air contamination can be reduced by proper ventilation
if-velocity of air over the'floor does'not exceed 50 fpm. Research is in
progress on the use of-filtered air flowing through a system of mechanical
cleaners which protect the patient against infection from'attendants and '
from bacteria-containing air in the corridor of ward
- Operations may be-postponed on allergic patients during asthmatic
manifestations :through fear. of'complications.' The removal of air-borne
allergens, therefore,.is.in some cases an important function of the air
conditioning.system.in preparing, patients for-operation.'
.
Central system air conditioning plants and unit air conditioners prove satisfactory in operatitig rooms when .producing between 8 and 12 air .-changes per hour of filtered and properly conditioned air without redrculatioh during ihe course' of anesthesia. A separate exhaust fan system is
usually-necessary to confine and remove the gases and odors. Double . windriws are desirable arid often necessary to prevent-condensation and

frosting on the glass in cold weather arid to minimize drafts. The air flow of 8 to 12 air changes in operating rooms should: (1) reduce the concern tration of the anesthetic to well below the pharmacologic threshold in the vicinity of the operating personnel, (2) remove the great amounts of heat'and sometimes moisture, from sterilizing equipment if inside the
operating room, from the powerful surgical lights, from solar heat, and
from: the bodies of the operatives, and (3) provide extra capacity for quickly preparing , the room for emergency1 operations. Much can be
gained by thermal insulation of sterilizirig equipment and by thorough exhaust ventilation of sterilizing rooms adjoining the operating rooms.
Too great a difference in temperature between the operating room and the final hospital destination of the patient, including corridors and
elevators, is conducive to infections of the upper part of the respiratory
tract and .post-operative pneumonia.' A suggested remedy, is a recovery ward in which conditions closely approximate those of the operating
room and in which the patients remain from one to four days.' Satis factory conditions in the recovery ward not only hasten convalescence, but dispel the fear frequently found in patients who must undergo
operations during the hot seasons27........... -
Experience has shown that aifew hours after the operation the tem
perature of the post-operative room can be decreased a few degrees below
that of an overheated operating room to stimulate recovery.-
.
, * NURSERIES FOR PREMATURE INFANTS
One. of the most important requirements.in. the. care of premature'
infants is the stabilization of body temperature. , This is necessary,
because their heat regulating systems are not fully developed; the .
metabolism is low and the infants generally, exhibit-marked inability to
maintain normal body temperatures. The resistance to infectionjs low
and mortality rate high.
.
. .,
.. ..
Air Conditioning Reqiurements
'
. . .' . ' : . .
The optimum air conditions for. the. growth and development of these in
fants were determined by extensive research2? at the Children's Hospital,
Boston, Mass., using four valid criteria; namely,- stability of.body tem
perature, gain in weight, incidence of digestive syndromes, and mortality.
Individual temperature requirements varied>,widely;(frorir72 .to TOO F)
according to the constitutional state of the infants .and body.. .weights.
The optimum relative humidity, was about 65 per cent, . and ..the air
mpvemeht'less. than 20 fpm.'
T- .- : ;
'
A single-nursery conditioned to 77. F arid 65 per,cerit felatiye humidity '
was found to fulfill satisfactorily the.,requirements, of the' inajority.-of
premature infants. Additional .heat , for weak (or debilita.ted) -infants
may be furnished in the cribs or by means of electric incubators placed
inside the conditioned nursery, and the.temperature adjusted according
to individual requirements. "In' this way multiplicity of chambers and.
of air conditioning apparatus is obviated;.the infants in the heated beds
derive the benefit of breathing cool humid air, and :the nurses and .doctors
need not expose themselves to extreme-conditions.--
Importance of Humidity: I Although external , heat : is: an ..-important factor in the maintenarice of.normal body teiriperature, humidity appears to be of equal or greater importance. When the premature.nurseries at ' the Children's Hospital were kept at relative humidity between"-25 and 50
248
CHAPTER 13
1946 Guide
per cent for two weeks or-longer, the body temperature became unstable;
gain in weight diminished, the incidence of gastro-intestinal disturbances
increased, and the mortality rose. On the other. hand, continuous
exposure to air conditions with 55 to 65 per cent relative humidity gave
satisfactory results over a period of years.. The initial physiologic loss of
body weight (loss-occurring within first four days of life) was found to
vary inversely with the humidity. In the old-nurseries with natural
humidity it averaged 12.4 per cent of the birth weight; in the conditioned
nurseries it was 8.9 per cent with:25 to 49 per cent relative humidity, and
6.0 per cent, with 50 to 7,5 per cent relative humidity. The number of
days required to regain the birth weight was correspondingly maximum
in the old nursery and minimum in the conditioned nurseries under high
humidity.
. .. -.. . .:
' ..
Maximum gains in body, weight occurred in the conditioned nurseries
under high humidity (55 to. 65 per .cent) in infants weighing less than
5 lb. The gains were less under low humidity (25 to 50 per cent), in the
same nurseries,-and in the old nurseries prior to the installation of air
conditioning, apparatus. ;
.
- -..
The incidence and severity of digestive syndromes, with diarrhea,
persistent vomiting, diminishing gain or loss of body weight, and other
symptoms, were generally from two to three times as high under low than
under high humidity. . . . :
. .........
, Summarizing, the best chances for life in premature infants are created by maintaining a relative humidity of 65 per cent in the nursery and by providing a uniform environmental temperature just sufficiently high to keep the body temperature within normal limits. Medical and nursing care are, of course, factors of equal and sometimes of greater importance.
Air Conditioning Equipment - . '.
Many of the installations now in use are of the central system type
providing for filtration, for humidification and heating in cold weather,
and for cooling and dehumidification in hot weather. A ventilation rate,
between 8 and 12 air changes, is desirable to remove odors and maintain
uniformity of temperatures in extremes of weather. Recirculation should
not be used in these wards owing to odors and the possibility of infection.
There should be a frequent change in spray water.
r.
Control of Airborne Infection' . . .
-
' The protection of the premature and older infant against infection is of the utmost importance.' It was found in one installation equippedwith air conditioning, germicidal lights and mechanical barriers that air conditioning alone did not prevent the spread of respiratory cross infections.":: Bactericidal ultraviolet light barriers and air conditioning or mechanicarbamers and air conditioning were efficient29.. ; ;
; ' FEVER THERAPY ' ' .'
'
- Artificial production of fever in man is an imitation of nature's way
of overcoming invading pathogenic organisms. The action may be direct
and specific by destruction of the invading organism within the safe
limitcof human Temperatures, or indirect in the case of heat resistant
organisms,: by general mobilization .Of. the defensive mechanisms, of the
body,-,which-retard >or;neutralize the activity, of pathogenic bacteria and
their toxins. : :
' '..
' ".......:
:
Air Conditioning in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease
Although the action may. be direct and specific by: destruction of the
invading-organisms within the safe limits of-human tolerance,, fever
therapy exerts much of its benefit through the improvement of the mechanism of bodily defense. A serious challenge to the theory on which
feyer. therapy is based comes from the demonstration that high fever causes, a reduction in the concentration of circulating antibodies in
experimental: animals. Clinically, it has been shown that there is no
change in the per cent of phagocytes which engulf -bacteria in patients
during fever therapy, although the action of the complement fixing
antibodies may be temporarily, diminished. - . -
. '.
Patients, for fever therapy should be. carefully selected. The most
serious complications which may arise are heat stroke, heat exhaustion
and circulatory collapse. The - chief minor complications are spasm,
heat cramps, fever blisters and mild dehydration.
.
The limits of induced systemic fever are usually between 104 and 107 F (rectal), and the duration from 3 to 8 hours at a time. The total period
of fever treatment varies with the type of the organism involved from a
few hours to 50 or more.
..
The diseases which respond favorably to artificial fever therapy are
gonorrhea and its complications (which,include arthritis, pelvic infections
in women, and involvement'of the eye),^syphilis, chorea, infectious
arthritis (non-gonorrheal), encephalitis, and. some forms of asthma.
There are other conditions which show promise under this treatment;
but: the most striking results are seen in gonorrhea and syphilis, since the causative organisms can be destroyed at temperatures compatible with
human life.
. ...... .
.
Equipment for Production of Fever
`
Artificial fever can be induced by injections of various crystalloid or
colloid substances, bacterial products of typhoid and malarial organisms,
or by physical methods using hot baths, radiant heat cabinets, hot
humidified air cabinets, or by- short wave diathermy in combination
with a cabinet. . , '
-
. ..
The relative advantages of various methods have been evaluated clinically30- Among the devices for the production of fever by physical means, the one most widely used is the hot humid air or air conditioned cabinet. This apparatus was'developed at the Kettering Institute for Medical Research at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.
. In the earlier studies of the Society32, temperatures were elevated more
easily using saturated atmospheres. A feyer therapy apparatus,3 using
these same principles has proved efficient as a', means of inducing and
maintaining fever in a body with small likelihood of burns because of the
comparatively low dry-bulb temperatures. -.
.' .
When heat is necessary in treating legs or arms, such media as short
or -long wave diathermy, .infrared, water baths, etc. have been used
extensively, A recent development, a saturated atmosphere heating unit,
similar to one previously described has-proven satisfactory, because heat
may be administered over longer periods which render deep heating
possible without fear of burns or shocks. Local heating has been some
what satisfactory in relieving the painful symptoms'of peripheral vascular
disease. . .
.. - -
Some investigators employ- short wave: diathermy within the cabinet during the induction phase. When the optimum body temperature has
; 250
_____________
CHAPTER 13
1946 Guide
been reached by electrical induction, the atmosphere of the enclosure is
kept at saturation to prevent heat loss, thus maintaining the patient's
temperature at the. desired point. The two underlying principles' in 'the
production of fever by the hot, humid air cabinet are: (l).the transfer
of heat by conduction from the. circulating hot air to the body and (2)
prevention of heat loss. The latter is more important. In an atmosphere
of high humidity, the mechanism of heat loss-by- evaporation is markedly
decreased.'
.,
The chief physiologic effects exhibited during fever therapy are:
(a) the cardio-vascular system is stimulated to increase the amount of
blood to various parts of the body, (b) a mobilization of blood elements
by the blood forming system, (c) general metabolism is increased, (d) only
' slight changes in blood chemistry except that the chlorides may . be de
pleted if dehydration occurs.
': .
'
The therapeutic value of fever therapy for certain1 diseases has been : definitely proved.. The combination of chemo-therapy and fever has proved to be more effective than when either is employed separately.
This is especially true in regard to gonorrhea and early syphilis. - `
` COLD THERAPY \
In contrast to fever therapy the use of .cold as a means of anesthesia
and treatment is of established importance. Refrigeration anesthesia is
being more widely used and the advantages of the method claimed by
Allen have been completely confirmedM.
-
:;
It has been demonstrated that the cooling of limbs and other parts with ice-water or ice, cracked or pulverized, down to near, the freezing
point (5 C or 40 F) is harmless. Freezihg must'be avoided.' There is a . temporary retardation or suspension of life, with resumption of cellular activity as the temperature returns, to normal., A human limb can remain bloodless and anesthetic below a tourniquet for at least. 8 hr and perhaps up to 48 hr without injury, while .the rest of, the body, remains warm. Where amputation is indicated it can thus be done without pain, loss of blood or strength and also without shock. There is no apparent interference with the subsequent, healing of the stump. Refrigeration-
anesthesia is of importance not only in amputation but also in the control
of hemorrhage, pain, infection and shoclf1 during'the transportation of
patients with .traumatized-limbs. . . .
y' '
, '....'
Apart from the advantages of cold in.amputations, cryotherapy has .been beneficial in the treatment pf-burns and'arterial obstruction, and essential in the treatment of frostbite and immersion foot. -It has been used successfully for.dental anesthesia'. The principle of hibernation in which the body as a whole is cooled for as much as .five days in air. tem
peratures between 50 to 60 F and applied to such conditions as morphine
addiction, leukemia, and schizophrenia continues to "be experimental.
Prolonged cold therapy which keeps the body-temperature below 95 F .
depresses the vital processes and' is fraught with danger:.
.
The methods used for refrigeration depending upon available facilities
. are as follows54:
' '. 1

(1) Cracked or shaved ice whieh is. simple and - has the advantage of not freezing
tissues. However, it is cumbersome and sloppy to handle and is unsuited to prolonged
treatments.

(5) A double chambered cabinet using dry ice has been constructed.
(6) Electrical refrigerating apparatus, consisting of a compact noiseless unit that, -
pumps fluid to various types of applications, is available. The applicators may be in 1

all or part of a limb. Special applicators are available for insertion into various body- .
cavities and for inducing dental anesthesia..
. (7) An air chamber at regulated temperature for treatments of frostbite and immersion -
foot, and amputation stumps.

The electrical apparatus is costly but has the advantages of thermo
static regulation, light weight, freedom of movement, and permits
prolonged treatments with heat as well as cold over the range of tem
peratures therapeutically, desirable. ' .

ALLERGIC DISORDERS
Although there is some division of opinion over, the -ultimate, cause
of allergy, the prevailing belief is.that it is due to an inherited or acquired
hypersensitiveness to pollen or other foreign, proteins in certain indivi
duals who react abnormally to the offending substance. The reaction
may be induced by inhalation, eating, or absorption (through the skin)
of the allergens. Some of the clinical manifestations are hay fever, '
asthma, eczema, and contact dermatitis.,
. ' , ;; ,
.
Symptoms of Hay Fever and Asthma .
'
The respiratory tract is; the usual site of allergic manifestations, e.g.
hay fever and asthma. In hay fever, the nose and eyes are red and itchy, -
arid there is corisiderable1 discharged Nasal obstruction- is the most
common and distressing symptom. The severity of the symptoms varies
widely from day to day depending chiefly on the amount of pollen in
the air. .
-
: . - -; .. . ;.
-.
. -'
. Seasonal asthma comes in attacks. The most popular theory concern- .
irig the mechanism of action is that the offending substance irritates the
nerve endings in mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, causing
spasmodic contraction of the small bronchioles of' the lungs,'which
interferes with'breathing,- particularly with1 expiration.1 Noniseasonal
allergic-disturbances are srirnetiriies attributed to house''or street, dusts,
fungi,:odorsi animal dander,'irritatirig gases;-and heritor arid,'-particu
larly sudden temperature changes. It is often stated in the literature
that heat regulation in asthmatic individuals tends to be unstable, with a
tendency, toward the subnorriial.- Many allergic cases who are apparently
well develop their attacks when cold weather appears, or upon changing -
from.warm to cool outdoor air. - ; . ' .
-,
Air Conditioning Apparatus
:-
-,
..
' In recent years considerable effort has-been directed toward, the elimi- -
nation of the principal criuse of allergy'from the air of enclosures by .
filtration or other air conditioning processes capable of removing pollens* '.
in the hope of providing relief to individuals who fail to respond to medical
treatment (desensitization or immunization).
........... '
'
Papier or cloth filters, mounted in inexpensive window or floor units, prove quite satisfactory-in many cases, but since dust and smoke fre quently cause asthmatic attacks, it is desirable that an air filter; to be of full value in the treatment of asthma, .should:remove all possible'dusts
;

and pollens regardless of size or amount. Electrostatic air cleaners are more efficient than most commonly used types for capturing very fine dust M.
_ Although the chief remedial factor in the treatment by conditioned air is the filtration of pollen, a certain amount of cooling and dehumidification appears to be desirable. A comfortable temperature between 70 and 75 F ' and a relative humidity well below 50 per cent proved satisfactoryM. Direct drafts, overcooling or overheating are apt to initiate or aggravate the symptoms.
Limitations of Air Conditioning Methods
' The results obtained with air filtration or other air conditioning pro cesses in the control of allergic conditions are fairly comparable to those
obtained by desensitization treatment so long as the patients remain in the pollen free atmosphere. But while specific desensitization is preven
tive and in a few instances curative, for all practical purposes filtration gives only, temporary relief. In mild cases sleeping in an air conditioned space may make it possible for the individual to pass more comfortable days. _With rare exceptions, the symptoms recur on exposure-to pollen laden air. Moreover the usefulness of air conditioning methods is limited because all cases are not caused by air-borne substances. Cases of bacterial asthma do not respond to treatment with filtered air.
Despite these limitations air conditioning methods possess definite
advantages in the simplicity of treatment, convenience, and under certain
conditions almost immediate relief ". Pollen cases are usually relieved of
jnost of their symptoms within 1 to 3 hr.after exposure to properly filtered
air. A pollen-free atmosphere is especially .valuable when desensitization
has given little or no relief, and when desensitization is not. advisable
owing to intercurrent illness.
.
..
OXYGEN THERAPY
Oxygen, therapy is the principal measure employed for preventing and
relieving the distressing symptoms of anoxemia, which is a deficiency in
the oxygen content of the blood. Some of the more important conditions
in which oxygen treatment is believed to .be beneficial are pneumonias,
anemia, heart affections, post-operative pulmonary disturbances, certain
mental. disturbances, asphyxia, asthma and atelectasis in new-born
infants.
.. ... ..
The effectiveness of oxygen therapy depends upon the'manner of ad
ministration. Three common methods, catheter, face mask, or tent"8:39
, are employed.
. .,
...
.. .
The necessity of air conditioning in oxygen therapy arises from the
fact that oxygen is too expensive a gas to waste in the ventilation of
oxygen tents arid oxygen chambers. The oxygen rich atmosphere in these
enclosures- is therefore reconditioned in a, closed circuit by removal, of
excess heat, moisture, and carbon dioxide given off from the occupants
being treated..
....
, . .' . .
Oxygen Tents
-
..
In oxygen tents .the air enriched with oxygen is usually circulated by means of a small motor blower which sends the air over soda lime to remove carbon dioxide and then over ice to remove excess heat and moisture. The concentration of oxygen in the tent is regulated by means
Air Conditioning in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease
253
of a pressure reducing valve and flow' meter. In an inadequately cooled
tent, high temperatures and humidities are inevitable, increasing the
discomfort of the patient and imposing an added strain on an already
overburdened heart. Oxygen therapy under such conditions may do
more harm than good. An ice melting rate of approximately 10 lb per.
hour gives satisfactory results in patients with fever in a medium size
oxygen tent.
'
Oxygen tents are confining to the patient. They may terrify the. rest
less and delirious patient. Medical and nursing care is complicated, as
the tent must be opened or. removed with attendant loss of oxygen.
Oxygen concentrations of 50 per. cent or more are difficult to maintain,
and it is a problem to keep the temperature and humidity low enough in
hot weather. However, with attention to details, the patient can be
made quite comfortable., .
.
Oxygen Chambers .
.
.
The conventional oxygen chamber is an air-tight sheet metal enclosure
of fire-proof construction, large enough to accommodate one or two
patients. Trap doors or curtains are provided for the personnel, food
and service, to avoid loss of oxygen, Glass windows in the ceiling and walls admit light from outside the chamber. The air conditioning system
may be of. the gravity type, or of the fan type using mechanical refrig
eration or air drying agents. ,
..
The temperature and humidity requirement in oxygen therapy depends
primarily upon the physical condition of the patient, and secondarily upon the type of disease. In pneumonias40 prescribed conditions should be an effective temperature of 66 to 68 F, humidity of 50 per cent, air
movement of not less than 50 linear feet per minute, oxygen concentra
tion of 50 per cent, arid carbon dioxide of less than one per cent.
/
.Oxygen in Aviation
. ... . . :
.
An important application`of`the principle of oxygen therapy is in
aviation. At the present tinie ajl high, altitude military airplanes in this
country are'provided with gaseous oxygen equipment and military
personnel are required to utilize oxygen at all times while in flight above
15,000 ft, or-between 12,000 to 15,000 ft for longer than two hours, or
between 10,000 to 12,000 ft for longer than six hours. The use of oxygen
in commercial aviation .will .depend-on .the height and duration of the
flights as well as the! state of health of the passengers. The necessity for
portable, comfortable equipment, the possible fire hazards due to smoking,
and the use of oxygen on sleeper planes are some of the difficulties facing
civil airline operators. The pressure cabin airplane is a solution to the
problem.

AIR EVACUATION OF THE SICK AND WOUNDED ;
Between November 1942 and June 1945, some 510,000 wounded orsick 1 soldiers were transported by air. So efficient was the service that in the Normandy campaign men wounded in France in the morning could be given operative treatment- iri English hospitals the same evening. . A major problem encountered in this type of service is the removal of odors in the hospital space. The ideal deodorant method for use in aircraft, should effect complete removal of unpleasant odors without vitiating cabin air with other odors or irritants in the form of vapor sprays or ^

perfumes. It should not only be light weight and portable but capable
of utilization in pressure type, cabins, without imposing an additional
burden upon the limited ventilation facilities.
GENERAL HOSPITAL AIR CONDITIONING
Complete conditioning of a large hospital involves a capital investment
and running expenses which may not be justified. Air conditioning has
important applications in certain hospital wards such, as nurseries for
premature infants, oxygen therapy chaimbers, heat therapy' rooms or
cabinets, allergy wards 37, operating rpoms and recovery wards. In
clean arid quiet districts, the requirements of almost all general and
private wards during the cool season of the year can be satisfactorily
fulfilled by the use of conventional heating equipment' in conjunction
with window air supply and gravity or mechanical exhaust. . Insulation
against heat and sound is much more important than humidification in
winter;.it wilTalso l]elp in keeping the building cool in warm weather.
Excessive outside noise and dust, may require the use of. silencers and air
filters int the window openings. .
..
.
_. .
Cooling and dehumidification in warm weather are important. In new hospitals particularly, the desirability of cooling certain sections of the building should be given serious consideration. Financial reasons may preclude the cooling of the entire building, but the needs of the average hospital can be met by the use of built-in room coolers and a few portable
units which can be wheeled from ward to ward when needed.
In the North and certain sections of the Pacific Coast, cooling is needed
tyit a few; days during summer, while in the South, it can be used to
advantage from, May to October, and in tropical climates almost con
tinuously throughout the year.
-
. ...
Aside from comfort and recuperative power of the-patients,> cooling is
of great assistance in the treatment of fevers in the new-born.and. in
post-operative cases, in enteric disorders, fevers, heat stroke, heart .
failure, and in a variety of other ailmentswhich often accompany summer
heatwaves.'
' . " '

Considerable research is in progress on the influence of air conditioning -
upon, a -wide variety of diseases' such as'pneumonia, upper respiratory
diseases, tuberculosis, arthritis, nervous, instability, hyper-thyroidism,
essential hypertension, skin diseases, and vascqlar disorders. ' '
.'
Problem of Odors
,.
The evacuation of battle casualties in aircraft and their subsequent
hospitalization have stimulated efforts to minimize odors arising from
draining wounds, old odorous, casts, ancFgangrenous wounds. For air
craft, chemical sprays and vapors! perfumes, oxidizing gases and venti
lation methods are unsatisfactory. An ideal deodorant would purify the
air by means of odor adsorption so that subsequently the air can be
recirculated; . Based upon the effectiveness of. activated carbon com-:
merdally and industrially .to adsorb odors,-individual adsorption units .
have.been.used successfully. In hospital wards the question of super
iority of adsorption methods for elimination of odors over other methods'
remains to be answered. The.present status of the problem is that the.
commercial aspect is highly controversial.

-
IN the design of a heating system, an estimate must be made of the maximum probable heat loss of each room or space to be heated, based on maintaining a specified inside air temperature during periods of minimum selected design weather conditions. The heat losses may be divided into two groups, namely (1) the transmission losses or heat losses through the confining walls, floor, ceiling, glass or other surfaces and (2) the infiltration losses or heat losses due to air leakage through cracks and
crevices, around doors and windows, opening of doors and other sources
of interchange of air between the inside and outside.
GENERAL PROCEDURE
The general procedure for calculating heat losses of a structure is:
1. Select the outside design temperature. The data on climatic conditions given in Table 1 and the Design Temperature Zone Map, Fig. 1, will be.useful but should be applied with judgment as suggested in the section Outside Design Temperatures.
2. Select the inside air temperature, at the 60-in. breathing line or the 30-in. line, which is to be maintained in the building during the coldest weather. (See Table 2).
3. Estimate temperatures in adjacent unheated spaces and the attic. The attic temperature need not be estimated if the combined roof and ceiling coefficient is used.
4. Select or compute the heat transmission coefficients for outside walls and glass;
also for inside walls, floors, or top-floor ceilings, if these are next to. unheated space;
include roof if next to heated space. (See Chapter 6).
:
5. Measure amount of net outside wall, glass and roof next to heated spaces, as well
as any cold walls, floors or ceilings next to unheated space. Such measurements are
made from building plans, or from the actual building, using inside dimensions.
6. Compute the heat transmission losses, for each kind of wall, glass, floor, ceiling and.'roof in the building by multiplying the heat transmission coefficient in each case by the area of the surface in square* feet and the temperature difference between the inside and outside air. (See Items 1, 2, and 3).
7. Select unit values and compute the heat equivalent pf the infiltration of cold air taking.place around outside doors and windows. These unit values'depend on the kind or width of crack and wind velocity, and when multiplied by the length of crack and the temperature difference between the inside and outside air, the result expresses the heat required to warm up the cold air leaking into the building per hour. (See Chapter 8).
8. The sum of the heat losses by transmission (Item 6) through the outside wall and glass, as well as through any cold floors, ceilings or roof, plus the heat.equivalent (Item 7) of the cold air entering by infiltration, or required to replace mechanical exhaust, represents the total heat loss equivalent for any building.
OUTSIDE DESIGN TEMPERATURES
'
There are no hard.and fast.rules for selecting the outside: design tem perature to be used for a given locality or type of building or heating system, and the problem is to some extent a matter of judgement, and experience. The outside design temperature is seldom, taken as the lowest temperature, or even the lowest daily mean temperature ever recorded in a given locality. Such temperatures are rarely repeated in successive years. A temperature somewhat higher than the minimum or the lowest daily mean on record may properly be assumed in making the heat los$

INSIDE TEMPERATURES
The inside air temperature which must be maintained within a building is understood to be the dry-bulb temperature at the breathing line, 5 ft above the floor, or the 30-in. line, and not less than 3 ft from the outside walls. Inside air, temperatures, usually specified, vary in accordance with the use to which the building is to be put and Table 2 presents values which conform to good practice.

The most comfortable dry-bulb.temperature to be maintained depends on the relative humidity and
air motion. These three factors considered together constitute what is termed the effective temperature.
(See Chapter 12.) When relative humidity is not controlled separately, optimum dry-bulb temperature
for comfort will be slightly higher than shown in Table 2. -
'
-
-
The proper dry-bulb temperature to be maintained depends upon the ' relative humidity and air motion, as explained in Chapter 12. In other
words, a person may feel warm or cool at the same dry-bulb temperature,
depending on the relative humidity and air motion. The optimum winter
effective temperature for sedentary persons, as determined at the A.S.H. V.E.
Research-Laboratory, is 66 deg.
.-
.
As explained in Chapter 12 for-so-called still air conditions, a relative, humidity of approximately 50 per cent is required to produce, an effective temperature of 66 deg when the dry-bulb temperature is 70 F. However,
even where provision is made for artificial humidification, the. relative humidity is seldom maintained higher than 40 per cent during the ex
tremely cold weather, and where no provision is made for humidification, the relative humidity may be 20 per cent or less. Consequently, in using the figures listed in Table 2, consideration should be given to whether
provision is to be made for humidification and, if so,, the actual-relative
humidity to:be maintained,. ....

to modify the temperatures given in Table 2 so that the air temperature at the proper level will be used. By air temperature at the proper level is meant, in the case of walls, the air temperature at the mean height be tween floor and ceiling; in the case of glass, the air temperature at the mean height of the glass; in the case of roof or ceiling, the air temperature at the mean height of the roof or ceiling above the floor of the heated room; and in the case of floors, the air temperature at the floor level. ;
. Temperature at Ceiling: The air temperature at the ceiling is generally higher than at the breathing level due to stratification of air resulting from the tendency of the warmer or less dense air to rise. An allowance for this fact should be .made in calculating ceiling heat losses, particularly in the case of high ceilings. However, the exact allowance to be, made may be

somewhat difficult to determine as it depends,on many factors, including (1-) the. type of heating system, (2) ceiling height,: and (3) the insideoutside temperature differential. The type of heating system is par; ticularly important as the temperature gradient from floor to breathinglevel to ceUing.may depend to a large extent on'whether direct radiation; unit heaters or warm air is used, and in the latter case, whether the circu lation is by gravity, auxiliary fan or forced air.

breathing level and ceiling, may generally be neglected without serious error.: For higher ceilings.where spedfic:test data are not available; an allowance of approximately 1 per cent per foot of height above the breathing level may be made for ceiling heights up to 15 ft and approxi mately 1/10 of 1 deg per foot of height above this level. The values in Table 3 are calculated on this basis. For direct radiation and. gravity warm air systems, the allowance should be increased from 50 per cent to 100 per cent over those given in Table 3. These rules should, however, be used with considerable discretion. '
Temperature at Floor Level: According to the. University of Illinois Research Residence tests *, the temperature at the floor level ranged from about 2J4 to 6 deg below that at the breathing level, or somewhat, greater than the difference between the breathing level and ceiling temperatures. Tests at the University of Wisconsin* indicated a some what smaller differential between the floor and breathing level tempera-. tures. As a general rule, if the breathing level to ceiling temperature differential is neglected (as with ceiling heights under 10 ft), the breathing level-floor differential may also be neglected as the two are somewhat compensating,'especially where both floor and ceiling^ heat losses are. calculated for the same space. In other cases, the 10 ft temperature differentials in Table 3 may be used in arriving at the floor heat loss, these differentials to be subtracted from the breathing level; temperature. .

Equation 1 neglects-the effect of any interchange of air such as would
take place through attic vents or louvers intended to preclude attic com
densation. However, according to tests *, such venting of attics by means
of louvers or other small openings does not appreciably reduce the attic
temperature and may be neglected without serious error. The attic
temperature may be calculated in the usual manner by means of Equa
tion 1, allowing the full value of the roof. The error resulting from this
assumption will generally be considerably less than if the roof , were
neglected (as is sometimes the practice) and the attic temperature as^
sumed to be. the same as the outside temperature.
.
TEMPERATURES IN UNHEATED SPACES
The heat loss from heated rooms into unheated rooms or spaces must -be based on the estimated or assumed temperature.in such unheated
spaces. This temperature will generally range between the inside and outside temperatures, depending on the relative areas of the: surfaces adjacent to the heated room and exposed to the outside. If the respective
surface areas adjacent to the heated room and exposed to the outside are approximately the same, and if the coefficients, of transmission are approximately equal, the temperature in the unheated space may be assumed to be the mean of the inside and outside design temperatures. If, however, the surface areas and coefficients are unequal, the tempera ture in the unheated space should be estimated by means of Equation.2.

GROUND TEMPERATURES
.
Ground temperatures to be assumed, for estimating basement heat'
losses will usually differ in the case of basement walls and floors, ;the temperatures under the floors being generally higher than those adjacent
to walls.
......
Temperatures Adjacent to Basement Walls .
Ground temperatures near the surface and under open spaces vary with the climate, the season of the year and the depth below the surface. The nearer the surface (during the cold weather) the lower the tem: perature. Frost will penetrate to a depth of over 4 ft in some localities if not protected by snow. A thick blanket of snow will result in a higher ground temperature near , the surface. Consequently ground tempera tures near die surface may be higher in cold climates where the snow remains on the ground for a greater length of time than in more moderate climates where the snow melts away periodically during the winter.
Complete data for various localities are not as yet available but in
estimating heat losses through vertical walls below grade* it is advisable
not to assume average ground temperatures above 32 F in northern
climates when estimating heat losses from heated basements. This is for
the mean height of the basement wall. Since the recommended wall
coefficient for basement walls in contact with the soil is only 0:10, any
small variation in the-assumed ground temperature will.not materially,
affect the calculated heat loss.
- :
Temperatures Under Basement Floors
.
The temperature under, basement floors6 is influenced by the.heat from the basement or protected from die influence of atmospheric conditions' by the basement. In computing losses through basement floors the ground temperatures may be assumed the same as the approximate water, temperature at depths of 30 to -60 ft given in Fig. 3, Chapter 37.. .
Test results indicate that the heat losses through basement flobrs
are frequently over estimated6.
.
BASEMENT TEMPERATURES AND HEAT LOSS
The allowance to be made for basement heat loss depends on whether the basement is to be heated or not.
If a basement is completely below .grade and is not heated, the tem perature in the basement will normally range between that in the rooms above and the ground temperature. Basement windows will of course lower the basement temperature when it is colder outside arid any heat given off by the heating plant will increase the basement temperature. In any case, the exact basement' temperature is likely to be a somewhat indeterminate.quantity, if the-basement is. not heated. /Since the base ment temperature will generally be lower than that of the rooms above, an allowance should theoretically be made for the loss from the rooms above through the floor over the basernent.
If the basement is heated and a specified temperature is id Be main tained, the heat, loss, should be estimated in the usual manner, basedfon' the proper wall and floor, coefficierits (see Chapter 6) and the outside air. and the ground temperatures. Heat loss through windows and Walls
266 '

above grade should be based on outside temperatures and the proper air-
to-air coefficients. Heat loss through basement walls below grade should
be based on the floor and wall coefficients for surfaces in contact with the
soil and on the proper ground temperature.

Example 8. Calculate the transmission loss through an 8 in., brick wall having an

Solution. The coefficient of transmission ( U) of a plain 8 in. brick wall fa 0.50 (Chapter
6, Table 7). The area (A) is 150 sq ft. Substituting in Equation 3:
:.
, Ht = 150 X 0.50 X 170 -- ( -- 10)1 = 6000 Btu per hour.
Transmission Loss, Through Ceilings and Roofs
.
The transmission heat loss through top floor ceilings, attics and roofs
may be estimated by either of two methods:
"*
1. By substituting in Equation 3 the ceiling area (4), the inside-outside temperature difference, (/ -- to) and the proper value of (U):
a. Flat roofs. - Select the coefficient of transmission of the ceiling and roof from' 1 Tables 14 or"15, Chapter 6, or use appropriate coefficients in Equation 1 if side
walls extend appreciably above the ceiling of the floor below. .
b. Pitched roofs. Select the combined roof and ceiling coefficient from Table 17, Chapter 6 or calculate the combined roof and ceiling coefficient by means of
Equation 5, Chapter 6, where this formula fa applicable as explained in Chapter 6.
2. By estimating the attic temperature (based on the inside and outside design tem perature) by means of Equation 1, and substituting for to in Equation 3, the value of to thus obtained, together with the ceiling area (A) and the ceiling coefficient (U). This applies to pitched roofs. In the case of flat roofs it fa not necessary to calculate the attic temperatures as the ceiling-roof heat loss can be determined as per paragraph la.
' INFILTRATION HEAT LOSS

Q = volume of outside air entering building, cubic feet per hour (see Chapter 8).
d = density of air at temperature to, pounds per cubic foot.
It is sufficiently accurate to use d = 0.075 in which case Equation 4
reduces to
.
"
. H, - 0.018 Q (t - to)
(4a)
The volume of outside air entering per hour ( depends on the wind velocity and direction, the width of crack or size of openings, the type of openings and other factors, as explained in Chapter 8. Where the crack method is used for estimating leakage, it is more convenient to express the air leakage heat loss in terms of the crack length:
Ha = 0.018 QL(t -- to) = B L (t -- to)
(4b)
where
* ..' .
B = air leakage per (hour) (foot of crack) (Chapter 8) for the wind velocity and type
of windows or door crack involved multiplied by 0.018. .
L = length of window or door crack to be taken into consideration, feet.
Example 4. What fa the infiltration heat loss per hour through the crack of a 3 x 5 ft average, double-hung, non-weatherstripped, wobd window, based on a wind velocity of 15 mph? Assume inside and outside temperatures to be 70 F and zero respectively.
. Solution. According to Table 2, Chapter 8, the air leakage through a window of this type (based on VjJ in. crack and %-t in. clearance) fa 39 cu ft per foot of crack per hour. Therefore, B = 39 X 0.018 = 0.70. The length of crack (L) is (2X5) + (3 X 3), or 19 ft; t = 70 and to -- 0. Substituting in Equation 4b,
Hs = 0.70 X 19 X (70 - 0) = 931 Btu per hour.
Crack Length to be Used for Computations .
' .' '
.
The amount of crack' used for computing the infiltration heat loss should not be less than half of the total crack in the outside walls of the room. For a building having ho partitions, whatever wind enters through the cracks on the windward side must leave- through the cracks on the leeward side. Therefore, take one-half the total crack for1 computing
each side and end of the building. In a room with one exposed wall, take all the crack; with two exposed walls, take the wall having the most crack; and with three or four exposed walls, take the wall having the most crack; but in nb case, take less than half the total crack." "
The total infiltration loss of a building having partitions will not be
equal to the sum of the infiltration losses of the various rooms, since at-
any given time infiltration will take place, only, on the windward side or
sides and not on the leeward side. Therefore, if a building has more than
one room which is divided by interior walls or partitions, it is sufficiently
accurate to use half of the total infiltration losses for determining the
total heat requirements.

Hi = heat required to increase moisture content of air leaking into building from >o to mi, Btu per hour.
Q = volume of outside air entering building, cubic feet per hour, d = density of air at temperature ti, pounds per cubic foot,

m0 = vapor density of outside air, grains per pound of dry air.

If the latent heat of vapor (Afg) is assumed to be 1060. Btu per pound,
Equation 5 reduces to .
. .
. Hi = 0.0114 Q (mi - m0)
(5a)
Equations 4a, 4b and 5a may also be used for determining the sensible and latent heat gains due to infiltration in cooling load computations.
SELECTION OF WIND VELOCITIES
The effect of wind on the heating requirements of any building should
be given consideration under two heads:
1. Wind movement increases the heat transmission of walls, glass, and roof, affecting
poor walls to a much greater extent than good walls.
2. Wind movement materially increases the infiltration (inleakage) ofcold air through the cracks around doors and windows, and even through the building materials them selves, if such materials are at all porous.
Theoretically as a basis.for design, the most unfavorable combination of temperature and wind velocity should be chosen. It is entirely possible that a building might require more heat on a windy day with a moderately low outside temperature than on a quiet day with a much lower outside temperature. However, the combination of wind and temperature which is: the worst would differ with different buildings, because wind velocity has a greater effect on . buildings which have .'relatively high infiltration losses.. It would be possible to work.out the heating load for a building for several different combinations of temperature and wind velocity which records show to have occurred and to select^the worst combination; but designers generally do not feel that such a degree of refinement is justified.
It has- been the practice for many years in estimating air leakage by the crack method to use the average wind velocity during the. months of December, January and February. This average wind velocity may not necessarily correspond with that occurring during periods when the outside design temperature prevails, the latter being not an average but rather a near extreme, that is,, a specified number of degrees above the lowest temperature recorded in the locality involved.. Therefore instead qf .using the aforementioned average wind velocity, it is the practice of some designers to use in all cases a wind velocity of 15 mph together with the proper design temperature. Although a 15 mph wind velocity is. higher than the general average wind velocity-during December, -January ; and'February.in various United States cities, this and higher wind veloci ties frequently-occur during periods of outside temperature corresponding to the design temperature. - It should be added that this wind velocity
Heating Load
269
also corresponds with that on which the heat loss coefficients in Chapter 6 are based, although the effect of variations in wind velocity on the in filtration losses is generally much greater than, the effect of wind velocity on the heat loss by transmission through walls. Therefore, pending further investigation of this subject, either the average during December, . January and February or a 15 mph wind velocity may be used at the discretion of the designer. Where the air change method is used for estimating infiltration losses, the wind velocity is not. considered.
Exposure Factors: Many designers use empirical exposure factors to increase the calculated heat loss of rooms dr spaces on the side or sides of the building exposed to the prevailing winds. However, according to a . survey made in 1943, many Guide users have found that the use of exposure factors is not necessary as the Guide method of calculating heat losses provides an ample heat loss allowance. Therefore exposure factors may be regarded as factors of safety for the rooms or spaces exposed to the prevailing winds, to allow for additional capacity for these rooms or spaces, or to balance the radiation, particularly in the case of multi story buildings. Although the exposure allowance is frequently assumed to be 15 per cent, the actual allowance to be made, if any, must to a large extent be a matter of experience and judgment of the designer, since there are at present no authentic test data available from which rules could be developed for the many conditions encountered in practice.
As stated previously, the value of U in the tables of Chapter 6 is based
on a wind velocity of 15 mph and the surface resistance for this wind
velocity (0.17) is sufficiently low that higher wind velocities will decrease
the surface resistance to a negligible degree and therefore have only a
slight effect on the average over-all coefficient. On the other hand, in
filtration losses vary almost directly as the wind velocity, as will be
apparent from the factors in Table 2 of Chapter 8. The more exact
method therefore would be to differentiate among the various exposures
more accurately by. calculating the infiltration and transmission losses
separately for the different sides of the building, using different assumed
wind velocities for the infiltration losses on the various sides of the
building. .
..
AUXILIARY HEAT SOURCES
The heat supplied by persons, lights, motors and machinery should, always be ascertained in the case of theaters, assembly halls, and in dustrial plants, but allowances for such heat sources must be made only after careful consideration of all local conditions. In many cases, these heat sources should not be allowed to affect the size of the installation at all, although they may have a marked effect on the operation and con trol of the system. In general, it is safe to say that where audiences are involved, the heating installation must have sufficient capacity to bring the building up to the stipulated inside temperature before the -audience arrives. In industrial.plants, quite a different condition exists, and heat sources, if they are always available during the period of human occu pancy, may be substituted for a portion of the heating installation. In no case should the actual heating- installation (exclusive of heat sources) be reduced below that required to maintain at least 40 F in the building.
Electric Motors and Machinery
Motors and the machinery which they drive, if both are located in the room, convert all of the electrical energy supplied into heat, which is
270

retained in the room if the product being manufactured is not removed until its temperature is die same.as the room temperature.
If power is transmitted to the machinery from the outside,-then only the heat equivalent of the brake horsepower supplied is used. In the
first case the Btu supplied per hour = g^^'oTm^r X 2546' and
in the second case Btu per hour = bhp X 2546, in which 2546 is the Btu equivalent of 1 hp-hr. In some mills this is the chief source of heating and it is frequently sufficient to overheat the building even in zero weather, thus requiring cooling by ventilation the year round..
The heat (in Btu per hour) from electric lamps is obtained by multi
plying the watts pier lamp by the number of lamps and by 3.413. One
cubic foot of producer gas gives off about 150 Btu; one cubic foot of
manufactured gas about 535 Btu; and one cubic foot of natural gas about
1000 Btu. A Welsbach burner averages 3 cu ft of gas per hour arid
a fish-tail burner, 5 cu ft per hour. For information concerning the heat
supplied by persons, refer to data given in Chapter 12.
'
INTERMITTENTLY HEATED BUILDINGS
In the case of intermittently heated buildings additional heat is
required for raising the temperature of the air, the building, materials and
the material contents of the building to the specified inside temperature.
The rate at which this additional heat must be supplied depends upon
the heat capacity of the structure and its material contents and upon the
time in which these are to be heated7.
This additional heat may be figured aind allowed for as conditions re quire,, but inasmuch as the heating system proportioned for taking care of the heat losses will usually have a capacity about 100 per cent greater than that required for average winter weather, and inasmuch as most buildings may either be continuously heated or have more time allowed for heating-up during the few minimum temperature days,- no allowance is usually made except in the size of boilers or furnaces. For churches, auditoriums and other intermittently, heated buildings, additional capacity should be provided.

bOnly the south windows are used for arriving at the window crack-for this room, on the assn that whatever air enters through the south window cracks .will- leave through the west window
or elsewhere. .
.
-
cDouble-hung wood windows with storm sash are assumed to have the same leakage per foot of c.
,
as weatherstripped windows. The air leakage per foot of crack is about 19.5 cu ft per foot of crack ft
wind velocity of 12.5 mph. fSee Table 2. Chapter 8.) The heat equivalent of the air leakage per (hoi ,
(degree temperature difference per foot of crack) is obtained by multiplying this value by 0.018. or 19.5 X
0.018 = 0.35.

din problem the ceiling heat losses are calculated by estimating the attic-temperature and then
calculating the loss through the ceiling using the proper temperature difference. This unheated attic is not
ventilated during the winter months. The attic temperature is estimated from Equation 4 to be 30.2 F
when the outside temperature is --10 F and the room temperature is 70 F. The temperature difference b
therefore 70 - 30.2 or 39.8 F.

IThe door crack is used for estimating the infiltration in this room and as the French doors are weatherstripped the infiltration coefficient b assumed to be the same as in Note h.
jThe leakage for the garage doors b assumed to be twice that for.poorly-fitted double-hung wood windows

kThe ground temperature b assumed to be 50 F and. as the garage temperature b 35 F. the heat transfer will be from the ground to the garage, and this heat gain should therefore be subtracted from the heat loss.
mThe heat losses from various rooms into the garage are heat gains for the garage.
nHeat is to be provided for the recreation room and this space b therefore figured onthebasb ofa70 F
temperature. Heat loss into the basement from recreation room.is neglected, the calculations being based
only on losses through the outside walls, glass and floor.

pThe upstairs ball ceiling b included with the downstairs entrance hall because these are connected by means of the stairway. The heat should be provided downstairs..

Solution: The calculations for this problem are given in.Table .4, and a summary
of the results in Table 5. The values in column F of Table 4 were obtained by multiplying
together the figures in columns C, D and E. The heat losses are calculated to the nearest
10 Btu. See reference notes for Table 4 for further explanation of data.

mission heat losses of 20.9 per cent are-relatively small. The infiltration losses (12.8 per cent) are also comparatively small in this case because the storm windows serve substantially the same purpose as weatherstripping. In this problem, the wall, ceiling and Boor transmission losses comprise 66.3 per cent of the total. *
Example 6. Calculate the heat loss of residence shown in Fig. 2 based on the same conditions as in Example 5 but having construction improved or insulated to obtain coefficients as follows:

LOAD calculations for summer air conditioning are more complicated than heating load calculations. Due to the variable nature of some of the contributing load components and the fact that they do not necessarily impose their- maximum effect simultaneously, considerable care must be used in determining their phase relationship.
The conditions to be maintained in an enclosure depend upon several factors, especially the outside design conditions, duration of occupancy, and relationship between air motion, dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures: Information concerning the proper indoor effective temperature to be maintained is given in Chapter 12, for different geographical locations' and for various age groups of individuals. Typical commercial design room conditions for the summer average peak load are shown in Table 1.
Summer dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures of various cities are given in Table 2. The temperatures are not the maximums but the design tem peratures which should be Used in air conditioning calculations. The maximum outside wet-bulb temperatures as given in Weather Bureau reports usually occur only from 1 to 4 per cent of the time, and because they are. of such short duration it is not practicable to design a cooling system for them. The temperatures shown in Table 2 are based on available design conditions known to be applied successfully.. .
COMPONENTS OF HEAT GAIN
. c
A cooling load determination is composed of five components which
are classified in the following manner: , .
, ...... ,
' "i
] ::
; -- '
1. Normal heat transfer through windows, walls, partitions, doors, floors, ceilings, etc.
' 2. Transfer of solar radiation through windows, walls, doors, skylights, and roof
3. Heat emission of occupants within enclosures.
4. Heat introduced by infiltration of outside air and controlled ventilation.
.
5. Heat emission of mechanical,. chemical,. gas, steam, hot water, and electrical
' appliances located within enclosures.
.
The components of heat gain; classified by source, are further classified
, as sensible and latent heat gain.
.`
* - The first two components fall into the classification of sensible heat
' gain, that is, they tend to raise the temperature of the air within the
. structure. The last three components not only produce.sensible heat
gain but they may also tend to increase the moisture content of the air-
i- within-.the structure.
'
Normal Heat Transmission ' .
,'
By normal heat transmission; as distinguished from solar heat trans mission, is meant the transmission- of heat through' windows, walls; , ^partitions,.etc. from without to interior of enclosure by. virtue of difference 'i between outside and inside air temperatures. Since the daily range of

outside air temperature is usually in. excess of 20 .F, the effective outside
temperature for normal heat transmission through walls and floors having
substantial heat capacity is usually taken 5. to 10 deg below the design
maximum outside temperature. For windows, however, the instantaneous
value of outside temperature is used. This load is calculated in a manner
similar to that described ini Chapter 14 (except that flow of heat is
reversed) by means of the formula:

Solar Heat Transmission

Calculations of the solar heat transmitted^through walls and roofs are
difficult because of periodic character of heat flow and time lag due to
heat capacity of construction.- f

intensity coming from all parts of the sky due to reflection and refraction.
This scattered radiation intensity has been found to vary from a very low .
value to values as high as 20 per cent of the total radiation observed on
certain days in Pittsburgh. The values shown on the curves in Fig. 1 are .
for combined direct solar and scattered sky radiation, and are given to ,
represent expected design radiation intensity for August 1 for Pittsburgh.
They were prepared by the A.S.H.V.E. Laboratory from data 1 obtained
by pyrheliometer observations.
'
- A study of the curves discloses the periodic relationship and wide vari ation in solar intensity on various surfaces. It will be observed that both the roof (horizontal surface) and south wall radiation curves are in exact phase relationship with each other, while those for the east and west walls: overlap each other due to scattered sky radiation on the west wall during the forenoon and on the east wall during the afternoon.. This phase . relationship has an important bearing on the cooling load. Failure to . . consider the periodic character of heat flow resulting from diurnal move ment of the sun and the lag due to heat capacity of the structure, which determine the timing and magnitude of the heat wave flowing through the wall, may result in a large error in load calculations.'
[ The values of solar intensity appearing in Fig. 1 must not be confused
with the actual heat transmission through the wall, for much of the solar-
radiation impinging against the outer surface fails to pass through the- .
wall. Instead it is delivered to the outside air by reflection, radiation,. .
' and convection. A mathematical solution for the determination of solar
heat transmission has been developed but the equations involved are too
complex , for practical application '. A simpler method embodying an,
approximate determination of the maximum contribution, to the cooling
load due to heat transfer from the inside surface of a wall exposed to
solar radiation has been developed s. ' - '

The heat flow in summer through various types of roofs and walls has been measured 4-6 by the A.S.H.V.E.- Laboratory. The curves in Figs. 2' /

95 F as shown in Fig. 4, and an indoor temperature of 75 F. Due to devi
ations in the tests from design temperature, solar conditions, and typical
construction it is believed that the values from Figs. 2 and 3, as well as
from Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 for walls, may be as much as 20 to 30 per cent
below normal design expectations. .
.
Curves in Figs. 5, .6, .7 and 8 were prepared by the A.S.H.V.E. Lab-
oratory from tests made there and show the heat flow through the inside
surface of three types of walls for various orientations 5.. The results are
given for the following conditions: 90 per cent of the solar radiation given
in Fig. 1 for 40 deg north latitude on August 1; outdoor design tempera
ture reaching a maximum of 95 F, as shown in Fig. 4, and an indoor tem
perature of. 78 F and 50 per cent relative humidity. ...
.
The heat flow shown in Figs; 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 is a combination of normal transmission and solar radiation-transmission and is the -total heat -flow through the w'all-or roof. Due to. the heat capacity of walls and roofs there is a time lag 2 in the transmission of heat through them as shown by the curves. For the types of construction covered, in these ljgures arid for the conditions indicated, the heat flow through, the inside surface at any given, time can be read directly. ,For other types of con struction, the curves may be used as a guide in estimating the heat flow.

The heat gain through southeast and southwest walls can be considered approximately the same as that through east and west walls respectively. The gain through northeast and northwest walls is less than , half that through east and west walls respectively. The time lag for other types of construction is included in Table 3 which was prepared by the A.S.H.V.E. Laboratory from data collected by it and by other authorities. . '
Solar Radiation Transmitted Through Glass
:
Windows present a problem'somewhat different from that of opaque walls, because they permit a large percentage of the solar energy to pass through. A small portion is reflected and an additional portion is ab sorbed by the glass. The reflected portion increases with the index of refraction and with the decrease of the angle of the sun with the' glass. The absorbed portion increases with the glass thickness and with decreas ing angle of the sun with the glass. It also depends on the character of glass; some heat.absorbing glass having a very high absorptive value.
The absorbed heat warms the glass, causing an increase in the inward
flow of heat due to temperature difference. In effect, therefore, a portion
of the absorbed heat passes inward and can be considered as a part of the
room load due to solar radiation. Particularly where heat: absorbent glass
or glass block is used, without shades; the increase in temperature of the
inner surface may be sufficiently great to cause serious added discomfort
due to direct radiation of heat.
1.
' The amount of heat delivered to a room due to solar radiation may be
obtained from'Tables 4 to 9. -These.values should be used only for the net glass area on which the sun shines. In addition, to obtain the total heat gain, computation should be made of the heat transmission due to temperature difference according to Equation 1. The solar radiation data .

angle of the sun to the wall and so forth. These Values-, therefore, can be
considered approximate only, and will have to be used with considerable
judgment.

glass should be multiplied to take into account the effect'of difference from
the- usual transmissivity of glass (1 minus absorptivity minus reflectivity)
for perpendicularly incident radiation. These tables are for use primarily

based upon radiation perpendicular to the glass; and arefor use with single

by increased shading of the glass from the frame, or wall. Another point
which should be noted is that the maximum solar radiation load on the
east wall occurs early in the mbrning when the outside temperature is low.
Tests9 have shown that where sunlight from bare windows impinges
upon floors and walls of high heat capacity, the effect of the radiation is
not immediately felt in the room. On the other hand,- where shades or
blinds are used, the heat may go directly into the air or it may rise to
. the top of the.room and not be immediately, reflected in the room load.
For these reasons it is customary, to assume a load somewhat below the
maximum value; the amount of this reduction being largely a matter of.
individual judgment depending upon,the particular problem in hand, but
possibly being of the order of 10 to 20 per cent reduction from the maxi
mum.
..
.
The direct solar and' scattered sky radiation penetration through glass block panels is given in Table 12 for various times'of the day for south,east and west exposures for different latitudes on August 1. This table
CHAPTER 15
- 1946 Guide
also gives the total heat gain intb an air conditioned space when 78 F is maintained indoors, resulting from the effect of both radiation and air to air transmission. These values result from A.S.H.V.E. Laboratory data 1 and apply for expected design radiation intensity, and for a design day having a maximum temperature of 95 F. The resulting heat gains are averages for four typical glass block designs, two having smooth exterior faces, and the other two having exterior ribbed faces.
Heat Emission of Occupants
The heat and moisture given off by human beings under, different states
of activity are shown in various tables and figures of Chapter 12 which
covers the physical and physiological principles of air conditioning. It
will be observed, from these data that the rate of sensible and latent
heat emission by human beings varies greatly depending upon state of
activity. In many applications this component becomes- a large per.-
centage'of total load. Metabolic rates are markedly variable for some
extreme environmental conditions and this is another important factor
which must be considered in cooling load computations.. Consideration
should be given to the typical age and sex of the occupants (whether men,
women, or children) and the duration of-the occupancy (since for short
occupancy applications the extra heat and moisture -brought in by people
may be an important factor in the toad).
:
Heat Introduced by Outside Air
Heat and, moisture are added by the outside air introduced for venti
lation purposes and also by infiltration air entering the building through
cracks, openings, and doors. '
.
The volume of air entering due to infiltration may be estimated from
data given in Chapters 8 and 14. Information on the amount of outride
air required for ventilation 'will be found in Chapter 12. In general,
ventilation air is supplied on a per person basis at a rate between 5 and 30
cfm per person (10 to 20 cfm being normal good practice), its specific .
amount depending upon the amount of contamination by smoke, food-
odors, etc.
..
> As outside air is introduced through the air conditioning apparatus it
tends to decrease infiltration by building up the pressure within the
building. Usually, however, some infiltration still occurs unless the
amount of outside air is very large. .- For instance, it is necessary to supply
between 2,000 and 3,000 cfm of outside air through the apparatus to
prevent infiltration through a single swinging door.. As no demonstrated
factors are generally available for the effect (on infiltration) of outside air
introduced through the apparatus, it is necessary to use judgment in
assigning an effect.
.
.. '
...
In .determining the amount of outside air which must be drawn through
the apparatus the amount of air needed for ventilation is established and '
it is normally possible to subtract from this the assumed amount of
infiltration: The division between the ventilation provided by infiltration
and by outside air is important to the designer, since the infiltration adds
directly to the room sensible and moisture toads, whereas the outside
air brought through the apparatus affects only the refrigeration load and
the dehumidifier performance (except where shallow coils are used,, in
which case a portion of the outside air ineffectively "by-passed" through
the coil): '

Heat Emission of Appliances
..
Heat generating appliances which give off either sensible heat or both
sensible and latent heat in an air conditioned enclosure may be divided into three general, classes of equipment or devices: (1) electrical ap
pliances, (2) gas appliances, and (3). steam heating appliances.
. In the first group may be found such devices as lights10, fans, motors, toasters, waffle irons, etc. -The heat load caused by such devices may normally be obtained by multiplying the nameplate rating in watts by an appropriate load factor and'by 3.4 (Btu per watt hour). In some cases it may also be possible to remove some of the heat.of such appliances as lights and motors with exhaust air without involving it in the room load.
. Electric motors aire usually rated in'units of horsepower output. ,To determine' the conesponding- input, which is the rate' at which heat is added to the conditioned space by full-load, operation of such motors,
some idea of motor efficiency is necessary. The aggregate input in horse power should then be multiplied by 2546 (Btu per horsepower hour)! .'
' Motor efficiencies can be assumed about as follows: Motor efficiencies
vary from 50 to 60 per cent a.t the hp level to 80 per cent at 1 hp and
' 88 per cent at 10 hp and above. Where the motor is outside of the
conditioned space the heat equivalent of'the motor output only is used,
but where the motor is inside of the. space the heat equivalent of the
output divided by the efficiency is used.
""
In the second group belong such appliances as coffee urns, gas ranges,
steam tables;'broilers, .hot plates, etc. For heat generating capacities
of such appliance's refer to Table-13, - '.

depend upon whether products of combustion are.vented to a flue, whether . they escape into the space to be conditioned,-or. whether appliances are'
hooded allowing part of the heat to escape through a stack. There me
no generally accepted data available on the effects of venting and shield
ing heating appliances but it, is believed that,, when they, are properly hooded with a positive fan exhaust system, through the hood, 50 per' cent of the heat will be carried away and 50 per cent dissipated in the
space to be conditioned. The same effectiveness of the hood should
be figured for both latent and sensible heat. : . '

In some applications walls of the conditioned space may- be in contact
with other spaces which have in .them a, higher water vapor pressure.than
that in the conditioned space. It is known that water, vapor will flow'
through the building materials in proportion`to. the'vapor pressure dif-
ference on the two sides of the materia).,,.'The, total.amount of water
. vapor transmitted is dependent on the permeability which isJ usually
expressed in grains of moisture per (square foot) (hour) (inch of-mercury
vapor pressure difference). The values,for permeability in Table 14 are quoted from a publication :6i Hie Natumal'-Bureau of: Standards11. The
water vapor entering the .conditioned space must be added.to the latent

Solution. It is obvious from the shape and exposure of this store and the large glass area on the west side that the maximum cooling load will1 occur during the afternoon when the sun is shining on the west wall. -From-Fig. 1, the peak load may be expected
at 4:00 p.m.
The combined normal transmission and solar radiation transmission through the roof
at 4:00 p.m. is obtained from Fig. 2. While none of the roofs in Fig. 2 is exactly like
this one, roof 4 is similar. A heat flow of 8)4 Btu per (square foot) (hour) was assumed,
20 per cent more than for roof 4. The combined normal transmission and solar radiation
transmission through the south and west walls at 4:00 p.m. is obtained from curves in
Figs. 7 and 8. Note that the curve values for combined wall transmission have been
increased by a judgment factor of 20 per cent. Also, that the values are still only about
half what would be obtained due to normal transmission taking the instantaneous tem
perature difference.
'
The normal heat transmission through the south and west glass, floor and partition is determined by application of Equation !. The solar radiation effect passing through bare south and west glass is determined from Table 7 as being 18 and 193 Btu per (square foot) (hour) respectively. This is multiplied by'a haze factor of 0.9 (10 per cent reduc tion) and by a factor of 0.25 to take account of the awning (Table 10). It will be seen that the sun effect on the south glass might well have been neglected.
To determine the load imposed by occupants, it will be found from Chapter 12 that
the average person standing at rest will dissipate 431 Btu per hour, and that the moisture
dissipated is 0.198 lb per hour.
..
.
The amount of infiltration through a swinging door is determined from Table 3,
Chapter 8 as being 3)4 cfm per person for 40 patrons or 140 cfni total. Since the windows
are sealed it can be assumed that this is the- only infiltration which will occur. The
infiltration affects both the sensible and latent load of the room and, therefore, must be'
considered separately from the outside air passed through the apparatus for ventilation
purposes which affects the room conditions little or none. (See Chapter 7 and 43 for
treatment of "by-passed" outside air as a part of the room load.)
The ventilation requirements as given in Table 1, Chapter 12 would indicate the need
of about 9 cfm per person based on a volume of the store of 21,600 cu ft and 50 persons
making a total volume of' 450 cu ft. ..However, the ventilation requirements in the
summer are somewhat greater than those in the winter and, therefore; 10 cfm per person
or 500 cfm total will be chosen. From this should be subtracted the estimated infiltration
of 140 cfm, making a net amount of outside air to be drawn through the apparatus of
360 cfm.
..
The total heat addition due. to the infiltration and outside air is determined from
Equation 3, and the moisture addition is determined from Equation 4.
'' .'
The room tptal load is then made up of normal transmission,.combined normal.and
sun radiation transmission, solar radiation through glass, heat from occupants, total
heat addition due to infiltrations, and heat from lights.
'
It is necessary to determine only the amount of water condensed from the air (not the
latent heat). In considering the room load this consists of the water evaporated from the
people plus the excess water in the infiltration air.
- . .
..
The excess heat and moisture load due to the outside air tends to raise the return air
temperature and moisture content, but if the dehdmidifier is 100 per cent effective and
fully saturates the leaving air, the outside air load has no direct effect upon the.room.
It, therefore, should be determined separately and added only in connection with the
determination of the refrigeration requirements. .

Combustion Principles, Heat and Flames; Air Required, Excess Air and Secondary Air; Draft Requirements, Classic beation of Coal and Coke, Firing Methods, Classification and Combustion of Oil and Gas; Dustless Treatment of Coal
THE data given in the first part of this chapter are of general appli cation to the various fuels used in domestic heating which are coal, coke, oil and gas. The choice of fuel is a question of dependability, cleanliness, fuel availability, economy, operating requirements and control.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF COMBUSTION
Combustion may be defined as the chemical combination of a substance with oxygen with a resultant evolution of heat. The rate of combustion depends partly upon the specific rate of reaction of. the combustible substance with oxygen, partly upon the rate at which oxygen is supplied, and upon the temperature obtained due to surrounding conditions.
Complete combustion is obtained when all of the combustible elements in the fuel are oxidized with all of the oxygen with which they can combine. All of the oxygen supplied may not be utilized.
Perfect combustion is -defined as the result of supplying the required amount of oxygen for combination with all of the combustible elements of the fuel and utilizing all of the oxygen so supplied.
The oxygen required for the process of combustion is obtained from air which is a mechanical mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and small amounts of carbon dioxide, water vapor and inert gases. These inert gases are generally included with the nitrogen, and for engineering purposes the values given herewith may be used.

The combination of oxygen with the combustible elements and com-, pounds of a fuel is in accordance with fixed laws. In the case of perfect combustion the reactions and resultant combinations are shown in Table 1.
The most important condition governing the process of combustion, is temperature. It is necessary to bring a combustible substance to its ignition temperature before it will unite in chemical combination with. oxygen to produce combustion. The ignition temperatures for several of the combustible constituents of fuels are presented in Table 1.
;
HEAT OF COMBUSTION
As previously stated, the process of combustion results in the evolution
of heat. The heat generated by the complete combustion of a unit of fuel
is. constant for a given combination of combustible elements and com- .
pounds, and is known as the heat of combustion, calorific value, or heating
value of the fuel.
.

, . ' >

The heat of combustion of the several fuel elements and compounds in
their pure state is given in Table 1:
'
The reaction of the carbon in the'fuel with oxygen may result in the'
formation of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. In burning-to carbon
monoxide, the carbon is not completely oxidized and, as shown by the
data, the heat produced is considerably less than if it were completely
oxidized. This fact is of greatest importance in considering the efficiency ,
of combustion.
,
The calorific value of a fuel is determined by direct measurement of the heat evolved during combustion in a calorimeter. Although the ash and moisture content of coal from a given mine or locality may vary widely, the heating value of the coal, on a moisture and ash free basis, remains relatively constant. ' It is therefore possible to approximate the heating value of a shipment of coal as received if its moisture and ash content are determined, and if the heating value of similar coal on a moisture and ash free basis is known. This may be calculated by Equation 1.
Heating value, as received =
Heating value, moisture and ashfree X [100 -- (Moisture + Ash)] 100
,,, UJ
where, moisture and ash are expressed in per cent.
. Typical analyses.of the coals of the United States are given in U. S.
Bureau of Mines Bulletin HQ.
'
As practically all fuels, including coal, oil,, and gas, contain hydrogen, water vapor is one of the products of combustion. The amount of water vapor produced is proportional to the hydrogen content of the fuel.
When the heating value of a fuel is determined in a.calorimeter the
water vapor is condensed and the latent heat of vaporization is included
in the heating value of the fuel. The heating value so determined is
termed the gross or higher heating value and this is what is ordinarily
meant when the heating value of a fuel is specified. In burning the fuel,'
however, the products of-combustion are not cooled to the dew-point and
the higher heating value cannot be. obtained.

FLAME
The appearance of the flame or products of combustion may serve as an approximate measure of the temperatures developed in the combustion process. The luminosity of a flame is caused by the heating to incan descence of unconsumed particles of combustible matter in the gases, and the higher the temperature of these particles the whiter the flame. Table 2 gives some approximate flame temperature data. '

. AIR REQUIRED FOR COMBUSTION
The weight of air required for the perfect combustion of a pound of fuel
may be determined by use of the ultimate analysis of the fuel as applied to
Equations 2 to 4. The various elements are expressed in percentages
by weight.

between firings the combustion goes through a cycle in each period and the quantity of excess air present varies.
Due to the different carbon-hydrogen ratios of the different fuels the maximum COy attainable varies. Representative values for perfect com bustion of several fuels are given in Table-4.
In considering the factor of excess air it should be noted that a deficien
cy of air supply will result in combustible products passing to the stack ,
unbumed. An excess of air.absorbs heat from the products of combustion
and results in a greater loss of sensible heat'to the stack. An excess of air
is always required, however, to eliminate combustible losses occasioned'
by poor mixing of the fuel and air.: It is considered good practice, under
usual operating conditions, to supply from 25 to 50 per cent excess air,-
dependent upon the fuel utilized.
;
' -.
SECONDARY AIR
When bituminous coal is hand-fired in a furnace the volatile matter in the fuel distills off leaving coke on the grate. The product of combustion
.of the coke is COy and under certain conditions some CO may arise from
the bed. The combustion of the volatile matter and the CO may amount to the. liberation of from 40 to 60 per cent of the heat in the fuel in the
combustion space over the fuel bed. ...
-
The air that passes through the fuel bed is called primary air and the
- Fuels and' Combustion,
';. 303
air that is admitted over the fuel bed in order to burn the volatile matter
and CO is called secondary air.
i
This process of combustion is illustrated in Fig. 2 *. The free oxygen of
the air passes through the grate and the ash above it and burns the carbon in the lower 3 or 4 in. of the fuel bed forming carbon dioxide. This layer noted as the oxidizing zone is indicated' by the symbols COy and Ot. Some.of the.carbon dioxide of. the oxidizing zone is reduced to carbon
monoxide in the upper layer of the fuel bed noted as the reducing zone and indicated by the symbols. COy and CO. The gases leaving the- fuel
bed are mainly carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen ,and a small amount of free oxygen. Free oxygen is admitted through the firing door in an attempt to burn carbon monoxide and the volatile combustible .
distilled from the freshly fired fuel:
The division of the total into primary and secondary air necessary to produce the same rate of burning and the same excess air depends on a
Fig 2. Combustion of Fuel in a Hand-Fired Furnace
number of factors which include size and type of fuel, depth of fuel bed,
and size of fire-pot.
'~
.
Size of the fuel is a very important factor in fixing the quantity of secondary air required for non-caking coals. With caking coals it is not so important bemuse small pieces fuse together and form large lumps. Fortunately a smaller size fuel gives more resistance to air flow through the fuel bed and thus'automatically causes a larger draft above the fuel bed, which draws in more secondary air through the same slot openings, " but, nevertheless, the smallest size of fuel will require the largest second ary air openings. For. certain sizes of fuel no secondary air openings sire ' required, and for large sizes, too much excess air may pass through the fuel bed.
It is impossible to establish a single rule for the correct slot opening for
all types and sizes of fuels and for all rates of burning. Furthermore,.the
effect of slot opening is dependent on whether the ashpit damper is open
or closed.
Bituminous coals require a large amount of secondary air during the period after firing in order to burn the gases and to reduce the smoke. The smoke produced is a good indicator, and that opening is best which reduces the smoke to a minimum. Too much secondary air will cool the gases below the ignition point, and prove harmful instead.of beneficial.
. Secondary' air that-enters the combustion, chamber too far removed from the zone of combustion will also be harmful, for the oxygen in the
304
CHAPTER 16
1946 Guide
secondary air will not react with any unburned gases unless the mixture
is subjected to high temperatures.
'
The air requirements of oil and gas burners are discussed in Chapter 17, Automatic Fuel Burning Equipment.
DRAFT REQUIREMENTS
The draft required to effect a given rate of burning the fuel is dependent on the following factors:
.1. Kind and size of fuel. .
2. Grate area.
3. Thickness of fuel bed.
.
4. Type and amount of ash and clinker accumulation.
5. Amount of excess air present in the gases.
'
6. Resistance offered by the boiler passes to the flow of the gases.
7. Accumulation of soot in the passes.
,
Insufficient draft will necessitate additional manipulation of the fuel
bed and more frequent cleanings to keep its resistance down. Insufficient
draft also restricts the control that can be accomplished by adjustment
of the dampers.
/
The quantity of excess air present has a marked effect on the draft required to produce a given rate of burning.. If the excess is caused by holes in the fuel bed, or an extremely thin fuel bed, it is often possible to produce a higher rate of burning by increasing the thickness of the bed. The thickness of the fuel bed should not, however, be increased too much because the increased draft resistance will reduce the rate of primary air supply and the rate of burning.
For amount of draft required see Chapter 19, Chimneys and Draft
Calculations.
.
DRAFT REGULATION
Because of the varying heating load demands present in most instal lations it is necessary to vary the rate of fuel burning. The maintenance. of the proper air supply for the various rates of burning is accomplished by regulation of the drafts. Correct and incorrect methods of draft regulation are shown in Fig. 3. The air enters through the ashpit draft door, firing door and by leaks in the setting, whereas the gases leave only through the uptake. By throttling the gases with the damper in the,

305
uptake all the air entering by each of the three intakes is reduced in the same proportion. If the ashpit draft door is closed, the air admitted through.the ashpit is reduced, while it is increased through the other two intake openings.
Methods of control of draft conditions when burning oil or gas are
noted in Chapter 17, Automatic Fuel Burning Equipment.

CLASSIFICATION OF COALS
The complex composition of coal makes it difficult to classify it into clear-cut types. Its chemical composition is some indication but coals having the same chemical analysis may have distinctly different burning characteristics. Users are mainly interested in the available heat per

pound of coal, in the handling and storing properties, and in the burning characteristics. A description of the relationship between the qualities of coals and these characteristics requires considerable space: a treatment applicable to heating boilers is given in a Bureau of Mines Bulletin2.
. Coal composition may be expressed by either an ultimate or proximate analysis. In the ultimate analysis the proportions of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, and ash are determined. This form of analysis is difficult to make and is used only for extremely, close* studies. The proximate analysis is more easily made and is satisfactory for most purposes. In this analysis, the proportions of moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash are determined. Moisture is obtained by noting the loss of weight of a sample of coal when dried at about 220 F. To determine volatile matter, the dried sample is heated to about 1750 F, 1 in a closed crucible, and the loss of weight is noted. The sample is then burned in an open crucible, and the accompanying loss of weight repre sents the fixed carbon. The unburned residue is ash. Although deter mined separately, the sulphur content is frequently reported with a proximate analysis.
Other important qualities of coals are the screen sizes, ash fusion
temperature, friability; caking tendency, and the qualities of the volatile
matter. In considering these factors the following points are of interest.
The volatile products given off by coals when they are heated differ
1 materially in the ratios by weight of the gases to the oils and tars. No .
heavy oils or tars are given off by anthracite, and very small quantities
are given off by semi-anthracite. ` As the volatile matter in the coal .
increases to as much as 40 per cent of ash and moisture-free coal, in
creasing amounts of oils and tars are released. For coals of higher
volatile content, the relative quantity of oils and tars decreases, so it
is low in the' sub-bituminous coals and in lignite. The percentage of ash
and its fusion temperature do not indicate the composition or distribu-
tion of its constituents.
^ A classification of coals is given in Table 5, and a brief description of the
kinds of fuel is given in the following paragraphs, but it should be -
recognized that there are no distinct lines of demarcation between the
kinds, and that they graduate into each other.
_
' Anthracite is a clean, dense, hard coal which creates little dust in handling. It is com
paratively hard to ignite but it burns freely when well started. It is non-caking, it burns
uniformly and smokelessly with a short flame, and it requires no attention to the fuel bed
* between firings. It is capable of giving a high efficiency in the common types of hand
fired furnaces. A tabulation of the quality of the various anthracite sizes will be found in
a Bureau of Mines Report *. Standard anthracite sizing specifications are shown in
Table 6.
..
Semi-anthracite has a higher volatile content than anthracite. It is not so hard and. ignites somewhat more easily; otherwise its properties are similar to those of anthracite.
Semi-bituminous coal is soft and friable, and fines and dust are created by handling it. It ignites somewhat slowly and burns with a medium length of flame. Its caking prop
* erties increase as the volatile matter increases, but the coke formed is relatively weak.' . Having only half the volatile matter content of the more abundant bituminous coals it
: can be burned with less production of smoke,- and it is sometimes called smokeless'coal.
The term bituminous coal covers a large range of coals and includes many types having distinctly different composition, properties, and burning characteristics. The coals range . from the high-grade bituminous coals of the East to the poorer coals of the West. Their caking properties range from coals which completely melt, to those from which the volatiles and tars are distilled without change of form, so that they are classed as non-, caking or free-burning. Most bituminous coals are strong and non-friable enough to
permit of the screened sizes being delivered free from fines. In general, they ignite*

easily and burn freely; the length of flame varies with different coals, but it is long. Much smoke and soot are possible, if improperly fired, especially at low rates of burning. .
Sub-bituminous' coals~occur in the western states; they are high in moisture when
mined and tend to break up as they dry or when exposed to the weather; they are.liable
to ignite spontaneously when piled or stored. They ignite easily and quickly and have a.
medium length flame, are non-caking and free-burning; the lumps tend to break into
small pieces if poked; very little smoke and soot are formed.
Lignite is of woody structure, very high in moisture as mined, and of low heating *
value; it is clean to handle. It has a greater tendency than the sub-bituminous coals to
disintegrate as it dries, and it also is more liable to spontaneous ignition. Freshly mined
lignite, because of its high moisture, ignites slowly. It is non-caking. The char left after
the moisture and volatile matter are driven off burns very easily, like charcoal. The
lumps tend to break up in the fuel bed and pieces of char falling into the ashpit continue
to burn. Very little smoke or soot is formed.
/t
CLASSIFICATION OF COKES
Coke is produced by the distillation of the volatile matter from coal. The type of coke depends on the coal or mixture of coals used, the temperatures and time of distil lation and, to some extent, on the type of retort or oven; coke is also produced as a residue from the destructive distillation of oil.
High-temperature cokes. Coke as usually available is of the high-temperature type,
and contains between 1 and 2 per cent volatile matter. High-temperature cokes are sub
divided into beehive coke of which comparatively little is now sold for domestic use, by
product coke, which covers the greater part of the coke sold, and gas-house coke. The
differences among these three cokes are relatively small; their denseness and hardness
decrease and friability increases in the order named. In general, the lighter and more
friable cokes ignite and burn the more easily.
.
Low-temperature cokes are produced at low coking temperatures, and only a portion
of the volatile.matter is distilled off. Cokes as made by various processes under develop
ment have contained from 10 to 15 per cent volatile matter. In general, these cokes
ignite and burn .more readily than high-temperature cokes. The properties of various
low-temperature cokes may differ more than those of the various high-temperature cokes
because of the differences_in the quantities of volatile matter and because some may be
light and others briquetted.
^
.
Petroleum cokes, which.are obtained by coking the residue left from the distillation of
petroleum, vary in the amount of volatile matter they contain, but all have the common
property of a very low ash content, which necessitates the use of refractory pieces to
protect the grates from being burned.

FIRING METHODS FOB ANTHRACITE
An anthracite fire should never be poked or disturbed, as this serves to bring ash to the surface of the fuel bed where it may melt into clinker.
Egg size is suitable for large fire-pots (grates 24 in. and over) if the fuel can be fired at least 16 in. deep. For best results this coal should be fired deeply.
Stove size coal is the proper size of anthracite for many boilers and furnaces used for heating buildings. It burns well on grates at least 16 in. in diameter and 12 in. deep. The fuel should be fired deeply and uniformly.
Chestnut size coal is in demand for fire-pots up to 20 in. in diameter, with a depth of from 10 to 15 in.
Pea size coal is often an economical fuel to burn. When fired carefully,
pea coal can be burned on standard grates. Care should be taken to
shake the grates only until the first bright coals begin to fall through the
grates. The fuel bed, after a new fire has been built, should be increased
in thickness by the addition of small charges until it is at least level with
the sill of the fire-door. A satisfactory method of firing pea coal consists
of drawing the red coals toward the front end and piling fresh fuel toward .
the back of the fire-box.
.
Pea size coal requires a strong draft and therefore the best results generally will, be obtained by keeping the choke damper open and regu lating solely by means of the cold air check and the air inlet damper.
Buckwheat size coal for'best results requires more attention than pea size coal, and in addition the smaller size of the fuel makes it more difficult to burn on ordinary grates. Greater care must be taken in shaking the grates than with the pea coal on account of the danger of the fuel filing
through the grate.- In house heating furnaces the coal should be fired lightly and more frequently than pea coal. When banking a buckwheat coal fire it is advisable after coaling to expose a small spot of hot fire by putting a straight poker down through the bed of fresh coal. This will serve to ignite the gas that will be distilled from the fresh coal and prevent delayed ignition within the fire-pot, which in some cases, depending upon the thickness of the bed of fresh coal, is severe enough to blow open the doors and dampers of the furnace. Where frequent attention can be given and care exercised in manipulation of the grates this fuel can be burned satisfactorily without the aid of any special equipment.
In general it will bq found more satisfactory with buckwheat coal to
. maintain a uniform heat output and consequently to keep the system
warm all the time, rather than to allow the system to cool off at times and
then to attempt to burn the fuel at a high rate while warming up. A uni
form low fire will minimize the clinker formation and keep the clinker in
an easily broken up condition so that it readily can be shaken through
the grate.
' ,.
Forced draft and small mesh grates are frequently used for burning
buckwheat anthracite. For greater convenience, domestic stokers are
used.
''
Buckwheat anthracite No. 2, or rice size, is used principally in stokers
of the domestic, commercial and industrial type. No. 3 buckwheat
anthracite, or barley, has no application-in domestic heating.

FIRING METHODS FOR BITUMINOUS GOAL
A commonly recommended procedure for firing domestic heating units,
called the side-bank method, requires the movement of live coals to one side or the back of the grate, and placing the fresh fuel charge on the opposite side. The results are a more uniform release of volatile gases,
and the subjection of these gases to the high temperature of the red coals.
If the fresh charge is covered with a layer of fine coal, still better results
may be obtained because of slower release of volatile matter.
Bituminous coal should never be fired over the entire fuel bed at one
time. A portion of the glowing fuel should always be left exposed to
ignite the gases leaving the fresh charge.
The importance of firing bituminous coal in small quantities at short intervals is discussed.in a U. S. Bureau of Mines technical paper1. Better
combustion is obtained by this method in that the fuel supply is main
tained more nearly proportional to the air supply.
If the coal is of the caking kind the fresh charge will fuse into one solid mass which can be broken up with the stoking bar and leveled from 20
min to one hour after firing, depending on the temperature of the fire-box.
Care should be exercised when stoking not to bring the bar up to the
surface of the fuel as this will tend to bring ash into the high temperature zone at the top of the fire, where it will melt and form clinker. The
stoking bar should be kept as near the grate as possible and should be
raised only enough to break up the fuel. With fuels requiring stoking it
may not be necessary to shake the grates, as the ash is usually dislodged
during stoking.
'
. It is acknowledged that it may be difficult to apply the outlined methods to domestic heating boilers of small size, especially when frequent attendance is impractical. The adherence to these methods insofar as
practical, however, will result in better combustion.
The output obtained from any heater with bituminous coal will usually
exceed that obtained with anthracite, since bituminous coal burns more. rapidly than anthracite and with less draft. Bituminous coal, however,
will usually require frequent attention to the fuel bed.
Preventing Smoke
'
In general, time, temperature and turbulence are the essential require ments for smokeless combustion. Anything that can be done to increase . any one of these factors will reduce the quantity of smoke discharged. Especial care must be taken in hand-firing bituminous coals.
. Checker or alternate firing, in which the fuel is fired alternately on
separate parts of the grate, maintains a higher furnace temperature and
thereby decreases the amount of smoke. '
.
Coking and firing, in which the fuel is first fired close to the firing door and the coke pushed back into the furnace just before firing again, pro.duces the same effect. The volatiles as they are distilled thus have to pass over the hot fuel bed where they will be burned if they are mixed with sufficient air and are not cooled too quickly by the heat-absorbing surfaces of the boiler.
Steam or compressed air jets, admitted over the fire, create turbulencein the furnace and bring the volatiles of the fuel more quickly into contact with the air required for combustion. These jets are especially helpful for the first few minutes after each firing. Frequent firings of small
charges shorten the smoking period and reduce the density.. Thinner
310
CHAPTER 16
1946 Guide
fuel beds on the grate increase the effective combustion space in the . furnace, supply more air for combustion, and are sometimes effective in
reducing the smoke emitted, but care should be taken that holes are not formed in the fire. A lower volatile coal or a higher A.P.I. gravity oil
always produces less smoke than a high volatile coal or low A.P.I. gravity oil used in the same furnace and fired in the same manner.
The installation of more modern or better designed fuel burning equip
ment, or a change in the construction of the furnace, will often reduce
. smoke. The installation of a Dutch oven which will increase the furnace
volume and raise the furnace temperature often produces satisfactory
results.
,
In the case of new installations, the problem of smoke abatement can
be solved by the selection of the. proper fuel-burning equipment and furnace design for the particular fuel to be burned and by the proper operation of that equipment. Constant vigilance is necessary to make
certain that the equipment is properly operated. In old installations the solution of the problem presents many difficulties, and a considerable
investment in special apparatus is often necessary.
Lower rates of combustion per square foot of grate area will reduce the quantity of solid matter discharged from the chimney with the gases of
combustion. The burning of coke, coking coal, and sized coal from which
the extremely fine coal has been removed will not as a general rule produce
as much dust and cinders as will result from the burning of non-cokirig
coals and slack coals when they are burned on a grate.
,
. Modem boiler installations are usually designed for high capacity per
square foot of ground area because such designs give the lowest cost of construction per unit of capacity. Designs of this type discharge a large quantity of dust and cinders with the gases of combustion, and if
pollution of the atmosphere is to be prevented, some type of catcher must
be installed.
'
FIRING METHODS FOR SEMI-BITUMINOUS COAL
The Pocahontas Operators' Association recommends the central cone method of firing, in which the coal is heaped on to the center of the bed
forming a cone, the top of which should be level with the middle of the firing door. This allows the larger lumps to fall to the sides, and the fines to remain in the center and be coked. The poking should be limited to breaking down the coke without stirring, and to gently rocking the grates. ' It is recommended that the slides in the firing door be kept closed, as the thinner fuel bed around the sides allows enough air to get through.
FIRING METHODS FOR COKE
Coke ignites less readily than bituminous coal and more readily than anthracite and burns rapidly with little draft. In order to control the air admitted to the fuel it is very important that all openings or leaks into the ashpit be closed tightly. A coke fire.responds rapidly to the opening of the dampers. This is an advantage in warming up the system, but it also makes it necessary to watch the dampers more closely in order to prevent the fire from burning too rapidly. In order to obtain the same interval of attention as with other fuels a deep fuel bed always should.be maintained when burning coke. The grates should be shaken only. slightly in mild weather and should be shaken only until the first red particles drop from the grates in cold weather. The best size of coke for

general use, for small fire-pots where the fuel depth is not over 20 in., is that which passes over a 1 in. screen and through a \x/i in. screen. For large fire-pots where the fuel can be fired over 20 in. deep, coke which passes over a 1 in. screen.and through a 3 in. screen can be used, but a coke of uniform size is always more satisfactory. Large sizes of coke should be either mixed with fine sizes or broken up before using.
FURNACE VOLUME
.
The principal requirements for a hand-fired, furnaceiaie that it shall have enough grate area and correctly proportioned combustion space. The. amount of grate area required is dependent upon-the desired combustion rate.
The furnace volume is influenced by the kind of coal used. Bituminous
coals, on account of their long-flaming characteristic, require more space
in which to burn the gases of combustion completely than do the coals
low in volatile matter. For burning high volatile coals provision should
be made for mixing the combustible gases thoroughly; so that combustion
is complete before the gases come in contact with the relatively cool
heating surfaces.- An abrupt change in the direction of flow tends to mix
the gases of combustion more thoroughly. Anthracite requires com-'
paratively little combustion space.
.
CLASSIFICATION OF OILS
The Commercial Standard Specifications for Fuel Oils (CS 12-40) of the U. S. Department of Commerce are given in Table 7. These speci fications conform with American Society for Testing Materials Tentative .Specifications for Fuel Oils D396-38T.
The A.P.I. gravity of oil is of interest in it& relationship to the calorific " value and these data are given in Table 8. -
COMBUSTION OF OIL
, With oil, as with any kind of fuel, efficient heat production requires that all combustible matter in the fuel shall be completely consumed and that it shall be done with a minimum of excess air. The combustion of oil is a rather rapid chemical reaction. Excess air provides an over supply of oxygen so that all of the oil will be completely oxidized and thus produce all the heat possible. The use of unreasonable quantities of air in excess of theoretical combustion requirements results in lowered efficiencies due to increased stack losses. Such losses, if not accompanied by unbumed products of combustion, may be offset somewhat by in creasing the secondary heating surfaces of the heat absorbing medium. , boiler or furnace. Oil is a highly concentrated fuel composed mainly of

converted into -a- gas of vapor by some means. If the excess air is to be
kept within efficient limits, air must be supplied in carefully regulated
quantities. The air and oil vapor must be thoroughly mixed to get a
rapid and complete chemical reaction. The better the mixing, the less
excess air will be needed. The combustion must take place in a space that
maintains the temperatures high so the reaction will be completed.
-
CLASSIFICATION OF GAS
Gas is broadly classified as being either natural or manufactured:' Natural gas is a mechanical mixture of several combustible and inert gases rather than a chemical compound. Manufactured gas as dis tributed is usually a combination of.certain proportions^ gases produced . by two or more processes. Representative properties of gaseous fuels commonly used in domestic heating are presented in Table 9.
Natural gas is the richest of the gases and contains from 80 to 95 per cent methane, with small percentages of the other combustible hydrocarbons. In addition, it contains from 0.5 to 5.0 per cent of COt, and from 1 to 12 or 14 per cent of nitrogen. The heat value varies from 1000 to 1200 Btu per cubic foot, th.e majority of natural gases averaging about 1000 Btu per cubic foot. Table 9 shows typical values for thefour main oil fields, although values from any one field vary materially.
'
, : .
' 314CHAPTER 16^^-1946 Guide
Table 9 also gives the calorific values of the more common types of
. manufactured gas. Most states have legislation which controls the distri-. .
button of gas and fixes a minimum limit to its heat content. The gross
or higher calorific value usually ranges between 520 and 545 Btu per cubic
foot, with an average of 535. A given heat value may be maintained and
yet leave considerable latitude in the composition of the gas so that as
distributed the composition is not necessarily the same in different dis
tricts, nor at successive times in the same district. However, in any
community the variations in gas composition are held within suitable
limits so that the performance of approved gas appliances will not be
adversely affected.
'
..
_ COMBUSTION OF GAS
The majority of gas burners utilized in central domestic heating plants are of the Bunsen type and operate with a non-luminous flame. In this
type of burner part of the air required for combustion is mixed with the gas as primary air, the air and gas mixture being fed to the burner ports. Additional secondary air is introduced around the flame by draft inspi' ration. In the luminous flame burner, which is sometimes used, all of die , . air for combustion is brought in contact with the flame as secondary air. This secondary air should be brought into intimate contact with the' gas.
, . Some makes of burners use radiants or refractories to convert some of
tbe energy in the gets to radiant heat. The radiants also serve as baffles
in directing the flow of the products of combustion.
,
The quantity of air given in Table 9 is that required for theoretical
combustion, but with a properly designed and installed burner the excess
- air can be kept low. In Order to insure freedom from carbon monoxide
.. under conditions which may obtain in installations, it is customary to
design gas burning appliances for a supply of 30 to 35 per cent of excess
air. In individual installations in which flue gas analyses are made, the
. excess air is sometimes reduced to approximately 20 per cent. The
division of the air into primary and secondary is a matter of burner
' design, the pressure of gas available, and the type of flame desired.
_
, The air gas ratio has a decided effect upon flame propagation. It is - ' necessary that the gas will flow out of the burner ports fast enough so that
the flame cannot travel back into the burner head. i.e. flash back, but the ' velocity must not be so high that it blows the flame away from the port.
The maximum and minimum flow speeds from burner ports which may
. . be permitted, are known to be very close together when air-gas mixtures
' ` in theoretical proportions are being supplied to the burner. As the air-gas
ratio is lowered, and the mixture becomes more gas rich, the limiting
speeds become farther apart, until with 100 per cent gas, in an all-yellow
. flame, flash back cannot occur and a much higher velocity is needed to
, blow off the flames.
.
SOOT
The deposit of soot on the flue surfaces of a boiler or heater acts as an. .. insulating layer over the surface and reduces the heat transmission to the
water or. air. The Bureau of Mines Report of Investigations No. 3272 4 shows that the loss of seasonal efficiency is not so great as has been . believed and usually is not over 6 per cent because the greater part of the , heat is transmitted through the combustion chamber surfaces. The' ~Bureau of Standards Report BMS 546 points out that, although the
F,lets and Combustion-
' '_________ ___________. . '315
decrease in efficiency of an oil fired boiler due to soot deposits is relatively small the attendant increase in stack temperature may be considerable.
' The soot accumulation clogs the flues, reduces the' draft, and may
prevent proper combustion,
'
CONDENSATION AND CORROSION
Sulphur dioxide or trioxide formed by the combustion of fuels is the
corroding element in flue gases and becomes active whenever moisture is
available for the formation of sulphurous or sulphuric acid. It is there
fore necessary to maintain a flue'gas temperature above 175 F in all
parts of appliances, and consequently it is not practicable to recover the
latent heat in flue gases. Since some unpreventable condensation occurs
during the warming-up period, it is important to design appliances so
that all surfaces reach quickly a temperature above the dew-point of the
flue gases or have corrosion resistant properties enabling them to with
stand the corrosive effect: .
.'
DUSTLESS TREATMENT OF COAL
The practice of treating the more friable coals to allay the dust they create is increasing. The coal is sprayed with various petroleum products, a solution of calcium chloride or a mixture of calcium and magnesium
chlorides.
-. ,
The coal is usually treated at the mine, but sometimes by the local distributor just before delivery. The salt solutions are sprayed under high pressure, using from 2 to 4 gal or from 5 to 10 lb of the salt per ton of coal, depending on its friability and size. Oil for the dustless treatment of coal is also applied under high, pressure, in concentrations of 1 to 8 qt per ton of coal, depending upon the characteristics of the coal and oil.
Dustless treatments which are of such a corrosive nature that they may damage coal handling or burning equipment should not be used.

AUTOMATIC mechanical equipment for the combustion of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels is considered in this chapter.
MECHANICAL STOKERS
A mechanical stoker is a device that feeds a solid fuel into a combustion chamber, provides a supply of air for burning the fuel under automatic control and, in some cases, incorporates a means of removing the ash and refuse of combustion automatically. Coal can be burned more efficiently by a mechanical stoker than by hand firing because the stoker provides a uniform rate of fuel feed, better distribution in the fuel bed and positive control of the air supplied for combustion.
CLASSIFICATION OF STOKERS ACCORDING TO CAPACITY
Stokers may be-classified according to their coal feeding rates. The following classification has been made by the U. S. Department of Com merce, in cooperation with the Stoker Manufacturers Association.
Class 1. Capacity, under 61 lb of coal per hour. Class2. Capacity 61 to 100 lb of coal per hour. Class 3. Capacity 101 to 300 lb of coal per hour. Class 4.- Capacity 300 to 1200 lb of coal per hour. Class 5. Capacity 1200 lb of coal per hour and over.
.
.
Class 1 Stokers
These stokers are used primarily for home heating and are designed for quiet, automatic operation. Simple, trouble-free construction and. attractive appearance are desirable characteristics of these small units.
A common stoker in this class (Fig. 1) consists essentially of a coal hopper, 'a screw for conveying the coal from the hopper to the retort, a fan which supplies the air for combustion, a transmission for driving the coal feed worm, and an electric motor for supplying power for coal feed and air supply.
Air for combustion is admitted to the fuel through tuyeres at the. top of the retort which may be either round or rectangular. Stokers in this class are made for burning anthracite, bituminous, semi-bituminous, and lignite coals, and coke. The U. S. Department of Commerce has issued commercial standards for household anthracite stokers *.
Units are available in either the hopper type, as shown in.Fig. 1 or in . the bin-feed type as shown .in Figs. 2 and 3. Some stokers, particularly those designed for use with anthracite, automatically remove ash from the ash pit and-deposit it in an ash receptacle as shown in Fig. 3. Most of the bituminous models, however, require removal of the ash from the fuel bed after it is fused into a clinker.
Stokers in this class feed coal to the furnace intermittently in accor dance with temperature or pressure demands; A special control is used

Stoker-Fired Boiler and Furnace Units
- '
. Boilers, air conditioners, and space, heaters especially designed for
stokers are available having design, features closely coordinating the heat
. absorber and the stoker. Although efficient and satisfactory performance
. can be obtained from the application of stokers to existing boilers and
furnaces, some of the combination stoker-fired units (Fig. 4) are more
1 compact and attractive in appearance.
'
Class 2 and 3 Stokers
Stokers in this class are usually of the screw feed type without auxiliary plungers or other means of distributing the coal. They are used exten sively for heating plants in apartments and hotels, also, for industrial

plants. They are of the underfeed type and are available in both the hop
per type, as illustrated in Fig: 5, and the bin feed type, shown in Fig. 6.
These units also are built in plunger feed type with an electric motor; or
a steam or hydraulic cylinder coal feed drive.
.
Stokers in this class are available for burning all types of anthracite,
bituminous and lignite coals. The tuyere and retort design varies ac
cording to the fuel and load conditions. Stationary typie grates.are used
on bituminous models and the `clinkers formed from the ash accumulate
on the grates surrounding the retort.
.'
Anthracite stokers in this class are equipped with moving grates which
discharge the ash into a pit below the grate. This ash pit may be' located
on one or both sides of the.grate and on some installations is of sufficient
capacity to hold the ash for several weeks' operation.

Class 4 Stokers
.
Stokers in this group- vary widely in details of design and several-
methods of feeding coal are employed. The underfeed stoker is widely
used, although a number of the overfeed types are used in the larger
sizes. Bin-feed, as well as hopper models, are available in both under
feed and overfeed types.
.
Class 5 Stokers
'
The prevalent stokers in this field are: (1) underfeed side cleaning, (2) underfeed rear cleaning, (3) overfeed flat grate, and. (4) overfeed
inclined grate.
'
Underfeed side cleaning stokers are made in sizes up to approximately 500 boiler horsepower. They are not so varied in design as those in the. smaller classes, although the principle of operation is similar. A stoker of this type is illustrated in Fig. 7.
The rear cleaning underfeed stoker is usually of the multiple retort
design and is used in some of the largest industrial plants and central power stations. Zoned air control has been applied to these stokers, both
longitudinally and transversely of the grate surface.
The overfeed flat grate stoker is represented by the various chain--or traveling-grate stokers. A typical traveling-grate stoker is illustrated
in Fig. 8. Another distinct-type of overfeed flat-grate stoker is the spreader
(Figs. 9 and' 10) type in which coal is distributed either by rotating paddles or by air over, the entire grate surface. . This type of stoker is adapted to a wide range of fuels and has a wide application on small sized fuels, and on fuels such as lignites; high-ash coals, and coke breeze.
The overfeed inclined-grate stoker operates on the same general com
bustion principle as the flat-grate stoker, the main difference being that
rocking grates, set on an' incline, are provided in the former to advance
the fuel during combustion.
Combustion Process
.. ,
In anthracite stokers of the Class 1 underfeed type, burning takes
place entirely within the stoker retort. The refuse of- combustion spills
over the edge of-the retort into an ash pit or receptacle from which it may
be removed'either manually or automatically.
,
- Larger underfeed anthracite stokers operate on the same principle,
` except that the retort is rectangular and the refuse spills over only one
or two sides, of the grate. Anthracite for stoker firing is usually the No. 1
buckwheat or No. 2 buckwheat size.
Because the majority of the smaller bituminous coal stokers operate on
the underfeed principle, a general description of their operation is.given.
When the coal is fed into the retort, it moves upward toward the zone of
combustion and is heated by conduction and radiation from the burning
fuel in the combustion zone. As the temperature of the cqal rises, it
gives off moisture and occluded gases, which are largely non-combustible.
When the temperature increases to around 700 or 800 F the coal particles
become plastic,- the degree of plasticity varying with the type of coal.
A rapid evolution of the combustible volatile matter.occurs during and directly after the plastic stage. The distillation of volatile matter con-
tinues'above the plastic zone where the coal is coked.' The strength and porosity of the coke formed will vary according to the size and character1 istics of the coal. While some of the ash fuses into particles on the surface

of the coke as it is released, most of it remains on the hearth or grates and, as this ash layer becomes thicker with time, that portion exposed to the higher temperatures surrounding the retort fuses into a clinker. The temperature in the fuel bed, the chemical composition and homogeneity of the ash, and the time of heating govern the degree of fusion.
, Most bituminous coal stokers of Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 require manual'
removal of the ash in clinker form.
'
In the. underfeed'side-cleaning stokers the fuel is introduced at the front of the furnace to one or more retorts, and is advanced away from the retort as combustion progresses, while finally the ash is disposed of at the sides. This type of stoker is suitable for all bituminous coals while in the smaller sizes it is suitable for small sizes of anthracite. In this type of stoker the fuel is delivered to a retort beneath the fire and is raised into the fire. During this process the volatile gases are released, are mixed with air, and pass through the fire where they are burned. The ash may be continuously or periodically discharged at the sides."

coking fuels but preferably for those, of low volatile content. Its grate
action keeps the fuel bed broken up. thereby allowing for, free passage of
air. Because of its agitating effect on the fuel it is not desirable for badly .
dickering coals. It usually should be provided with a.front arch to
ignite the volatile gases.
'
Combustion Adjustments
.'
The coal feeding rate and air supply to the stoker should be regulated
so as to maintain a balance between the load demand and the heat
liberated by the fuel. Under such conditions no manual attention to the fuel bed should be required, other than the removal of clinker in stokers
which operate on this, prindple of ash removal.
As in all combustion processes, the maintenance of the correct pro
portions of air and fuel is essential. It is desirable to supply the minimum
amount of air required to properly burn the fuel at the rate of feed.
While there may be only slight variations in the rate at which the coal
is being fed due to variations in the size or density of the coal, there may
The underfeed rear-cleaning stoker accomplishes combustion in much
the same manner as the side-cleaning type, but consists of several retorts
placed side by side and filling up the furnace width, while the ash disposal
is at the rear. In principle, its operation is the same as the side cleaning
underfeed type.
%
. Overfeed flat-grate stokers receive fuel at the front of the grate in a
layer of uniform thickness and move it horizontally to the rear of the
furnace. Air is supplied under the moving grate to carry on combustion
at a sufficient rate to complete the burning of the coal near the rear of
the furnace. The ash is carried over the back end of the stoker into an
ash pit beneath. This type of stoker is suitable for small sizes of anthra
cite or coke breeze, and also for bituminous coals, the characteristics of
which make it desirable to burn the fuel without disturbing it. This type
of 'stoker requires an arch over the front of the fuel bed to maintain
ignition of the incoming fuel. Frequently, a rear combustion arch is
also required.
.'
.
In addition to the use of rocking grates, the overfeed inclined-grate stoker is provided with an ash plate on which ash is accumulated and dumped'periodically. This type of stoker is suitable for all types of

be wide variations in the rate of air flow as the result of changes in fuel
bed resistance. - These changes in resistance may be caused by changes
in the porosity of the fuel bed due to variations in size or friability of the
coal, ash and clinker accumulation, and variations in depth of the fuel
bed. Because of this variable fuel bed resistance, many bituminous
stokers, even in the smaller domestic sizes, incorporate air controls which.
automatically, compensate for these changes in resistance and maintain
a constant air fuel ratio.
.
It is desirable on most stoker installations to provide automatic draft
regulation in order to reduce air infiltration and provide better control
during the banking, or off, periods of the stoker. The efficiency of com
bustion. may be determined by analyzing the flue gases as explained in
Chapter 16.
.
Furnace Design
Although there is considerable variation in stoker, boiler, and furnace
design, the stoker , industry, from long-time experience,-has established
certain rules for- the-proportioning of furnaces for domestic, and com
mercial stokers. The stoker installer and designer of stoker-fired equip
ment should give careful consideration to these factors.

CHAPTER 17
'1946 Guide
The Stoker Manufacturers Association has published standard recom
mendations on setting heights for stokers having capacities up to 1200 lb
of coal per hour1.
.
The empirical formulas for determining these setting heights are:
For burning rates up to 100 lb coal per hour ' H = 0.1125 B + 15.75
(1)
. For burning rates from 100 to 1200 lb coal per hour
H = 0.03 5+24
(2)
where
H = minimum setting height, inches, for steel boilers. For cast-iron boilers height
may be % H.
B -- burning rate coal per hour, pounds. -
Standards for minimum firebox dimensions and base heights have been formulated by the Stoker Manufacturers Association as shown in Fig. 112.
ic Fuel Burning Equipment '- ____________________________________ 325
The Association also has adopted a uniform method of. selecting stokers
that is published in convenient tables and charts8. The required capacity
of the stoker is calculated as follows:

In determining the total load placed on a stoker-fired boiler by a steam or hot water heating system, a piping and pick-up factor of 1.33 is com monly used in sizing the stoker, but this factor should be increased at times due to unusual conditions.
Controls
The heat delivery from the stoker of the smallest household type to the largest industrial unit can be regulated accurately with fully automatic controls. The smaller heating applications are controlled normally by a

certain conditions smaller fireboxes will permit satisfactory performance but these dimensions are preferred
normal minimums.
'
In considering these recommendations, it should be understood that
they show the average recommended minimum. There are many factors
affecting the proper application of stokers to various types of boilers and
furnaces, and, in.certain instances, setting height or firebox dimensions
shown in the standards may be modified without impairing performance.
Such modification rests with the experience of the installer, or designer,
with a particular stoker, the type of fuel used, and the construction of the
boiler or furnace.
.
Bating and Sizing Stokers

thermostat placed in the building to be heated. Limit controls are supplied to prevent excessive temperature or pressure being developed in the furnace or boiler and refueling controls are used to maintain ignition during periods of low heat demand. Automatic low water cut-outs are recommended for use with all automatically-fired steam boilers. (See Chapter 34.)
DOMESTIC OIL BURNERS
An oil burner is a mechanical device for producing heat automatically from liquid fuels. Two methods are employed for the preparation of the oil for the combustion process; atomization, and vaporization. The simpler types of burners depend upon the natural chimney draff forsupplying the air for combustion. Other burners provide mechanical air supply or a combination of atmospheric, and mechanical. Ignition is accomplished by. an electrical spark or hot wire, or by an oil or gas pilot. ' Some burners utilize a combination of these methods. Continuously operating burners may use manual ignition. Burners of different types-
y^
326.
CHAPTER 17
1946 .Guide
operate with luminous or non-luminous flame. Operation may be inter- mittent, continuous with high-low flame, or continuous with graduated flame.
CLASSIFICATION OFBURNERS
Domestic oil burners may be classified by type of design or operation
into the following groups: pressure atomizing or gun, rotary, and vapor
izing or pot. These are further classified as mechanical draft, and natural
draft.
.
Pressure Atomizing (Gun Type)
-
Gun type burners may be divided into two classes, low-pressure, and high-pressure atomization. In the first group, a mixture of oil and primary air is pumped as a spray through the nozzle at a pressure of 2 to 7 lb per square inch. Secondary air is supplied by a fan. Ignition is obtained by means of a high-voltage electric spark used alone, or as primary ignition for a gas pilot. Various features of a low pressure atomizing burner are shown in Fig. 12.
-Automatic Fuel Burning Equipment
327
Rotary Type
.
This class of burners may be divided into two groups: vertical, and
horizontal. Most of the smaller rotary burners are of the vertical type,
and use the lighter distillate oils, No. 1 or 2 grade.
.
The most distinguishing feature of vertical rotary burners is, the
principle of .flame application. ' These burners are of two general types:
the center flame and wall flame. In the former type (Fig. 14), the oil is
atomized by being thrown from the rim of a revolving disc or cup and the '
flame burns in suspension with a characteristic yellow color. Combustion
is supported by means of a bowl-shaped chamber or hearth. The wall
flame burner (Fig. 15) differs in that combustion takes place in a ring of
stainless steel or refractory material, which is placed around the hearth.
Dependent upon combustion adjustment, these burners may operate
with either a semi-luminous or non-luminous flame.
.
Both types of vertical rotary burners are further characterized by their installation within the ash pit of the boiler or furnace. Various types of
Fig. 13. High-Pressure Atomizing Oil Burner
The high-pressure atomizing type, illustrated in Fig. 13, is characterized by an air tube, usually horizontal, with oil supply pipe centrally located in the tube and arranged so that a spray of atomized oil is introduced, ' at about 100 lb per square inch, and mixed in the combustion chamber with the air stream emerging from the air tube. A variety of patented shapes is employed at the end of the air tube to influence the direction and speed of the air and thus the effectiveness of the mixing process.
This type of burner utilizes a fan to supply the air for combustion, and
ignition, is established by a high-voltage electric spark that may be
operative continuously while the burner is running, or just at the beginning
of the running period. Gun type burners operate on the intermittent
on-off principle, and with a luminous flame. ,
.
The combustion process is completed in a chamber constructed .of
refraictoiy material, or stainless steel, this being a part of the installation.
Pressure-atomizing burners generally use the distillate oils,' No. 1) 2 or
3 grade. '(See Chapter 16.)

ignition are utilized, gas and electric, either spark or hot wire. The air
for combustion is supplied partially by natural draft, and partially by
fan effect of the central spinner element.
.
Horizontal rotary burners are used principally to burn the heavier oils, Nos. 5-and 6 grades, principally ip larger commercial and industrial installations, although domestic sizes are available. Such burners are of the mechanical atomizing type, using rotating cups which throw the oil from, the edge of the cup at high velocity into the surrounding stream. . of air delivered by the blower (Fig. 16).
Horizontal rotary burners commonly use a combination electric-gas
ignition system, or are lighted manually. Primary air for combustion is .
supplied by a blower, and secondary air, often introduced through a
checkerwork in the combustion chamber, is controlled by chimney draft.
These burners operate with a luminous flame,, usually on high-low or
continuous setting.
'
. In larger installations, burners may be installed in multiple in a common
combustion chamber. Because of the high viscosity oils used in these
Automatic Fuel Burning Equipment.\329
Vaporizing burners of the natural draft type are used ,a's the firing device in integral space heaters, water heaters, or furnace units. Only those with full mechanical draft are suitable for conversion installation.
. Oil-Fired Boiler and Furnace Units
.
A number of types of specially designed oil-fired boiler-burner and furnace-burner units are available. A typical boiler-burner unit is shown
in Fig. 18. The coordinated-design of boiler (or furnace) and burner elements insures the optimum in operating characteristics, and the main
' tenance of balanced performance. This type of equipment usually has
more heating surface, better flue proportions and gas travel than con-

burners, it is customary to preheat the oil between the tank and the
burner. Preheating when delivering from tank' car, or truck is often
required in cold weather. As with pressure atomizing burners, a refrac
tory combustion chamber, built within the boiler furnace, is a part of the
installation.
.
Vaporizing Burners
* ''
This type burner transforms the oil into a combustible vapor by the
application of heat from a plate, or cracking chamber. The class may be
subdivided into burners supplying combustion air mechanically, and those
utilizing the natural chimney draft. Vaporizing pot-type burners are
restricted to the use of the lighter distillates.
'
These burners are designed for continuous or intermittent operation, with manual ignition, and the rate of burning is controlled by a metering valve. Flame may be luminous or non-luminous, dependent upon adjustment. A burner of this type is illustrated in Fig. 17.

ventional boilers or furnaces. Some of the better conversion installations,
however, may equal the unit type in performance."
.
Operating Requirements for Mechanical Draft Oil Burners
'-
The U. S. Department of Commerce in conjunction with the oil burner
industry has established commercial standards for automatic mechanical
draft oil burners for domestic installations which cover. installation
requirements and performance tests4.
-
Combustion Process ,
/.
Efficient combustion must produce a clean flame and use a relatively
-small excess of'air, t.e., -between 25 and 50 per cent. This can be done
only by vaporizing the oil quickly and completely, and mixing it vigorously
with air in a combustion chamber hot enough to support the combustion.
A vaporizing burner prepares the oil, for combustion, by transforming the
liquid fuel to. the gaseous state by the application of heat. .This is accom
plished before the oil vapor-mixes with air . to any extent and if the air
and oil vapor temperatures are high and the fire pot hot, a clear blue
flame is produced.
,
.,
In an atomizing burner the oil is mechanically separated into very fine particles so that the surface exposure of the liquid to the radiant heat of the combustion chamber is vastly increased and vaporization proceeds quickly. The result is the ability to burn more and heavier oil within a given Combustion space. Because the air enters the combustion chamber
330
CHAPTER 17
1946 Guide
with the liquid fuel particles, mixing, vaporization and burning occur all at once in the same space. This produces a luminous flame. A deficient amount of air is indicated by a dull red or dark orange flame with smoky tips.
An excessive supply of air may produce a brilliant white flame or a short ragged flame with incandescent sparks flashing through the com bustion space. While extreme cases may be detected, it is not possible to distinguish, by eye, the effect of the finer adjustment which competent installation requires.
Combustion Adjustments
.
The present-day oil burner with mechanical oil and air supply, properly installed and equipped with an automatic draft regulator, is capable' of maintaining efficient combustion for an appreciable period following .the initial adjustments of oil and air. Eventually certain changes may occur, however, that will cause the per cent of excess air to decrease below allowable limits. A decrease in air supply while the oil delivery remains constant or an increase in oil delivery while the air supply . remains constant will make the mixture of oil and air too rich for clean combustion. The more efficient the adjustment the more critical it will be. The oil and air supply rates must remain constant.
The following factors may influence the oil delivery rate: (1) changes in oil viscosity due to temperature change or variations in grade of oil delivered, (2) erosion of atomizing nozzle, (3) fluctuations in by-pass relief pressures, and (4) possible variations in methods of atomization. Any change due to partial stoppage of oil delivery wijl increase the proportion of excess air. This will result-in less heat, reduced economy and possibly a complete interruption of service. .
The following factors may.influence the air supply: (1) changes in combustion draft due to a variety of causes (i.e., changes in chimney draft because of weather changes, seasonal changes, back drafts, failure or inadequacy of automatic draft regulator, use of chimney for other purposes, possible stoppage of the chimney and changes in draft resis tance of boiler due to partial stoppage of the flues), and (2) changes in air inlet adjustments at the fan.
Air leakage into the boiler or furnace setting should be reduced to a
minimum. The amount of air leakage will be determined by the draft
in the combustion chamber. It is important that this draft should be
reduced as low as is consistent with the proper disposal of the gases of
combustion. When using mechanical draft burners with average con
ditions, the combustion chamber draft should not be allowed to exceed
0.02-0.05 in. water. An automatic draft regulator, is very helpful in
maintaining such values.
-.
_ Even though a fan is generally used to supply the air for combustion, in most oil burners, the importance of a- proper chimney should not be , overlooked. The chimney should have sufficient height and size to insure ` that the draft will be uniform within the limits given above if maximum efficiency throughout the heating season is to be maintained.
Measurement of the Efficiency of Combustion
..
.
Since efficient combustion is based upon a clean flame and definite proportions of oil and air employed, it is possible to determine the results by analyzing the combustion gases. It is usually sufficient to analyze only for carbon dioxide (C02). A showing of 10 to 12 per cent, indicates
Automatic Fuel Burning Equipment
331
the best adjustment if the flame is clean. Most of the good installations
show from 8 to. 10 per cent C02. Taking into account the potential
hazard of low excess air (high COi), a setting to give 10 per cent C02
constitutes a reasonable standard for most oil burners. '
`
Combustion Chamber Design .
With burners requiring a refractory combustion chamber the size and
shape should be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It
is important that the chamber shall be as nearly air tight as is possible,
except when the particular burner requires a secondary supply of air
for combustion.
.,
,
The atomizing burner is dependent upon the surrounding heated refractory or firebrick surfaces to vaporize the oil and support combustion. ' Unsatisfactory combustion may be due to inadequate atomization and miring. A combustion chamber can only compensate for these things to a limited extent. If liquid fuel continually reaches some part of the fire brick surface, a carbon deposit will result. The combustion chamber should enclose a space having a shape similar to the flame but large enough to avoid flame contact. The nearest approach in practice is to have the bottom of the combustion chamber flat, but far enough below the nozzle to avoid flame contact, the sides tapering from the air tube at the same angle as the nozzle spray and the back wall rounded. A plan view of the combustion chamber resembles in shape the outline of the flame. In this wayas much.firebrick as possible is close to the flame so it may be kept hot. This insures quick vaporization, rapid combustion and better mixing by eliminating dead spaces in the combustion Chamber. An overhanging arch at the back of the fire pot is sometimes used to increase the flame travel and give more time for mixing and burning, and sometimes to prevent the gases from going too directly into the boiler flues. When good atomization and vigorous mixing are achieved by the burner, combustion chamber design becomes a less critical matter. .Where secondary air is used; combustion chamber design is quite important. When installing some of the vertical rotary burners the manufacturer's instructions must be followed carefully when installing the hearth, as in this class successful performance depends upon this factor.
. Boiler Settings
.
-
As the volume of space available for combustion is a determining factor in oil consumption, it is general practice to remove grates and extend the combustion chamber downward to include or even exceed the ash pit volume; in new installations the boiler may be raised to make added volume available. Approximately 1 cu ft of combustion volume . should be provided for every developed boiler horsepower, and in this volume from 1.5 to 2.5 lb of oil per hour can properly be burned. This corresponds to an average liberation of about 38,000 Btu per. cubic foot per hour. At times much higher fuel rates may be satisfactory. For best results, care should be taken to keep the gas velocity below 40 fps. Where checkerwork of brick is used to provide secondary air, good practice calls for about 1 sq in. of opening for each pound of oil fired per hour. Such . checkerwork is best adapted to flat flames, or to conical flames that can be spread over the floor of the combustion chamber. The proper bricking of a large or even medium sized boiler for oil firing is important and frequently it is advisaJble to consult an authority on this subject. The essential in combustion chamber design is to provide against flame . impingement upon either metallic or firebrick surfaces. Manufacturers of
332

oil burners usually have available detailed plans for adapting their burners to various types of boilers, and such information should be utilized.
Controls
.
Controls for oil burner operation, including devices for the safety and protection of a boiler or furnace, are fully described in Chapter 34.
GAS-FIRED HEATING EQUIPMENT
A gas burner is defined by the American Gas Association as "a device for the final conveyance of the gas, or a mixture of gas and air, to the combustion zone." Burners used for domestic heating are of the atmos pheric injection, yellow flame, or power burner types.
The use of gas has resulted in the production of a number of types of . domestic gas heating appliances, and systems. These may be classified

are of circular or rectangular shape in order to fit in space available. The
control equipment is generally the same as for gas boilers and furnaces.
Various baffles made of clay'radiants or metal are used for the purpose
of guiding the products of combustion along the heating surface in the
firebox or flues. Automatic air dampers are supplied on many models,
to prevent flow of air into the firebox^ when the burner is- not operating.-
A typical gas conversion burner is shown in Fig. 20,
Burners of this type are available in sizes ranging from 80,000 to 500,000
Btu per hour capacity. Burners of even larger capacity, for use with
natural gas in large steel boilers are usually engineered by the local
utility or contractor. . They are available in an infinite number of sizes
because the burner may be an assembly of multiple burner heads filling
the entire firebox. .
.
Domestic sizes of conversion burners should be installed with due attention to the method of venting. Draft hoods, conforming to Ameri
in. types designed for central heating plants^ and those for unit applica-' tion. Gas-designed units and- conversion burners are available for the several kinds of central systems. Unit heaters, space heaters and circu lators may be had for installation in the space being heated.
Central Heating Systems
,
Boilers and furnaces specially designed for gas-firing incorporate
design features for obtaining maximum efficiency and performance.
Small flue passes to secure good heat transfer, the use of materials resistant
to the corrosive effects of products of combustion, and draft hoods are
notable features. Control equipment includes gas pressure regulators,
thermostatic pilots and limit controls designed to protect the appliance
and to insure safety of operation. A boiler designed for gas-burning is
illustrated in Fig. 19. '
,
Conversion burners are usually complete burner and control units designed for installation in existing boilers and furnaces. Burner.heads
can Standard .Requirements, should be installed in place of the dampers-
used with a solid fuel.
,
.: . . .
One form of central heating system is the warm air floor furnace5. The
use of these furnaces is adaptable to mild climates. They are used for'
heating first floors, or where heat is required in only, one or two rooms. A
number may be used to provide heat for the entire building where all
rooms are on the ground floor, thus giving the heating system flexibility.-
With the usual type the register is installed in the floor, the heating
element and gas piping being suspended below.
.
. ..
Unit Type Heaters
Space heaters may be used for auxiliary heating, but in many cases
are installed for furnishing heat to entire buildings. With the exception
of wall heaters, they are semi-portable.
''
Parlor Heaters or circulators are usually of the cabinet type. They heat" the room entirely by convection, i.e., die cold air of the room is drawn in near the base, passes up inside the jacket around a heating section, and, out of the heater at, or near, the top. These heaters cause a continuous circulation of- the air in the room during the time they are in operation.

CHAPTER 17.
. . 1946 Guide
The burners are located in the base, at the bottom of an enclosed coim - bustion chamber.. The products of combustion pass around baffles within
the heating element,-and out the flue at the back near the top. They are' well adapted for residence room heating, and also for stores and offices.
Radiant heaters give off a considerable portion of their heat in the form
of radiant energy emitted by an incandescent refractory that is heated by
. a Bunsen flame. They are made in numerous shapes and designs and in
sizes ranging from two to fourteen or more radiants. . An atmospheric
burner is supported near the center of the base. Others have a group of .
small atmospheric burners supported on a manifold attached to the base.
Most radiant heaters are portable; however, there are also types, which
are encased in a jacket that fits into the wall with a grilled front.
'
Gas-fired steam and hot water radiators are other types of room heating
appliances. They are made in a large variety of shapes and sizes and are
similar in appearance to the ordinary steam or hot water radiator. A
separate combustion chamber is provided in the base of each radiator and
is usually fitted with a one-piece burner. They may be secured in either
the vented or unvented types, and with steam pressure, thermostatic or
room temperature controls.
.
Warm air radiators are similar in appearance to steam or hot water radiators. They are usually constructed of sheet metal hollow sections. The products of combustion circulate through the sections and are discharged from a flue or into the room, depending upon whether the radiator is of the vented or unvented type.
'
Unit heaters are used extensively for heating large spaces such as stores, garages, and factories. .These heaters consist of a burner, heat exchanger, fan for distributing the air, draft hood, thermostatic pilot and controls for burners and fan. They are usually mounted in an elevated position from which the heated air is directed downward by louvres. Some unit heaters are suspended from the ceiling, and others are free-standing floor units of the heat tower type.
Unit heaters are available in two types, classified according to their use, with, or without ducts. Only those types of unit heaters tested and approved as warm air furnaces can be connected safely to ducts, as they have sufficient blower capacity to deliver an adequate air supply against duct resistance and are equipped, with limit controls.
Combustion Process and Adjustments
-
Most domestic gas burners are of the atmospheric injection (Bunsen)
type in which primary air is introduced, and mixed with the gas in the
throat of the mixing tube. A ratio of about 3 parts primary air to 1 part
gas for manufactured gas, and a 5J^ to 1 ratio for natural gas, are generally
used as theoretical values. The amount of excess air required in practice
depends upon several factors, notably; uniformity of air distribution and
.. mixing, direction of gas travel from burner, and the height and tem
perature of. combustion chamber.
_-
Secondary air is drawn into gas appliances by natural draft: As with
other fuels, excess secondary air constitutes a loss, and should be reduced
to a proper minimum, which usually cannot be less than 25 to 35 per cent
if the appliance is to meet A.S.A. approval. Yellow flame burners
depend upon secondary air, alone, for combustion.
..
The flame produced by atmospheric injection burners is non-luminous.: . Air shutter adjustments for manufactured gas should be made by closing; -
,Automatic Fuel Burning Equipment
335
the air shutter until yellow flame tips appear and then by opening the air
shutter to a final position at which the yellow tips just disappear.. This'
type of flame obtains ready ignition from port to port and also favors '
quiet flame extinction. When burning natural gas the.air adjustment is
generally made to secure as blue a flame as obtainable.
Little difficulty should be had in maintaining efficient combustion when burning gas. The fuel supply is normally held to close limits of variation in pressure and calorific value and the rate of heat supply is nominally constant. Because the force necessary to introduce the fuel into the combustion chamber is an inherent factor of the fuel, no draft by. the chimney is required for this purpose. The use. of a draft hood'insures the maintenance of constant low draft condition in the combustion chamber with a resultant stability of air supply. A draft hood is also helpful in controlling the amount of excess air and. preventing back drafts that might extinguish the flame. (See Chapter 16.)
Due to the use of draft hoods and gas pressure regulators both the input and combustion conditions of gas appliances are maintained quite uniform until deposits of dirt, corrosion, or scale accumulate in the air inlet openings, burner ports or on the heating surface. Periodic cleaning is necessary to keep any gas appliance in proper operating condition.
Measurement oi the Efficiency of Combustion
The efficiency of combustion may be judged from the percentage of carbon dioxide (COt), oxygen (Oi) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the flue gases. The COt and Ot may be obtained ,by means of an Orsat apparatus but the CO must be determined by more accurate equipment. It is customary to use simple indicators to determine whether CO is present and to make adjustments of the appliances to reduce the CO below 4/100 of one per cent before continuing tests in which the COt and Ot can.then be found by use of the Orsat apparatus. Since the ultimate COt for any gas depends on the total hydrogen content the quality of the combustion should not be judged from the value of the COt in the flue gas without reference to the ultimate COt obtainable. Practical values of COt will usually be from 8 to 14 per cent depending on the gas used.
Ratings for Gas-Appliances
Input rating for a gas appliance'is established by demonstrating that the appliance can meet the Approval Requirements of the A.S.A. The tests are conducted at the A.G.A.. Testing Laboratories. Output rating is determined from the approved input and an average efficiency stated in the Approval Requirements and is the heat available at the outlet.
Sizing Gas-Fired Heating Plants
.'
Although gas-burning equipment usually is completely automatic, maintaining the temperature of rooms at a predetermined figure, there are some manually controlled installations. In order to overcome effectively the starting load and losses in piping, a manually-controlled gas boiler should have an output as much as 100 per cent greater than the equivalent standard radiation'which it is expected to serve.
. Boilers under thermostatic control, however, are not subject to such severe pick-up loads and consequently, it is possible to use a lower selec tion factor. . For a gas-fired boiler or furnace under thermostatic control a factor of 20 to 25 per cent is usually 'sufficient for pick-up allowance.
336
. CHAPTER 17'
1946 Guide
Automatic Fuel Burning Equipment
337
In those installations, in mild climates where 100 per cent outside air . is used, furnaces should be of larger size in' order to provide adequate ,-capacity and quick pick-up under intermittent heating conditions;
. The factor to be allowed for loss of heat from piping will vary some
what, the proportionate amount of piping installed being greater for
small installations than for large ones. For selection factors to be added
to installed radiation under thermostatic control see Chapter 18.
-
Appliances used for heating with, gas should bear the approval seal of the A.G.A. Testing Laboratories on the manufacturer's nameplate, ) P together with the official input and output ratings. It is not permissible to operate a gas heating unit above its stated rating. It may be necessary to operate below this rating at elevations above 3,000 ft.
Installations should be made in accordance with recommendations shown in. the publications of the American Gas Association.
Controls
..
Temperature controls for gas burners are described in Chapter 34. Some central heating plants are equipped with push-button or other manual control. The main gas valve may be of either the snap action or throttling type. Automatic electric ignition is available.
FUEL BURNING RATES
The burning rate for automatic fuel burning devices is determined by the gross heat output required of the boiler, or furnace,- to carry the net ` heating load plus allowances for system losses, and pick-up. General values for these allowances previously have been noted. Detailed infor mation for piping and pick-up allowances for steam; and hot water systems 'is given in Chapter 18 and for warm air systems'in Chapters 21 and 22.

' The correct fuel burning rate can be determined directly -from the several charts for oil or gas burning installations, as these customarily operate on a strictly intermittent basis. These fuel burning devices usually introduce the fuel at a single fixed rate during the on periods and this rate should be sufficient to carry the gross load. In the case of coal stokers, which are usually capable of variable rates of firing, it is desirable to operate at as low a rate as weather conditions will permit, but the maxi mum firing rate of the stoker should be sufficient to carry the gross load. This rate may be determined by the same method as used for oil or gas.

IN presenting the subject of Boilers and Furnaces this chapter is; divided into two parts; the first dealing with boilers and the second-
treating warm air furnaces.
.
HEATING BOILERS
Steam and hot water boilers for low pressure heating are built in a wide variety of types and sizes, many of which are illustrated in the Catalog Data Section. They are made of steel or cast-iron.
CONSTRUCTION
The only code governing the construction of low-pressure heating steel
and cast-iron boilers that has gained recognition on a national basis is
the ASME Boiler Construction Code for Low Pressure Heating Boilers. Some states and municipalities have their own codes which apply, locally
but these are usually patterned after the ASME Code.
The maximum allowable working pressures are limited by the ASME
, Code to 15 psi for steam and 30 psi for hot water heating boilers. Hot
water boilers may be used for higher, working pressures for heating
purposes or for hot water supply when designed and tested for the
higher, pressure.
'
-
TYPES OF HEATING BOILERS
Heating boilers are classified in a number of different ways, such as:
(n) According to materials of construction. These are steel and cast-iron. Very few
non-ferrous boilers are.made.
..
.
'
(b) According to the fuels for which the boilers are designed. These are coal, hand
fired or stoker fired; oil; gas; or wood. Some boilers are designed specifically for one fuel
but many boilers are designed for more than one fuel. '
-
(,c) According to the specific purpose or application for which the boiler is'used, such
as space heating or domestic hot water supply.
,
(d) According to the design or construction of the boiler such as, sectional, round,
fire-tube, water-tube, magazine feed, Scotch, etc. *
. -
Cast-Iron Boilers , . Cast-iron boilers are generally classified as:
(a) Square or rectangular boilers with vertical sections and rectangular grates
commonly known as sectional boilers!
(b) Round boilers with horizontal pancake sections and circular grates.
`
Cast-iron boilers are usually shipped in sections and assembled at . the place of installation. In the majority of boilers the sections are assembled . with push nipples and tie rods.. Many sectional boilers are provided with
339 .
340
CHAPTER 18
1946 Guide
large push nipples at top to permit'the circulation of water between
adjacent sections at both the water line and bottom of the boiler, which
is necessary to enable the use of an'indirect water heater with the boiler
for summer-winter hot water supply. Round and sectional boilers may
be increased in size by the addition of sections and corresponding plate
work.
.-
Capacities of cast-iron boilers range generally from capacities required for small residences up to about 12,000 sq ft of steam radiation. There are a few boilers made with'capacities-up to 18,000 sq ft of steam radia tion. For larger loads, boilers must be installed in multiple.
.Steel Soflers. . -
'.
Steel boilers may be of the fire-tube type, in which the gases of com bustion pass through the tubes and the boiler water circulates around them, or of the water-tube type, in which the gases circulate around the .tubes and the water passes through them.
' Either the fire-tube or water-tube type may be designed with integral
water jacketed furnaces or arranged for refractory lined brick.or refractory lined jacketed furnaces. Those with integral water jacketed furnaces
are called portable firebox boilers and are the most commonly used type. They are usually shipped in one piece, ready for piping. Refractory
furnaces are usually installed in refractory lined furnace boilers after
they are set in place.
.' .
_:
Capacities of steelboilers range from those required for small residences
up to about 35,000 sq ft of steam radiation.
J
Boilers for Special Applications . .
'=
One of these is known as the magazine feed boiler developed for the
bupiing of small .sizes of anthracite and coke and has a large fuel carrying
capacity which results in longer firing periods than would be the case
with the standard types burning coal of buckwheat size. Special atten
tion must be given to proper chimney" sizes and connections when in
stalling in order to insure adequate draft. .
-"
Boilers for hot water supply are classified as direct, if the water heated
passes "through the boiler, and asindirect.if the "water heated does hot
come in contact with the water or steam in the boiler:
-
:
; Direct healers are built to operate at the pressures found in city supply mains and are tested at pressures from 200 to "300 lb per square inch. The .life of direct heaters depends almost entirely on the scale-forming properties of the water supplied and the temperatures maintained. If low water temperatures are maintained the life of the heater will be much longer due to decreased scale formation and minimized corrosion. . Direct water heaters in some cases are designed to burn refuse and garbage.
Indirect heaters generally consist of steam boilers in connection with heat exchangers of the coil or tube types which transmit the heat from the steam to the water. This type of installation has the following advantages:
1. The boiler operates at low pressure.
`
2. The boiler is protected from scale and corrosion.
--
_ 3.- The scale is formed in the heat exchanger in which the parts to which the scale is attached can be cleaned or replaced. The accumulation of scale does not affect
efficiency although it will affect the capacity of the heat exchanger.
4. Discoloration of water may be prevented if the water supply comes in contact
with only non-ferrous metal.
"
Heatine Boilers and Furnaces_________ -
';341
Where a steam or a forced circulation hot water heating system is
installed, the domestic hot water may be heated by ah indirect heater
attached to the boiler. For most satisfactory performance in the steam
system, this heater is placed just below-the water line of the boiler. In a
forced circulation hot water system, it should .be located as high as
possible with respect to the boiler.
;
BOILER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Furnace Design
. ...
Good efficiency and proper boiler performance are dependent bn
correct furnace design. There must be sufficient volume for burning the
particular fuel which is used, and means to obtain a thorough mixing of
air and gases at a high temperature and. at a velocity low enough to
permit complete combustion of all the volatiles. For hand fired boilers,
the furnace volume should be large enough to hold sufficient fuel for
reasonably long firing periods.. (See Chapters 16 and 17.)
.
.
Heating Surface
..
"
Boiler heating surface is that portion of the surface.of the heat transfer
apparatus in contact with the fluid being heated on one side and the gas or refractory being cooled on.the other side. Heating surface on which the fire shines is known as direct or radiant surface and that in contact with hot gases only, as indirect or convection surface., The amount of heating
surface, its distribution, and the temperatures on. either side thereof
influence the capacity of any boiler.. .
"; .
.-
", Direct heating surface is more valuable, than indirect per square foot because it is subjected to a higher temperature and. also, in the case of
solid fuel, because it is in position to receive the full radiant energy of the
fuel bed.
The effectiveness of the heating surface depends on its cleanliness, its
location in the boiler, and the shape of the gas passages. The area of the
gas passages must not be so small as to cause excessive resistance to the flow of gases where natural draft is employed. Inserting baffles so that
the heating surface is arranged in series with respect to the gas flow increases' boiler efficiency and reduces stack temperature, but increases
the draft loss through the boiler.......................
Heat Transfer Rate
......................
.
Practical-heat transfer rates in heating boilers expressed in Btu absorbed per square foot of surface per hour will average about 3300 for
hand fired boilers and 4000 for mechanically fired boilers when operating
at design load. ' When mechanically fired boilers are operating at maximum load as defined in this chapter under heading Selection of Boilers, these values will run between 5000 and 6000." Boilers operating under favorable
conditions at'these heat transfer rates will-give exit gas temperatures
that are considered consistent with good practice, although there are boilers which have high efficiencies and. also operate at higher trans
mission rates.

efficiencies and performance of the boiler.
The ASHVE Standard Code for Testing Steam Heating Boilers Burn ing Oil Fuel *, (Adopted June, 1932), is intended to provide a standard method for conducting and reporting tests to determine the heating
efficiency and performance characteristics when oil fuel is used with steam

In 1938 the Society adopted a Standard Code for Testing Stoker-Fired Steam Heating Boilers4, (Adopted June, 1938), which is intended to provide a test method for determining the efficiency and performance characteristics of any stoker and boiler combination burning any type
of solid fuel such as anthracite or bituminous coal.
The Steel Boiler Institute, Inc. has adopted (June J2, 1945) a Rating Code for Commercial Steel Boilers and Residential Steel Boilers and for -Testing' Oil-Fired Residential Steel Boilers. The commercial boilers
(defined as those having 129 to 2500 sq ft of heating surface) are rated in square feet (steam) on the basis, of heating surface with limitations set
for grate area, furnace volume and furnace height. The residential boilers (defined as those having not more than 177 sq ft of heating surface) are rated on tests for oil-fired boilers, with limitations in relation to heat . ing surface and testing conditions. Stoker-fired and gas-fired residential
boilers are rated (SBI Net Rating) not in excess of the oil-fired rating.
Hand-fired residential boilers are rated (SBI Net Rating) not greater
than 14 times the heating surface.

CHAPTER IS
' 1946 Guide
The Institute of Boiler. and. Radiator Manufacturers has adopted a method of rating cast-iron, heating boilers based upon performance
obtained under tests. This code6 now applies to sectional boilers having a grate width of 41 in- or less. Eventually the Institute intends to include all sizes of cast-iron boilers in this program of testing and rating. '
The American Gas Association has adopted a method of rating gas designed boilers based upon performance under tests. This is described in Approval Requirements for Central Heating Gas Appliances.
The Heating, Piping and Air Conditioning Contractors National Aj-
sociation has adopted' a method of rating boilers based on their physical
characteristics for those boilers that are not rated in accordance with the
SBI or I=B=R Codes. Ratings are expressed on a Net Load .basis
in square feet-of steam radiation.
> ';
BOILER EFFICIENCY
. : |
The term efficiency as used for guarantees of boiler performance is
usually construed as follows:
'
1. Solid Fuels. The efficiency of the boiler alone is the ratio of the heat absorbed by the water and steam in the boiler per pound of combustible burned on the grate to the " calorific value of 1 lb of combustible as fired. The combined efficiency of boiler, furnace and grate is the ratio of the heat absorbed by the water and steam in the boiler per, pound of fuel as fired to the calorific value of 1 lb of fuel as fired. `
2. Liquid and Gaseous Fuels. The combined efficiency of boiler, furnace and burner is the ratio of the heat absorbed by the water and steam in the boiler per pound of cubic foot of fuel to the calorific value of 1 lb or cubic foot of fuel respectively. !
The following efficiencies apply to current designs of boilers operated
under favorable conditions at their gross output ratings. Some older
boilers designed primarily for hand firing may. have lower efficiencies
when automatically fired.

Higher efficiencies for hand fired bituminous coal may be obtained by careful firing of either a regular or a smokeless boiler.; * `

RATING OF BOILERS
--! : i I
In deferring to boiler rating it is necessary to know; the basis on jwhich
the rating has been established in order to understand the exacjt meaning
of the term. The following example will illustrate the 'meaning, ofj three
ratings which might be established for the same boiler.
j .: \
` Assume that an installation has the.following loads determined, in accordance with
the section Selection of Boilers:

1200 sq ft of steam radiation 240 sq ft of steam radiation
1440 sq ft of steam radiation
A boiler that is just large enough to carry this system might be said
to have a net load rating of 1000 sq ft, a design load rating of 1200. sq ft,
or a gross load fating of 1440 sq ft, depending on the basis on which the
boiler is rated.
:
HeatinS Boilers and Furnaces
345
On a neiload basis the above boiler wouid'be rated 1000 sq ft of steam
radiation and would have sufficient excess'capacity to supply'the normal
piping and pickup load. Net I = B = R Ratings, SBI Net Ratings, and
Net Load Ratings of the Heating, Piping and Air Conditioning Con
tractors National Association are established on this basis-,.
..
On a design load basis the boiler would be rated 1200 sq ft of steam radiation and would have sufficient excess capacity to supply the pickup
loadx It would be of adequate size for a system in which the sum of the net load and the piping heat loss did not exceed 1200 sq ft of steam radi-: ation. The SBI Ratings shown in columns 1, 2, 3, 10; 11 and 12 of Table 2 (not to be confused with SBI Net Rating) are established on a
design load basis.
. ''
On a gross output basis of rating the boiler would be rated 1440 sq ft of steam radiation and would be of adequate size for a system in which
the sum of the net load, piping load, and pick-up load did not exceed
1440 sq ft of steam radiation. Gross I=B=R Output and A.G.A.
Ratings are established on a gross output basis:
.
In the determination of boiler ratings, the Gross Output is the quantity
of heat available at the boiler nozzle with the boiler normally insulated:
and when operating under limitations stipulated in the code or method by which the boiler is rated. The boiler may. be capable of producing a-
greater nozzle output but in doing so would exceed some of these
limitations.
. SELECTION OF BOILERS
Factors Involved in Boiler Selection
The Maximum Load or Gross Load on the boiler is the sum of the four following items.
The Design Load is the sum of items 1, 2 and 3. The Net Load is the sum of items 1 and 2.
1. Radiation Load. The estimated heat emission in Btu per hour of the connected
radiation (direct, indirect, or forced convection coils) to be installed,
.
The connected radiation is determined by calculating the heat losses for each room in
accordance with data given in Chapters 6, 8. and 14. The sum of the calculated heat
losses for all the rooms represents the total required, heat emission of the connected radia
tion expressed in Btu per hour. As practically all boilers are now rated on a Btu basis,
it is unnecessary to convert the radiation load to equivalent square feet of equivalent
radiation.
-- '
.
2. Hot Water Supply Load. The estimated maximum heat in Btu per hour required ' to heat water for domestic use.
When the hot water supply is heated by the building heating boiler, this load must be.taken into consideration in.sizing the boiler. A common practice is to add 240 Btq per hour to the radiation load for each gallon of storage tank capacity. For more specific information see Chapter 50.
3. Piping Tax. The estimated heat emission in Btu per hour of the piping con necting the radiation and other apparatus to the boiler.
As the heating industry as a whole is not entirely agreed upon piping tax allowances
for different sizes of installations it is better to compute the heat emission from both
bare and covered pipe surface in accordance with data in Chapter 28. In average house
heating systems, it is common practice to consider the piping tax to be equal to 25 per
cent of the Net Load. In determining Net I=B=R Ratings from Gross I--B--R
Output, the piping factor allowed varies from 30 per cent for small boilers to 12 per cent
for larger boilers.
'`
4. Warming-Up or Fick-Up Allowance. The estimated increase in the normal load in Btu per hour caused by the heating up of the cold system.
The warming-up allowance represents the load due to heating the boiler and contents
346
CHAPTER 18
1946 Guide
' to operating temperature, and heating up cold radiation and piping.. The factors to be used for determining the allowance to be made should be selected from Table 3.
Other items to be considered in boiler selection are:
(a) Efficiency with hard or'soft coal, gas, or oil firing, as the case may be.
. (6) Grate area-with hand-fired coal, or fuel burning rate with stokers, oil, or gas.
' (c) Combustion space in the furnace.
'1
(d) Type of heat liberation, whether continuous or intermittent, or a combination of
both.
-
(e) Convenience in firing and cleaning.
-'
(/) Adaptability to changes in fuel and kind of attention.
(g) Height of water line.
(A) Miscellaneous items such as draft available, possibility of future extension, pos sibility of break-down, and head room in the boiler room.
(i)The most economical size of boiler is usually one that is just the right size for the
load. Either larger or smaller boilers may be less economical.
*
Selection of Cast-Iron Boilers
-
Net load ratings of cast-iron boilers are usually available from manu facturers' catalogs. They may also be obtained conveniently from published tables of I=B = R ratings6, or from recommendations of the Heating, Piping and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association7 and can be used in selection of boilers, unless the heating system contains an unusual amount of bare pipe, or the nature of the connected load is such that the normal allowances for pipe loss and pick-up do not apply. In such a case, the selection must be based on the gross output.
Selection of Steel Heating Boilers
'
SBI catalog ratings in accordance with the previously mentioned Steel Boiler Institute, Inc. code are intended to correspond with the estimated design load. When the heat emission of the piping is not known, tjie net load to be considered for the boiler may be determined from Tables 1 and. 2.The difference between design load and net load represents an amount which is considered normal for piping loss of the ordinary heating system.
Boilers with less than 177 sq ft of heating surface and having SBI net ratings .'(steam) of not more than 3,000 sq ft if mechanically fired and

2 480 sq ft if hand fired, are classified as residence size. An insulated
residence boiler for oil, gas or stoker firing may carry a net load expressed
in square feet of steam radiation of not more, than 17 times the square-
feet of heating surface in the boiler, provided the boiler has been tested
in accordance with the SBI Code for Testing Oil-Fired Steel Boilers at
output rates of 125, 150 and 175 per cent of the SBI Net Rating. The
SBI Net Rating (square feet steam) for hand-fired residence boilers is
not greater than 14 times the heating surface. If the heat loss from the
piping system exceeds 20 per cent of the installed radiation, the excess
is to be considered sis a part of the net load.
'
Selection Based on Heating Surface and Grate Area.
-
Where neither the net load nor gross output ratings based upon per formance tests are available, a good general. rule' for conventionally designed boilers is to provide 1 sq.ft of boiler heating surface for each 14 sq ft of equivalent radiation (240 Btu per square foot) represen ted by
the design load. This is equivalent to allowing 10 sq ft of boiler heating surface, per boiler horsepower. In this case it is assumed that the maxi-, mum load including the warming-up allowance will be provided for by operating the boiler in excess of the design load, that is, in excess of the 100 per cent rating on a boiler-horsepower basis. SBI ratings for hand firing are based on 10 sq ft of heating surface per boiler horsepower.
Due to the wide variation which may be encountered in manufacturers' ratings for boilers of approximately the same capacity, it is advisable to check the grate area required for heating boilers burning solid fuel by
means of the following formula:
'
' f _____ H- . - -
CX FXE

v'
where
G = grate area, square feet.
'.
H -- required gross output of the boiler, Btu per hour (see Selection of Boilers).
C = desirable combustion rate for fuel selected, pounds of dry coal per square foot
- of grate per hour (see Table 4).
.'
F = calorific value of fuel, Btu per pound.

..
E = efficiency of boiler, usually taken as 0.60.
Example 1. Determine the grate, area for a required gross output of the boiler of
500,000 Btu per hour, a combustion rate of.6 lb per hour, a calorific value of 13,000 Btu
per pound, and an efficiency of 60 per cent.
'' .
;'
500,000 6 X 13,000 X 0.60 10.7 sq ft
The boiler selected should have a grate area not less than that deter
mined by Equation 1. With small boilers, where it is desired to provide
sufficient coal capacity for approximately an eight-hour firing period plus
a 20 per cent reserve for igniting a new charge,' more grate area may be
required depending upon the depth of the fuel pot. .
.
Selection of Gas-Fired Boilers
.
After determining the net load for the installation, gas designed boilers can usually be selected from manufacturers' tables of net load ratings which are based on piping and pickup allowances varying from 56 per cent for boilers of 200 sq ft and less to 35 per cent for boilers of 4000 sq ft and larger. If the '.piping and pickup load or other factors create an unusual load, a boiler should be selected which has an A.G.A.
348
CHAPTER 18
. 1946 Guide
output rating equal to the maximum output required. Detailed'recom mendations for selection of gas designed boilers are given in the A.G.A. publication, Comfort Heating.
. SPACE LIMITATIONS
Boiler rooms should, if possible, be situated at a central point with respect to the building and should be designed for a maximum of natural light. The space in front of the boilers should be sufficient for firing, stoking, ash removal and cleaning or renewal of flue tubes, and should be at least 3 ft greater than the length of the tubes.
A space of at least 3 ft should be allowed on at least one side of every boiler for convenience of erection and for accessibility to the various dampers, cleanouts and trimmings. The space at the rear of the boiler should be ample for the chimney connection and for cleanouts. With large boilers the rear clearance should be at least 3 ft in width.
The boiler room height should be sufficient, for the location of boiler
accessories and for proper installation of piping. In general the ceiling
height for small steam boilers should be at least 3 ft above the normal
boiler water line. With vapor heating, especially, the height above the
boiler water line is of vital importance.
.
When steel boilers are used, space should be provided for the removal
and replacement of tubes..
,
CONNECTIONS AND FITTINGS
Steam outlet connections should be the full size of the manufacturers' tappings in order to keep the velocity of flow through the outlet reasonably

low and to avoid fluctuation of the water line aind undue entrainment of moisture, and should extend vertically to the maximum height available above the boiler. A steam velocity in boiler outlets not exceeding 25 to 30 fps at maximum load is recommended unless data are available to show that a higher velocity is satisfactory.
Particular attention should be given to fitting connections to secure con
formity with the ASME Boiler Construction Code for Low Pressure
Heating Boilers. Attention is called in particular to pressure gage piping,
water gage connections and safety valve capacity.
.
Where a return header is used on a cast-iron sectional boiler to distribute the returns to both rear tappings, it is advisable to provide full size plugged-tees instead of elbows, where the branch connections enter the return tappings. This facilitates cleaning sludge from the bottom of the boiler, sections through the large, plugged openings. An equivalent clean out plug should be provided in the case of a single return connection.
Blow-off or drain connections should be made near the boiler and so
arranged that the entire system may be drained of water by opening the
drain cock. In the case of two or more boilers separate blow-off connec
tions must be provided for each boiler on the boiler side of the stop valve
on the main return connection.
'-
Water service-connections must be provided for both steam and water
boilers, for refilling and for the addition of make-up water to boilers. This
connection is usually of-galvanized steel pipe, and is made to the return
main near the boiler or boilers.
,.
For further data on pipe connections, for steam and hot water heating
systems, see.Ohapter 23 and 24 and the ASME Boiler Construction Code
for Low Pressure Heating Boilers.
'-
.
. Smoke Breeching and Chimney. Connections.- The-breeching or smoke
pipe from the boiler outlet to the chimney should be air-tight and as short
and direct as possible, preference being given to long radius and 45-deg
instead of 90-deg Lends. The breeching entering a brick chimney should
not project beyond the flue lining and where practicable it should be
grouted from the inside of the chimney. - A. thimble, or sleeve usually is
provided where the-breeching enters a bHck chimney..
.
Where a .battery of boilers is connected into a breeching each boiler should be provided with a tight damper. The breeching for a battery of boilers should not be reduced in size, as it goes to the more remote boilers. Good connections made to. a good chimney will usually result in a rapid response by the boilers to demands for heat.
ERECTION. OPERATION. AND MAINTENANCE
The directions of the boiler manufacturer should always be read before
the assembly or installation of any 'boiler is started, even though the
contractor may be familiar with the boiler.' . All joints requiring boiler
putty or cement which cannot be reached after assembly is complete
must be finished as the assembly progresses." "
'
"
Five precautions that should be taken in all installations to prevent
damage to the boiler are:
..
.
1.-There should be provided proper and convenient drainage connections-for use if the boiler is not in operation during freezing weather.! ' '
2. Strains on the boiler due to movement of piping during expansion should be
350
CHAPTER 18
1946 Guide .
' prevented by suitable anchoring of piping and by proper provision for pipe expansion
and contraction.
.* *
3. Direct impingement of too intense local heat upon any part of the boiler surface,
as with oil burners, should be avoided by protecting the surface with firebrick or other
refractory material.
4. Condensation in steam systems must flow back to the boiler as rapidly and uni
formly as possible. Return connections should prevent the water from backing out of the boiler. .
5. Automatic boiler feeders and low water cut-off devices which shut off the source
of heat if the water in the boiler falls below a safe level are recommended for mechanically
fired boilers.
.
Boiler Troubles
A complaint regarding boiler operation generally will be found to be
due to one of the following:
'
1. The boilerfails to deliver enough heat. The cause of this condition may be: (o) poor
draft; (b) poor fuel; (c) inferior attention or firing; (d) boiler too small; (e) improper
piping; (f) improper arrangement of sections; (g) heating surfaces covered with soot;
(&) insufficient radiation installed; and (*) with mechanical firing, fuel burning equip
ment too small.
# 2. The water line is unsteady. The cause of this condition may be: (a) grease and dirt in boiler: (6) water column connected to a very active section and, therefore, not showing actual water level in boiler; and (c) boiler operating at excessive output.
3. Water disappears from gage glass. This may be caused by: (a) priming due to
grease and dirt in boiler; (&) too great'pressure difference between supply and return
piping preventing return of condensation; (c) valve closed in return line; {d) connection
of bottom of water column into a very active section or thin waterway; and (e) improper
.connections between boilers in battery permitting boiler with excess pressure to push
returning condensation into boiler with lower pressure.
,
4. Water is carried over into steam main. This, may be caused by: (a) grease and dirt * . in boiler; (6) insufficient steam dome or too small steam liberating area; (c) outlet con-,
sections of too small area; (d) excessive rate of output; and (e) water level carried higher than specified.
. 5. Boiler is slow in response to operation of dampers. This may be due to: (a) poor draft resulting from air leaks, into chimney or breeching; (6) inferior fuel; (c) inferior attention; (d) accumulation of clinker on grate; and (e) boiler too small for the load.
6. Boiler requires too frequent cleaning of flues. This may be due to: (a) poor draft;
(6) smoky combustion; (c) too low a rate of combustion; and (d) too much excess air
in firebox causing chilling of gases.
..
-
7. Boiler smokes through fire door. This may be due to: (a) defective draft in chimney
. or incorrect setting of dampers; (6) air leaks into boiler or breeching; (c) gas outlet from
firebox plugged with fuel; (d) dirty or clogged flues; and (e) improper reduction in
' breeching size.
`
-.
8. Low carbon dioxide. This may be due on oil burning boilers to: (a) improper ad-
i'ustment of the burner; (b) leakage through the boiler setting; (c) improper fire caused. iy a fouled nozzle; or (d) to an insufficient quantity of oil being burned.
Cleaning Boilers
All boilers are provided with flue dean-out openings through which the . heating surface can be reached by means of brushes or scrapers. Flues
of solid fuel boilers should be cleaned often to keep the surfaces free of soot or ash. Gas boiler flues and burners should be cleaned at least once a year. Oil burning boiler flues should be examined periodically to deter . mine when cleaning is necessary.
The grease used to lubricate the cutting tools during erection of new piping systems serves as a carrier for sand and dirt, with the result that a scum of fine particles and grease accumulates on the surface of the water in all new boilers, while heavier partides may settle to the bottom of the boiler and form sludge. These impurities tend to cause foaming, preventing the generation of steam and causing an unsteady waterline.
Heating Boilers and Furnaces
351
This unavoidable accumulation of oil and grease'should be removed by blowing off the boiler as follows: If not already provided, install a surface blow connection of at least \]/i in. nominal pipe size with outlet extended-to within 18 in. of the floor or to sewer, inserting a valve in line close to boiler. Bring the water line to center of outlet, raise steaim pres sure and while fire is burning briskly open valve in blow-off line. When pressure recedes, close.valve and repeat process adding water at intervals to maintain proper level. As a final operation bring the pressure in the boiler to about 10 lb', close blow-off, draw the fire or stop burner, and open drain valve. After boiler has cooled partly, fill and flush out several times before filling it to proper water level for normal service. The use of soda, or any alkali, vinegar or any acid is not recommended for cleaning heating boilers because of the difficulty, of complete removal and the possibility of subsequent injury, after the cleaning process has been completed.
Insoluble compounds have been developed which are effective,, but special instructions on the proper cleaning compound and directions for its use in a boiler, as given by the boiler manufacturer, should be carefully followed.
Care of Idle Heating Boilers
.
Heating boilers are often seriously damaged during summer months
due chiefly to corrosion resulting from the combination of sulphur from
the fuel with the moisture in the cellar air. At the end of the heating
season the following precautions should be taken:
-
1. All heating surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly of soot, ash and residue, and the. heating surfaces of steel boilers should be given a coating of lubricating oil on the fire side.
2. All machined surfaces should be coated with oil or grease.
3. Connections to the chimney should be cleaned and in case of small boilers the pipe
should be placed in a dry.place after cleaning.
.
4. If there is much moisture in the boiler room, it is desirable to drain the boiler to
prevent atmospheric condensation on the heating surfaces of the' boiler when they are
below the dew-point temperature. Due to the hazard that some one may inadvertently
build a fire in a dry boiler, however, it is safer to keep the boiler filled with water, par
ticularly in residential installations. Air caii be excluded from a steam boiler by raising
the water level into the steam outlets. A hot water system usually is left filled to the
expansion tank. ...
' --
,
'
6. The grates and ashpit should be cleaned. '
.' -
6. Clean and repack the gage glass if necessary.
7. Remove any rust or other deposit from exposed surfaces by scraping with a wire
brush or sandpaper. After boiler is thoroughly cleaned, apply a coat of preservative
paint where required to external parts normally painted.
'
8. Inspect all accessories of the boiler carefully to see that they are in good working order. In this connection, oil all door hinges, damper bearings and regulator parts.
WARM AIR FURNACES
, Warm air heating: furnaces of a number of types and a wide range of sizes are listed and illustrated in the Catalog Data Section.
TYPES OF FURNACES
Warm air furnaces may be classified in several different ways:
a. According to method of heat distribution--these are either gravity or mechanical
. (blower) furnaces.
''
352
CHAPTER 18
' 1946- Guide
b. According to fuels for which the furnaces are designed - these are coal hand-fired
or stoker-fired, oil, gas, or wood.
.
.
'.
c. According to .materials of construction--they are cast-iron, low carbon steel, and
occasionally high temperature steel alloys.
'
..
.
d. According to design or construction, such as drum and radiator, tubular, hori
zontal, etc.
'
Gravity Warm Air Furnaces
A gravity furnace is one in which the motive head producing air flow'
depends upon the difference in density between the heated air leaving
the top of the casing and the cooled air entering the bottom of the casing.
Since this gravity head is relatively low, the furnace must have low in
ternal resistance to the flow of air and relatively large areas must be
available for free circulation within the furnace casing. It is common
practice to provide approximately 50 per cent free air area through
gravity type furnaces.
.
Furnaces for gravity type systems are available in designs suitable for.
central heating, pipeless furnace, or unit floor furnace installations.
Booster fans are sometimes used in conjunction with gravity design
systems, to increase air circulation. Where a fan is to be used with a
furnace casing sized for gravity air flow, some form of baffling must be
employed to restrict the free area within the casing and to force impinge
ment of the air against the heating surfaces. Where square casings are
used, the corners must be baffled.
-.
Mechanical Warm Air Furnaces
Mechanical or forced warm air furnaces include fans or blowers as
' integfal parts for the purpose of circulating the air and usually includeair
filters.
..
,.
Fans and Motors
;.
Centrifugal fans with either backward or forward curved .blades are
the type most commonly used. Motors may be mounted on the' fan-
shaft or connected to the fan by a belt-drive. Adjustable pulleys aiej
desirable to provide means of regulating the quantity of air distributed!
to the heated spaces. Either the, motor load or the noise, may limit the-
maximum operating fan speed. Two-speed motors have given successful
operating results and are recommended.-. Motors and mountings must be
carefully selected for quiet operation. Electrical conduit and water piping
must not be fastened to, nor make contact with' the fan housing.
.
. --
. - . \ ' .-
Filters
.
,
Several types of filters, are. available for mechanical warm air furnace
applications and are.discussed in Chapter 33. 'For maximum efficiency^
and life under operating conditions, filters should not be subjected to a
temperature in excess of 150 F. Filters should have at least 80 per cent
average efficiency on an 8-hr test at a maximum resistance of 0.25 in. of
water. Filter resistance rises rapidly with the accumulation of dirt,
and may reduce the air circulation over heating surfaces. In domestic
furnaces, the maximum velocity, based on nominal filter area, should not
exceed 300 fpm.
.-
.
Fuel Utilization
.
'.
,A combustion rate of from 5 to 8 lb of coal per (square foot of grate) (hour) is recommended for residential furnaces* A higher combustion
/ Heating Boilers and Furnaces'
353
rate is!permissible with larger furnaces for buildings other than residences,.
depending upon the.ratio of grate surface to heating surface, firing period,
and available draft.
.
In residential furnaces for coal burning, the ratio of heating surface to grate area will average about 20 to 1; in commercial sizes the ratio may be as high as 50 to l-, .depending on fuel and draft. Furnaces may be
installed singly, each furnace with its own fan, or in batteries of a number
of furnaces, using one or more fans.
.
Where oil fuel is used, care must be exercised in selecting the proper
size and type of burner for the particular size and type of furnace used. . Furnaces for burning oil fuel are usually designed for blow-through installations so that the pressure in the,air space is higher than that in the combustion chamber or flues. The National Warm Air Heating and
- Air Conditioning Association has prepared a Tentative Code for Testing
and Rating of Oil-Fired Furnaces. Compact fan-furnace-burner units are available, suitable for basement, closet, or even attic installations. ;
Gas fired forced air furnaces should conform in construction and
performance to A.G.A. Approval Requirements.
Heavy Duly Fan Furnaces
" Fan furnaces for large commercial and industrial buildings, churches,
schools, etc., are available in sizes ranging from 300,000 to 3,000,000 Btu
per (hour) (unit).' Heavy duty furnace heaters may be arranged in
battery combinations of one or more units.
"
Most manufacturers of heavy duty furnaces rate their furnaces in Btu per hour and also in the number of square feet of heating surface. Con servative practice indicates that at no time in the heating-up period should the furnace surface be required to emit more than an average of 3500 Btu per square foot. A higher rate of heat emission tends to increase . the heat loss, up the chimney, and raise fuel consumption, to shorten the life of the furnace, and to overheat the air. The ratio of heating surface to grate area of furnaces for this type of work should never be less than 30 to 1 and as indicated previously may run as high as 50 to 1.
- Control of temperature is secured through (1) controlling the quantity of. heated, air entering the room, (2) using mixing dampers, or (3) regulafing the, fuel'supply.
The design of heavy duty fan furnace heating systems is in many respects similar to that of .the central fan heating systems described in* Chapter 43. Ducts are designed by the method outlined in Chapter 4L
-
MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
;:
Cast-Iron Furnaces
. -
Cast-iron furnaces are made in a multiplicity of designs or shapes. For
solid fuels they are generally of round sectional construction, the sections
being cemented or bolted together. Various types of radiators for.second-
ary convection heat transfer are employed. Such radiators are of the
circular, doughnut type, or tubular type.
,'
Cast-iron is frequently used in the construction of gas or oil-fired, furnaces, designs varying considerably with two general types in common use: multi-sectional type and those with single combustion chambers
having auxiliary secondary surface.
. '- .
Cast-iron furnaces are made in capacities ranging from those for small
354
CHAPTER 18
1946 Guide
.insulated residence application with inputs of -40,000 Btu per hour.or less, to capacities as large as 600,000 Btu per hour.
Cast-iron furnaces are usually constructed with a minimum sectional thickness of J4 in. and effectively resist high.temperatures and corrosion. They usually have a fairly large heat capacity because of their mass, which provides a distinct fly wheel or carry-over heating effect.
Steel Furnaces
Formed sheet steel construction is frequently used in furnace design.
Welding, riveting or both, are used to join the formed metal. The use
of steel castings, however, is rare, because of the cost, and because high
stresses are not encountered in normal furnace construction. Types of
design employed vary greatly, although perhaps the most common type
consists of a drum and circumferential or rear radiator. Steel gas fur
naces may also be sectional in design or may be combinations of common
combustion chambers and sectional or tubular radiation surfaces con
nected to a flue gas collector. .
`.
Steel furnaces are made in capacities ranging from those for small
insulated residence application with inputs of 40,000 Btu per hour to
capacities as large as 600,000 Btu.
/
Steel furnaces have low heat capacities as a result pf their relatively
low mass and, therefore, deliver heat rapidly on demand.
'
RATING OF FURNACES--TESTING AND RATING CODES
Warm air furnaces are generally rated in Btu per hour output at
the bonnet (point of heat generation) or at the register (point of heat
delivery).'
.
'
Rating Equations for Gravity Warm Air Furnaces9
.- '
Until a method of testing and rating gravity warm air furnaces has.
been developed, the' following empirical rating equations are recom
mended by. the National Warm Air Heating and. Air Conditioning Asso
ciation.
'
' ".
'
.
Gravity warm-air furnaces of conventional design, having ratios (of
heating surface to grate area) of 15 to Tor greater, arid having a ratio of
casing area to face area not less than 0.4, are rated by the following
equatioris:-
.'
.
' a. Hand-fired furnaces Converted to Stoker, Gas, or (JiL Firing.
Bonnet Capacity in Btu per hour = 1785 xSx 1.333
(2)
b. Hand-fired furnaces, with ratios of heating surface to grate area greater than 15 to 1
and less than 25 io 1.
,
Bonnet Capacity in Btu per hour = 1785 x S x 1.333
(3)
' c. Hand-fired furnaces with ratios of heating surface to grate area in excess of 25'to 1: `

.
5 = heating surface, in square feet. . G = actual grate area, in square feet. -
.

* .
The- -Register Delivery Rating is equal to 0:75 x (Bonnet Capacity). The Leader Pipe Rating in square inches, formerly used as a rating unit, -may be found by dividing the Register Delivery Rating by 136. - .

Heating Surface of Furnace !
Prime heating surface is defined as surface above the top of the grate
having hot gases or livefuel on one side and circulating air over the other,and
in all cases is measured on the exterior or air side. The areas of the outer
casing, the inner liner, and any radiation shields shall not be con
sidered as heating surface.
.
'.
'
In determining the amount of heatirig surface, extended surfaces are considered to be prime heating surface subject to the following limitations:
a. Extended heating surface may consist of fins, ribs, websj lugs, or other projections
from the prime heating surface. Projections less than Y m. thick at the base and
extending more than 1 in. from the prime surface are classified as fins.
' .- .
b. Integral fins are continuously welded, to, or cast as a part of, the prime heating surface. Both sides are included as heating surface, subject to the following allowances:
1st inch ' 2nd inch
Ratio of Effective Area to Total Area___ 0.40
0.30
3rd inch Over 3 in.
0.20

c. Non-integral fins are spot welded .to, or otherwise held in line.contact with the
prime heating surface. Both sides are included as heating surface, subject to the fol
lowing allowances:

d. In the case of ribs, webs, or lugs more than Y in. thick at the base and extending less than 1 in. from the prime surface, the entire surface in contact with circulating air
is included as heating surface.
e. In the case of ribs, webs, or lugs more than Y .in. thick at the base and extending
more than 1 in. from the prime heating surface the areas of both sides of the first inch
are included as prime heating surface. The portions projecting beyond. 1 in. are treated
as integral fins.
. ' !
'
Grate Area
,
1
Grate area is defined arid 'treated'.fori purpose of rating as follows:
a. The nominal grate area is:defined as..the total cross-sectional area of the-bottom of
the firepot. In steel furnaces the nominal grate-area is the cross-sectional area inside
the firebrick lining.
''
'`
'
b: The actual grate area, used for calculating the ratios of heating surface to grate
area, is the nominal grate area minus certain areas that cannot be considered as part of
the grate itself. The following rules govern.these deductions: (1) If a solid, con
tinuous ledge extends'around the grate and inside the firepot, any area of this ledge
extending' inside of a circle^ the diameter of which is 1 in. less than the diameter of the bottom of the firepot, shall be deducted. (2) If separate, solid projections extend from
the firepot towards the grate, the areas of any portions of these projections extending
inside of a circle, the-diameter of which is 3 in. less than the diameter of the.bottom of
the firepot, shall be deducted. (3) In the case of grates which are inclined, or are conical,
the projected area is the same as the nominal grate area. The latter should, therefore,
be used after making any necessary deductions. -
.'
Ratings for Forced Air . Furnaces ...
.
For solid fuel burning,' forced air furnaces having, bonnet capacities between 80,000 and 250,000 Btu per hour, no standard method.of test has been accepted, although eventually such codes will be developed.
356
CHAPTER 18
1946 Guide
The National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association
recommends empirical equations similar to Equations 2, 3. and 4 for
gravity furnaces, except that a constant of 2265 is used in place of
the 1785.
_
'
The following testing and rating codes have been generally accepted,
in the industry:
/ . ..
Commercial Standards CS-109-44 for rating solid fuel-burning, forced-air furnaces
having bonnet outputs of 80,000 Btu per hour or less. This provides a method of rating
small coal-fired forced-air furnaces by test.
.
A Tentative Code for Testing Oil-Fired Furnaces. This code has been adopted by the
National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association for rating oil-fired fur
naces by test.
'.!
The American Gas Association method of rating gas-fired furnaces based upon per
formance under tests. This is described in the Approval Requirements for Central
Heating Gas Appliances.
.
Commercial Standards 118-44 is a method of rating oil-burning floor furnaces by test.
Commercial Standard CS 104-43 is a method of rating warm air furnaces equipped' with pot-type oil burners by test.
Various codes covering the construction and performance of appliances as related to
fire hazards'have been developed by Underwriter Laboratories, Inc. In addition, there
are many municipal codes 10 which regulate construction and installation of furnace
equipment.
.
The Yardstick of the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association
provides criteria for evaluating a furnace design and installation against, industry
accepted standards.
.
FURNACE EFFICIENCY *.
\
Rating formulae of the National Warm AirHeating and Air Conditioning
Association are based on 55 per cent efficiency for gravity coal furnaces arid 65 per cent efficiency for forced air coal furnaces. In the tentative-
Oil Testing Code the contemplated minimum efficiency is 70 per cent
for oil fired forced air-furnaces. Gravity gas furnaces approved by the. American Gas Association are assigned a rating based on `75 per cent:
efficiency. Ali forced air gas-fired furnaces approved by American. Gas.
.Association are assigned a rating based on 80 per cent efficiency.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Considerations of prime importance in the design of warm air fur
naces and some general suggestions to be observed in connection with1
each are as follows:
'
1. Adequate heat transfer surface.
. . .
a. Heat transfer rates of 2,000 to 4,500 Btu per (hour) (square foot) of heating
surface may be obtained without unduly high metal temperatures. .
.
b. Fins, pins and bosses are frequently used to add surface and to break down - superficial gas films, both on gas-to-metal and metal-to-air surfaces.
. c. Surface and stack (flue gas) temperatures are good indications of the amount . and effectiveness of the heating surfaces.
. 2. Safe and efficient combustion offuel.
.
a. Proper mixture of fuel and air is'necessary for efficient combustion. This
necessitates careful attention to the design of grates, nozzles, burners, air inlet-
areas and location, and combustion chamber baffling.
*
. b. Regulation of the quantity and the distribution of the air for combustion
should be provided by use of check dampers, draft regulators, draft hoods, air
. shutters and air orifices. ` . .
- ;
Heating Boilers and Furnaces
357
c. Total draft loss through appliances should not exceed that available from
` chimneys which would normally be obtainable in the size of building which the
appliance will supply with heat.
.
'
d. The use of ignition safety devices such as safety pilots, hold-fire controls, and
the like is recommended.
.
3. Fuel Capacity of Appliance.
'
a. With solid fuels adequate coal capacity should be provided for at least 5 hr of
operation at the maximum rated combustion rate.
.
4. Adequate circulation of air over heating surface.
a. In gravity furnaces, free air space between casing and heat exchanger should be great enough to permit free flow over all surfaces.
b. Forced air furnace design must include fans having proper capacity and having performance characteristics. Internal static pressures must be minimized without losing the advantages of high velocity circulation over the heat exchanger surfaces.
c. The air flow -over the heating surface must be directed to obtain maximum efficiency and. to eliminate hot spots and air noises. .
d. Air velocities at bonnet should not be much in excess of 1,000 fpm and air
temperature distribution at the furnace outlet should be uniform within approxi-
mately 30 deg.
,, .
5. Durability.
, . ..
a. A minimum metal weight for gas-fired heat exchangers is established at No. 20
U. S. Gage for plain carbon steel by the A .G.A . Approval Requirements for Central
Heating Gas Appliances with some municipal codes specifying 18 gage. Cast-iron
sectional thicknesses of in. to % in. are recommended.
.
b. Added strength and reinforced designs may be required to preclude damage in shipment, burning out from overfiring, or corrosion from condensation.
c. Maximum heat exchanger surface temperatures which, may be used vary with
the metal. The American Gas Association Approval Requirements for Central
- Heating Gas Appliances specify a maximum of 875 F for cast-iron or steel gas
furnaces, and the Bureau of Standards CS 109-44 Code for-Forced Air Solid
Fuel-Burning Furnaces specifies 1000 F-as a maximum surface temperature.
These temperatures define the range in which oxidation of non-alloy ferrous metal
begins. The use of proper alloy additions increases the temperature resistance
properties of metals.
'.
,,-
d. Casing temperatures should be controlled so that they do not become hazards to bum those who touch them, or to create fires.
6. Serviceability. .
.
`
a. Those parts of the furnace which may be subject to soot, fly-ash, or conden sation deposits, should be accessible for cleaning.
' b. Parts which may require adjustments or replacements, such as grates, baffles,
liners, controls, should be removable. .
'
c. Furnaces should be so designed that they can be installed with a minimum of difficulty.
7. Control.
.
-
a. Thermostatic controls of various types should be used to correlate space tem
peratures with unit operation.
,
'
b. Controls should be provided wherever possible, to prevent the occurrence of
excessive temperatures or other conditions in any part of the unit which might
cause unsafe operation.
.
8. General design considerations.
.
..
a. Furnace casings are normally constructed of formed and painted sheet steel or
of galvanized iron. The casing should be protection from.excessive radiation losses
and temperatures by use of insulation or sheet steel air space liners. Liners
should extend from the grate level to the top of the furnace and should be spaced
from 1 in. to
in. from the outer casing.
.
358
CHAPTER 18
, 1946 Guide
. b. The hood or bonnet of the casing' above the furnace should be as high as base
. ment conditions will allow, to'form a plenum chamber over the top of the furnace.
This tends to equalize the pressure and temperature' of the air leaving the bonnet
through the various openings. It is generally considered advisable to take off
. the" warm air pipes from the'side of the bonnet near the top, as this method of
take-off allows the use of a higher bonnet and thus provides a larger plenum
chamber.
.
c. Warm air outlet and return air connections should be designed so that the ductwork may be easily attached. A % in. flange is normally used for this purpose.
d. Suitable provision shall be made in appliances so that the controls and humidi
fiers may be installed in the proper location. When these auxiliary units are
installed in the ductwork, detailed instructions should be provided to insure
- their proper location.
''
'.
e. The flue connection should be of integral flue pipe size and provision should be made to attach the flue pipe to the flue outlet of the furnace.
HUMIDIFICATION EQUIPMENT FOR FURNACES
Water evaporating pans are usually located in air which has been heated by contact with the heating surfaces'. To change water into vapor capable of being carried in an air stream as part of the mixture, about 1000 Btu per pound are required. There is a trend in present practice toward heating the water in addition to heating the air. Equipment for doing this, may make use of sprays, or it may . take' the form of water' circulating coils placed within the combustion chamber and connected by pipes to the humidifier pans where a constant water level is maintained by some separate float device.
Sprays are usually controlled by solenoid valves wired in parallel
with the fan motor. The water supply may, in torn, be controlled by a
humidity-controlling device located in one of the living rooms, so that the
washer will operate at all times when the fan is in operation, unless the
relative humidity should rise beyond a desirable percentage. Sprays
used in connection with commercial or heavy duty plants should be a
regulation type of commercial spray. In all cases provision must be made
to flush out accumulation of lime and dirt.

Theoretical and Available Draft, Determining Chimney Sizes, Factors Affecting Required Draft,. Domestic Chimneys, Ob served Test Performance, Draft Requirements of Domestic ' Appliances, Construction Details, General Considerations
ADRAFT, in the older sense, is a current of air and the draft of a furnace or boiler is that air current which flows through the fire-box and furnishes the oxygen for combustion. In engineering, however, the. word draft has come to mean, that pressure difference which causes this air current to flow and the word will be used in this sense in this chapter. .
Draft is usually measured in inches of water and it is proper to speak
of the draft in the fire-box or in the smoke breeching, etc., meaning the
difference in pressure between the gases within and the air without those
parts of a system. Draft is called positive when the pressure within such
a part is less than that outside.1
. .
Draft is classified as natural, and mechanical, depending on whether it
is produced by a chimney or by a blower, and mechanical draft is further
classified as induced or forced, depending on whether the air is drawn
through or forced through the combustion chamber.
'
Chimneys can serve both to create a draft and to dispose of combustion
products at a desirable height. For the latter purpose, chimneys, stacks,
or, in the case of ships, funnels, are used in conjunction with mechanical-
draft systems.
.
THEORETICAL DRAFT
. If the air in one of two equal chimneys is heated while that in the other
is not, the air in the heated chimney will be less heavy, than that in the
other chimney and a manometer or other pressure gage connecting the
two at the bottom will indicate a pressure difference, called natural draft.
The pressure of the air at the tops of the'two chimneys will be equal, so
that the pressure difference between them at the bottom will depend only
on their height and the difference in density of the air they contain. The
density of the air-in either chimney is inversely proportional to its absolute
temperature, so that the difference in pressure between them at the
bottom will be proportional to their height and to the difference between
the reciprocals of the absolute temperatures within them.
The pressure-at the bottom of an unheated (and'uncooled) chimney will be the same as that of the air outside, so that the unheated chimney can be dropped from the foregoing illustration.. The manometer reading will be the same if its free connection is left open to the atmosphere.
These considerations in conjunction with those of barometric pressure
and the difference in density of flue gases from that of- air lead to the
following formula: '

CHAPTER 19
1946 Guide
Tq = temperature of air surrounding the chimney, Fahrenheit degrees absolute.
Tc = average or effective temperature of the.gases in the chimney, Fahrenheit de
grees absolute.
The quantity Dt, yielded by the formula, is the pressure difference
between the gas inside and air outside of the chimney, in inches of water,
when no flow occurs in the chimney. The quantity is variously known
as the theoretical draft, the static draft or the computed draft. It'is very
. useful in predicting and analyzing chimney performance, but it is seldom
if ever attained in an actual chimney on account of the friction incident
to gas flow, wind effects, etc.
,
AVAILABLE DRAFT
The available draft, D*,for large chimneys and stacks has been estimated with apparent satisfaction in the past by means of formulas which in effect deduct an estimated friction loss from a theoretical draft deter mined as in Equation 1. The friction loss can be estimated by means of one of the formulae available for ducts, such as the Fanning equation. This procedure results in formulas for the available draft as follows:. '

The following notes facilitate the use of Equations 2 and 3.
...
1. The barometric pressure, represented by BQ, is the actual pressure at the site of the chimney and not the pressure reduced to sea level datum.
In general, the barometric pressure decreases approximately 0.1 in. HgJ>er 100, ft
increase in elevation.
...
`
2. The unit weight of a cubic foot of chimney gases at 0 F and sea level barometric
pressure is given by the equation:
./
. Wc=.0.131COt + 0.0950, + 0.083iV,
. (4)
In this equation CO,, 0, and N* represent the percentages of the parts by volume of the
carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen content, respectively, of the gas analysis. For
ordinary operating conditions, the value'of Wc may be assumed at 0.09. .
The density effect on the chimney gases due to superheated water vapor resulting from moisture and hydrogen in the fuel, or due to any air infiltrations in the chimney
proper is disregarded.. Though water vapor content is hot disclosed by Orsat analysis,
its presence tends, to reduce the actual weight per cubic foot of chimney gases.
3. The atmospheric temperature is the actual observed temperature of the outside air
Chimneys and Draft Calculations
361
at the time the analysis of the operating chimney is made. The mean atmospheric temperature in the temperate zone is approximately 62 F.
4. The chimney gas temperature decreases from' the breeching connection to the top of the stack. This drop in temperature depends upon the material and construction of the' stack, its tightness or freedom from leaks, its area, its height, and the velocity of. the gases through it. The same chimney will suffer different temperature losses depending upon the capacity under which it is working and the variable atmospheric conditions. No general equation covering all these variables has been suggested, but from observa tions on chimneys varying in diameter from 3 to 16 ft and in height from 100 to 250 ft Equation 5 was deduced l:

where
.
T*i = absolute temperature at the center of the connection from the breeching, Fahrenheit degrees.
Hb = the height of the stack above center line connection to breeching, feet.
5. The coefficient offriction between the chimney gases and a sooted surface has been taken by many workers in this field as a constant value of 0.016 for the conditions in volved; This value, of course, would be less for a new unlined steel stack than for a brick or brick-lined chimney, but in time the inside surface of all chimneys regardless of the materials of construction becomes covered with a layer of soot, and thus the coef ficient of. friction has been taken the same for all types of chimneys and in general constant for all conditions of operation. For reasons of simplicity and convenience to the reader,, this constant value of 0.016 has been employed in the development of the various special equations and charts shown in this chapter.
In important chimney design, especially when the construction or the materials are
unusual, it is recommended that use be made of the Reynolds number 4 in determining
the friction factor, /.
`
The following problem illustrates the use of Equation 2:
Example 1. Determine the available draft of a natural draft chimney 200 ft in height
and 10 ft in diameter operating under the following conditions: atmospheric tempera
ture, 62 F; chimney gas temperature, 500 F; sea level.atmospheric pressure, B0 = 29.92
in.' Hg; atmospheric and chimney gas density, 0.0863 and 0.09, respectively; coefficient
of friction, 0.016; length of friction duct, 200 ft. The chimney discharges 100 lb of
gases per second.
'
Substituting these values in Equation 2 and reducing:
.
A, = 2.96 X 200 X 29.92 X (^3
0.09 \ 0.00126 X 100* X 960 X 0.016 X 200
960 /
10s X 29.92 X 0.09
= 1.27 -0.14 = 1.13 in.
Fig. 1 shows the variation in the available draft of a typical 200 ft by
10 ft chimney operating under the general conditions noted in Example 1.
When the chimney is under static conditions and no gases are flowing, the
available draft is equal to 1.27 in. of water, the theoretical intensity. As
the amount of gases flowing increases, the available draft decreases until
it becomes zero at a gas flow of 297 lb per second, at which point the draft
loss due to friction is equal to the theoretical intensity. The point of
maximum draft and zero capacity is called shut-off draft, or point of
impending delivery, and corresponds to the point of shut-off head of a
centrifugal pump. The point of zero draft and maximum capacity is
called the wide open point and corresponds to the wide open point of a
centrifugal pump. A set of operating characteristics may be developed
for any size chimney operating under any set of conditions by substituting
the proper values in Equation 2 and then plotting the results in the
manner shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 2 is a typical chimney performance chart giving the available draft
for various gas flow rates and sizes of chimney. This chart is based oh an
atmospheric temperature of 62 F, a chimney gas temperature of 600 F,
a unit chimney gas weight of 0.09 lb per cubic foot, sea level atmospheric
pressure, a coefficient of friction of 0.016, and a friction duct length equal
to the height of the chimney above the grate level. These curves may be
used for general operating conditions. For specific conditions, a new chart
may be prepared from Equation 2 or 3.

DETERMINING CHIMNEY SIZES
If the required performance for a proposed chimney is known and if a chimney-gas velocity is assumed, Equation 2 can be transposed to yield the necessary height and an equation can be developed'for the required diameter. These operations result in the following equations:
H=

For large chimneys, it is usual to assume that total construction cost is least when the product HD (height X diameter) is minimum. On this assumption, the product of Equations 6 and 7 can be differentiatedand
To solve a typical example: Pro ceed horizontally from a Weight

height line; from this intersection follow horizontally to the right to Available Draft scale. Starting
from a point of Available Draft, take steps in reverse order.
the differential. set equal to zero to find the minimum. Solution for velocity then yields the following equation:
where Ke = economical chimney gas velocity, feet pet second.
'
Equations 6,-7 and 8 can of course be simplified if values are assumed for some of the factors in it. Some typical figures for boiler plants are :
Average chimney gas temperature 500 F ................ ............ Tc = 960 F absolute Average atmospheric temperature 62 F__________..................

When these values are substituted in Equations 8, 7 and 6 respectively,
the results are:

H = 190Z3r (11)
' , Fig. 3 gives the economical chimney sizes for various amounts of gases flowing and for required draft intensities computed from Equations 9, 10 and 11. They are based on the operating factors used in-reducing Equations 6, 7 and 8 to their simpler form. The sizes shown by the curves in the chart-should be used for general operating conditions only,

or where the required data necessary for an exact determination are difficult or impossible to secure. Whenever it is possible to secure accurate data, or the anticipated operating conditions are fairly well known, the required size should be determined from Equations 6, 7 and 8.
FACTORS AFFECTING REQUIRED DRAFT

DOMESTIC CHIMNEYS
The height of a chimney for a residence or apartment is generally limited by the height of the building since it is desirable to have the chimney architecturally congruous with the building. . The height desir able from an architectural viewpoint and the location of the chimney may be disadvantageous to the operation of the boiler or furnace and it is therefore important that the manufacturer of the fuel burning appliance to be installed be consulted in regard to the adequacy of the chimney.
Diameter values also for gas temperatures of 400, 500 and 600 F.

required draft is, of course, equal to the sum of all the resistances to gas flow from the ash pit door to and including the chimney connection.
Fig. 4 presents information on the fuel-bed draft loss for various kinds of coal burned at different rates and rough generalizations can be given for the losses in the flue passages of boiler or furnace, but, on account of the great differences in such devices, more reliable data on their flue gas volume temperature and flue resistance should be obtained for design purposes from their respective manufacturers.
Flue gases encounter resistance to flow in breechings or smoke pipes and this can probably be treated with sufficient accuracy by means of the method used for air ducts. (See Chapter 41.) The friction in straight ducts can be estimated by means of the last terms of Equations 2 and 3..
Also, the temperature of flue gases falls during passage through breech ings or flue pipes. For uninsulated surfaces this probably can be ade quately estimated by assuming a loss of heat from the flue gas of 3 Btu per
POUNDS OF COAL BURNED PER SQ FT OF GRATE SURFACE PER HOUR
Fig. 4. Draft Required at Different Rates of Combustion for Various Kinds of Coal
A chimney in order to provide a satisfactory performance must have adequate height and area, be of permanently tight construction and should be as smooth internally as practicable.
It should be remembered that mechanically fired devices, oil burners and stokers, are equipped with blowers so that, with these devices, the chimney is not required to overcome the resistance of a fuel bed. Never theless, a draft in the fire box, of about 0.03 in. of water is considered desirable so that any small openings in the fire box or flue passages will result in leakage of air in, and not leakage of combustion products out, of such parts. This is not to be taken to condone leaks in fire boxes. Such leaks adversely affect plant efficiency. '
OBSERVED TEST PERFORMANCE
The observed performances of some brick chimneys3 are given in Tables 1 and 2.
The tests on which these data are based were made at various outside
temperatures as shown and, to make them comparable among themselves,

It will be noted that the observed draft exceeded the computed static draft during some observations on the shorter chimneys. This is mainly attributed to the draft producing effect of the hot gases immediately above the chimney. By means of a manom eter it was found that
a measurable draft ex isted in this gas column for some distance above
the chimney top. How ever, the temperatures in the chimney were measured with un
shielded thermocouples and the actual gas tem peratures may have been higher for this rea son than the observed temperatures on which the computations of draft were based. The tests were made in calm weather.

to be the same as that of air at the same condition, since the error thus
introduced was not considered important in this case. The results of the
tests showed that the following procedures would yield the available draft

shown and for fuel burning rates from about one-quarter to three-
quarters of a gallon of oil per hour.

4. If the chimney is insulated with 1 in. of air-cell material and has a 1-in. air space closed at top and bottom to prevent ventilation, multiply the static draft by 0.85 to find the available draft.
The use of the 1-in. air-cell asbestos insulation in the tests discussed is not to be construed as an approval of such insulation in all cases in regard to fire resistance. Several laboratories are working on the fire resistance aspects of the problem but definite rules are not yet available. For coalor oil-burning devices, a bare smoke pipe'is probably safe if kept 2 ft or more from any woodwork and the better the pipe is insulated, or the lower its temperature, the nearer it can be placed to combustible materials.

CHIMNEYS FOR GAS HEATING
Heating appliances designed to burn gas as well as appliances converted
to gas burning, except those equipped with power type burners and
excepting conversion burner installations in excess of 400,000 Btu per
hour input in large steel boilers, are always equipped with a draft hood
attached to the flue outlet of the appliance. This draft hood is required
if the appliance is to meet the approval requirements of the American
Gas Association and the American Standards Association and is essential
for safe operation. It is designed to prevent excessive chimney draft
which would lower appliance efficiency, to prevent a blocked flue or a
down draft in the chimney from impairing combustion, to provide a relief
opening for the products of combustion during down draft or blocked flue
conditions, and to prevent spillage of the products of combustion to the
space surrounding the appliance if there is a chimney draft equivalent
to that provided by a 3-ft chimney. As the draft hood is designed without
moving parts, the relief opening is always open and consequently some
air is drawn into the chimney. While the air drawn in lowers the gas-
temperature in the chimney, it also lowers the dew-point of the gases and
tends to prevent condensation.
.
The installation of conversion burner equipment in large boilers is usually made in accordance with regulations of the local gas company. In such installations a definite chimney draft may be required for proper
370
CHAPTER 19
- 1946 Guide
combustion and consequently the foregoing reference to the use of draft hoods would not apply.
The products of complete combustion of gas are water vapor (H^O) and carbon dioxide (COj). In the case of manufactured gas, the presence of organic sulphur compounds, generally between 3 and 15 grains per hundred cubic feet, gives rise to minute percentages of sulphur dioxide and sulphur tri-oxide.
The volume of water vapor in the flue products from natural or coke oven gas is about twice the volume of carbon dioxide. It is extremely important that the chimney be tight and resistant to corrosion not only of moisture, but also of dilute sulphur trioxide.
Vitreous tile linings with joints which prevent retention of moisture and linings made of non-corrosive materials are advantageous. The protection of unlined chimneys has been investigated and the results indicate that after the loose material has been removed, the spraying with a water emulsion of asphalt chromate will provide excellent protection.
Advice regarding recommended practice and materials for flue con nections and chimney linings can usually be obtained from the local gas company and should be given careful consideration.
Since a gas designed appliance must be able to operate at rated input (plus 10 or 15 per cent) without chimney connection,' and without pro ducing carbon monoxide, the only function of the chimney is to .remove the products of combustion from the room. The chimney provides draft to overcome the friction in the flue pipe and chimney, but does not draw air into the appliance.
Chimneys for venting appliances designed for bhrning gas can there fore be low in height, but must have adequate area. The height is usually established by the building height. Chimney sizes are usually selected on the basis of Btu input to the appliance. One chart6 designed to facilitate selection is shown in Fig. 6. The assumptions made in preparing the chart as well as its limitations should be noted carefully.
Since Fig. 6 has been prepared for circular flues, relative capacities for rectangular and semi-elliptical flues6 are shown in Fig. 7.
When a flue is connected to several appliances, the number of hori zontal funs of various sizes which may be substituted for the single run having a diameter equal to that of the flue may be obtained from Table 4.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
For general data on the construction of chimneys reference should be made to the Building Code recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, Article XI, Sections 1101 to 1105, in which the following are some of the important provisions listed in the 1943 edition:
() Chimneys erected within or attached to a structure shall be constructed of brick, of solid block masonry, or of reinforced concrete.
() Chimneys shall extend at least 3 ft above the highest point where they pass
through the roof of' the building and at least 2 ft higher than any ridge within 10 ft of
such chimney.
.
.(c) Every such chimney shall be properly capped with brick, terra cotta, stone,
cast-iron, concrete or other approved non-combustible, weatherproof material.
.
(<f) Chimneys shall be wholly supported on approved masonry or self-supporting
fireproof construction.
.
(e) No such chimney shall be corbeled from a wall more than 6 in.; nor shall such chimney be corbeled from a wall which is less than 12 in. in thickness unless it projects equally on each side of the wall; provided that in the second story of two-story dwellings
Chimneys and Draft Calculations
371
corbeling of chimneys on the exterior of the enclosing walls may equal the wall thickness.
In every case the corbeling shall not exceed 1 in. projection for each-course of brick
projected.
.
'
(f) No change in the size or shape of a chimney, where the chimney passes through the roof, shall be made within a distance of 6 in. above or below the roof joists or rafters.
(g) Smoke flues for warm air, hot water and low pressure steam heating furnaces shall have walls not less than 8 in. thick; the walls may be of solid masonry using brick, stone or concrete, or of solid moulded or solid cast chimney units of concrete, or of burned clay, or of suitably reinforced solid concrete cast in place; provided that for stone masonry other than sawed or dressed stone in courses, the thickness shall be not less

(h) Required flue linings shall be made of fire clay or other refractory clay to with stand the action of flue gases and to resist, without softening or cracking, the tempera tures to which they will be subjected, but not less than 2,000 F, or of cast-iron'of ap proved quality, form and construction.

(t) Required clay flue linings shall be not less than % in. thick for the smaller flues and increasing in thickness for the larger flues.
(j) Flue linings shall be built ahead of the construction of the chimney as it is carried up, carefully bedded one on the other in mortar as hereinafter specified with.close fitting joints left smooth on the inside.
(k) Flue linings shall start from a point not less than 8 in. below the intake. They

shall extend, as nearly vertically as possible, for the entire height of the chimney. It is recommended that flue linings be extended 4 in. above the top or cap of the chimney.
(I) Only Portland cement mortar, cement lime mortar or fire clay mortar shall be used in setting flue linings.
For gas appliances the Building Code specifies lined chimneys and
metal smoke stacks for all appliances which may be converted readily
to the use of solid or liquid fuel and also for all boilers and furnaces
except those having a flue gas temperature, not exceeding 550 F at the
outlet of the draft hood when burning gas at the manufacturer's rating
and which may therefore be connected to Type B vent piping. Approved
Type B vent piping is non-combustible, corrosion resistant piping of
adequate strength and heat insulating value, and having bell and spigot
or other acceptable joints. Fig. 6 may be used for selection of vent pipe
size.
.
.
Important points to be considered in the use of Type B vent piping are:
1. Type B flues must be plainly and permanently marked, at the point where the vent connection
enters the flue: For use of gas appliances only.-
.
_
2. Type B vent material should not be used for external chimney flues and external runs of it should
not exceed 3`ft outside the building roof. When this requirement makes it necessary to cross over through
attic space, the piping should be pitched not less than 45 deg.
.
...
. - -
3. Because of the small size and low temperature. Type B vents should be provided with a vent cap
with wire screening to prevent building of buds' nests..
..

4. Each appliance should have the equivalent of a 4 in. diameter Type B vent, even though the appliance
may have a 3 in. flue collar. A typical minimum vertical flue size for a frame dwelling is 6 in. in diameter `
or equivalent.
'
5. When several floor furnaces are to be vented, it. is acceptable practice to connect each of these by
means of 4 in. vents to a common 6 in. vertical vent. Lateral piping must have adequate pitch, in. per
foot, and should not exceed 20 ft in horizontal length.
'
-
6. An alternate method of connecting several appliances is to run separate Type B vents to the attic
and then to connect them by means of cross-over piping and Y fittings to a common vertical vent pacing '
through the roof. This reduces the number of boles in the roof.
All flue mortar for flues or vent pipes from gas burning appliances shall be acid resisting.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR CHIMNEYS
The draft of domestic chimneys may be subject to a variety of influences not usually encountered in power chimneys7. Horizontal winds have an aspirating effect as they cross the chimney and are an aid to draft. However, surrounding objects, such as trees or other buildings, may

affect the direction of the wind at the chimney top and may even direct it down the chimney, tending to reduce the draft or even to cause it to be negative. Although the chimney should extend well above the highest part of the roof, it is impracticable to carry it much beyond this point.
It is also important to consider the source of the air supply for proper combustion. Usually the boiler or furnace is located in the basement. When the furnace room has windows or doors opening to the outside on two or more sides of the house, the leakage of air will be sufficient for combustion, even though the windows and doors may be shut. If, however, the leakage is not sufficient to prevent an appreciable drop of pressure in the furnace room below that of the air outside, the chimney draft will be reduced by the difference between the atmospheric pressure outside and that inside the boiler room. In case the boiler room is fairly tight and is open to the outside on only one side of. the house, then the draft will be affected in windy weather even with windows or doors open. If the wind is blowing toward the boiler room the draft will be increased, but if blowing in the opposite direction the draft may be decreased.
It is not to be assumed that increasing the cross-section area of a chimney will always effect a cure for poor draft. The opposite result may be experienced because of the cooling effect of the larger area. This reduces the theoretical draft and the velocity of. the gases, and affords a greater opportunity for counter currents in the chimney. Sometimes the only practical remedy for a chimney with bad draft, when the chimney is of the proper size and is affected by conditions beyond control, is to resort to mechanical draft. This can often be done at small expense and the arrangement can be such that the fan or blower need be operated only when conditions are bad.
' /
374
CHAPTER 19
1946 Guide
Two or more chimneys, either large or small, should never be connected
together especially near the bottom. Hot gases in an inverted U-tube thus
formed will be in unstable equilibrium. Cold air will descend through one
such chimney, from the top, and drive the hot gases out of the other and
thus annul the draft.
.
More than one device can be served by one chimney. Batteries of boilers are commonly connected to a single chimney in power plants. However, if two or more chimneys are used, each chimney should be used separately for part of the boilers, and not connected in manifold with another chimney, in order to avoid the difficulty described previously.
In domestic installations it is sometimes necessary to serve a space heater or cooking stove and a water heater with the same chimney flue. This is not desirable; especially for low chimneys, since doors left open on one device while it is un-fired will tend to annul the draft on another device. Gas burning devices, with their draft hoods and lack of draft dampers, are especially bad in this respect. The traditional method of avoiding this with brick chimneys has been to construct multiple-flue chimneys, so that each fuel-burning device could be served by a separate opening. If two devices must be served by one flue-opening in a chimney, their connections to the chimneys should not be located opposite each other. The connection from the larger device should be reasonably low down and that from the smaller, up near the ceiling, so that each device can be serviced as well as possible, regardless of the treatment of the other.
Excessive height in a chimney does no harm but means for controlling
the draft are more than ordinarily essential if the chimney is too large in
capacity. Coal-burning devices often have air leaks around the fire-box
and the draft doors sometimes, fit poorly so that the fire cannot be con
trolled at a low rate. Perhaps the simplest remedy for such cases is the
barometric damper which admits air into the flue pipe and thus reduces
the draft.
.

Directions for building chimneys for fireplaces are contained in Depart ment of. Agriculture Farmers' Bulletin No. 1230.
It is considered bad practice,to connect any heating device to a fireplace
flue unless the fireplace is effectively sealed.

.
MANY methods are in use for estimating in advance of actual oper ation the anticipated heat or fuel consumption of heating plants over long or short periods. With suitable modification in procedure these same general methods are frequently useful in checking the degree of effectiveness with which heat or fuel is utilized during plant operation.
In applying any of these estimating methods to the consumption of a particular building plant it should be noted that (a) reliable records of past heat or fuel consumptions of the building under consideration will ' usually produce more trustworthy estimates of future consumptions than will any data obtained by averages or from other similar buildings; (b) where no past records exist useful data can sometimes be obtained from records of similar buildings with similar plants in the same locality; (c) records of consumption, .which are averages from many types of plants in many types of buildings in various localities, can produce no better than an average estimate which may be far from accurate; (d) estimates based on computed heat losses without the benefit of operating data are wholly dependent on how well the computation represents the actual facts.
Estimates based on computed heat losses alone are frequently the only
ones possible to obtain, especially where new equipment is put into
unusual buildings and there is a scarcity of records and an absence of
experience data. Such estimates also have to be made where direct
information is not obtainable as, for example, if a survey is being made
without the assistance or knowledge of the building operator and thus '
without information as to the actual consumption. Estimates of this
kind are also useful in some cases where a relative standard of performance
is desired to serve as a base of comparisons in a campaign of fuel utili
zation.
"
In interpreting and evaluating heat or fuel consumption estimates as well as in their preparation, it is well to realize that any estimating method used will produce a more reliable result over a long period operation than over a short period. Nearly all of the methods in common use will give trustworthy results over a full annual heating season, and in some cases such estimates will prove consistent within themselves for monthly periods. As the period of the estimate is shortened there is more chance that some factor not allowed for in the estimating method will become controlling and thus give discrepant and even ridiculous results.
Of the various estimating methods in use attention is directed in this, discussion to but two as they are illustrative of all, viz: (1) calculated heat loss method, and (2) degree-day method.
CALCULATED HEAT LOSS METHOD
This method is theoretical and assumes constant temperatures for very definite hours each day throughout the entire heating season. It does not
375

take into account factors which are difficult to evaluate such as opening
of windows, abnormal heating of the building, poor heating systems,
winter heat gains, such as sun effect, and many others.
In order to apply this method the hourly heat loss from the building under maximum load, or design condition, is computed following the
principles discussed in Chapters 6 and 8 and the method described and illustrated in Chapter 14.
In some cases, however, depending on the presence of interior par titions, the computed heat loss is modified when used for estimating the heat or fuel consumption. If the building has no interior walls or par titions then, by the method of Chapters 8 and 14, the infiltration losses are calculated by using only half the total window crack. In such a building the calculated loss need not be modified in order to prepare heat or fuel estimates by this method. Where the building does contain interior walls or partitions instead of using as the calculated heat loss (H) which is equal to the sum of the transmission losses (Ht) and the infiltration
losses (Hi), it is more desirable to let H = Ht + t~'
In predicting fuel consumption for heating a building by the Calculated
Heat Loss Method, the general'equation is:
,
where
H{t - t*) N E (td -- to) C
(1)
F = quantity of fuel or energy required (in the units in which C is expressed). H = calculated heat loss, Btu per hour, during the design hour, based on to and /d
^generally H -- Ht + Hi but may on occasion equal Ht +
t -- average inside temperature maintained during heating period, Fahrenheit degrees,
/a ~ average outside temperature through estimate period, Fahrenheit degrees (for cities with an Oct. 1-May 1 heating season, see Table 1, Chapter 14).
<d ~ inside design temperature, Fahrenheit degrees (usually 70 F).
.
to = outside design temperature, Fahrenheit degrees (see Table 1 in Chapter 14).
> N = number of heating hours in estimate period (for an Oct. 1--May 1 heating season, 212 days X 24 hr = 5088).
E -- efficiency of utilization of the fuel over the period, expressed as a decimal; not the efficiency at peak or rated load condition.
C *= heating value of one unit of fuel or energy.
Although the assumption of an Oct. 1-May 1 heating season is reason ably accurate in the well-populated New York-Chicago zone, it is not valid as far north as Minneapolis nor farther sbuth than Washington, D. C. and St. Louis. Consequently, it is suggested that allowance be made for this variation, especially in the far north or southern cities.
Example 1. A residence in Chicago is to be heated to 70 F from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 55 F from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The calculated hourly heat loss is 120,000 Btu per hour based on 70 F inside at --10 F outside. If the building is to be heated by metered steam, how many pounds would be required during an average heating season?
Solution. The heating value of steam may be taken as 1000 Btu per pound, and since
it is purchased steam, the efficiency can be assumed as 100 per cent. From Table 1,
Chapter 14, /a = 36.4 F. The average inside temperature is:
`
(16 X 70) + (8 X 55) _ 65 F

Example 2. How much would the fuel cost to heat the building in Example 1 during an average heating season with coal at $8 per ton and with a calorific value of 11,000 Btu per pound, assuming that the seasonal efficiency of the plant was 55 per cent?

Solution. Substituting in Equation 1: F= 0 55 [70' -- (--10)1 11 000 = 36,079 lb
= 18 tons, which, at $8 per ton, costs $144.
Example S. What will be the estimated fuel cost per year of heating a building with gas,.assuming that the calculated hourly heat loss is 92,000 Btu based on 0 F, which includes 26,000 Btu for infiltration? The design temperatures are 0 F and 72 F. The normal heating season is 210 days, and the average outside temperature during the ' heating season is 36.4 F. The seasonal efficiency will be 75 per cent. The heating plant will be thermostatically controlled, and a temperature of 55 F will be maintained from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Assume that the price of gas is 7 cents per 100,000 Btu of fuel con sumption, and disregard the' loss of heat through open windows and doors.
Solution. The average hourly temperature is:
= (72 X 16) + (55 X 8) = g6 g p
The maximum hourly heat loss will be: on non

Several time-saving procedures have been devised for quickly esti
mating the heat consumption of one and two-story residences in order
that fuel estimates can be predicted more quickly from Equation 1. . A
graphical method of calculating heat losses has beep developed1 which
makes possible a quick solution if the gross wall, ceiling, or floor areas,and
respective transmission coefficients are known.
.
The Federal Housing Administration has originated a short-cut formula for residential heat loss determinations which makes use of the floor area and three selected transmission coefficients. Equation 2 is for a one-story residence and Equation 3 is intended for two-story structures.
H, = A (0.45 + U,,+Vc + Ut) (ld- to)
(2)
.H,"= A (0.45 + 1.2 l/,, + 0.5 Uc + 0.5 Ut) (td - to)
(3)
where
.
Hi = heat loss from one-story residence, Btu per hour.
Hi = heat loss from two-story residence, Btu per hour.
A -- floor area, square feet.
f/w = coefficient-of transmission for outside wall.
'
Uc = coefficient transmission for ceiling, from air in rooms to air in attic space (for 1 ventilated attics).
Ut -- coefficient of transmission for floor from air in rooms to air in basement.
/d = inside design temperature, Fahrenheit degrees.
<0 = outside design temperature, Fahfenheit degrees. '
Both the graphical method and short-cut formula have been found to give accurate and consistent results for the average residence, but if precise estimates are required, the procedure outlined in Chapter 14 should be used.
In the case of gravity warm air heating installations, the load was formerly expressed in square inches of leader pipe which can be converted
378
CHAPTER 20
1946 Guide
into Btu per hour by multiplying the square inches of leader area by 111. 167 and 200 for first, second and third floor respectively.
. Example 4 What would be the total gas consumption over a full heating season of a
gas-fired gravity warm air furnace designed according to the Code*, and with four 12 in.
and two 8 in. round leaders to the first floor and six 10 in. leaders to the second floor, if
the gas has a heating value of 500 Btu per cubic foot, the plant operates at a 70 per cent
seasonal efficiency and is designed to maintain an average inside temperature of 65 F
when it' is 10 F outside in a city where the average outside temperature is 45 F and the
heating season is 5088 hr long?
'
Solution. The area of the round leaders is: 12 in., 113 sq in.; 10 in., 79 sq in.; and 8 in., 50 sq in. The total Btu transmitted is:
First Floor: [(4 X 113) + (2 X 50)1 X 111 = 61,272 Btu per hour.
Second Floor: (6 X 79) X 167
= 79,158 Btu per hour.
Total 140,430 Btu per hour.
Substituting this total heat loss value as H in Equation 1 gives: 140,430 (65 - 45) 5088
F 0.70 (70 - 10) 500 = 680,483 cu ft gas.
DEGREE-DAY METHOD
This method is based on consumption data which have been taken from
buildings in operation, and the results computed on a degree-day basis.
While this method may not be as theoretically correct as the Calculated
Heat Loss Method, it is considered by many to be of more value for
practical use.
,.
.
The amount of heat required by a building depends upon the outdoor
temperature, if other variables are eliminated. Theoretically it is pro
portional to the difference between the outdoor and indoor temperatures.
The American Gas Association * determined from experiment in the
heating of residences that the gas consumption varied directly as the dif
ference between 65 F and the mean outside temperature. In other words,
on a day when the temperature was 20 deg below 65 F, twice as much gas
was consumed as on a day when the temperature was 10 deg below 65 F.
For any one day, when the mean temperature is less than 65 F, there are
as many degree-days as there are degrees difference in temperature
between the mean temperature for the day and 65 F. Degree-days may
be calculated on other than the 65 F base but are seldom used and are of
little value except where the inside'temperature to be maintained as, for
example, in warehouses, differs greatly from the usual inside temperature
range of 68 F to 72 F.
.
The normal or average number of degree-days, on a 65 F basis, which have occurred over a long period of years, by months, oh a 65 F basis are given for various United States and Canadian and Newfoundland cities in Table 1. .The United States values were computed from daily mean temperatures recorded by the Weather Bureau over a 43-year period 4 from 1899 to 1941. The number of degree-days for a calendar day of a given year was obtained by taking the difference between 65 F and the mean temperature determined from a reading of the maximum and minimum thermometers for a particular locality. The daily normal was established by taking an average of the 43 daily degree-day figures. These daily values were then added to obtain a monthly normal, and the yearly or seasonal degree-day figure was established by taking a summation of
the monthly values. In general, attempts to apply the degree-day
Estimating Fuel Consumptionfor Space'Heating
379
method to fuel consumption over a period of less than a month are of
questionable value.
1
If the degree-days occurring each day are totaled for a reasonably long
period, the fuel consumption during that period as compared with another
period will be in direct proportion to the number of degree-days in the
two periods. Consequently, for a given installation, the fuel consumption
can be calculated in terms of fuel used per degree-day for any sufficiently
long, period and compared with similar ratios for other periods to deter
mine the relative operating efficiencies with the outside temperature
variable eliminated.
Studies made by the National District Heating Association5 of the
metered steam consumption of 163 buildings located in 22 different cities
and served with steam from a district heating company substantiate
the fact that the 65 F base originally chosen by the gas industry is approxi
mately correct.
.
Formula for Degree-Day Method
The general equation for calculating the probable fuel consumption by
the degree-day method is:
.
. F= UX NXD
(4)
where
'
F -- fuel consumption for the estimate period.
U = unit fuel consumption, or quantity of fuel used per (degree-day) {building
' load unit).
-
N = number of building load units (when available use calculated heat loss instead of actual amount of radiation installed).
D = number of degree-days for the estimate period. ,
.
Values of N depend on the particular building for which the estimate is
being prepared and must be found by surveying plans, by observation, or
by measurement of the building. Values of U for use in this equation are
the unit fuel consumptions per degree-day and are obtained as a result
of the collection of operating information. Certain of this information is
presented later but before referring to these data attention is directed to
the nature of the unit.
Unit Fuel Consumptions per Degree-Day
The quantity of fuel used per degree-day in a given heating plant can
be reduced to a unit basis in terms of quantity of fuel or steam per degree-
day per square foot of radiation, per cubic foot of heated building space, or per thousand Btu hourly heat loss at design conditions. A less fre
quently used basis is quantity of fuel per (degree-day) (square foot of floor
area).. In fact any convenient unit can be used to relate the consumption
to the degree-day and to the building. .
.
The choice of these units requires explanation and some discrimination
and judgment. If the volume basis is used, the net heated space is pref
erable to the gross building cubage since gross cubage includes outer
walls and certain portions of attic arid basement space which are usually unheated: In the absence of data on net heated volume a figure of
80 per cent of the gross volume may be used to obtain the estimated net
heated volume: Regardless of which volume figure is used, this unit
basis is not considered accurate-for estimating fuel consumption due to
differences in types of construction, exposure and ratio of exposed area
to cubic contents.

Computed from daily mean temperatures recorded by U. S. Weather Bureau over a 43-year period from 1899 to 1941. Data for Canadian cities abstracted from Heating 6* Ventilating, October. 1939. The National Joint Committee on Weather Statistics, in cooperation with the U. S. Weather Bureau, is pre paring revised Degree-Day Normals which will be available in 1946.
- bData for these cities and possibly other localities are based on readings taken at more than one official Weather Station during the 43-year period of analysis and are subject to local verification, as these figures are being examined for possible revision by the U. S. Weather Bureau.
The calculated heat loss or its equivalent square feet of calculated radiator surface may be used as the unit. The use of the unit equivalent direct radiation is of questionable value when referring to heat transfer surfaces used in warm air furnace or central air conditioning systems. Where steam or hot water radiation is already installed, care should be exercised in using the unit equivalent direct radiation basis for estimating since actual installed radiation may differ considerably from the exact radiation requirements. In view of all these considerations it is believed that the unit based on thousands of Btu of hourly calculated heat loss for the design hour is probably the most desirable, although the one most widely used seems to be units of fuel per degree-day per square foot of

Estimating Fuel Consumption for Space Heating

equivalent direct radiator surface. The equivalent heating load for the hot
water supply is not included in the latter unit, but it generally includes-
the piping load.
_
Since this unit is the one most widely used at present the unit fuel con
sumptions given in succeeding paragraphs of this chapter make use of this
unit to a considerable extent, although it should be understood that most
of these units of consumption can be transposed as desired.
.
Estimating Gas Consumption
Values of the Unit Fuel Consumption Constant (/) for gas are given in Table 2 for various gas heating values, and different types and sizes of heating plants. They are based on an inside design temperature of 70 F and an outside design temperature of 0 F and apply only to these con ditions. For other outside design conditions corrections must be made as given in Table 5.
The factors in Table 2, as corrected if necessary, are satisfactory for regions having 3500 to 6500 degrfee-days per heating season.- In regions with less than 3500 degree-days the unit gas consumption is higher than given; where over 6500, the unit is less than given. Ten per cent addition

The multipliers in Table 5. which are high for mild climates and low for cold regions are not in error as might appear. The unit figures in Tables 2,3. and 4 are per square foot of radiator or thousand Btu heat loss per degree-day. For equivalent buildings and heating seasons, those in warm climates have-lower
design heat losses and smaller radiator quantities than those in cold cities. Consequently, the unit figure, in quantity of fuel per square foot of radiator per degree-day, is larger for warm localities than for colder
regions. Since the northern cities have more radiator surface per given building and a higher seasonal degree-day total than cities in the south, the total fuel per season will be larger for the northern dty.
or deduction in these cases is recommended by A .G.A. publications. Esti mates for industrial buildings where low inside temperatures are main tained cannot be made from this table.
For gas heating values other than those given in Table 2, simply inter polate or extrapolate. It will also be noted that Table 2 applies only to small installations. In general the larger the installation the smaller the unit gas consumption becomes and the values in the table should be used with care, if at all, in large gas-buming installations.
Example 6. Estimate the gas required to heat a building located in Chicago, III.,
which has 6287 degree-days and a gas heating value of 800 Btu per cubic foot. The
calculated heating surface requirements are 1000 sq ft of hot . water radiation based on
design temperature of --10 F and 70 F.
`
Solution. From Table 2, the fuel consumption for a design temperature of 0 F with 800 Btu gas is found to be 0.085 cu ft of gas per degree-day per square foot of hot water radiation. From Table 5, the correction factor is 0.875 for --10 F outside design tem perature, hence 0.875 X 0.085 = 0.07438. By Equation 4,
F = 0.07438 X 1000 X 6287 = 467,000 cu ft.
Estimating Oil Consumption
'
. Unit fuel consumption factors for oil, similar to those for gas in Table 2, are given in Table 3. The factors in Table 3 apply only to an inside design temperature of 70 F and an outside design temperature of OF. For other outside design temperatures, the constants in Table 3 must be multiplied by the values in Table 5 as explained under Estimating Gas Consumption.
384
CHAPTER 20
1946 Guide
Values given in Table 3 assume the use of oil with a heating value of 140,000 Btu per gallon. For other heating values, multiply the values in Table 3 by the ratio of 140,000 divided by the heating value per gallon of fuel being used.
Example 6. Estimate the seasonal oil consumption of an oil-fired boiler in a building located in Minneapolis having a calculated heat loss of 192,000 Btu per hour, burning 144,000 Btu per gallon oil and operating at a seasonal efficiency of 60 per cent. The out side design temperature for Minneapolis is --20 F, and the inside design temperature is 70 F.
Solution. From Table 3, under 60 per cent efficiency and opposite the bottom column, the value of U is found to be 0.00476 gal per 1000 Btu hourly heat loss for 0 F outside temperature.
The correction factor for --20.F outside design temperature from Table 5 is 0.778. Solving, 0.778 X 0.00476 = 0.00370. Making a further correction for the heating value:
0.0037 X |44 qoq = 0.0036 gal per 1000 Btu per hour calculated heat loss per degree-
day.
From Table 1, the normal degree-days for Minneapolis is 7989. Since U is expressed in 1000 Btu, N is equal to 192. Substituting in Equation 4:
F = 0.0036 X 7989 X 192 = 5525 gal.
Estimating Coal or Coke Consumption
/
Coal or coke consumption estimates are made in exactly the same procedure as for oil. Values of U are given in Table 4 which only apply to inside design temperatures of 70 F and an outside design temperature of 0 F. A correction must be made for other conditions by use of the multi plying factors in Table 5. Data in Table 4 are based on 12,000 Btu per pound coal and for other heating values of coal they must be multiplied by the ratio of 12,000 divided by the heating value of fuel used.
_ Example 7. A building in Marquette, Mich., has an hourly heat loss at design con
ditions of 240,000 Btu per hour. Based on an inside design temperature of 70 F and an
outside design temperature of --20 F, what will be the estimated norpial seasonal coal
consumption for heating if 12,000 Btu per pound fuel is burned at a 50 per cent seasonal
efficiency, and what part of the total will be used during November, December, and
January?
.
Solution. From Table 4, U is 0.0666 lb of coal per 1000 Btu per hour heat loss. Cor recting for the outside design temperature of -- 20. F from Table 5, the value of V is 0.778 X 0.0666 - 0.0518. From Table 1, D is 8786 and from the problem, :Y is 240.
Substituting in Equation 4:
.
F = 0.0518 X 240 X 8786 = 109,200 lb.
Fuel used over any period is, according to the theory of the degree-day, proportional to the number of degree-days during the period. From Table 1, the average numbers of degree-days for November, December, and January in Marquette are 927, 1306, and 1471, a total of 3704. The yearly total is 8786, so that during these three months the estimated consumption is:
3|^7g0g4 X 109,200 = 46,200 lb.
Estimating Steam Consumption
.
In estimating steam consumption the efficiency is generally assumed at 100 per cent. If for low pressure steam an average heating value of 1000 Btu per pound of steam is used no correction is necessary. In com paring values from different cities, correction should be made for design temperature (see Table 5) when the unit figures are in terms of square feet of radiation but not when the values are in terms of building volume or floor space.
Estimating Fuel Consumption for Space Heating

F = pounds of steam required for estimate period. H = calculated heat loss, Btu per (hour) (degree difference). D -- number of degree days for the period of estimation. 1000 = Btu delivered per pound of steam condensed.
In this method the number of degree-days automatically takes care of average inside and outside temperature difference. When degree days are taken from Table 1, an average inside temperature of approximately 65 F is assumed throughout the period. If an average inside temperature other than approximately 65 F is to be used, the number of degree-days should be obtained for the new base.
Example 8. An eight story building in Pittsburgh maintains daytime temperatures of 70 F but allows night temperature to drop to not lower than 60 F. Its calculated heat loss is 10,500 Btu per (hour) (degree temperature difference). .What is the estimated average yearly steam consumption for building heating?
Solution. Since the average inside temperature is approximately 65 F, the degreedays from Table 1,-.based on 65 F may be used. Therefore, from Table 1, Pittsburgh has 5,466 degree-days per normal season. Inserting in Equation 5
10,509 X 24 X 5466 1,000
1,377,432 lb of steam.
Consideration has been given to the difference in steam utilization of different types of buildings and Table 6 shows actual average units for these various types. These figures were obtained from operating results in 896 buildings located in all sections of. the United States. Being averages, and for small groups in each type, the figures may need con siderable modification to allow for local variations. It should be especially noted that the steam used for heating hot water is not included in the
values given in Table 6.
Example 9. A store in Philadelphia with a heating system designed to maintain 70 F inside in 0 F weather has 250,000 cu ft of heated space. What would be the estimated . average yearly stcam consumption of purchased steam for heating?
Solution. According to Table 6, a store-would use 0.624 lb of steam per degree-day per 1000 cu ft heated space. From Table 1, Philadelphia has 4749 degree-days per normal year. Inserting in Equation 4:
F = 0.624 X 250 X 4749 = 740,000 lb of steam.
Degree-Day as an Operating Unit
. The degree day is also widely used as a means of comparing the efficiency of the fuel consumption of one period with another for the same building..- Since, the fuel, consumption is proportional to the weather (degree-days) and since the periods to be compared may not have the same weather conditions, the comparison can be made only after the fuel consumptions have been computed on a comparable weather basis, that is, upon the actual number of degree days occurring for a given month and year in the city under consideration. Since fuel consumption is proportional to the number of degree-days, plant operators frequently compute each month the fuel burned per degree-day by the heating plant. The resulting unit figure, by eliminating the outside temperature

variable, indicates whether the operating efficiency of the plant is above or below the previous month or year.
The figures in Table 7 illustrate a typical example of a method of using the degree-day for making heating comparisons for one building for - two consecutive heating seasons. The heat quantity figures inserted are pounds of steam, but a similar comparison could be made using pounds of coal, gallons of oil, or cubic feet of gas.
For such a comparison, a two-year record is often used, as shown in Table 7. The year under consideration may then be compared, month by month, with the previous year; Column 3, Consumption for Heating, would be used if the same fuel is used for heating and process steam. Some reasonable figure must be assumed for the'process requirement and should be deducted from the amount shown in column 2. This would leave in column 3 only the fuel chargeable to heating. The degree-day values in column 5 are obtainable from the local Weather Bureau. Figures in column 6 are obtained by dividing corresponding values in column 3 by the degree days in column 5. The heating index in column 6 is, then, a figure of heat consumption, corrected for outdoor temperature, and should be relatively constant month by month. Column 7 in Table 7 may be used if the heat consumption is to be compared on a building volume basis with average values shown in Table 6.

If. for example, the heat-consumption in March, 1943, is compared with that in March, 1944, it will be
found that in the latter the steam consumption is 1799 -- 176Q = 39 lb less which is a decrease of 2.2

be measured in several different ways. It may be taken as the instan taneous peak or as the rate of use during any specified interval. One method is to take the average of the three highest hours during the winter. These figures are available for a number of buildings in Detroit, as shown in Table 86.
These maximum demands were measured by an attachment on the condensation meter and therefore represent the. amounts of condensation passed through the meter in the highest hours, rather than the true rate at which steam is supplied. There might be slight differences in these two quantities due to time lag and to storage of condensate in the system, but wherever this has been investigated it has been found to be negligible.
The load factor of a building is the ratio of the average load to the maximum load and is an index of the utilization. Thus, in Table 8, the theaters, operating for short hours, have a load factor of 0.126 as compared with the figure of 0.318 for clubs and lodges.
SEASONAL EFFICIENCY
The task of predicting fuel consumption within reasonably accurate limits is a simple one where sufficient experience data are available for the fuel in question. Such data can be analyzed to the point where average unit factors can be determined and expressed in such terms as, for example, average gallons of oil actually burned per square , foot of calculated steam radiator surface per degree-day. The unit U can be inserted directly in Equation .2 without reference to efficiency. Such experience factors are available for gas (see Table 2). and for district steam (Table 6), but not for coal or oil.
Since values of U are not available for oil or coal; an assumed seasonal efficiency E must be used. Selection of a value for this E must be made

with caution, for its.use implies a meaning not commonly associated with the word efficiency and consequently is frequently misleading.
The input of heat to a building consists not only of the energy in the fuel but that from occupants, the sun, appliances, processes, and all other sources. In many cases these make up, over a period, an important percentage of the total heat required, and if they are not taken into account a calculation of efficiency can show a figure over 100 per cent.
For this and other reasons the actual seasonal efficiency is a difficult thing to determine. Published data are widely scattered and insufficient. From the available published material it is found that the seasonal effi ciency varies over a wide range, depending on the fuel used, and it varies widely even for a given fuel. For example, in a recent survey of 30 houses in one locality there was found a variation of from 45 to 75 per cent in the utilization efficiency depending on the fuel7.

CHAPTER 21
Warm Air Leaders, Stacks, and Registers; Return Air Ducts, Grilles, and Shoe Connections; Outline of Design Procedure
WARM air heating systems of the gravity type are described in this chapter l. In these systems the motive head producing flow depends upon the difference in weight between the heated air leaving the top of
the casing and the cooled air entering the bottom of the casing, while in
the mechanical type a fan may supply all or part of the motive head.
'
In general, a warm-air furnace heating plant consists of a fuel-burning
furnace or heater, enclosed in a casing of sheet metal, which is placed in the basement of the building. The heated air, taken from the top or sides near the top of the furnace casing, is distributed to the various rooms of
the building through sheet metal warm-air pipes. The warm-air pipes in the basement are known as leaders, and the vertical warm-air pipes which
'
are run in the inside partitions of the building are called stacks. The heated air is finally discharged into the rooms through registers which
are set in register boxes placed either in the floor or in the side wall,
usually at or near the baseboard. A sectional view of a typical plant showing good installation practice is given in Fig. 1.
The air supply to the furnace is usually taken entirely from inside the
building through one or more recirculating ducts, although in some cases
an outside air supply duct is provided.
WARM AIR LEADERS. STACKS, AND REGISTERS
' In a gravity circulating warm-air furnace system, the size of the leader pipe to a given room depends upon the length of the leader and the tem perature of the warm air entering the room at the register. For . most successful operation, the furnace should be centrally located with respect to register and stack positions so that the leaders will be of uniform length and as short as possible, in which case the frictional resistance to air flow and the temperature loss from the ducts will be about the same for all runs.
In the Standard Code for Installation of Gravity Warm Air Heating Systems, the design was originally based on the heat carrying capacities per square inch of leader pipe area with register air temperatures of 175 F. In a recent revision of the.entire design procedure, as shown in the section entitled Outline of Design Procedure, the carrying capacities of leader pipes have been expressed directly in terms of Btu per hour.
In general it is advisable to use two or more leader pipes to rooms requiring more than the capacity of a 12 in. round pipe. The tops of all sizes of leader pipes should be cut into the furnace bonnet at the same elevation, and from this point there should be a uniform upgrade of at least 1 in. per foot of run. Leaders over 12 ft in length, or having a large number of elbow fittings should be avoided if possible. In cases where such leaders are necessary, it is recommended that smooth transition fittings be used, and that duct insulation be applied. Asbestos paper, unless of the corrugated type, should not be considered as insulation. To assist in balancing the air distribution of the system, a damper should be placed in each leader pipe except one, this latter leader preferably . being connected to a room heated at all times, such as a living room.

CHAPTER 21
1946 Guide
In a gravity circulating system, the ratio of stack to leader area is . quite important, although little is gained by providing wall stacks with
areas in excess of 75 per cent of their connected leader pipe area. In most cases a 3J4 in- X 12 in. stack is the largest which can be installed in normal wall construction. Hence, any room having a heat loss much in excess of 9000 Btu per hour, will require two or more stacks, or one oversized stack built into a 6 in. studding space, providing the design register temperature is to be retained at the value of 175 F as recommended.

First story registers may be of the baseboard or floor type, with the former location preferred. High sidewall registers in gravity systems deliver more warm air into the room than do baseboard registers, but most of the additional air merely results in high temperatures at the ceiling.
return air ducts, grilles, and shoe connections
The ducts through which air is returned to the furnace should be designed to minimize resistance to air flow. They should be of ample area, in excess of the total area of warm-air pipes, and should be stream lined. Horizontal ducts should pitch at least in. per foot downward toward the furnace, avoiding fittings which would require lifting of the return air after the duct has passed under some obstacle.
The return air grilles should have free areas at least equal to the ducts to which they connect and should be installed in the floor, or in the base-

Registers used for discharging warm air into rooms should have a net area not less than the area of the leader pipe to which the register is attached., First story registers should be connected through boot and register box extensions having areas at least equal to leader areas. Upper story registers should be of the same width as the wall stack, and should be placed either in the baseboard or sidewall, preferably without offsets.

board with the top edge of the grille not more than about 14 in. above the floor line. Frictional resistance in the return air system is as detrimental as is resistance in the warm-air system, so that care should be exercised in locating return air grilles which require long return ducts.
The placement and number of return grilles will depend upon the size, details, and exposure of the house. Small compactly built houses may be adequately served by a single return grille effectively placed in the central hall. It is usually desirable to have two or more returns, provided that in two-story residences one return is placed to effectively receive the return air at the foot of the stairs. A return air connection must be carried to any room whose floor level is below that of adjacent rooms.
"Where a divided system of two or more returns is used, the grilles must be placed- to serve the maximum area of cold wall or windows. Thus, in rooms having only small windows the grille can be brought as close to the furnace as possible, but if the room has large window exposure the grille should be located near the exposure. The frictional resistance of the . long ducts used in parallel with short return ducts must be reduced to compensate for the length. Return ducts from upstairs rooms may be.

necessary in spaces which are closed off from the rest of the house or which have much outdoor exposure. Return grilles on different floor levels should not be connected to the same vertical return duct.
Ducts returning air to the furnace should avoid heat sources which tend to reheat the return air. If the duct must be run over the top of the furnace, or above the vent pipe from the furnace, insulation should be interposed between the heat source and the duct.
Circulation of air is facilitated if the air can slide down a pipe inclined at approximately 45 deg and into a furnace shoe connection having a cross-sectional area equal to that of the pipe. The top of the return shoe should enter the casing below the level of the grate in the case of a coal

OUTLINE OF DESIGN PROCEDURE
-
The data underlying the design procedure are given in detail in a circular2 issued by the University of Illinois. In this procedure the design of the warm-air duct system is considered as an entire unit, so that for a given heat loss the sizes of leaders, stacks, boots, stackheads, and registers are all correlated. Similarly in the case of return ducts, the selection specifies a complete unit consisting of return grille, return duct, and shoe connection.

The steps to be taken in designing a gravity warm air duct system are:
1. Calculate the heat loss from each room as explained in. Chapters 6, 8 and 14.
. 2. Prepare a layout showing (a) furnace, (6) chimney connection, (c) warm air
'registers (whether floor, baseboard or wall), (d) return air grilles.-
. 3. .Indicate on each warm air run (using symbols shown in Fig. 4): (a) whether the
room to be heated is on the. first or second story, (6) the approximate length of leader
' pipe in the basement, (c) the number of right angle elbows required-, including the elbow
at the boot connection (see Pig. 2), .(d) whether the register is to be located in the floor,
in the-baseboard, or in the wall.

Examples 1 and.2 will illustrate the use of the tables in selecting warm air and return system sizes.
Example 1. For a room which has a heat loss of 22,500 Btu per hour select the size of first story warm air system. There are three elbows and the leader is approximately. 10 ft long.
Solution: Since 22,500 Btu is beyond the capacities shown in Table 6, it is necessary to select two units of 11,250 each. From Table 6 in 10 ft leader column and in section for three elbows find 11,400 as nearest capacity which corresponds to Combination Num ber 4 in first column. Refer to Combination Number 4 in Table 1 and find that the leader should be 12,in. in diame ter and should-be used with a 12 x 14 in. floor register or a 13 x 11 in. baseboard register with a 5% in. extension.
Example 2. What is the size of a return system of Type D which is to service 35,000 Btu. per hour?
Solution: From Table 8 find Combination,Number 37 which will service 37,800 Btu per hour. Refer to Table 4 to find that
Combination Number 37 will require a 22-in. diameter duct, a shoe area of 420 sq in., a metal grille 18 x 30 in., a duct 42 x 10 in. or 36 x 12 in. If joist lining
is used the minimum depth x should be 15 in. for two 2-joist spaces 14 in. wide, or 10 in. for
three joist spaces.

IN mechanical warm air or fan. furnace heating systemsthe air circu lation is effected by motor-driven fans instead of by the difference in weight between the heated air leaving the top of the casing and the cooled air entering the bottom, as in gravity systems described in Chapter 21. The advantages of mechanical systems, as compared with gravity systems, are: . .
1. The furnace need not be centrally located but may be placed in any part of the .
basement.
.
'-
.
2. Basement distribution piping can be made smaller and can be so installed as to
give full head room in all parts of the. average basement, or be completely concealed
From view .where desired. '
-- 1
3. Circulation of air is positive, and in a properly designed system can be balanced in.
such a way as to give a greater uniformity of temperature distribution.
.
4. Humidity control is more readily attained.
'
5. The air may be cleaned by sprays or filters, or both. "
.
6. The fan and duct equipment may be utilized for a complete cooling and dehumidi-
fying system for summer, using either ice, mechanical refrigeration, or low temperature
water for cooling and dehumidifying, or adsorbers for dehumidifying.
'
7. The use of the fan increases the volume of air which can be handled, thereby , increasing the rate of heat extraction from a given amount of heating..surface and insuring sufficient air volume to obtain proper distribution in a large room.
8. Ventilation air may be positively introduced and heated.
The construction features of mechanical warm air furnace, units and discussions of the function and selection of the various parts, such as the furnace, casings, motors, filters and controls are included in.Chapter 18.
AIR DISTRIBUTION
The conditions of comfort obtained in a room are' greatly influenced by the type of register used and the locations of the supply registers and return grilles. In general it has been found that changes in the type, air velocity, and location of the supply register affect the room conditions much more than the changes in the location of the return grilles.' One method is to locate the supply register near the floor so that the warm air from the register blankets a cold wall, and mixes with the cold air dropping off from the exposed walls and glass.- Another method is to locate the supply openings near the floor on the inside wall and the return openings near the greatest, outside exposure. In any case-the warm air registers should be located so that the air stream never discharges directly into space that will normally be occupied by people at rest. Tests in the Warm Air Research Residence *. have' indicated that continuous fan operation provided better results than intermittent fan operation.

Residence have indicated that comparable results are obtainable with either high side wall or baseboard registers, if proper registers and air velocities are selected. Baseboard registers should be of a deflectingdiffuser type which throw the air downward toward the floor and diffuse it at the same time. For baseboard registers air temperatures under 125 F and air velocities over 500 fpm should be avoided as they may cause drafts.
High side wall registers must be of such type that the air is delivered horizontally or in a slightly downward direction, and must be so located as to avoid impingement of air on ceiling or wall. Directional flow diffusing type should be used to insure best results. Register air velocities

Fig. 2. Recommended Type of High SlDEWALL REGISTERS6
Vertical bars with adjustable deflection, or fixed vertical bars with deflections to right and left not
exceeding about 22 deg. For low sidewall location; the deflection for horizontal, multiple'valve, registers
should not exceed 22 deg. For baseboard locations, the deflection for horizontal,' multiple valve, registers
should not exceed about 10 deg.
.
^Horizontal valves, in back or front, to give downward deflections not to exceed from 15 to 32 deg;~
should be such that the air stream carries to the opposite exposure. Velocities under 500 fpm are not recommended. Basic rules for the location and selection of registers are given in Section C of the Code and Manual (Textbook Section 7) of the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association.
Registers should be well proportioned and decorated to harmonize with, the trim. Air supply registers'should be equipped with dampers and all registers should be sealed against leakage around edges. The register types shown in Figs. 1 and 2 have been recommended as standard by the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association.
Velocities through registers may be reduced by the use of registers
larger than the connecting ducts. Diffusers should be used to spread the
air uniformly over the register face.
- '.
-
Return air grilles may be located in hallways, near entrance doors, ' under windows, in exposed corners, or inside walls, depending on location of supply registers. Baseboard returns are preferable to floor grilles.
--Dampers
-
Suitable dampers for air direction or volume control are essential to any trunk or individual duct system. Special care must be used in the design .
Mechanical Warm Air Systems

of any system to avoid turbulence and to minimize resistance. Sharp elbows, angles, and offsets should be avoided. Three types of dampers are commonly used. Volume dampers are used to completely cut off or reduce the flow through pipes. Splitter dampers are used where a branch is taken off from a main trunk. Squeeze dampers are Used for adjusting the volume of air flow and resistance through a given duct. It is essential that a damper with positive locking device be provided for each main or duct branch. Labels placed on ducts should indicate the room being served. Damper positions should be marked for summer and winter operation, and to avoid tampering.
Ducts
The ducts may be either round or rectangular in cross section. The radii of elbows should preferably be not less than one and one-half times the pipe diameter for round pipes, or the equivalent round pipe size in the case of rectangular ducts. Warm air ducts'passing through cold spaces, or where located in exposed walls, should have to 2 in. of insulation.
Special attention should be given to the problem of noise elimination. The metal duct connection to and from the furnace casing and fan housing should be broken by strips of canvas. Motors and mountings must be carefully selected for quiet operation. Electrical conduit and water piping must not be fastened to, nor make contact with fan housing. Installation of a fan directly under a cold air grille is usually not recommended.
STANDARD COMBINATIONS OF PARTS
The combinations of parts selected as a standard by the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association are shown in Tables 1 and 2. A method for selecting these combinations is indicated in the section entitled Simplified Method of Designing Domestic Forced-Air Systems.
AUTOMATIC CONTROLS
Air stratification, high bonnet temperatures, excessive flue gas tem peratures, and. heat overrun or lag in a properly designed system can be largely eliminated through proper care in the planning and installation of the control system8.
Controls which are considered desirable for this system are:
1. A thermostat located in a living room where maximum fluctuation in temperature can be expected, in order to secure frequent operation of fans, drafts, and burners. The thermostat location should not be on an outside wall, in a bed room, bath room or sun room, or in a location where it will be affected by direct radiant heat from the sun or from a fireplace, or by direct heat from any warm air duct, register or chimney.
2. A fan switch control located in the bonnet to start blower operations at tempera tures between 110 and 130 F, and to stop the blower at about 25 to 30 F below the cut-in point. The lower settings are used for high side wall register installations, and the higher settings for baseboard register installations. For most satisfactory results these settings should be as low as is feasible.,
3. A protective high limit switch located in the bonnet to stop the system independently
of the thermostat if the bonnet-temperature exceeds 175 F.
7
4. On oil and gas burner installations, a protective control should be included which will stop the system if the fire is extinguished or if there is a failure of the ignition system.
5. On automatic stoker installations, a control is usually included which will start
the operation regardless of thermostat settings whenever the bonnet temperature
indicates that the fire is dying, or a time interval contactor is used that will start the
stoker to run a few minutes out of each hour.
. ...
6. A humidistal to regulate the moisture supplied to the rooms, located either in one of the rooms or in the main return duct near the furnace. .

*Use these items only when the building construction or capacity requirements necessitate the use of floor registers. The sizes listed for floor registers correspond to the standard sizes for gravity warm-air
systems, except for the sizes of the floor box collars. The use of standard blind boxes is suggested.
SIMPLIFIED METHOD OF DESIGNING DOMESTIC FORCED-AIR SYSTEMS
A simplified method for selecting, the combinations of branches, boots, stacks, and registers, is given in the Code and Manual (Textbook.section No., 7) of the National Warm Air Heating and. Air Conditioning Associa tion. In this method the sizes of the branch ducts are obtained from two tables giving their Btu-capacities. The proper combination of parts for each branch can be determined if the following information is available.
a. Location of room, that is, whether on first or second story.'
_" ,
b. Actual length of basement duct from bonnet to boot>in feet.
c. Btu loss from room to.be heated. . .
=.
.
d. Equivalent lengths in feet Of all fittings and of the register. Fig. 3 shows the values of equivalent lengths of fittings ^commonly, used for domestic systems.
This simplified method is applicable to structures having heat losses
not in excess of approximately 150,000 Btu per hour. The capacities
shown in Tables 3 and 4 are based upon the most reliable, data'pertaining '

upon a 100 deg temperature rise of the air, and a static pressure available
for overcoming friction losses in the external duct system alone of 0:20 in.

furnace assembly will be capable not only of overcoming the resistance of'
the external duct system alone, but also the resistances imposed, by the

Tables 3 and 4 are also applicable for the selection of the return air
branches. A depth of 8 in. has been adopted .as the standard for the

obtained by the use of an air washer where the temperature of the city or well, water is sufficiently low (55 F or lower), and where a sufficient volume of water can be provided. Unless the temperature of the leaving water is below the dew-point temperature of the indoor air at the time the washer is started, both the relative and absolute humidities will be somewhat increased.
' Coils of copper finned tubing through which-cold water is pumped are
available for cooling. They require less space than air washers and have
the advantage that no moisture is added to the air when the temperature
' of the water rises above the dew-point. Ample coil surface and fan
capacity are necessary with'this type of cooling. . .

provided the building is reasonably, well constructed and insulated. Windows and doors should be tight, and awnings should be supplied on the sunny side of the building. (See also Chapters 38, 39 and 43.)
Conclusions drawn from studies4 conducted in the University of Illinois Research Residence, subject to the limitations of the test are:
,1. An uninsulated building of ordinary residential type may require the equivalent of three tons of ice in 24 hr on days when the maximum outdoor temperature-reaches 100 F if an effective temperature of approximately 72 deg is maintained indoors.
2. The use of awnings at all windows in east, south, and west exposures may result in
savings of from 20 to 30 per cent in the required cooling load.
.
. 3. The cooling load per degree difference in temperature is not constant but increases as the outdoor temperature increases.

' 4. The heat lag of the building complicates the estimation of the cooling load under
any specified conditions and makes such estimates, based on the usual methods of
computation, of doubtful value.
.
5. The seasonal cooling requirements are extremely variable from year to year, and
the ratio between the degree-hours of any two seasons occurring within a 10-year period
may be as high as 7.5 to 1. Hence an average value of the degree-hours cooling per
season is comparatively meaningless.
.
6. The duct system in a forced-air heating installation can be successfully converted to a system for conveying cool air for the purpose of cooling the structure. 'No conden sation of moisture was observed when the duct temperatures were not less than 65 F.
7. Cooling by means of water at a temperature of 60 F is not satisfactory unless an indoor temperature of less than 80 F is maintained.
8. In the selection of cooling coils, the additional frictional resistance of the coil to
flow of air must be given consideration.
_
. 9* Cooling the structure by introducing large quantities of air from outdoors at night
tended to reduce the amount of cooling required on the following day and was a practical
means of providing more comfortable conditions in those homes where cooling systems
were not available.
' .'
METHOD OF DESIGNING COOLING SYSTEM
The general procedure which may be used for the design of a summer
cpoling system in a forced-air installation is:
'
' -/
.
1. Calculate heat gain for each room or space to be conditioned. (See Chapters 6
and 15.) Allowance for addition of outside air must be included in this calculation.
2. Select a temperature of air leaving supply inlets. In Research Residence tests
a value of from 65 to 70 F was found satisfactory.
3. Determine indoor conditions to be maintained. In Research Residence 80 F drybulb and 45 per cent relative humidity were found satisfactory.
4. Determine the quantity of air to be introduced into each room. (See Chapter 43.)
5. Estimate heat loss in duct system between cooling unit and supply registers.
6. Calculate the sensible and latent heat to be removed by the cooling unit.
7. Determine size of ducts in duct system and size of registers, as explained in Chap ters'40 and 41.
8. Determine pressure loss in duct system and select fan as also explained in the same section.
. 9. Select cooling unit from manufacturer's data. Specify temperature and pressure,
of available cooling water, voltage and characteristics of electrical supply, and method
of control of apparatus.
.
. -
' 10. Select cooling coils from manufacturer's data to take care of latent heat load and . to give required drop in air temperature with the weight of air flowing. (See Chapter 7.)
II. If system is to be used for both winter heating and summer cooling, duct sizes
must be checked to insure that velocities and friction losses are reasonable for both
conditions of operation.. Adjustable dampers will be necessary to make changes in air
- distribution for the two seasons. Provision must also be made for changing fan speeds
for summer and winter operation.

In all heating systems, the condensation is returned to the boiler either , by gravity or by mechanical means. In gravity systems the condensate is returned by gravity due to the static head of water in the return pipes or mains. The elevation of the boiler water line must be sufficiently below the lowest heating unit, steam pipe or dry return pipe to permit the return by gravity. The water line difference forming the static head must be sufficient to overcome the maximum pressure drop in the system, including the pressure drop due to the condensing effect of the radiation. When radiator and drip traps are used, as in two-pipe vapor systems, the static head must also exceed the operating pressure of the boiler. The pressure drop caused by condensing rate of the radiation is especially important during those portions of the operating periods, when changing pressure conditions prevail, as for example, when the system is being initially filled with steam. In systems where the condensate is wasted, to the sewer, no water line difference is required. However, the waste of condensate may introduce conditions which warrant the use of an appropriate mechanical return system. Whenever the conditions of a heating system are such that the condensate cannot gravitate to the boiler, it must be returned by some mechanical means.
In mechanical systems the condensate flows to a receiver by gravity and
is then forced into the boiler against its pressure. In all instances the
preferable practice is to provide for gravity flow even when .a vacuum
pump is used. The lowest parts of the supply side of the system must be
kept sufficiently above the water line of the receiver to insure adequate
drainage of water from the system.
._
There are three general types of mechanical return devices in common use, namely, (1) the mechanical return trap, (2) the condensation return ' pump, and (3) the vacuum return line pump.
PIPING FOR STEAM HEATING SYSTEMS
,
The functions of the piping system are the distribution of the steam, the return of the condensate and, in systems where no local air vents are provided, the removal of the air. The distribution of the steam should be rapid, uniform and without noise, and the release of air should be facili tated as much as possible, as an air bound system will not heat readily nor properly. In designing the piping arrangement it is desirable to. maintain equivalent resistances in the supply and return piping to and

from a radiator. Arranging the piping so the total distance from the boiler to the radiation is the same as the return piping distance from theheating unit back to the boiler tends to obtain such a result. The condensation which occurs in steam piping as well as in radiators must be drained to prevent impeding the ready flow of the steam and air. The effect of back pressure in the returns and excessive revaporization, such as occurs where condensation is released from pressures considerably higher than the vacuum or pressure in the return, must be avoided.
It is important that steam piping systems distribute steam not only at full design load but during excess and partial loads. Usually the average winter steam demand is less than half of the demand at the design outside temperature. Moreover, in rapidly warming up a system even in moder ate weather, the load on the steam main and returns may exceed the maximum operating load for severe weather due to the necessity of raising the temperature of the metal in the system to the steam temperature and the building to the design indoor temperature. Investigations of the
return of condensation have revealed that as high as .143 per cent of the design condensation rate may exist under conditions of actual operation.
. The piping design of a heating system is greatly, influenced by its
operating characteristics. Heating systems do not operate under constant
conditions as they are'continually changing due t(^ variation in load. As
the system is being filled with steam the pressures'existing in various
-locations may be different from those which exist for appreciable periods '
at other locations although at equilibrium conditions the pressures are
approximately the same. In designing piping it is of especial importance
, . to arrange the system to preclude trouble caused by such pressure' dif
ferences. The systems which readily release the air permit uniform
pressures to be attained in;much shorter time intervals than those which
are sluggish. Results are given in Fig. 1 from investigations1 to deter
mine the rate Of condensate and air return from a two-pipe gravity heating
system. Variations'in the steam pressure during the warming-up period
. when the rate of air elimination and condensation is high are clearly'
indicated in these curves.
' '
-
It is evident that the condensation flow during the initial warming-up - period reaches a peak' which1 is greater than the-constant condensation . - rate eventually reached when the pressure becomes uniformr Moreover,.
Steam- Heating Systems and Piping
411
the peak condensation rate is obtained when the system steam pressure is'
lower than that existing'during a period of constant condensing rate. It
will also be noted that .the peak rate of air elimination does not coincide
with the higher condensing rate.

STEAM FLOW
^
The rate of flow of dry steam or steam with a small amount of water flowing in the same direction is in accordance with the general laws of gas flow and is a function of the length and diameter of the pipe, the density of the steam, and the .pressure drop through the pipe. This relationship has been established by Babcock in the formula given at the top of Table 1. In Columns 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this table, the numerical values of the factors for different pressure losses, pipe diameters, steam-densities and lengths of pipe have been worked out in convenient form so that the steam flowing in any pipe may be calculated by multiplying together the proper factors in each column as shown in the example at the bottom of the table.
PIPE SIZES
The determination of pipe sizes for a given load in steam heating depends on the following principal factors:
1. Theinitial pressure and the total pressure drop which may be allowed between the source of supply and the end of the return system.
2. The maximum velocity of steam allowable for quiet and dependable operation of
the system, taking into consideration the direction of condensate flow.
*
3. The equivalent length of the run from the boiler or source of steam supply, to the
farthest heating unit.
.
. -
4. The direction of flow of the condensate, whether against or with the steam.
Initial Pressure and Pressure Drop
-
Theoretically there are several factors to be considered,.such as initial pressure and pressure required at the end of the line, but it is most import ant that: (1) the total pressure drop does,not exceed the initial gage pressure of the system and in actual practice it should never exceed one- half of the initial gage pressure'; (2) the pressure drop is not so great as to cause excessive velocities; (3)-there is a constant initial pressure, except on systems specially designed for varying initial pressures, such as the sub-atmospheric, which normally operate under controlled partial vacua, and orifice and vapor systems which at times operate under such partial vacua as may be obtained due to the condition of the.fire; and (4) the equivalent head due to pressure drop does not exceed the difference in level, for gravity return systems; between the lowest point on the steam main, the heating units, or the dry return, and the boiler water line.
All systems should be designed for a low initial pressure and a reason ably small pressure drop for two reasons: first, the. present tendency in steam heating unmistakably points toward a constant lowering of pres sures even to those below atmospheric; second, a system designed in this manner will operate, under higher pressures without difficulty. When a system designed for a relatively high initial pressure, and a relatively high pressure drop is operated at a lower pressure, it is likely to be noisy and
have poor circulation.
'
...
The total pressure drop should never exceed one-half of the initial gage pressure when condensate is flowing in the same direction' as the steam. Where the condensate must flow counter to the steam, the governing

.
Maximum Velocity
.
The capacity of a steam pipe in any part of a steam system depends upon the quantity of condensation present, the direction in which the condensate is flowing, and the pressure drop in the pipe. Where the quantity of condensate is limited and is flowing in the same direction as the steam,, only the pressure drop need be considered. When the con densate must flow against the steam, even in limited quantity, the ve locity of the steam must not exceed limits above which the disturbance between the steam and the counter-flowing water may produce object-' ionable sounds, such as water hammer, or may. result in the retention of

water in certain parts of the system until the steam flow is reduced
sufficiently to permit the water to pass. The velocity at which such
disturbances take place is a function of (1) the pipe size, whether the pipe
runs horizontally or vertically, (2) the pitch of the pipe if it runs hori
zontally, (3) the quantity of condensate flowing against the steam, and
(4) freedom of the piping from water pockets which under certain con
ditions acLas a restriction in pipe size.
,
Reaming Important
Three factors of uncertainty always exist in determining the capacity of any steam pipe. The first is.variation in manufacture, which appar ently cannot be avoided. The second is the .care used in reaming the ends of the pipe after cutting.' The effect of both of these factors increases as the pipe size decreases. According to A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory tests, either of these-factors may affect the capacity of a 1-in. pipe as much as ' 20 per cent. The third factor is the uniformity in grading the pipe line.

All of the capacity tables given in' this chapter include a-factor of safety. However, the factor of safety referred to does not cover abnormal'defects or constrictions nor does it cover pipe not properly reamed.
' Equivalent Length of Run
..
All tables for the flow of steam in pipes, based on pressure drop, must allow for the friction offered by the pipe as well as for the additional resistance of the fittings and valves. These resistances generally are stated in terms of straight pipe; in other words, a certain fitting will produce a drop in pressure equivalent to so.many feet of straight run of

usually allowed for the more common types of fittings and valves. In all
pipe sizing tables in this chapter the length of run refers to the equivalent
length of run as distinguished from the actual length of pipe in -feet. The
length of fun is not usually known at the outset;" hence it may be necessary
to assume some pipe size at the start. Such an assumption frequently is
considerably in error and a more common and practical method is to
assume the length of run and to check this assumption after the pipes are'
sized. For this purpose the length of run usually is taken as double the
actual'length qf pipe.

drops in pressure per 100 ft of equivalent length of run. The pipe is assumed to be well reamed and without unusual or noticeable defects.
Table 4 may be used for sizing piping for steam heating systems by '
pre-determining the allowable or desired pressure drop per 100 equivalent
; feet of run and reading from the column for that particular pressure drop.
This applies to all steam mains on both one-pipe and two-pipe systems,
vapor systems, and vacuum systems. Columns B to G, inclusive, are used
where the steam and condensation flow in the same direction, while
Columns H and I are for cases where the steam and condensation flow in
opposite directions, as in risers and runouts that are not dripped. Columns
J, K, and L are for one-pipe systems and cover riser, radiator valve and
vertical connection sizes, and radiator and runout sizes, all of which are ,
based on the critical velocities of the steam to permit the counter flow of
condensation without noise.
.
. Return piping may be sized with the aid of Tables 5 and 6 where pipe capacities for wet, dry, and vacuum return lines are shown for the pres sure drops per 100 ft corresponding to the drops in Table 4. It is cus tomary to use the same pressure drop on both the steam and return sides of .a system,
. Example 2. What pressure drop should be used for- the steam piping of a system if
the measured length of the longest run is 500 ft and the initial pressure is not to -be over
2-psi gage?
. .,
.
Solution.; It will be assumed, if the measured length of the longest run is 500 ft, that
-when the allowance for fittings is added the equivalent length of run will not exceed
1,000 ft. Then, with the pressure drop, not oyer one half of the initial pressure, the drop
could be 1 psi or less. With a pressure drop of 1 psi and a length of run of 1,000 ft, the*
drop per 100 ft would be Ho psi, while if the total drop were 2 psi, the drop per 100 ft
. would be Ho psi. In the first instance the pipe could be sized according to Column D for
^6 psi per 100 ft, and in the second case, the pipe could be sized according to Column C
for H4 psi- 0 completion of the sizing, the drop could be checked by taking the longest
line and actually calculating the equivalent length of run from the pipe sizes determined.
If the calculated drop is less than that assumed, the pipe size is all right; if it is more, it is
-probable that there are an unusual number of fittings involved, and either the lines must
be straightened or the column for the next lower drop must be used and the lines resized.
Ordinarily resizing will be unnecessary.

. PIPE SIZING FOR INDIRECT HEATING UNITS
Pipe connections and mains for indirect heating units are sized in a
manner similar to radiators, but the equivalent direct radiation must be
ascertained for each row of heating unit stacks and then must be divided
into the number of stacks constituting that row and into the number of
connections to each stack. '

The pipe sizes would then be based on the length of the run and the pressure drop
desired, as in the case of radiators. It generally is considered desirable to place the in
direct heating units on a separate system and not on supply or return lines connected to
the general heating system.

Most manufacturers of heating coils how publish condensing capacities of their coils
for all common operating conditions in pounds of steam per hour per square foot of face,
area (or free area for some designs). These rates may be used in connection with Tables
4 and 6 to size the piping.

GRAVITY ONE-PIPE AIR-VENT SYSTEM
. This system is the most common of all methods of steam heating, .
especially for small size installations, due largely to its low cost and
simplicity.
The downward pitch of a one-pipe air-vent system is indicated in Fig. 2. ' Low points and ends of steam mains pitched down from the boiler should be dripped. All drips should be sealed below water line before connecting together^ In the risers and radiator connections, steam and condensation flow in opposite directions. In long steam mains it flows in the same direction as the steam arid is removed from the main through the drip. Short mains may'be arranged for the condensate to flow in a direction opposite the steam by sizing them so the critical velocity is not . exceeded. It is customary to drip the heel of each riser in buildings of several stories to avoid counter-flow of the steam and condensate in the ' riser, runout. In buildings of one or two stories the condensate is returned to the steam main instead of being dripped. Both types of risers are shown in Fig. 2, and riser connections are shown in Figs. 3 and 4. A . typical overhead down-feed system' is illustrated in Fig. 5. While wet-
420 _________________ -CHAPTER 23 ,1946 Guide
return mains need not be pitched toward the boiler to maintain steam
circulation, they should be pitched for drainage.
.
To improve steam circulation in one-pipe systems quick vent air valves
should be provided at the ends and at intermediate points where the
steam main is brought to a higher elevation. It is desirable to install the
air-vent valves about a foot ahead of the drips, as indicated in Fig. 2,
to prevent possible damage to their mechanisms by water.
The radiator valves may be the angle-globe, offset-corner pattern or gate type. Straight-globe and straight-comer types should not be used ' since the raised valve seat would interfere with the flow of condensation through the valve. Graduated valves cannot be used since the steam valves on this system must be fully open or fully closed to prevent the radiators filling with water and creating a dangerous water line condition.
With a one-pipe system the heat cannot be modulated at the radiator,
the steam being either all on or all off. Systems and devices are available
which make it possible to obtain a partial modulating effect from one-pipe
heating systems.
,.
, It is important to keep the lowest points of the steam mains and heating
units sufficiently above the water line of the boiler to prevent flooding;
The minimum water line difference depends on the initial steam pressure
and piping pressure drop plus a safety factor for heating up.
.
Referring to Fig. 6 it will be noted that the boiler, and wet return form a U-shaped container, with the boiler steam-pressure on the top of the water at one end and the steam main pressure on the top of the water at the other end. .The difference between these'two pressures is the pressure drop in the system,'i.e., the friction and resistance to the flow of steam in passing from the boiler to the far end of the main and the pressure re duction in consequence of the condensation occurring in the system.-
Steam Heating Systems and Piping
421
The water in the far end will rise sufficiently to overcome this difference in order to balance the pressures, and it will rise far enough to produce a ' flow through the return pipe and overcome the.resistance of check valves if installed.
If a one-pipe steam system is designed, for example, for a total pressure drop of )4 psi, and utilizes a Hartford return connection instead of a', check valve on the return, the rise in the water level at the far end of the return due to the difference in steam pressure would be )4 of 28 in.

retical sizes, however, should be modified by not using a wet return less than 2 in. while

ONE-PIPE VAPOR SYSTEM
The one-pipe vapor system operates under pressures at or near atmos pheric and returns its condensation to the. boiler by gravity. In this
! Fig. 8. Typical Up-FeedSvstem with AutomaticReturn Trap* Proper piping connections are essential with special appliances for pressure equalizing and air elimination.

system the automatic air valves are of special design to permit the ready
release of air and prevent its ready return after it is expelled. The steam
radiator valves are a type which, when opened, give a free and unob
structed passageway for water. The piping is the same as for the one-pipe
gravity system but sized so as to permit operation at a few ounces
pressure.
.
TWO-PIPE VAPOR SYSTEM
.
A two-pipe up-feed vapor, system using separate supply and return pipes is shown in Fig. 8. The radiators discharge their condensation through thermostatic traps to the dry return pipe. These systems operate at a few ounces pressure and above, but those with mechanical condensate return devices may operate at pressures upward of 10 psi. The simplest

which is usually located with the bottom abo'ut 18 in. above the boiler water line.' Some traps are constructed so that they will operate.when they are installed with their bottom as close as 8 in. above the boiler.water line. On the other side of this connection a second check valve is installed in the main return just before it enters the boiler. Fig. 9 shows a typical connection for an automatic return trap. ''
Down-Feed Two-Pipe Vapor System
In the down-feed two-pipe vapor system the steam is carried to the top
of the building, the top of the vertical riser constituting the high point of
the system, and the horizontal supply main is sloped down from this
location to the far ends of each branch. The runouts are taken off the
main from the bottom or at a 45-deg angle downward, and sloped toward
the drops. Thus each runout from the main forms a drip and no accu
mulation of water is carried down any one drop.
'
Fig. 9. Typical Connections for Automatic Return Trap
method of venting the system consists of a %-in. pipe with a check valve
opening outward. Most systems employ various forms of vent valves,
designed to allow the air to readily pass out df the system and to prevent
. its return. These systems permit control of the heat in the radiator by
varying the opening of the graduated radiator valves. The' boiler pressure
is maintained at substantially constant pressure, slightly above atmos
pheric pressure.
,
These systems may be classified as (1) closed systems, consisting of those which have a device to prevent the return of air after it has once been expelled from the system, and which can operate at both super and subatmospheric pressures for a period of four to eight hours depending upon the tightness of the system and rate of firing, and (2) open systems, com prising those which have the return line constantly open to thg atmos phere without a check or other means to prevent the return of air. The open systems are not so popular because they have the disadvantage of not holding heat when the rate of steam generation is diminishing.
Closed systems should preferably be equipped with an automatic return . trap to prevent water from backing out of the. boiler. In installing the
return trap a check valve is inserted in the return main at a point near the boiler and a vertical pipe is run up into the bottom of the return trap,
Fig. 10. Detail of Drip Connections at Bottom of Down-Feed Steam Drop
The steamdrops are carried down through the building with suitable reductions as the various radiator connections are taken off until the lowest radiator runout is reached. If the,drop is only two or three stories high, the portion feeding the bottom radiator should be increased one pipe size to provide for draining the riser, and if the drop is over three stories high it is well to increase the portion feeding the two lowest radi ators one or two pipe sizes, especially if the two lowest radiators are small and the normal size of drop required is 1 in. or less. The bottom of each steam drop should terminate with a dirt pocket and be dripped as shown in Fig. 10. The returns on a down-feed vapor system are the same as on an up-feed system. The runouts to the radiators and the radiator con nections of die down-feed system are the same as those for the up-feed system already described. . .
While many manufacturers of patented vapor heating accessories have their own schedules for pipe sizing, an inspection of these sizing tables indicates that in general as small a drop as possible is recommended. The reasons for. this are: (1) to have the condensation return to the boiler by gravity, (2) to obtain a more uniform distribution of steam throughout the system, especially when it is desirable to carry a moderate or low
426
CHAPTER 23
1946 Guide
fire, and (3) because with large variations in pressure the value of gradu
ated valves on radiators is destroyed.
For small vapor systems where the equivalent length, of run does not exceed 200 ft, it is recommended that the niain and any runouts to risers that may be dripped should be sized from Column D, Table 4, while riser runouts not dripped and radiator runouts should employ Column I. The up-feed steam risers should be taken from Column H. On the returns, the risers should be sized from Tables 5 and 6, Column U, (lower portion) and the mains from Column U (upper portion). It should again be noted that the pressure drop in the steam side of the system is kept the same as on the return side except where the flow in the riser is concerned.
On a down-feed system the, main vertical riser should be sized from Column H, but the down-feed risers can be taken from Column D al though it so happens that the values in Columns T? and H for small systems correspond. This will not hold true in larger systems.
For vapor systems over 200 ft of equivalent length, the drop should notexceed;}^ psi to M psi, impossible. Thus, for a 400 ft equivalent run the drop per 100 ft should be not over J^psi divided by 4, or Hi psi. ; In this case the steam mains would be sized from Column B, the radiator and ' undripped riser runouts from Column I; the risers from Column B, because Column H gives a drop in excess of psi. On a down-feed system, Column B would have to be used, for both the main riser and'the smaller risers feeding the radiators in order not to increase the drop over ; % psi. The return risers would be sized from the lower portion of Column O and the dry return main, from the upper portion, of the same column, while any wet returns would be sized from Column N. The same pressure ., drop is applied on both the steam and the return sides of the system.

Notes on Vapor Systems
1. Pitch of mains should not be less than 14 in. in 10 ft.
2. Pitch of horizontal runouts to risers and radiators should not be less than 14 in.
in 10 ft. Where this pitch cannot be obtained runouts over 8 ft in length should be one
size larger than called for in the table.
.
,`
3. In general it is not desirable to have a supply main smaller than 2 in.
4. When necessary, supply main, supply risers, or runouts to supply risers should be . dripped separately into a wet return, or may be connected into the dry return through a thermostatic drip trap.
VACUUM SYSTEMS
In the vacuum system, a vacuum is maintained in the return line
practically at all times. The pump is usually controlled by a vacuum
regulator which operates the pump to maintain the vacuum within limits
and operates in response to a pressure difference between the atmosphere
and the return to control the vacuum in the return main. The source of
steam supply may be a low pressure boiler as shown in Fig. 11, or a high
pressure line through a pressure reducing valve. The piping and other
details are the same as for the vapor systems. ,
.
The return risers are connected in the basement into a common return
main which slopes downward toward the vacuum pump. The vacuum
pump withdraws the air and water from the system, separates the air
from the water and expells it to atmosphere and pumps the water back to
the boiler, or other receiver, which may be a feed-water heater or hot
well. It is essential that no connection be made from the supply side to
the return side at any point except through a trap. The desirable practice
demands a return flowing to the vacuum pump by an uninterrupted down
ward slope. In some instances local conditions make it necessary to.drop
the return below the level of the vacuum pump inlet, before the pump can
be reached. In such an event one of the advantages of the vacuum
system is the ability to raise the condensate to.a considerable height by the
suction of the vacuum pump by means of a lift connection or fitting
inserted in the return: The height the condensate can be raised depends
on the amount of vacuum maintained. It is preferable to limit lift con
nections to a single lift at the vacuum pump. A still more preferable
arrangement_is the use of an accumulator tank, or receiver tank, with a
float control for the pump, at the low point of the return main located
adjacent to the vacuum pump.
.
When the-vertical lift is considerable, several lift fittings should be used in steps as shown in Fig. 12. This permits a given lift to be secured with a somewhat lower vacuum than where the vertical distance is served by a single lift. Where several lifts are present in a given system at different locations, the lifting cannot occur until the entire system is filled with steam: A lift connection for location close to the pump, where the size may be above the commercial stock sizes, is shown in Fig. 13. It is desirable that means be provided for manually draining the low point of the lift fittings to eliminate danger of freezing.
Down-Feed Vacuum System
.
`
The piping arrangement for the down-feed vacuum system is similar on the supply side to the down-feed vapor system in that it has similar runouts, radiator valves, drips on the bottom of the steam drops, and enlargement of the drops for the lower radiator connection's. The return
428
CHAPTER 23
1946 Guide
side of the system is exactly the same as the up-feed system except that the steam riser drips at the bottom are connected into the return line through thermostatic traps. It is preferable to take the runouts 'for the risers from the bottom or at a 45-deg angle down from the steam main so that they may serve as steam main drips. When this is done it is practical to run the steam main level, if a runout is located at every change in pipe size, or if eccentric fittings are used (Fig. 14). A slight pitch in the steam main, however, should be used when possible. An overhead vacuum down-feed system is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 15.
Vacuum, atmospheric, sub-atmospheric and orifice systems are usually employed in large installations and have total drops varying from to Yl psi. Systems where the maximum equivalent length does not exceed 200 ft preferably employ the smaller pressure drop, while systems over 200 ft equivalent length of run more frequently are designed for the higher drop, owing to the relatively greater saving in pipe sizes. For example, a system with 1200 ft longest equivalent length of run would employ a drop per 100 ft of Yi psi divided by 12, or )4t psi. In this case, the steam main would be sized from Column C, Table 4, and the risers also from Column

4. In general it is not considered desirable to have a supply main smaller than-2 in.
5. When necessary, the supply main, supply riser, or runout to a supply riser should be dripped separately through a trap into the vacuum return. A connection should not be made between the steam and return sides of a vacuum system without interposing a trap to prevent the steam from entering the return line.
6. Lifts should be avoided if possible, but when they cannot be eliminated they
should be made in the manner described in this chapter.

systems the lift must be at the vacuum pump.

output from the radiators. The radiator heat emission is controlled by varying the pressure, temperature and specific volume of steam in circu lation. These systems differ from the ordinary vacuum system in that they maintain a controllable partial vacuum on both the supply and return sides of the system, instead of only on the return side. In the. vacuum system, steam pressure above that of the atmosphere exists in the supply mains and radiators practically at all times. In the subatmospheric system, atmospheric pressure or higher exists in the steam supply piping and radiators only during severe weather. Under average winter temperature the steam is under partial vacuum which in mild weather may reach as high as 25 in. Hg, after which further reduction in heat output is obtained by restricting the quantity of steam.
430 ;-_________________CHAPTER 23
________ 1946 Guide
' The rate of steam supply is controlled by a valve in the steam main or
by thermostatically controlling the rate of steam production in the boiler.
The control valve may be of the automatic modulating or floating type
governed thermostatically from selected control points in the building, or
it may be a'special pressure reducing valve which will maintain the
desired sub-atmospheric pressures by continuous flow into the heating
main. All radiator supply valves have incorporated adjustable orifices
or are equipped with regulating orifice plates. The sizes of orifices used
" are larger than for other types of orifice systems because for equal radiator
sizes the volume flowing is larger. These orifices are omitted on some
systems, depending upon the type of control. Radiator traps and drips
are designed to operate at any pressure, from 15 lb gage to 26 in. Hg. A
vacuum pump capable of operating at high vacuum is preferable to
promote accuracy in the distribution of steam throughout the system,
particularly in mild weather. This vacuum is partially self-induced by
the condensation of the steam in the system under conditions of restricted
supply for reduction of the radiator heat emission.
'
The returns must grade downward constantly and uninterruptedly from the radiator return outlets to the inlet of the receiver of the vacuum pump. One radical difference between this and the ordinary vacuum system is that no lifts should be made in the return line, except at the vacuum pump. The receivers are placed at a lower level than the pump and equipped with float control so that the pump may operate as a return pump under night conditions. The system may be operated-in the same manner as the ordinary vacuum system when desired.
Steam for heating domestic hot water should be taken from the boiler header back of the control valve so that pressures sufficiently high for heating the water may be maintained on the heater.. The sub-atmos pheric method of heating can be used for the' heating coils of ventilating and air conditioning systems. The flexible control of heat output secured by this method materially reduces the required size of by-pass around the heaters.' Some applications of sub-atmospheric systems are proprietary.
ORIFICE SYSTEMS
Orifice steam heating systems may have piping arrangements identical with vacuum systems. Some of these omit the radiator thermostatic . traps but use thermostatic or combination float and thermostatic traps on all drip points. A return condensation pump with receiver vented to atmosphere, a return line vacuum pump, or a return trap,, is generally used to return the condensation to the boiler or place of similar disposition, . such as a feed-water heater or hot well. The heat emission from the radiators is controlled by varying the pressure differential maintained.
The principle on which these, systems operate is based on the fact that
the' steam flow through an orifice will vary when the ratio of the absolute
pressures on the two sides of the orifice exceeds 58 per cent. If the abso-.
lute pressure on the outlet side is less than 58 per cent of the absolute
pressure on the inlet side, no further increase in flow will be obtained as a
result of the increased pressure difference. If an orifice is so designed in
size as to exactly fill a radiator with 2 psi gage on one side and psi gage
on the other, the absolute pressure relation is:
'
14 74.
'
= 0.90 or 90 per cent.

Should the steam pressure be dropped to J4 lb on the supply pipe, the pressure on each side of the orifice would be balanced and no steam flow would take place. From this it will be apparent that if an orifice of a given diameter will fill a given radiator with steam when there is a given pressure on the main, reducing this steam main pressure will permit filling various desired portions of the radiator down to the point where the main pressure equals the back pressure in the radiator provided the supply pipe pressures may be controlled sufficiently close. If orifices are designed on a similar basis for a given system and proportioned to the heating capacity of the radiators they serve, all radiators will heat proportionately to the steam pressure. The range of pressure variation is limited by the per missible noise level of the steam flowing under the pressure difference required for maximum heat output. The control of the steam supply is obtained by a valve placed in the steam main, which maintains a deter-

mined pressure by varying the vacuum in the return lines, or by varying the pressure in the supply lines and the vacuum in the returns: The valves are frequently manually set from a remote location, guided by tem perature indicating stations in the building; or thermostatically controlled from a thermostat on the roof, which automatically measures the dif ferential of outside and inside temperatures. Since the range .through which the pressures may be varied is usually from 0 to 4 psi gage, the control should be capable of maintaining close regulation to maintain the desired space temperatures, particularly in mild weather.
A recommended orifice schedule is shown in Table 8. Some systems use orifices not only in radiator inlets but also at different points in the steam supply piping for the purpose of balancing the system to a greater extent. In this manner the difference between the initial and terminal

pressure in the steam main may be compensated to a great extent. For example, if the initial pressure was 3 psi gage and the pressure at the end of , the main was 2 psi, an orifice could be used in each branch for the purpose of obtaining a more uniform pressure throughout the system. Such a provision may be particularly useful in this system for branches close to the boiler where the- drop in the main has- not yet been produced. Some orifice systems are'proprietary. '
HIGH PRESSURE STEAM SYSTEMS
Many of the recent installations of heating systems for large industrial
type buildings have been designed for the use of high pressure steam,
that is, without the use of pressure reducing valves. Such systems usually
involve the use of unit heaters or large built-up fan units with blast
heating coils. Pressures on these systems vary from 30 to 150 psi. Tem
peratures are controlled by a modulating or throttling type thermostatic
valve controlled by the air temperature in the fan outlet.

tables are based on Babcock's formula, and have been used as the. basis
of design for a number of years.- Capacities at other pressures may be
computed by means of Table 1.
'
The steam lines can be sized for greater pressure drops than the return piping. For a system using steam at 30 psi pressure, the total pressure drop can be 5 to 10 psi, and for 150-psi systems 25 to 50 psi.
It has been observed that the maximum pressure in the returns of a 30-psi system is about 5 psi, and that of a 150,-psi system is about 20 psi. The pressure in the return mains is, of course, caused by the discharge of traps, or by leaky traps and by flashing due to the lower pressure in the return line. The total pressure drop in the returns can be approximately 2 psi for the 30-psi returns, and about 10 psi for the 150-psi returns. The usual practice in the sizing of high pressure returns has been to size on the basis of psi per 100 ft of pipe for 30-psi systems, and 1 psi per 100 ft for 150-psi systems. This is an average figure which corresponds generally to several of the previously published tables for the design of high pressure return piping.
` The returns generally discharge to a vented receiver. It is, of course, necessary to provide for the elimination'of air from high pressure systems, the same as in low pressure systems. If possible, it is desirable to design the system so as to condense some of the steam escaping through the vents by passing it through a heat exchanger.
When high pressure steam is being supplied and lower steam pressures are required for heating, for domestic hot water, for utility services, etc., one or more pressure reducing, valves (pressure regulators) are required.
These are used in two classes of service, one where the steam must be
shut off tight to prevent the low pressure building up at time of no load,
and the other where the low pressure lines will condense enough steam to
offset normal leaking through the valve.- In the latter case, double seated
-valves may be used in a manner that reduces the work required of the
diaphragm in closing the valve and consequently the size of the dia
phragm. These valves also control .the low pressures more closely under
conditions of varying high pressures. .
.'
Valves that shut off all steam are called dead end type. They are single seated, and some of them have pilot operation that provides close control of the reduced pressure. If a thermostatically controlled valve is installed 'after, and near, a reducing valve in such a manner as to cut off the passage of steam, the dead end type should be used.
It is common practice when the initial steam pressure is 100 psi or higher tp install two-stage reduction. If the radiation served is cast-iron, the A.S.M.E. code requires two reducing valves when the inlet pressure exceeds 50 psi. This makes a quieter condition of steam flow, as it is apparent that with one reduction, as for example from 150 to 2 psi, there is a smaller opening with greater velocity across the reducing valve and, consequently, more noise. A two-stage reduction also introduces a source of safety, since if one reducing valve were to build up its discharge pressure, this excess' pressure would not be so great as the case might be in a one-stage-reduction.
'.If an installation requires single seated valves and the pilot type cannot be used, it is necessary to use two-stage reduction, as single seated . valves. require sufficient diaphragm area to overcome the unbalanced . pressure underneath the single valve. In many cases the large diameter
Steam Heating Systems and Piping
435
of diaphragm required would make it"impractical in construction. With'a two-stage reduction the diaphragm diameter required would be reduced. If a one-stage reduction is desired, it is necessary to use a pilot controlled pressure reducing valve, where low pressures are to be maintained closely.
In making a two-stage reduction, allowance for expansion of steam on
the low pressure side of the valve should be made by increasing the pipe
size. This also allows steam flow to be at a more nearly uniform velocity.
Separating the valves by a distance up to 20 ft is recommended to reduce
excessive hunting action of. the first valve.
\
When the reduced pressure is approximately 15 psi or lower, the weight and lever diaphragm valve gives the best results with minimum main tenance. Above 15 psi, spring loaded diaphragm valves should be used; because of the extra weights required on weight and lever type. Pressure, equalizing lines should not be connected too close to the valve. They should be connected into the bottom of the reduced pressure steam main, to allow maximum condensation to exist in the equalizing lines, or the connection can be made into the top of the main if a water accumulator is used to reduce the variation of the head of water on the diaphragm. -
Care should be exercised in selecting the size of a reducing valve. The safest method is to consult the manufacturer. It is essential that sizes . of piping to and from the reducing valve be such that they will pass, the desired amount of steam with the maximum velocity desired. A common error, is. to make the size of the reducing valve the same size as that of the service, or outlet pipe size. Generally,`this will make the reducing valve oversized, and bring about wire-drawing of valve and seat, due to small lift of the valve seat.
On installations where the steam requirements are relatively large and
variable in mild weather or reduced demand periods, wire-drawing may
occur. To overcome this condition, two reducing valves are installed in
parallel, with the sizes selected' on a 70 and 30 per cent proportion of
maximum flow. For example, if 50,000 lb of steam per hour are required, -
the size of one valve is on the basis of 0.7 X 50,000 lb, or 35,000 lb, and
the other on the basis of 0.3 X 50,000 lb, or 15,000 lb. During the mild
or reduced demand periods, steam will flow through the smaller valve
only. During the remainder of the season, the.larger valve is set to control
at whatever low pressure is desired, and the smaller one at a somewhat
lower pressureV' Thus, when, steam flow is not at its maximum, the
smaller valve is closed, but it opens automatically when the maximum
steam demand occurs, because this maximum demand creates a slight
pressure drop in the service line.
.
. The installation of reducing valves in pipe lines requires detailed
planning. They should be installed to give ease of access for inspection
and repair, and wherever possible with diaphragm downward, except
in cases of pilot operated valves.
.
.
. There should be a by-pass around each reducing valve of size equal to one-half the size of reducing valve. The globe valve in by-pass line should be of a better type of construction, and must shut off absolutely tight: A steam pressure gage, graduated up tp the initial pressure, should be installed on the low pressure side. Safety valves located on the low pressure side should be set 5 psi higher than the final pressure but may be 10 psi higher than the reduced pressure if this reduced pressure is that of the first stage reduction of a double reduction. Strainers are sometimes installed on the inlet to the reducing valve but are not required before a1 second-stage reduction. If a twoTstage reduction is made, it. is well to
436
CHAPTER 23
1946 Guide
install a pressure gage immediately before the reducing, valve of the second-stage reduction also'. In sizes 3 in. and above, it is advisable to install a drip trap between the two reducing valves.
BOILER CONNECTIONS Steam
Cast-iron, sectional heating boilers usually have several outlets in the top. Two or more outlets should be used whenever possible to reduce the velocity of the steam in the vertical uptakes from the boiler and thus to prevent water being carried over into the steam main.
Return
< Cast-iron boilers are generally provided with return tappings on both sides, while steel boilers are generally equipped with only one return

tapping. Where two tappings are provided, both should be used to effect proper circulation through the boiler. The return connection should include either a Hartford return connection or a check valve to prevent the accidental loss of boiler water to the returns &ith consequent danger of boiler damage. The Hartford return connection is to be preferred over the check valve because the latter is apt to stick or not close tightly and, furthermore, because the check valve offers additional resistance to the condensate coming back to the boiler, which in gravity systems would raise the water line in the far end of the wet return several inches.
In order to prevent the boiler from losing its water under any circum stances, the use of the Hartford return connection is recommended. This connection for a one- or two-boiler installation is shown in Fig. 16. The essential features of construction of a Hartford return connection are: (1) a direct connection (made without valves) between the steam side of the boiler and the return side of the boiler, and (2) a close nipple, or preferably an inverted Y-fitting connection about 2 in. below the normal boiler water line from the return main to the boiler steam and return pressure .balance connection. Equalizing pipe connections between the
Steam Heating Systems and Piping
437
steam and return are given in Fig-. 16, based on grate areas, but in ho case shall this pipe size be less than the main return piping from the system.
Sizing Boiler Connections
'
Little information is available on the sizing of boiler runouts and steam headers. Although some engineers prefer an enlarged steam header to serve as additional steam storage space, there ordinarily is no sudden demand for steam in a steam heating system except during the heating-up period, at which time a large steam header is a disadvantage rather than an advantage. The boiler header may be sized by first computing the maximum load that must be carried by any portion of the header under any conceivable method of operation, and then applying the same schedule of pipe sizing to the header as is used on the steam mains for the 'building. The horizontal runouts from the boiler, or boilers, may be sized by calculating the heaviest load that will be placed on the boiler at any time, and sizing the runout on the same basis as the building mains. The difference in size between the vertical uptakes from the boiler, which should be of same size as the boiler outlet tapping, and the horizontal main or runout is compensated for by the use of reducing ells.
Return connections to boilers in gravity systems are made the same size as the return main itself. Where the return is split and connected to two tappings on the same boiler, both connections are made' the full size of the return line. -Where two or more boilers are in use, the return to each may be sized to carry the full amount of return for the maximum load which that boiler will be required to carry. Where two boilers are used, one of them being a spare, the full size of the return main would be carried to each boiler, but if three boilers are installed, with one spare, the return line to each boiler would require only half of the capacity of the entire system, or, if the boiler capacity were more than one-half the entire system load, the return would be sized on the basis of the maximum boiler capacity. As the return piping around the boiler is usually small and short, it should not be sized to the minimum.
With returns pumped from a vacuum or receiver return pump, the size of the line may be calculated from the water rate on the pump discharge when it is operating, and the line sized for a very small pressure drop. The relative boiler loads should be considered, as in the case of gravity return connections. Boiler header and piping sizes should be based on the total load.
CONDENSATION RETURN PUMPS
Condensation return pumps are used for gravity systems when the local conditions do not permit the condensation to return to the boiler under the existing static head. The return of the condensate permits the water, to repeatedly go through the cycle of vaporization, with subsequent condensation and return to the boiler, During such repeated cycles any incrustants or other substances in solution are precipitated and the water de-activated to a considerable extent so that corrosion of a serious nature is seldom ever encountered where the condensate is repeatedly used. Serious corrosion is more frequently found in systems in which the con densation is wasted and fresh make-up water is continually being intro duced.
The most generally accepted condensation pump unit for low- pressure heating systems consists of a motor-driven centrifugal pump with receiver
438
CHAPTER 23
' ' 1946 Guide
and automatic float control. Other types, in use include rotary, screw
and reciprocating pumps with steam turbine or motor drive, and direct-
acting steam reciprocating pumps.
;
The receiver capacities of these automatic units should be sized so as not to cause too great a fluctuation of the boiler water, line if fed directly to the boiler and at the same time not so small as to cause too frequent operation of the unit. The usual unit provides storage capacity between stops in the receiver of approximately 1.5 times the amount of condensate returned per minute and the pump generally has a delivery rate of 3 to 4 times the normal flow. This relation of receiver and pump size to heating system condensing capacity takes account of the peak condensation rate.
A typical, installation of a motor driven automatic condensation unit
. is illustrated in Fig. 17.

such as installations where it is necessary to return the condensate to a

instances separate air and water pumps may be used. '

maintain vacuums above 5J4 in-

VACUUM HEATING PUMPS
On vacuum systems, where, the returns are under a vacuum, and subatmospheric systems, where the supply piping, radiation and the returns are under a vacuum, it is necessary to use a vacuum pump to discharge the air and non-condensable gases to' atmosphere and to dispose of the condensation. Direct-acting steam-driven reciprocating vacuum pumps are sometimes used where high pressure steam is available or where the exhaust steam from the pump can be utilized. In general, however, these have been replaced by the automatic motor-driven return line Heating, pump especially developed for. this service. Steam turbine drive is .also frequently used where steam at suitable pressures is available, the steam being used afterward for building heating. The usual vacuum pump unit consists of a.compact assembly of exhausting unit for withdrawing the air-vapor mixture and discharging`the air to atmosphere and a water removal unit which .discharges, the condensate to the boiler. They are

1000 EDR served. This capacity is at 5J- in. of vacuum and with con
densate at 160 F. The larger air capacity is for sinaller systems and the
smaller capacity for the larger systems.
,
, Some manufacturers, however, specify more air capacity than standard where' higher vacuums are desired and where air leakage is suspected.
The vacuum that can be maintained on a system depends upon the
relationship of the air leakage rate into the system to the operating air .
capacity of the hydraulic evacuator when operating at any given return
line temperature. The hotter the returns, the lower will be the possible
vacuum for a given air leakage rate into the system.. It is particularly
essential on high vacuum installations to see that the entire system is
tight in order to reduce the amount of inward air leakage and, further- .
- more, to see that relatively higher temperature steam is prevented from '
entering the vacuum return lines through leaky traps, high pressure
drips, etc. It is for.this reason that the condensate from equipment using
steam at high pressures should not be connected directly to a vacuum
return line, but should drain to a receiver through a high pressure trap.;
, The receiver should have.an equalizing connection to a low pressure steam
main and drain through a low pressure trap to the vacuum return main as -
indicated in Fig. 18.

Vacuum Pump Controls
..
In the ordinary vacuum system, the vacuum pump is controlled by a
vacuum regulator which cuts in when the vacuum drops to the lowest
point desired and cuts out when it has been increased to the highest point,
these points being varied to suit the particular system or operating
conditions. In addition to this vacuum control, a float control is included
which will automatically start the pump whenever sufficient condensation
' accumulates in the receiver, regardless of the vacuum on the system. A
selector switch is usually provided to allow operation at night as a con
densation pump only, also to give manual or continuous operation when
desired.
There are several variations in the control of the vacuum maintained on the system by the pump. In some sub-atmospheric systems where " orifices are used, the vacuum pump control maintains a pressure difference between the supply and the return piping, which is held within relatively close limits. There are other sub-atmospheric systems which utilize special temperature-pressure actuated controls for maintaining the desired conditions in the return lines. Where various zones are connected to the same return main, the return vacuum must-be controlled to meet the requirements of the zone operating at the lowest steam supply pressure.
Piston Displacement Vacuum Pumps
Piston displacement return vacuum heating pumps may be either elec
tric or steam driven. Their piston speed in feet per minute should not
exceed 20 times the square root of the number of inches in their stroke.
They are usually supplied with an air separating tank, open to atmos
phere, placed on the discharge side of the pump and at an elevation
sufficiently high to allow gravity flow of the condensate to.the boiler. If
' the boiler pressure is too high for such gravity feed, then an additional
steam pump for feeding .the boiler is desirable. The extra pump is some
times avoided by using a closed separating tank with a float controlled
vent. In both arrangements, the air taken from the system must be
discharged against the full discharge pressure of the vacuum pump. In
the case of high or medium pressure boilers, it is better to use the atmos
pheric separator and the second pump.
In figuring the required displacement for such pumps, a value of from
6 to 10 times the volumetric flow of condensation is used for average
vacuums and systems.
.
TRAPS
. Traps are generally classified as to function as (a) separating traps, (b) return, lifting or vacuum traps, and (e) air traps. Separating'traps may be either float operated, thermostatically operated, or float and. thermostatically operated. Return traps for low pressure service are referred to later as alternating receivers in this chapter. Return traps may also operate to receive condensate under a vacuum and return it to atmosphere or a higher pressure. Air traps are generally float operated.
Separating traps are used to release water of condensation but to retain steam. The thermostatic, and float and thermostatic types release both condensate and air but retain steam. Separating traps are used for draining condensate from radiators, indirect air heaters, steam piping systems, kitchen equipment, laundry equipment, hospital equipment.
Steam Heating Systems and Piping
441
drying equipment and many other kinds of apparatus. Air traps release
air but retain water. Devices known as air vents are, in principle, traps
which allow the passage of air but prevent the passage of either water or
steam.
.
Return traps are used for returning condensate either by. gravity, by
steam pressure, or by both, to a boiler or other point of disposal, and for
lifting condensate from a lower to a higher elevation, or for handling
condensate from a lower to a higher pressure.
.
' The fundamental principle upon which the operation of practically all traps depends is that the pressure within the trap at the time of discharge shall be equal to, or slightly in excess of, the pressure against which the trap must discharge, including the friction head, velocity head and static head on the discharge side of the trap.
Traps may also be classified according to the principle of operating device which supplies the power to cause them to function as (1) float, (2) bucket, (3) thermostatic, (4) float arid thermostatic, (5) impulse, or. (6) tilting traps.
Float Traps. A discharge valve is operated by the rise and fall of a float due to the change of water level in the trap. When the trap is empty the float is in its lowest position, and the discharge valve is closed. A gage glass may be used to indicate the height of water in the chamber.
Unless float traps are well made and proportioned there is danger of considerable steam- leakage through the discharge valve due to unequal expansion of the valve arid seat and the sticking of moving parts. The discharge from a float trap is usually continuous since the height of the float, and consequently the area of the outlet, is proportional to the amount of water present:
Bucket Traps. Bucket traps are of two types, the upright and inverted, and although they are both of the open float constructiori, their operating principle is entirely different.- In the upright bucket trap, the water of condensation enters the trap and fills the space between the bucket and. the walls of the trap. This causes the bucket to float and forces the valve against-its seat, the valve and its stem usually being fastened to the bucket. When the water rises above the edges of the bucket it flows into it and causes it to sink, thereby withdrawing the valve from its seat. This permits the steam pressure acting on the surface of the water in the bucket to force the water to a discharge opening. When the bucket is emptied it rises and closes the valve and another cycle begins. The discharge from this type, of trap is intermittent.
In the inverted bucket trap, steam floats the inverted submerged bucket. and closes the valve. Water entering the trap fills the bucket, which sinks and through compound leverage opens the valve, and the trap dis charges. It is impossible to install a water gage glass on an inverted bucket trap, but if visual inspection is necessary, a gage glass can be placed on the line leading to the trap. No air relief cocks can be used, but they are unnecessary, as the elimination of air is automatically taken care of by air passing through the vent in the top of the inverted bucket
regardless of temperature.
Thermostatic Traps. Thermostatic traps are of two types, those in
which the discharge valve is operated by the relative expansion of metals,
and those in which the action of a volatile liquid is utilized for this purpose.
- Thermostatic traps of large capacity for draining blast coils or very large:
radiators are called blast traps.
..

CHAPTER 23
__________
1946 Guide
Float and thermostatic traps have both a thermostatic element to release *
air and a float element to release the water.
- ..
Impulse traps operate with a moving valve actuated by a control
cylinder. When the trap is handling condensate,, the pressure required to lift the valve is greater than the reduced pressure in the control cylinder and consequently the valve opens allowing a free discharge of condensate. As the remaining condensate approaches steam temperature, flashing results, flow through the valve orifice is choked and the pressure builds up in the control chamber closing the valve.
Automatic Return Traps
.
In the general heating plant, where thermostatic traps are installed on the heating units, it becomes necessary to provide a means for returning the water of condensation to the boiler, if a condensation or vacuum pump is not used. When the return main can be kept sufficiently high above the boiler water line for all operating conditions, the water of condensation will flow back by gravity, and no mechanical device is required. But ' actually this does not work out in practice. It follows, therefore, that a direct-return trap is needed for the handling of the condensation even though it may not be called into action except under some operating condition where the pressure differential exceeds the static head provided. The installation of a direct-return trap assures safety for such systems, and guarantees the operation of the plant under varying conditions.
Automatic return traps, sometimes called alternating receivers, may be of the counter-balanced, tilting type, or spring actuated. These consist' of a small receiver with an internal float, .and when,the condensate will not flow into the boiler under pressure, it will feed into the receiver of the trap, and in so doing, raise or tilt the float or mechanism which actuates a steam valve automatically. This admits steam to the receiver, at boiler pressure, and the equalizing of the pressures which follows allows the water to flow into the boiler.
Tilting Traps. With this type of trap, water enters a bowl and rises until its weight overbalances that of a counter-weight, and the bowl sinks to the bottom. As the bowl sinks, a valve is opened, thus admitting live steam pressure on the surface of the water, and the trap then dis- charges. After the water is discharged, the'counter-weight sinks and raises the bowl, which in turn closes the valve and the cycle begins again. Tilting traps are necessarily intermittent in operation. They are not ordinarily equipped with glass water gages, as the action of the trap shows when it is filling or emptying. The air relief of tilting traps is taken care of by the valves of the trap.
DRIPS
A steam main in any type of steam heating system may be dropped to a . lower level without dripping if the pitch is downward with the direction of steam flow. Any steam main in any heating system can be elevated if dripped. Fig. 19 shows a connection where the steam main is raised and
the drain is to a wet return. If the elevation of the low point is above a dry return, it may be drained through a trap to the dry return in two-pipe vapor, vacuum and sub-atmospheric systems,' Horizontal steam pipes may also be run oyer obstructions without a change in level if a small pipe is carried below the obstruction to care for the condensation (Fig. 20). Horizontal return pipes may be carried past doorways and other ob-

smaller one over it.

Branches from steam mains in one-pipe gravity steam systems should use the preferred connection shown in Fig. 22, but where radiator condensation does not flow back into the main the acceptable method shown in the same figure may be used. This acceptable method has the advantage of

' Dirt pockets, desirable on all systems employing thermostatic .traps, should be so located as to protect the traps from scale and muck which will interfere with their operation. Dirt pockets are usually made 8 in. to 12 -in; deep and serve as receivers for foreign matter which otherwise would be carried into the trap. They are constructed as shown.in Fig. 24.
. On vapor systems where the end of the steam main.is dripped down into the wet return, the air venting at the end of the main is accomplished by an air vent, passing through a thermostatic trap into the dry return line as shown in Fig. 25. On vacuum systems the ends of the steam mains are dripped and vented into the return through drip traps opening into the return line. The same method may be used in atmospheric systems.

A float type trap is preferable to a thermostatic trap for dripping steam
mains and large risers. If thermostatic traps are used, a cooling leg
(Fig. 26) should always be provided. The cooling leg is for cooling the
condensation sufficiently before it reaches the trap, so the trap will not be
held shut by too high a temperature. On down-feed systems of atmos
pheric, vapor, and vacuum types, the bottoms of the steam risers are
dripped in the manner shown in Fig. 27. On large systems it is desirable
to install a gate valve in the cooling leg ahead of the trap.
.
CONNECTIONS TO HEATING UNITS
Riser, radiator and convector connections must not only be properly
pitched at the time they are installed but must be arranged so that the
pitch will be maintained under the strains of expansion and contraction.
These connections may be made by swing joints which permit the ex
pansion or contraction to occur under heating and cooling without bending
of pipes. To take care of expansion in long risers, either expansion joints '
Of commercial construction or pipe swing joints are used. Anchoring of
pipes between expansion joints is desirable. '

Where a building is served by a vacuum system or a sub-atmospheric system the stacks should be piped in the usual manner and traps of large capacity, preferably of the combination float and thermostatic type, should be used. In the orifice and closed two-pipe systems, traps should be used on the returns so. that a pressure, above that of the atmosphere may be secured on the heaters.
Each stack should have a separate steam and return connection and trap. Wide stacks are more evenly heated if divided and supplied with two steam connections, one at each end, and a return connection for each steam connection. For. stacks of large capacity it is sometimes desirable to run a separate steam main direct from the boiler to the stacks.
. CONTROL VALVES
Gate valves are recommended in all cases where service demands that the valve be either entirely open or entirely closed, but they should never be used for throttling. Angle globe valves and straight globe valves should be used for throttling, as done on by-passes around pressure reducing valves or on by-passes around traps.

Systems of Piping, Forced Circulation Pipe Sizes, Gravity Circulation Pipe Sizes, Expansion Tanks, Installation Details,
. Examples of Piping Design
THERE are two general-systems of piping used for either gravity or forced hot water systems: (a) Two-pipe system, (b) One-pipe system.
With either of these piping systems the distributing mains may be located in the basement with up-feed to the radiators and risers, or the supply main may be located in the attic with the return main located in ,, the basement. For radiators located on the basement floor the mains may be run at the ceiling, as one of the advantages, of a forced hot water heating system is that the returns need not be below the radiators as required with a steam system. In some one-pipe systems there is one supply main in the basement with separate flow and return riser con
nections to the radiators.
In the two-pipe system there are separate supply and return pipes throughout so that the radiators are connected in parallel, resulting in the same water temperature in all radiators. With the one-pipe system part of the water flows through more than one radiator, so that the water temperature toward the end of the main is not as high as near the boiler. However, with the one-pipe system, by maintaining a rapid circulation and small difference in temperature between the water leaving and returning to the boiler or other heat generator, the variation in the
radiator water temperature is reduced.
The two-pipe system for larger buildings should, if possible, be arranged
for reversed return. The direct and reversed return systems are shown
in Figs, 1 and 2. With the reversed return system, the length of the
water circuit for any one radiator is the same as for any other radiator
and, therefore, the friction and temperature losses to all radiators should
be nearly the same.
'
In some cases the reversed return system involves no more piping than
the direct return system. In the case of large buildings, it is often advis
able to zone the piping.
'
The quantity of water which must be circulated may be determined from the following equation:
w= H
CM
(1)
where
W = weight of water circulated in pounds per hour.
..
H = heat required in Btu per hour.
C = specific heat (=1 for water).
At = change in water temperature between supply and return line in Fahrenheit
degrees.
' '
Weight may be changed to gallons per minute by dividing W by 8 x 60 where 8 is average weight of a gallon of water at temperatures existing in heating systems. '

Mechanical Circulators
'
Circulating pumps are usually of the centrifugal type. The required capacity of the pump is calculated as shown by Equation 1. For example, for 100.Mbh and 20 deg drop a pump having a capacity of 5000.1b water per hour or 10 gpm should be used. The resistance head is based on the system as designed. In large systems the economical size of pump may be determined by comparing the cost of power for operation with the annual charges on the capital cost of the piping system, as larger pipe sizes mean less pump power. Velocities through piping in excess of 4 fps are likely to cause disturbing noises in buildings other than factories. In large systems'the pumps are run continuously while in small ones they are run either continuously or intermittently depending on the type of automatic temperature control selected. Small circulating pumps are usually driven by direct-connected electric motors. Under certain con . ditions a valved by-pass should be provided and the piping so designed that in case of breakdown of the pump or failure of electric current there will be sufficient gravity circulation to keep the building reasonably warm. In large buildings or groups of buildings, it is often advisable to have two pumps, each of about 70 per cent of the total capacity, to take care

. of breakdown service. During mild weather, variations in water tem
perature may be utilized to balance the required heat loss. In the larger
systems steam turbines are sometimes used to drive the pumps, the
exhaust steam being used for heating the water, and in such buildings as
hospitals this may be the most economical method.
As the average pump used for water circulation is not over 60 per cent
efficient, the cost of power on a large installation should be computed and ..
comparisons made between the savings in capital cost of piping and the
annual cost of power.
.
FORCED CIRCULATION PIPE SIZES
The heads available to cause circulation are much greater in forced circulation systems than in gravity circulation systems. Consequently, higher velocities may be used in designing the system, with the result that smaller pipes may -be selected and the first cost of the installation reduced. As the pipe sizes of a.heating system are reduced, the necessary increase in the velocity of the water increases the friction losses and thus . the cost of operation and the initial cost of .the circulating equipment. The increased velocity of a forced circulation system offers.a, number of advantages, such as a much shorter heating-up period and a more flexible, control of hot water circulation. This improved performance merits the " small increase in operating cost necessary to circulate the water mechani- ' cally. -The velocities required should be determined'by calculation for' the particular system under consideration. As forced circulation velocities
F R IC T IO N --------- M 1 U N C H E S P E R FO O T- OF P IP E
Hot Water Heating Systems and Piping '
451
are higher than those in gravity systems, and as the friction in a heating
system varies almost as the square of the velocity, a given error in the
calculation or assumption of a velocity is less important in a forced circulation system than in a gravity circulation system, and, consequently,
it. is easier to design a satisfactory forced circulation system than a satis
factory gravity circulation system.
'
.
In forced circulation systems, it is common practice to use a tempera ture drop of 20 to 30 deg across the boiler or heater. Next, the allowable
friction in the water circuit must be decided. The allowable friction is
1000 000 s
controlled partly by the characteristics of the pumps available for this
service. The heads developed by these pumps range from 2 to 5 ft for residential systems up to 100 ft for institutional heating plants.
The problem in sizing of pipe is one of selecting sizes which will cause a circuit resistance approximately equal to the head available to produce
circulation when the desired quantity of water is flowing.
'
The friction loss in black iron pipes for a determined weight of water may be obtained from Fig. 3. For the frequently used temperature drop of 20 deg the friction loss may be determined directly, from the heat requirement by means of Table 1 or Fig. 4 for black iron pipes, or by'.
means of Table 2 for copper tubing.

Note.--The losses of head for the orifices in the lH-in. and 2-in. pipe were calculated from those in the
smaller pipes, the calculations being based on the assumption that, for any given velocity, the loss of head
is.a function of the ratio of'the Hiam>tr of the pipe to that of the orifice.,. This had-been found to.be/
practically true in the tests to determine the tosses of head in orifices in &-in.. 1-in-, and l}-ln. pipe, con-,

head available for circulation may be selected from the charts or tables

.
Radiator heat emission rates from 150 to 200 Btu per square foot are commonly used so that flow temperatures generally range from 180 to 200 F or higher. Assuming a flow temperature of 200 F and a 35 deg drop, and with the mains located 4 ft above the top of the boiler, a head of 600 milinches results. This is obtained by following the 200 F floor riser line in Fig. 5 to where it intersects the 165 F return riser line and

as illustrated in Fig. 6, or closed as shown in Fig. 7. An open expansion tank has free vent to the atmosphere and consequently the pressure on the surface of the water is always.that of one atmosphere.. The minimum contents of an open tank should be 0.06 of the volume of the water in the system including that in the boiler, heat transmitters, pipes, etc. This capacity is 50 per cent in excess of the actual increase in volume of water due to increase in temperature from 40 F to 200 F. ` The tank should be located at least 3 ft above the highest radiator. Provision must be made to prevent freezing of the water in the tank as well as in the pipe'
leading to the tank.
.
In a gravity circulation system, the pipe to the open expansion tank should be connected to the supply riser from the boiler, so that the air liberated from the water in the boiler will enter the expansion tank. '
In a forced circulation system, the pipe to the open expansion tank

reading horizontally a head of 150 milinches per foot or 600 milinches for 4 ft.. Assuming first floor radiators are located 3 ft above the mains and second floor radiators 12 ft above the mains, third floor 21 ft, and fourth floor 30 ft, the heads are 450, 1800, 3150 and 4500 milinches respectively.^
EXPANSION TANKS
':
Water heated from 40 F to 200 F expands about 0.04 of the original .volume. The expansion tank permits the change in volume of the water ' in the heating system to take place without producing undesirable stresses due to pressure in any part of the system. Expansion tanks may be open,
should be connected on the suction side of the circulating pump,'so that the head on the suction side of the pump will remain practically constant.
,A closed expansion tank is sealed against free venting to the atmos
phere. The tank may be above the highest radiator or heat transmitter,
or may be below the lowest one. The minimum contents of a closed
expansion tank must be such that the expansion of the water due to
increase in temperature will be cushioned against a reservoir of compressed
air above the water level in the expansion tank. The tank must provide
space not only for the change in water volume, but also for variations in
air volume within the tank due to changes in air pressure. If the closed,
expansion tank is below the heat transmitters, the tank should be larger
than if it is above them, and the higher the building, under such circum
stances, the larger should .be the air capacity in excess of. that required
for increase in water volume due to temperature rise.
The size of a basement-located closed expansion tank should be at least
equal to the following:
.
.
- One story buildings: x = 0.10 V . Two story buildings: * = 0.13 V
Three story buildings: x = 0.17 V Six story buildings: x -= 0.28 V
where X = expansion tank size in gallons. . V = water volume in.heating system in gallons.
.
458

CHAPTER 24 -

This condition favors, especially in tall buildings, the placing of the closed expansion, tank above the highest heat transmitter.
' Any closed expansion tank located above the Tieat transmitters of . a
hot water heating system should be connected by a direct pipe with the.
' -flow main leaving the boiler, in order to enable the air to pass easily to the .
expansion tank. In a closed hot water, heating system the water under
pressure tends to absorb air at a rate increasing with pressure increase `
and decreasing with temperature increase.
,'
Means must be provided to adjust and to observe the proportion of air
within any closed expansion tank. This involves the provision of an air
inlet valve, a water gage and a relief valve. A source of supply' of com
pressed air for renewing the air cushion is highly desirable; especially in
large; high pressure hot water heating systems where it is inconvenient,
if not impracticable, to drain down the water in the system so as to permit
introduction of atmospheric pressure air;
^
..
For every hot water heating system the designer should calculate the volume of water contained in the radiators, piping system, boiler, etc., in order to select the proper size of expansion tank. The water content

of the piping can be obtained from Table 5. For a rough selection of size,
however, it is sometimes assumed that 50 per cent of the volume of water1
is contained in the radiators,, and that the water content per square foot
t of radiator heating surface is 0.2 gal for column radiators and 0.13 ,gal
tor tube type radiators. .
1 .
Another rough method for determining the size of an expansion tank
to be located above the highest radiator is to divide the square feet of
radiation by the factor 40 to obtain the required capacity in gallons, of
the expansion tank. .

Items that should be considered in the design of this type of system are:
All piping must be so pitched that all air in the system can be vented either through
an open expansion tank, radiators or automatic relief valves.
..
All piping must be arranged so that the entire system can be drained. Sections, of
piping individually valved shall have corresponding drain valves.
.'
- In large buildings, the-piping may be zoned according to exposure of building, usage -
of building, or method of control.
.
All piping must be installed so that it is free to expand and contract with changes of temperature without producing undue stresses in the pipes or connections. For thi^. purpose it is generally sufficient to allow for a variation in length of 1 in. for 100 ft of pipe. .
, The pipe system should be designed so that each circuit has its correct friction for
balanced water distribution. This maybe done by change of pipe size or change in pip-.
. -ing detail.
#

`
' The connections from the boiler to the mains should be short and direct, to reduce the

friction and allow for expansion. It is frequently possible to avoid an elbow and to
reduce the length of the pipe by running the pipe in a diagonal direction, either in a,
horizontal or in a vertical plane.
.
,~
The mains and branches should pitch up and away from the heater, generally not'
less than. 1 in. in 10 ft.
- ' .. -
The connections from mains to branches and to risers should be such that circulation
through the risers will start in the right direction. Hence, in a one-pipe system the flow
connection must be nearer the heater than the return connection. In a correctly-.
designed two-pipe system, the pressure in the flow main is higher than that in the return
main, and a slight variation in the distances of the flow and return connections from the
heater is not material; but it is generally best to have the two connections about equally
distant from the heater.-
,
*
Generally, connections to risers or radiators are taken out of the top of mains either
45 dr 90 deg. In some cases it may be advisable to take the flow connection off the top
of the main and the return connection from the side.
..
With forced circulation and high velocities, it is advisable to let the water enter at the top of the radiator and leave at the bottom of the opposite end. With gravity circulation
Fig. 9. Forced Circulation System
the flow connection may be either at the top or at the bottom of the radiator. With short radiators both flow and return may be at the same end, but at top and bottom.
Unless used as heating surface, all' piping, both flow and return, should be insulated.

/ EXAMPLES OF PIPING DESIGN

piping systems will illustrate the fundamental principles and methods. ,

Elementary Gravity System

Example t\ A simple gravity-circulation system is illustrated in Fig. 8 with one
radiator that is giving off heat at the rate of 20,000 Btu per hour or 20 Mbh. The boiler
imparts heat to the water at the same rate, and the water circulates at a uniform velocity.
This uniform velocity is such that the friction of the circuit is equal to the head developed
* by, the difference in density between the supply and return water and the height of the , .
system. The circuit consists of 1 boiler, 1 radiator, 2 ells, 1 radiator valve and a total .
of.24 ft of pipe.
.
..
. ..

.. ' ,
' Solution. With the average water temperatures of 200 and 180 F in the supply and ' . return risers, respectively, the head will be 90 milinches per foot of water column. This -
. head may be found from Fig. 5. Since the center of .the radiator is 10 ft above the center ' of the boiler,- the total-head of the circuit is 10 x 90, or 900 milinches, or 0.9 inches of
190 F water. The friction of the circuit must then also be 900 milinches. The friction \ .

of 1 ft of 1 in.-pipe is found from Fig. 4 to be about 46 milindhes at 20 Mbh, and the .
corresponding velocity 9 in. per second. (Note that all values in Fig. 4 are based on a
temperature difference of 20 deg).
.'
Similarly, if a
in. pipe were to be used, the friction head would be about 12 mil-
inches per foot and the corresponding velocity about 5 in. per second, from Fig. 4.
To find the friction in the elbows, boiler, radiator and valve, Table 3 is used, and the entire circuit is found to be equal to 10 elbow-equivalents plus 24 ft of pipe. Each elbowequivalent is equal to a pipe length of 25 times the nominal diameter. Then the equi valent lengths of straight pipe are 45 ft of 1 in. pipe or 50 ft of 1% in. pipe.
Hence, if 1 in. pipe is used, the friction of the circuit will be 45 x 46, or 2070 milinches, and if 1^ in. pipe is used, the friction will be 50 x 12, or 600 milinches. A 1 in. pipe would, therefore, be too small and a \ % in. pipe too large to permit the desired circulation with a flow-return temperature difference of 20 deg.
If the circuit is of 1 in. pipe,.the circulation will take place with a temperature differ
ence greater than 20 deg, and if the circuit is of Vyi in. pipe, the circulation will take place
with a temperature difference smaller than 20 deg. To find, for example, the temperature
difference at which a circuit of 1 in. pipe would transmit the required 20 Mbh, assume the
difference to be 40 deg.
`
'
From Fig. 5, the head available for producing circulation would be 175 milinches per foot or 1750 for the system for a temperature drop from 200 to 160 F. The friction of the
Hot Water Heating Systems and Piping

the 1 in. pipe line, and read about 77 Mbh delivered by the pipe (with a velocity of about 35 in. per second) for a temperature difference of 20 deg. Since the circuit is to deliver only 20 Mbh, the temperature difference will be 20 divided by 77 and multiplied by 20, or 5.2 deg.' Hence, if the flow riser temperature is 200, the return riser temperature will be' about 195, and the average water temperature in the radiator about 197.5 F.
If a in. pipe were used instead of a 1 in., the equivalent length of circuit would be 35 ft instead of 45; the unit head, 686 milinches instead of 533; the velocity, 27 in. per second instead of 35; the temperature difference, 19.5 instead of .5.2; and the average water temperature in the radiator, about 190.5 instead of 197.5 F.
. If the 1 in. pipe is used for the circuit, the gravity head will be 22 milinches per foot, or 220 for the circuit (Fig. 5, 200 to 195). Since this is only 1 per cent of the pump head (24,000 milinches), it may be neglected in the calculation, as was done previously. However, there are cases in which the gravity- head is so large compared with the pump head, that it should be included in the calculation.
The methods just described for the design of the two elemehtary systems are fundamental and apply to the design of all hotwater heating systems. In every system, however large and complicated, the pipe system must be such that the head' forcing the water from the boiler to any one radiator is equal.to the friction in that radiator's circuit when the
Fig. 10. Determination of Required Temperature Difference
system may be found from Fig. 4; the.chart of this figure, is based on a temperature
difference of 20 deg; if the temperature difference were 40 deg, the heat conveyed would
be twice that shown in the chart. Hence, find 10 Mbh on the lower scale, proceed
vertically upward to the intersection with the 1 in. line, and from there to the left scale
read 13 milinches per foot.. Note that the velocity would then be only about 5 in. per
second: The total friction would then be 45 x 13 or 585 milinches. Since the head
would be 1750, circulation would take place with a temperature difference less than
40 deg. The required temperature difference may be determined by constructing the
diagram of Fig. 10, from which it appears that the temperature difference with which
the 1 in. pipe circuit would function is about 30 deg. Hence, if the flow riser temperature
is 200, the return riser temperature will be 170, and the average water temperature in
the radiator about 185 F.
'.
Elemehtary Forced Circulation System .
,
Example 2. Design a system for the piping arrangement shown in Fig. 9, according to one of the outlined procedures. The procedure may be as follows: Assume the head developed by. the circulating pump and the pipe size and find the flow-return tempera ture difference; or, assume the head developed by the pump and the flow-return tem perature difference and find the pipe size; or, assume the pipe size and the.flow-return ,, temperature difference .and find the head which the circulating pump must develop.
Solution.' Assume that the'circulating pump will develop a head of 2 ft or 24.000 . milinches and.that a 1 in. pipe is to be used. The equivalent length of the circuit will then be 45 ft, as in Fig. 8, and the available head will be 24,000-/45, or 533 milinches per foot. In Fig. 4; find 533 on the left scale, move horizontally to the intersection with
radiator is receiving its proper quantity of hot water and the system is functioning at a steady rate.
Two-Pip Gravity Circulation System
Example 8: Tn the system'shown in Fig. 11, water leaving the boiler may flow to any one of the three radiators. If the system is designed correctly, each radiator will receive its proper share of the hot water. Since Radiator 3 has the largest load and is also farthest from the boiler, it is the least favorably located with reference to circulation, and its circuit should be designed first. If the pipes leading to it are large enough, it will be easy to secure sufficient circulation for the other two radiators.
The system is to function with a 40 deg flow-return temperature difference. The head
for each radiator is 7 x 175 (Fig. 5), or 1225 milinches; the friction for each radiator
circuit must, therefore, also be 1225 milinches.
v
Solution. In order to design a radiator circuit accurately and systematically, the circuit should be divided into sections. The division points of sections must be .where the pipe sizes change or may change, and where the volume of water flowing in the pipe changes. The data relating to the several sections may be recorded as shown in Table 6.
Data recorded in Table 0 show that Circuit 3 consists of 70.4 ft of pipe and 21.5
elbow equivalents. Assuming that the average size of the pipe will be
in., the 21.5
elbow equivalents may be replaced by 21.5 x 2.6 (25/12 x 1.25 x 1.0), or 56 ft of pipe, which
would make the total equivalent length of the circuit 70.4 plus 56 or 126.4 ft of pipe,
and the average friction 1225/126.4. or about 10 milinches per foot. ;For this unit
friction and a temperature difference of 40 deg (see Fig. 4), a 1 in. pipe will-convey 18
Mbh, a
in. pipe, 37 Mbh, and a 1J^ in. pipe, 56 Mbh. The pipe sizes for the several
sections of Circuit 3 may be selected as indicated in Table 6. Having selected the pipe

sizes, the unit, friction may be found from Fig. 4 and the total friction calculated and
. recorded as shown in Table 6. If the grand total, in the present case 1192 milinches,..
differs materially from the available head, 1225 milinches, one or more of the pipe sizes'.'
must be changed and the calculation repeated until the total friction is practically equal
to the available head of i225 milinches.-. .. .
.
.
. It is not necessary, in the design of hot water heating systems, to be extremely careful to have the friction exactly equal to the available head, because a hot water heating . system has the ability to adjust itself to varying conditions of considerable magnitude. For example, in the present case, the calculated friction is 1192 milinches, or about 3 per ' cent less than the calculated available head; the water would, therefore, circulate a little faster than contemplated and the return temperature would be a little higher than 160 F.

This would immediately lower the head available for circulation and the balance with the
friction would occur at some point between 1192 and 1225 milinches.
.
Since it is generally not necessary to make extremely refined calculations, Table 1 may
often be used instead of the chart of Fig. 4 to determine pipe sizes. For example, in the
present case, Table 1 shows that for a friction of 10 milinches a 1^ in. pipe would convey
28 Mbh with a temperature difference of 20 deg or 56 Mbh with a temperature difference
of 40 deg.*. Since the 134 in- pipe in Fig. ,10 is to convey only 45 Mbh with a temperature-
difference of 40 deg, or only 22.5 with a temperature difference of 20 deg, it ,is evident
from the table that the* friction will be between,6 and 8 milinches. For 6 milinches the
heat conveyed is 21.2; and for 8 .milinches, it is 24.8; for 22.5 Mbh,.the friction would be estimated to be about 6i5, which would be sufficiently accurate for the present calculation.
Having completed the design of Circuit 3, it is simple to design Circuit 2 because it^
has four secticnsin common with Circuit 3 and it is only necessary to design Sections
5-2 and 2t8, as shown in Table 6, so that the total friction of Circuit 2 ..will be practically,
equal 'to the .total friction of Circuit 3. .
.
.
*
Hot-Water Heating Systems and, Piping
463
Having completed.the design of Circuit 2, it is.necessary to design Circuit 1,-as shown
in Table 6, so that its total friction willbe approximately equal to the total friction of the
' other two circuits since all three circuits have equal heads.
.
Two-Pipe Forced Circulation System
Example 4- In the design of a system for Fig. 12, as in the design of Example 2, there
are three unknowns--head, pipe size, and flow-return temperature difference, any two of
. which may be assumed and the third found. In the design of a system for Fig. 9, the
pressure head and the temperature difference were assumed and the pipe sizes found.
In this case, the head is to be found.
,
.
-
Solution. In selecting the temperature difference and the pipe sizes, it should be borne in mind that' the first cost of the radiation can be. reduced by reducing the tem perature difference and the first cost`of the pipe can be reduced, by increasing water velocity, but the friction is increased and, thus, the cost of pumping. The choice of temperature difference and pipe sizes which produce the greatest economy in first cost and in cost of operation can be determined after haying made two or three trial designs. For the first design, 20 deg will be selected as the temperature difference and the pipe
Fig. 12. Two-Pipe Forced Circulation System
sizes will be chosen as shown in Fig. 12. A calculation similar to that of Table 7 will
show that the friction-of Circuits 1, 2, and 3 will be, respectively, about 9000, 15,300,
and 14,300 milinches. To increase the friction of Circuit 1 from 9000 to 15,000 milinches
would require the insertion in the circuit of a section of' in. pipe, or an orifice resistor,
. or a regulating valve. However, this would cause unnecessary expense. The system .will
function well witlrthe pipe'system shown in Fig. 12. If the circulator maintains a head
of 15,300 milinches, the velocity in Circuit 1 will increase until the friction of the circuit
is also 15,300 milinches; i.e., its friction will be increased from the calculated 9000 to the
required 15,300, or 6300 milinches.
;' .
. . * .
.`
As calculated, ithe three radiators are to dissipate 10, 15, and 20 Mbh, respectively, with a temperature difference of 20 deg. Consequently, water must flow through these three radiators at the rates of 1,1.5, and 2 gpm', respectively. When water flows through a % in. pipe at the rate of 1 gpm; the velocity in the pipe is (Fig. 4) about 13 in. per second and the unit friction is 165 milinches. ' The equivalent length of sections 4-10; 10-1, 1-11, and 11-9 of this circuit is 50 ft, and its total friction is 8250. In order thatthe friction may be increased 6300 milinches, the unit friction must be increased 126 milinches; consequently, the velocity in the H in. pipe (Fig. 4) must be increased from 13 to 16 in. per second. Hence, when the friction* of-Circuit 1 has been increased to 15,300, water will flow'through Radiator l at the rate of 16 -5- 13, or 1.23 gpm. This increase in volume of water will increase the load on the circulating*pump in the propor tion of 450 to 473 and will increase the heat dissipation-of Radiator 1 slightly (about. 3 per cent) but otherwise will not affect the operation of the system. - ' ' ' '
One-Pipe Gravity Circulation System

,
Example 5. A one-pipe system is one in which the.cooled water from the heating units is returned to the supply main. ` A two-pipe system as shown in Figs. 11 and 12 is one in which the cooled water returns to the boiler through a separate return main.
464
CHAPTER 24
1946 Guide
Many large heating systems contain some one-pipe and some two-pipe sections. The
piping system shown in Fig. 13' functions with a flow-return temperature difference.of
40 deg.
'
'.
'
Solution. Since the four radiators are each to deliver 15 Mbh, and since the water is to leave the boiler at 200 F and return at 160 F, Radiator 1 will receive 200 F water, Radiator 2, 190 F water, Radiator 3, 180 F water, and Radiator 4, 170 F water. Since
the system is to supply 60 Mbh with a temperature difference of 40 deg and since 1 lb of water liberates 1 Btu when cooled 1 deg, it is necessary that water circulate through . this system at the rate of 60,000 '+ 40,* or 1,500 lb per hour, or 25 lb per minute. As suming one gallon of water to weigh 8.33 lb, water must circulate in the system at the. rate of 3 gpm. If the temperature difference were 20 deg instead of 40, the circulation would be at the rate of 6 gpm. It is well to remember that, with a temperature difference of 20 deg, water circulating at the rate of 1 gpm will convey heat at the rate of 10 Mbh. The chart of Fig. 4 shows the rate of circulation in gpm on the upper scale and the corresponding heat conveyance on the lower scale.
The system may be divided into 5 separate systems. Each of the four radiators, with

its flow and return lines constitutes an elementary heating system (similar to Example
1), and the flow main with its two risers is also a complete elementary system. .
.
If the center of the boiler is 4 ft below the center of the flow main, and if the flow,
riser contains 200 F water and the return riser 160 F water, the head for the main circuit
is (Fig. 5) 4 x 175, or 700 milinches. The circuit consists of 110 ft of pipe and 10 elbow
equivalents; its equivalent length is about 150 ft if a 2 in. pipe is used as the main. The average head will be 700 4- 150, or 4.7 milinches. According to Fig. 4 or Table 1 for
a 4.7 milinch friction, a 2 in. pipe will convey about 70 Mbh. Since the pipe is to convey
only 60 Mbh, it is slightly too large but should be used. The friction will,-then, be 3.5
milinches instead of the permissible 4.7. The water wilhcirculate with a temperature
. difference slightly less than 40 deg, and the three last radiators would receive water
slightly warmer than indicated in Fig. 13. '
.
As the water flows in the main and arrives at one of the four points marked A, the
flow will be divided and a portion of the water will take the short path in the.main to
the point B, and the remainder will take the long path through the radiator to the point
B. Since the two paths together offer less resistance to the flow than the one path alone,
the unit friction will be less than 3.5 milinches between .the points A and B. If the
distance from A to B is 4 ft, and if, for example, the flow in the short path is 2 gpm, the
head forcing the water along the two paths is 4 x 1.6, or about 6-railinches. Since the friction of the long path is much greater than the friction of the short path, only a com
paratively small portion of the water would take the long path. However,.the gravity
head of the radiator supplies, an additional head for the long path'. If the center of the
i1'{i
'radiator is 4 ft above the main and if the radiator circuit is designed for a temperature difference of 30 deg, the radiator head will be about 4 x 120, or 480 milinches.. In that
case, the head is 6 milinches for the short path and 486 milinches for the long path. The
. radiator circuit consists of 11 ft of pipe and about 14 elbow equivalents. If the circuit
"is of 1 in. pipe, its equivalent length is about 40 ft and the unit friction should be 486
-5- 40, or 12 milinches. For this friction and 30 deg temperature difference, a 1 in.
Hot Water Heating Systems and Piping

465
Fig. 13. One-Pipe Gravity Circulation System
pipe conveys about 15 Mbh (Fig. 4). A 1 in. pipe is, therefore, the correct size, and the water would flow through the radiator with a temperature difference of 30 deg.
Since each of the four radiators delivers one fourth of the total heat, and since the
total temperature difference is to be 40 deg, the water would cool 10'deg in every radiator
if all the water passed through every radiator. Since the water cools about 30 deg in
flowing through the. radiator only of the water flows through the radiator and %
flow'through the main from point_A to point B.
'
It follows from these calculations that, if the main is of 2 in. pipe arid the radiator
branches are of 1 in. pipe, water will circulate through the system at the rate of 3 gpm
with a temperature difference somewhat less than 40 deg and that, at the radiator con
nections,- water will circulate through the radiators at the rate of 1 gpm and that, conse
quently, between radiator branch connections the friction is less since only 2 gpm flow
through the main between those points.
.
One-Pip Forced Circulation System
Example 6. The system shown in Fig. 13 as a gravity circulation system may be changed to a forced circulation system by inserting a circulating pump as shown in Fig.
14. The location of the expansion tank should then be changed as indicated.
Solution. Ta design this system the pipe sizes and the temperature difference may
be assumed; for example, lj^ in. pipe may be selected for the main and % in. pipe for
thge radiator branches and risers, and 20 deg as the flow-return temperature difference.
Since the system is to deliver 60 Mbh with a temperature difference of 20 deg, the pump
must circulate 60 -5* 10, or 6 gpm.
..
For this load, the unit friction for a
in. pipe is 86 milinches. The main circuit
consists of 110 ft of pipe and 10 elbow equivalents and may be placed equal to 136 ft
of in. pipe. -The total friction for the main circuit is 136 x 86, or 11,696 milinches, or '
practically 1 ft for a flow of 6 gpm.
At the points A, a portion of the water will be diverted through the radiator circuit,

- and as a result less than 6 gpm will flow in the main between the points A and 2?,.and
the friction will be slightly less than 86 milinches per foot between these points. But the
difference will be so small that it may be neglected and the total friction from A to B as
sumed to be 4x86, or 344 milinches. The head forcing the water through the radiator cir
cuit will then be 344 milinches. The radiator circuit consists of 11 ft of pipe and about 14
elbow equivalentsand maybe placed equal,to32ftof pipe and the head 344 -5- 32, or about
11 milinches per foot. With this head, a % in. pipe will convey about 5 Mbh (Fig. 4),
or 0.5 gpm. Hence, only 5 -r 60, or about 8 per cent of the water, would flow through
' the radiator, if the radiator's gravity head is not considered. The water would, then,
have to cool 60 deg in order to deliver 15 Mbh, and the average radiator temperature
would be 170 if the water entered at 200. This would require a large radiator and result
in an unsatisfactory installation.
.
;-
.
'
To secure a larger flow of water through the radiator it is necessary to increase the . friction of the short path A-B in the main. This may. be done by inserting special
resistance tees at points A and B, or by inserting an orifice resistor between points A and
' B, or by reducing the 1% in/main between the points A and B to the next smaller size,
i.e. 1 in.
.
.
The relative quantity of water flowing through the radiator may then be found by trial calculations. Assume, first, that 1 gpm will flow through the radiator and 5 gpm
through the main. The friction for l.gpm and a % in. pipe is 40 milinches per foot, or,
. 32 x 40,. or 1280 for the radiator circuit.
' The main'circuit consists of 4 ft of 1 in. pipe and two reducing tees. The two reducing
tees may be placed equal to 0.8 elbow equivalents (Table 4), and the equivalent length
of the main circuit equal to 5.7 ft.
, .
' The friction for 5 gpm and a 1 in. pipe is 240 milinches per foot, or 5.7 x 240, or 1370 milinches for the main circuit. Since this is only slightly more than the calculated
friction for the radiator circuit, it is evident that the flow through the radiator will be slightly more than l gpm, and it is not necessary to make a second trial calculation. The quantity of water flowing through the radiator can be varied by varying the distance between the points A and B, where the radiator branches join the main. . '
In order to deliver 15 Mbh to the radiator with a temperature difference of 20 deg, it is necessary that 1.5 gpm flow through the radiator; since, in this case, the flow through, the radiator is only 1 gpm, the temperature difference must be 30 deg.
.If the water enters the radiator at 190 F, the average water temperature will be .175 F. The quantity of water circulating through the radiator may be varied con siderably without an appreciable effect on the quantity of heat dissipated by the radiator. This is evident from the following calculation.
Assume that Radiator 2 has been designed so that it will dissipate 15 Mbh when its flow of water is at the rate of 1 gpm, and when its average temperature is 175 F. -Assume
Hot Water Heating Systems and Piping
467
that the flow of. water is increased 50 per cent--from 1 gpm to 1.5 gpm. The water will then flow through the radiator in two-thirds the time and will cool two-thirds as much; i.e., it will cool 20 deg instead of 30 deg, and the average radiator temperature will be 180 F instead.of 175 F. If the surrounding temperature is 70 F, the temperature.dif-. ferences, radiator and surroundings, will be 110 and 115 deg, respectively. Consequently,' the heat dissipation will be increased only about 6 per cent when the quantity of water flowing through the radiator is increased 50 per cent.
By decreasing the main from V/i to 1 in. between radiator branches while the flow is
decreased from 6 to 5 gpm, the friction in that section of the main is increased from 344
to 1370 milinches, or 926 milinches. Hence, for the four radiator sections the increase is
3704 milinches, and the total friction for the circuit will be 11,696 plus 3704, or 15.4 in.
instead of 11.7 in. as first calculated. The pump must, therefore, circulate 6 gpm against
a head of 1.3 ft.
'
.
Reversed and Direct Return Systems
In a reversed return system the radiators are connected so that all
circuits are practically of equal length and so that the water flowing
through the radiator nearest the boiler must travel practically as far as
the water flowing through the radiator farthest from the boiler, as illus
trated in Fig. 15. In a direct return system the radiators are connected
so that all.water returns to the boiler along the most direct path after it
has passed through its.radiator, as illustrated in Fig. 16. .
'
Example 7. In Fig. 15, sixteen air conditioning units, each demanding 450 Mbh, are to be supplied with water from a central plant. The system is divided into two equal parts as shown. Each part supplies eight units and has, therefore, eight circuits. The total length of each of the eight circuits is about 1170 ft.
Solution. If the total friction is to be about 15 ft, the unit friction must be about 150 milinches per foot. With this preliminary estimate, pipe sizes may be selected from > Fig. 4 and recorded with corresponding calculations as shown in Table 7 for Circuit 8, from which it appears that the friction of this circuit is 188,570 milinches, or 15.7 ft.
In order that each of the eight air conditioning units may receive an equal supply of
water, the.frictioh of each of the remaining circuits must also be 15.7 ft. Since all pipe
sizes have been selected as shown in Example 6, any adjustments that may be necessary
must be made in the connections from the main through the air conditioning unit and.
back to the main. For Circuit 8 the friction through the air conditioning unit was
assumed to be 20,000. milinches. For Circuit 4, for example, a tabular calculation like
that for Circuit 8 shows that the friction for Section 4-12 must be 19,700 milinches in
order that the total friction may be 15.7.
.
' .
This is practically equal to the 20,000'milinches assumed for Circuit 8 and this shows how simple it is to secure well-balanced circuits in a reversed return.system.
Example 8. The .direct return, forced circulation system shown in Fig.-16 is similar
to Fig. 15, except that the water passing through Unit 1 returns directly to the boiler
and the total length of this circuit is about 130 ft, whereas, the total length of Circuit 8
is about 1990 ft, or about 15 times as long.
'.
`
.
Solution. The design must begin with Circuit 8. The calculations for this circuit if
tabulated as shown for Circuit 8 of Fig. 15 will show that the total friction is 318,200 . milinches, or 26.5 ft, as compared with 15.7 ft for the reversed return system.
In order that each of the eight units will receive its correct share of the water, the friction of each of the other seven circuits must also be 26.5 ft- .For Circuit 1, for ex ample, the total friction for Section 0-1 and 16-17 is 15,600 milinches; hence, the friction in Section 1-16 (through the air conditioning unit) must be 302,600 milinches, or 25.15 ft to prevent Unit 1 having an advantage over Unit 8.
Comparing the reversed return system of Fig. 15 with the direct return system of
Fig., 16 it appears that the head against which the pump must deliver the 720 gpm is
15.7 ft as compared with 26.5 ft for the direct return and that the installation of the
reversed return would require 130 ft of 8 in. pipe not necessary for the direct'return
system. The friction in the lines joining the pump to the pipe system shown in Figs.
15 and 16 is not included in this calculation.

Heat Emission of Radiators and Convectors, Types of Radi ators, Convectors, Radiator and Convector Ratings, Effect of Operating Conditions, Heating Effect, Heating Up the Radi
ator and Convector, Enclosed Radiators
THE accepted terms for heating units are: (1) radiators, for direct surface heating units, either exposed, enclosed, or shielded, which emit a large percentage of their heat by radiation; and (2) convectors, for heating units having a large percentage of extended fin surface and which emit heat principally by convection. Convectors are dependent upon enclosures to provide the circulation by gravity of large volumes of air.'
HEAT EMISSION OF RADIATORS AND CONVECTORS
Most heating units emit heat by radiation and convection. The re sultant heat from these processes depends upon whether or not the heating
unit is exposed or enclosed and upon the contour and surface charac
teristics of the material in the units.
An exposed radiator emits roughly half of its heat' by radiation, the amount depending upon the size and number of sections. When the radiator is enclosed or shielded, the proportion of radiation is further
reduced. The balance of the emission is by conduction to the air in con
tact with the heating surface, and the resulting circulation of the air
warms by convection.
.
~ A convector emits practically all of its heat by'conduction to the air
surrounding it and this heated air is in turn transmitted by convection to the rooms or spaces to be warmed, the heat emitted by radiation being
negligible.
.
The output of a radiator can be measured only by the heat it emits. The old standard of comparison used to be square feet of actual surface, but since the advance in radiator design and proportions, the surface area
,, alone is not a true index of output. (The engineering unit of output is the Mbh or 1000 Btu per hour.) However, during the period of transition, from the old to the new, radiators may be referred to in terms of equivalent square feet. For steam service this is based on. an emission of 240 Btu
per (hour) (square foot) and for hot water service 150 Btu.
TYPES OF RADIA' TOR\S
.
Present day radiators may be classified as tubular, wall, or window
type and are generally made of cast-iron. Only the small-tube type of
tubular radiators with a spacing of 1% in. per section are now available,
' the large-tube type which had a spacing of 2J^ in. per section having
been discontinued. Small-tube radiators occupy less space and are
particularly suited for installation in recesses.
After a complete study of the demand for various sizes of radiators, the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manufacturers, in cooperation with the Division of Simplified Practice, National Bureau of Standards, established Simplified Practice Recommendation R174-43 for small-tube cast-iron radiators. Table 1 shows the size and dimensions of small-tube cast-iron
radiators' which are being manufactured at the present time.
Wall radiators are now rated in terms of equivalent square feet, the same as small-tube radiators. Tests have shown that the heat emitted

The square foot of equivalent direct steam radiation is defined as the ability to emit 240 Btu per hour,
with steam at 215 F, in air of 70 F. These ratings apply only to installed radiators exposed in a normal
manner: not to radiators installed behind enclosures, grilles, etc. (See A.S.H.V.E. Code for Testing Radi-
" ators adopted January, 1927.)

from a wall-type radiator may be reduced from 5 to 10 per cent if the
radiator is placed near the ceiling with the bars horizontal and in an air
temperature exceeding 70 F. When radiators are placed near the ceiling,
there is usually such a large difference in the temperature between the
floor level and the ceiling that it becomes, difficult to heat the living zone
. of the room satisfactorily.

'
Pipe coils are assemblies of standard pipe or tubing (1 in. to 2 in.) which are used as radiators. In older practice these coils were commonly used in factory buildings, but now wall-type radiators are most frequently used for this servicer When coils are used, the miter type assembly is to be preferred as it best cares for expansion in the pipe. Cast manifolds or headers, known as branch tees, are available for this construction.
The heat emission of pipe coils placed vertically on a wall with the pipes horizontal is given in Table 2. This has been developed from avail-

the heat emission varies as the height of the coil. The heat emission of
each pipe of ceiling coils, placed horizontally, is about 126 Btu, 156 Btu,
and .175 Btu per linear foot of pipe, respectively, for 1-in., lj^-in., and
li^-in. coils.
'
' , CONVECTORS
Cast-iron radiators may be concealed in a cabinet or other enclosure for appearance. In such cases a greater percentage of heat is conveyed to the room by convection thereby resulting in a form of gravity convector. A typical recessed convector is shown in Fig. 1. The heating element consisting of a large percentage of fin surface is usually shallow in depth and placed low in the enclosure in order to produce maximum chimney ' effect in the enclosure. The air enters the enclosure' near the floor line just below the heating element, is moderately heated in passing through
Fig. 1. Typical Recessed Convector
the core and delivered to the room through an opening hear the top of
enclosure. Since the air can only enter the enclosure at the floor line, the
cooler air in the room, which always lies at this level, is constantly being
withdrawn and replaced by the warmer air. This air movement accom
plishes the-desired reduction in temperature differentials and assures
. maximum comfort in the living zone. ..
'.
Concealed heaters or convectors are generally available as completely built-in units'. The enclosing cabinet should be designed with suitable air inlet and outlet grilles to give the heating element its best performance. Tables of capacities are cataloged for various lengths, depths and heights, ; and combinations are available in several styles for installations, such as the wall-hung type, free-standing floor type, recess type set flush with wall or offset, and the completely concealed type. Most of these types may be arranged with a topi outlet grille in a plane parallel with the floor, although the front outlet is practically standard. In cases where enclosures are to . be used but are not furnished by the heater manufacturer, it is important that the proportions of the cabinet and the grilles be so designed: that they ' ' Will not impair the performance of the assembled convector. It is desirable that the enclosure or housing for the convector fit as snugly as possible
' Radiators and Convectors
471
so that the air to be heated must pass through the convector and cannot
be by-passed in .the enclosure.
*
. The output of a convector, for any given length and depth, is a function . of the height. Published ratings are generally given in terms of equiva lent square feet, corrected for heating effect. However, an extended surface heating unit is entirely different structurally and physically- from a direct radiator and, since it has no area measurement corresponding to . the heating surface of a radiator, many engineers believe that the per formance of convectors should be stated in Btu. For steam convectors, as for radiators, 240 Btu per hour may be taken as an equivalent square
foot of radiation. When more than one heating unit is used, one mounted . above the other in the same cabinet, the output of the upper unit or units will be materially less than that of the bottom unit.
RADIATOR AND CONVECTOR RATINGS
A standard method of testing radiators was adopted by the A.S.H.V.E.
in 1927 *. This Code provides for a standard test room, the' temperature
of which is to be maintained at 70 F, measured in the center of the room at .
an elevation of 5 ft above the floor. The steam temperature in the radi-;
. ator is to.be 215 F, which corresponds to 15.6 ib per square inch absolute.
The weight of condensate per hour, under, these standard conditions,
multiplied by the difference in the enthalpy of the steam entering the
radiator and that of the condensate leaving the radiator, gives the radiator
output in Btu per hour. This output divided by 240 gives the steam
rating of the radiator in square feet.
.'
Similar test methods for convectors are the A.S.H.V.E. Codes for -
Testing and Rating Concealed Gravity Type Radiation 2, (Steam Code
1932 and Hot Water Code 1933). These Codes recognize a different type
of test booth, and the air temperature used is that of the air entering the
convector casing instead of the temperature in the center of the room..
' The entering air temperature for standard test conditions is 65 F. For
hot water the'standard test conditions call for a mean temperature of the.
water in the convector of 170 F.
..
The Convector Manufacturers Association has adopted the A.S.H.V.E.
standard in the formulation of its ratings and. has compiled a tentative
standard of heating effect allowances for various enclosure heights to be
included in the ratings by its members.
.
All published ratings bearing the title C.M.C. Ratings (Convector Manu
facturers Certified Ratings) indicate that the convectors have been tested
in accordance with the A.S.H.V.E. Code by an impartial and disinterested
laboratory and that the ratings have been approved by the Standardiza
tion Committee of the Convector Manufacturers Association. .
.
' Effect of Operating Conditions
.-
'
;
The heat output of a radiator is proportional to the 1.3 power of the temperature difference between the air in the room at the 60 in. level and the heating medium in the radiator. The heat output of a convector is
proportional to. the 1.5 power of the temperature difference between the . air entering the convector and the heating medium, steam or hot water,
within the convector3. For hot water the arithmetical average between entering and leaving water temperatures is used. These laws may be expressed as correction factors to change from output under standard

Heating Effect
-
For several years the term heating effect has been used to designate the relation between the useful output of a radiator, in the comfort zone of a room, and the total input as measured by steam condensation or water temperatures *10. The application of such a heating effect factor is a recog nition that some radiators and convectors use. less steam than others forproducing equal comfort heating results in the room.
No standard method for evaluating the heating effect of radiators and convectors and correlating it with comfort has yet been accepted. One method, with test data11 on radiators and convectors, and making use of the eupatheoscope for evaluating the environment produced, has been suggested by the University of Illinois. The principle underlying the eupatheoscope involves the measurement of the heat loss from a sizable. .

to a rate of 0:24 lb. In practice the rate of steam-supply to the heating' unit, while heating up, is frequently retarded by controlled elimination of air through air valves or traps. Automatic control valves may also retard the supply of steam. Vacuum types of air venting valves, may be used to reduce the length of the venting periods. '
ENCLOSED RADIATORS
The general effect of an enclosure placed about a direct radiator is to restrict the air flow, diminish the radiation and, when properly designed, improve the heating effect. Investigations10 indicate that in the design of the enclosure three things should be considered:
1. There should be better distribution of the heat below the breathing line level to produce greater heating comfort anil lowered ceiling temperatures..

.
3. The .larger portion of the floor-to-ceiling temperature differential in a room of
average ceiling height heated with direct radiators occurs between the floor and the
breathing level.
.
4. The comfort level (approximately 2 ft-6 in. above floor) is below the breathing line level (approximately 5 ft-4) in. above floor), and temperatures taken at the breathing line may not be indicative of the actual heating effect of a radiator in the room.. The comfort-indicating temperature should be taken below the breathing line level.
5. High column radiators placed at the sides of window openings do not produce as comfortable heating effects as long, low, direct radiators placed beneath windows.
HEATING UP THE RADIATOR AND CONVECTOR

A comparison between a bare or exposed radiator (A) and the same. . radiator with a well-designed enclosure (B), with a poorly-designed
enclosure (C), and with a cloth cover (D) will illustrate the relative heating effects. In Fig. 4 the curve (B) reveals that the enclosed radiator used less steam than the exposed radiator, but gave a satisfactory heating performance. A well-designed shield placed over a radiator gives about the same heating effect. Curve (C) shows the unsatisfactory effects produced by improperly-designed enclosures. Curve (D) shows that the . effect of a cloth cover extending downward 6 in. from the top of the.' radiator was to make the performance unsatisfactory and - inadequate.
Some commercial enclosures and shields for use on direct radiators are equipped with water pans for the purpose of adding moisture, to the air in the .room. Tests 17 show that ah average evaporative rate of- about
0.235' lb per square foot of water surface per hour may be obtained from V

such pans; when the radiator is steam hot and the relative humidity in the
room, is between 25 and 40 per cent. This source of supply of moisture
alone is not adequate to maintain a relative humidity above 25 per cent
on a zero day.

DESCRIPTIONS of heating, cooling, ventilating, humidifying, and dehumidifying systems are given in other chapters. This chapter deals with unit heaters, unit ventilators, and unit humidifiers. Cooling units, unit air conditioners, and attic fans are described in Chapter 36.
Definitions
'.
The generally accepted meaning of the word unit in the terms unit heaters, unit ventilators and unit humidifiers is that of. a factory made, encased assembly of the functional elements indicated by its name. Such units can be shipped complete or in sections so that the only field, work necessary is the assembling of the sections, providing proper sup ports and connecting the unit to sources of heat (or-fuel), power and water supply, and, if necessary, to vent pipes for combustion gases.
The term unit heater describes an assembly of elements whose principal
function is heating. The essential elements of a' unit heater are a fan
and motor, a heater, a housing, and outlet vanes or diffusers.
.
The term unit ventilator describes an assembly whose principal function is to ventilate. It may serve to circulate air within the space, or to intro duce air from without the space, or may accomplish both purposes. The essential elements of a unit ventilator are a fan and motor, a heater, a set of dampers, a housing and outlet vanes or diffusers. ...
The term unit humidifier describes an assembly of elements whose principal function is to humidify. The essential element of a unit humid ifier is an atomizer or evaporator. To this may be added a fan, a heater, outlet vanes or diffusers, and a housing to enclose the various parts.
Classification
.
UNIT HEATERS
.'
.
-
The various types of unit heaters which are at present available can usually be classified according to one of the three following methods:
1. By type of heater. Under this classification there are three types of
heating elements to be considered: (a) the steam or hot water type, (b)
the electric type, and (c) the direct fired type which may be gas, oil, or coal
fired'.
,'
2. By type offan. Under this classification there are two types of fans
to be considered: (a) the propeller type ` which may be equipped with a
horizontal or vertical shaft, and (b) the centrifugal type. which may be
designed for horizontal or vertical blow.
.
3. By arrangement of elements. . Under this classification there are two types of heaters to be considered: (a) the draw-through type, in which the
' 477 '
'
478
CHAPTER 26
.1946, Guide
fan draws air through, and (b) the blow-through, type, in which the fan
. blows air through the heater. '
.'
. Unit heaters are available in any combination of the three preceding
general classifications. For example, the steam or hot water type may
be secured with either the propeller or centrifugal type of fans, and in
either the draw-through or blow-through type.
.
Unit heaters also vary in other minor respects. For example, steam and return inlets and outlets may be located on the top and bottom respectively or on the same side of the unit. Some units are supported by the piping and some have independent supports. The heating surface of steam or water type units is generally made up of a non-ferrous tube . and-fin assembly; or it may be fabricated of steel, or cast in steel.
Application of Unit Heaters
.. . '
` Unit heaters are used principally for commercial and industrial appli
cations such as garages, factories, laboratories, etc. They may also be
used for heating finished rooms, if properly applied and concealed and if
' some consideration is given to the problem of noise. '
'
Unit heaters may also be adapted to a number of industrial processes,
such as drying and curing,- in which the use of heated ajr in rapid circu
lation with uniform'distribution is of particular advantage. They may be
used for moisture absorption, such as fog removal in dye houses, or for the
prevention of condensation oh ceilings or other cold surfaces of buildings
in which process moisture is released. . When such conditions are severe,
it is necessary that the unit heaters draw air from outside in enough
volume to provide a rapid air change and that they operate in conjunction
with.ventilators or fans for exhausting the moisture-laden air. See dis
cussion of condensation in Chapter. 6.
.
There are three major factors to consider in the application of unit
heaters, namely: (1) location of unit, (2) air distribution, and (3)
heating medium.
'
.
There are a variety of applications which are favorable to the use of
electric unit heaters. For supplemental heat in residence bath rooms, for
the heating of. ticket booths, watchmen's offices, factory offices, locker
rooms and other isolated rooms scattered over large areas, their use is
peculiarly adaptable. They are. particularly useful in isolated and
unattended pumping stations or pits where they may be thermostatically
controlled to prevent freezing temperatures.
.
Gas fired unitheaters find application in industrial plants, offices, stores,
garages, in fact in almost every location where steam type units are used.
The installation cost of gas fired units is usually less than that of a type
requiring that a new boiler be installed.
. ... .
Oil fired unit heaters are used in industrial plants, garages and com
mercial buildings.
. ' r' , \
Coal fired unit heaters are of finned, welded steel,' or cast-iron construc
tion and equipped with centrifugal blowers. They are usually stoker-
fired to insure proper firing of fuel. They are used principally in large,
industrial plants such as foundries or'assembly plants, and provide a
very economical source of heat, both from the installation and the
operating standpoint.
.'
.-
.Outlet Velocities
'
. Outlet , velocities of unit heaters vary from about .400 to 2500 fpm depending upon the type of unit and the distance to which the air is to be
. .Unit Heaters, Unit Ventilators, Unit Humidifiers________________

. projected. Noise and. drafts must be considered in the choice of air
velocities, since both increase with increase of air velocity.
.
Velocities and decibel ratings for the various types of. unit heaters
illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are given in Table 1.
. .
In the selection of unit heaters it is important not to exceed the throw
for which the unit was designed.'
.
These are dependent to a marked, degree on the temperature of air leaving the heater as well as upon velocities. See discussion under heading of Inlet, Outlet, and Space Temperatures with Unit Heaters. .

drafts, it is common practice to equip unit heaters with directional out lets, adjustable louvers or fixed types of diffusers.
RATINGS OF UNIT HEATERS
It is standard practice to rate unit heaters on the basis of the amount of heat delivered by the air in Btu per hour above an entering air tern- perature of 60 F. This applies to all types of unit heaters, the steam or hot water type, the electric type and the direct fired type. There are, however, other factors'which must be taken into account, especially when an attempt is made to compare one type of heater with another. These are the temperature of the heating element and the velocity of air. through it. Consideration is given to these factors in the discussion of ratings for each-type of unit heater in the following paragraphs.
Ratings for Steam Type
The fating of steam type unit heaters has been standardized by a code 2
in which the following items are the basis of rating: dry saturated steam . at'2 psig pressure (29-92 in. Hg barometric pressure) at the heater
coil; air at 60 F entering the heater; and heater operating free of external
resistance to air flow.
..
The capacity of a heater increases as the steam pressure increases, and
decreases as the entering air temperature increases. The heating capacity for any condition of steam pressure and entering air temperature other
than standard may be calculated approximately from any given rating-
by the use of factors in Tables 2 and 3- Table.2 is used for the blow-
through type and Table 3 for the draw-through type of unit.
'
Ratings for Hot Water Type
.
A standard for the rating of hot water type unit heaters has also been established by code 5 in, which the following items are the basis of rating:

entering water at 200 F; entering air at 60 F (29.92 in. Hg barometric pressure); and heater operating free of external resistance to air flow. This code also prescribes a method of translating the output in Btu and the temperature rise as-obtained under test conditions to standard conditions of air and water temperature.
Ratings for Electric Type
Electric type unit heaters are usually limited in size to a maximum of
about 9 kw capacity. They consist of resistance type heating elements
combined with fan and motor, together with a suitable casing. Electric
unit heaters are made in the built-in-wall model, suspension model, and
free-standing or portable model.
Electric unit heaters are rated on the energy input to the heater, expressed in terms of kilowatts, Btu or EDR. Quite often all three ratings are given in paralleljColumns in the catalogs.
Ratings for Gas Fired Type
Gas fired type unit heaters are built with either the propeller or centri fugal type fans. They are available in a wide range of sizes from 45,000 to 1,650,000 output capacity and in suspended or floor models.
Gas fired unit heaters are usually rated in terms of both input and
output according to the approval requirements of the American Standards
Association.
- ....
.
Ratings for Oil Fired Type
'
The oil fired type of unit heater is usually equipped with the centrifugal type of fan only and can be secured in sizes ranging from 125,000 to 1.650.000 Btu per hour output capacity in standard units. It is furnished in either the floor mounted or in smaller sizes, in the suspended type.
Ratings for Coal Fired Type
.
The stoker fired type of unit heater can be secured in ranges of from 300.000 to 6,000,000 (or more) Btu per hour output capacity. Ratings are based upon the delivered output at the heater outlet.
Effect of Resistance Upon Capacity
Unit heaters are customarily rated as free delivery type units. If out side air intakes, air filters, or ducts on the discharge side are used with the unit, a reduction in air and heating capacity will result because of this added resistance. The percentage of this reduction in capacity will depend upon the characteristics of the heater and on- the type, design and speed of the fans, so that no specific percentage reduction can be assigned for all heaters at a given added resistance. In general, however, propeller fan type units will experience a larger reduction in capacity than, housed centrifugal fan units for a given added resistance and a given heater will have a larger reduction in capacity as the fan-speed is lowered. The heat output to be expected under other than free delivery conditions should be secured from the manufacturer.
- Inlet Outlet and Space Temperatures with Unit Heaters .
In the selection of unit heaters for any particular design, consideration should be given to the temperature of air entering the heaters as well as - the temperature to be maintained in the working zone of the space. In

differences than low discharge velocity units. Correspondingly, units
with lower discharge air temperature will maintain lower temperature
differences than units with higher discharge temperatures. Directional
control of the discharged air from a unit heater can be an important
factor, added to qualities of reasonably good outlet velocity and outlet
.. temperature, in effecting satisfactory distribution of heat and restraining
floor-to-ceiling temperature difference.
'
When some outside air is introduced, the temperature of the mixture
' of outside, and recirculating air must be calculated and used as the
entering air temperature at the heater. Unit heaters connected in this
manner perform the function of unit ventilators. For a discussion of this
function see the section of this chapter entitled Unit Ventilators.
,
For recirculating heaters located at the floor or with intakes at the floor,
the temperature of air entering the heater should be assumed to be the
same as that to be maintained in the room itself.
Automatic Control of Unit Heaters
,.
Thermostatic control of unit heaters may be accomplished by starting
and stopping the.fan or by controlling the flow of heat to the heating
element. If the fan is controlled, it is advisable to provide a thermostat
on the return from the heater so as to prevent the fan from starting until
the heating element is heated throughout.
Unit heaters may be used in the summer time as a'means of circulating the air to give some measure of comfort due to air motion. In such cases the heating element should be shut off from the source of heat by closing . the steam valve to the heating element, and also the return line thermo stat should be provided with a by-pass switch, which upon being closed . will permit the fan to be operated independently of the heating element.
Location of Unit Heaters
Unit heaters should not be located in a corner or placed close to a wall, since the full effect of the unit will not be available under such conditions if the circulation of air is impeded. The best arrangement is to locate units so that they discharge air nearly parallel to exterior walls, and in a direction which will produce a rotational circulation around the room. This is preferable to directing the discharge against the outside walls.
Various types and makes of unit heaters are illustrated in the Catalog Data Section of this edition. As hot blasts of air in working zones are usually objectionable, heaters mounted on the floor should have their discharge outlets above the head line and suspended heaters should be placed in such manner and turned in such direction that the heated air stream will not be objectionable in the working zone. In the interest of . economy, however, the elevation of the heater outlet and the direction of discharge should be so arranged that the heated air shall be brought as close above the head line as'possible, yet not into the working zone.
In connection with the use of vertical type unit heaters, care must be exercised in the selection of the heater. It has been found that the higher ' the unit is placed above the floor, the lower must be the outlet tempera ture of the air leaving the heater in order that the heated air may be forced into the occupied zone.

PIPING CONNECTIONS FOR STEAM UNIT HEATERS
Piping connections for steam unit heaters are similar to those for other types of fan blast heaters. The piping of unit heaters must conform1 strictly to the system requirements while at the same time permitting the heaters themselves to function as intended. The basic piping principles for steam systems are discussed in Chapter 23.
Rapid condensation of steam, especially during heating-up periods, is

characteristic of this type of equipment. The return piping must be planned to keep the heating coil free of rapid condensation, while the
steam piping must be ample to carry a full supply of steam to the unit to
take the place of that condensed. Adequate sizes of piping are especially
essential where a unit heater fan is operated under, start-and-stop control
and where all or part of the air is taken from the outside. In such instal
lations the condensation rate may vary rapidly and the necessity for
ample pipe capacity is particularly important.
. A method of connecting a unit heater to a-one-pipe gravity system is
illustrated in Fig. 5. In cases where the return main is located above the
boiler water line, an artificial water line must be created by providing an
equalizing loop to prevent steam passing into the return and. thus into
other units.
..

receiver, is shown in Fig. 6. The traps must , pass air and condensate %
rapidly to keep the return piping partially full of water.
. ''
Since' unit heaters are often constructed with sufficient strength, the use of high pressure steam in them is a common practice. ' As shown in Fig. 7 the condensate and air reach-the return overhead through traps, and check valves are located in the return piping. It is, however, prefer able to locate the high pressure return below the heater. .
For two-pipe closed gravity return systems, the return from each unit should be fitted with a heavy duty or blast trap, and an automatic air . valve should be connected into the return header of each unit heater. Provisions must be made to compensate for the pressure drop by elevating the unit heater above the water line of the boiler or of the receiver.
In pump and receiver systems the air may be eliminated by individual
air valves on the heaters, or it may be carried into the returns as in
vacuum systems and the entire return system be free-vented to the
atmosphere, provided all units, drip points, and radiation are properly
trapped to prevent steam entering the returns.
'
On vacuum or open vent systems the'return from each unit should be fitted with a large capacity trap to discharge the water of condensation and with a thermostatic air valve for eliminating the air, or with a heavyduty trap for handling both the condensation and the air, provided the air finally can be eliminated at some other point in the return system.
For high pressure systems the same kind of traps may be used as with
vacuum systems, except that they must be constructed for the pressure
used. . If the air is to be eliminated at the return header of the unit, a
high pressure air valve can be used; otherwise the air may be passed with
the condensate through the high-pressure return trap, with its elimination -
at some other point in the system.
.

. air vent is not required if main is above heater and air can be eliminated
through the piping system.
.
BOILER CAPACITY FOR STEAM UNIT HEATERS
. The capacity of the boiler should be based on the rated capacity of the unit heaters at the lowest entering air temperature and highest fan speed that will occur, plus an allowance for pipe line losses. It is unwise to install a single unit heater as the sole load on any boiler, particularly if the unit heater motor is started and stopped by thermostatic control.
The wide and sudden fluctuations of load that occur under such con-, ditions would require closer attention to the boiler than is usually possible
. in a small installation. Where oil or gas is used to fire the boiler, it is possible by means of a pressurestat to control' the boiler, in response to
this rapid fluctuation. In most cases, and particularly where the boiler is coal-fired, it is advisable to use two or more smaller unit heaters instead of one large unit.'
Steam pressures below 5 lb can be used with safety for recirculating unit heaters when their heating surfaces are designed for those pressures, and when proper provision is made for returning the condensate. If units admit air that may be at a temperature below freezing, a steam pressure of not less than 5 lb should be maintained on the heating element, or a corresponding differential in pressure between the supply and returns should be maintained by means of a vacuum. '
UNIT VENTILATORS
.
Unit ventilators are similar in principle to unit heaters, except that they are provided with an arrangement of dampers for introducing out- . door and recirculated air in varying quantities. In general, they are obtainable only in the steam type, but unit heaters of all types may be adapted to the unit ventilator principle by the addition of outdoor air and recirculating dampers. Unit ventilators are used to supply air with a . discharge temperature at or slightly higher than room temperature. Also , they are provided with an arrangement for introducing outdoor and recirculated air in varying quantities. If the unit is only'used for circu' lating air, then radiators or some other equipment must be provided for . heating the room. Unit ventilators are intended primarily for schools, offices, and semi-commercial establishments. Unit ventilators may be of . the radiator controlled or damper controlled type and of the blow-through or draw-through type as illustrated in Fig. 9. A roof ventilator used for exhausting air is sometimes termed a unit ventilator. For information
on roof ventilators, see Chapter 9.
Ratings
.-
Unit ventilators of the steam type are customarily cataloged with two ratings, one the input and the other the output capacity. The first is the .heat input to the unit which is determined by measuring the temperature^ and quantity of condensate and the pressure and quality of the steam. , The second is the heat output of the unit which is determined by measur ing the quantity of air delivered and the temperature of the air to and -from the unit. Table 4 shows the air handling capacities by the two methods of rating6 and also the approximate heating data. In accordance'
with the A.S.H.V.E. Standard Code for Testing and Rating Steam

unit and with the standard louver and grille on the outlet.
-
The Standard Basis of Rating shall be as follows:
'
o. Dry saturated steam at a temperature at the unit corresponding to an absolute
pressure of 16.7 psi (218.5 F).

a. Inlet temperature, Fahrenheit degrees. b. Final temperature, Fahrenheit degrees.
' c. Total EDR at the specified entering temperature. d. Surplus or heating EDR at the specified entering temperature.
Surplus or Heating Equivalent Direct Radiation for the purposes of this code shall be construed to mean difference between the total EDR at a specified inlet temperature and the EDR required to heat the air from that temperature to 70 F.
. If no direct heating surface (radiation) is installed to take care of the normal heat transfer losses, and the unit ventilator is to be used for both
.. heating and ventilation, then the combined requirements must be taken care of by the unit ventilator. ,

Heat Required for Ventilating Only
When all of the air handled by the unit is taken from the outside, the total heat to be supplied is obtained by means of Equations 1, 2, 3, and 4.

(1)
Hy = 0.24 W (t - to)

.
to = outside temperature, Fahrenheit degrees.
h = temperature of the air leaving the unit, Fahrenheit degrees. W = weight of air circulated, pounds per hour.
'
.
, 0.24 = specific heat of air at constant pressure.
Example 1. The heat loss of a certain room is 24,000 Btu per hour, and the ventilating requirements are 1000 cfm. If the room temperature is to be 70 F and all air is taken from the outside at zero, what will be the total heat demand on the unit if it is required to provide for both the heating and ventilating requirements (combined system)?
Solution. - Substituting in Equation 5:
'
-
Ht = 24,000 + 0.24 X 0.075 X 60 X 1000 (70 - 0) = 99,600 Btu per hour .

If the heat loss of the room is to be taken care of by the direct heating' surface, the unit ventilators will be required to warm the air introduced for the ventilating requirements. Therefore:

(6)
In this case ty should be equal to or slightly higher than t. If the unit ventilator were of such capacity as to provide exactly for the ventilating requirements, the direct radiation would be selected on the usual basis.-

CHAPTER 26

However, it is necessary to employ a unit which-may not-exactly meet the ventilating requirements, since standard units are usually rated in terms of the volume of air that will be delivered at a certain' temperature ty for
an initial temperature of t0., Therefore a certain amount of heat (-ffh) may be available from the unit ventilator for heating purposes, as pre viously stated, and the amount of equivalent direct heating surface may, if desired, be deducted from the amount required for heating the room.

. . . '/.

In a split system the-unit is used primarily for'ventilation/ -Air is

delivered to the room at or.slightly above'room temperature, and enough ' radiation is installed in the room to take care of the normal heat transfer losses. Where the unit ventilator selected has a capacity more , than sufficient to warm the air needed to meet the ventilating requirements, a corresponding reduction may be made in the amount of direct radiation installed. The greater the amount of excess capacity of the unit, the more < efficient will be the temperature regulation of the room. The split system permits the heating of the room during failure of electric current, since the direct radiators will furnish heat, but it permits a careless operator to avoid operating the ventilating equipment.
The combined system employs a unit ventilator with sufficient capacity
for both ventilation and the normal heat transfer losses. In such a case.
no direct radiation is required. The necessary operation of the fan when
the room is being heated also gives assurance that some ventilation is
being provided, especially if automatic dampers are used in the air intake
and in the recirculating intake. These dampers are arranged to provide
a certain quantity of outside air, depending upon the weather conditions.
The cost of installation of a combined system is usually less than that of
a split system and there is less danger of overheating, but if the electric
energy fails there will be available only the heating effect of the units
acting as convectors. '
..
Location, of Unit Ventilator
The location of the unit ventilator in a room is important. Wherever possible it should be placed against an outside wall, ft is difficult to. obtain proper air distribution if the unit is erected either on an inside wall or in a corner of the room. Standard units discharge the air stream upward, but for special cases units may be installed to discharge air horizontally. Units may be set away from the wall'or partially recessed into the wall to save space without materially affecting the results. The air inlet may enter the cabinet at the back at any point from top to bottom.
Air Exhaust Vents and Flues
..
The size and location of the air exhaust vent6 outlet is important. In many cases the sizes for public buildings are regulated by law. See table
of state codes and standards in Chapter 5i.
.
In cases where no codes govern, the location and size of vents is left
to the discretion of the engineer.
..
. Best results have been obtained with a velocity.through the vent, openings nearly equal to that at which the air is introduced into the room, thus maintaining a slight pressure in the room. Calculated velocities at
the vent openings of from 600 to 800 fpm produce the best diffusion . results from this system. Many states,' however, have regulations that will not permit velocities as high as 800 fpm. If a vent opening at or . near the floor is near a desk or place where a person is seated, a velocityof 800 fpm in the vent opening will produce an objectionable draft. In such a case the velocity in the vent opening should .not exceed 400 to 450 fpm, although duct velocities are maintained at 600 to 800 fpm if . codes permit
In school buildings provided,with wardrobes or cloakrooms the vents may be so located that the air shall pass through these spaces, ventilating them with air which otherwise would be passed to the outside without being used to the best advantage. -Many state codes for ventilation of public buildings make this arrangement mandatory.

WINDOW VENTILATORS
. A window ventilator illustrated in Fig. 10 consists of filter and switch controlled motor driven fans enclosed in a cabinet to be mounted on the window sill. Such units accomplish ventilation, air cleaning, and air cir culation, but have no means of heating the air. The direction of air discharge is manually adjustable for seasonal operation.
UNIT HUMIDIFIERS
. Unit humidifiers which may be procured in the market at the present
time, fall into four general classifications, depending on the method of causing evaporation. These are as follows: (1) Nozzle Type, (2) Rotary
Type, (3) Cascade Type, and (4) Heater Type.
.
In the nozzle type of humidifier water is sprayed into the air and

coil capacity is transformed into latent heat during the humidifying pro
cess, the unit does not generally eliminate any existing steam radiation but,
does tend to improve comfort conditions by supplying heating during the
off-period of furnace operation7.
In the rotary type of humidifier the spray is created by rotating vanes
or discs which throw the water by centrifugal force and in so doing break
it up into a fine mist. In all other respects, this type of humidifier is
similar to the nozzle type. It has the advantage over the nozzle type of
being less liable to become' clogged.
>
In the cascade type the humidification takes place by water falling in sheets over a series of baffles or trays. This type is usually furnished with a fan, air heater, and air filter all enclosed in a housing.
In the heater type of.humidifier the water is heated either to the boiling point or to a temperature at which the water, vapor readily passes into the air stream. There are many variations of this type of humidifier.
Fig. 10. Typical Window Ventilator
evaporation is effected by adiabatic exchange of energy. Units of this type in simplest form spray a fine mist of water directly into the air in a space. They are used to a great extent in the textile industry.
To the simple type of nozzle unit may be added the following acces sories: a water heater whose function is to increase the vapor pressure, an air heater to heat the air either before or after humidification takes place, a screen or air filter over which the water is sprayed and through which . the air is drawn for intimate contact with the water, a fan to create an air stream and to deliver air to the space to be humidified, and a housing to enclose all the elements. This type of unit is procurable in practically all of the variations mentioned. It has the disadvantage of clogging the nozzles and must be serviced continually.
Fig. 11 illustrates a nozzle unit having a humidifying capacity sufficient for a residence or small building. These units usually include air filters and in some cases provide ventilation air by means of an outside air duct connection to the unit. The units are available for either floor or ceiling mounting and are usually placed in a central location in the basement with short supply and return duct connections from the first floor. Room air is brought into the unit through the return duct connection, is passed over a tempering coil heated by steam or hot water, and is then humidified by passing through some type of spray humidifier. Surplus moisture is removed by an eliminator and the humidified air is delivered to the room through a duct connection. Since a large percentage of the tempering

In the simplest form the heating element using steam, hot water, gas, oil or electricity, is placed in a pan or vessel of water and the vapor passes from, the surface of the water to the stream of air.
' A modification of this type of humidifier is the combination of spray
nozzle and heater type in which the water is sprayed over a hot surface,
and evaporated. -It has the disadvantage of accumulating scale on the
surfaces of the vessel or heating surface.

IMPORTANT considerations in the selection and installation of pipe and fittings for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning work are
dealt with in this chapter.

PIPE MATERIALS
Use of corrosion-resistant materials for pipe, including special alloy
steels and irons, wrought-iron, copper and brass, has increased con
siderably during the past few years. The recent development of copper,
brass, and bronze fittings which can be assembled by soldering or sweating
'permits the use of thin-wall pipe and thereby has reduced the initial cost of such installation. The following brief discussion indicates the variety
` of pipe materials and the types of pipe available.
. Wroughl-Sleel Pipe. Because of its low price, the great bulk of wrought
pipe used for heating.and ventilating work at the present time is of
wrought steel. The material used for steel pipe is a mild steel made by
' the acid-bessemer, the open-hearth, or the electric-furnace process.
Ordinary wrought-steel pipe is made either by shaping sheets of metal
into cylindrical form and welding the edges together, or by forming or
/ drawing from a solid billet.' The former is known as welded pipe, the
latter as seamless pipe.
.' Many types of welded pipe are available, although the smaller sizes
' most frequently used in heating and ventilating work are made by the
lap-weld, resistance-weld, or butt-weld process. While the lap-weld and
resistance-weld processes produce a better weld than the butt type,
' lap-weld and resistance-weld pipe are seldom manufactured in nominal
pipe sizes less than 2 in. Seamless pipe can be obtained in the small
sizes at a somewhat higher cost.
.
Seamless steel pipe is frequently used for high pressure work or where
pipe is desired for close coiling, cold bending, or other forming operation.
Its advantages are its somewhat greater strength, which permits use of a
thinner wall and, in the small sizes, its freedbm from the occasional
tendency of welded pipe to split at the weld when bent.
Wrought-iron Pipe. Wrought-iron pipe is claimed to be more corro
sion-resisting than ordinary steel pipe and therefore its somewhat higher
first cost is said to be justified on the basis qf longer life expectancy.
' Wrought-iron pipe may be identified by'the spiral line marked into each
' length, either knurled into the metal or painted on it in red or other
bright color. Otherwise, there is little difference in the appearance of wrought iron and steel pipe, although microscopic examination of polished
and etched specimens will readily disclose the difference.- _
- Cast-Ferrous Pipe. There are now available several types of cast . ferrous metal pipe made, of a good grade of cast-iron .with or .without
additions of nickel, chromium, or other alloy. This pipe is available in sizes from 1in. to 6 in., and in standard lengths-of 5 or 6 ft with external and internaTdiameters closely approximating those of extra strong'

wrought pipe. .- Cast-ferrous pipe may be obtained coupled, beveled for
welding, or with ends plain or grooved for the several types of couplings;
It is easily cut and threaded as well as welded. The fact that it is readily
welded enables the manufacturers to supply the pipe in any lengths
practicable for handling.
.
,
Alloy Metal Pipe. Steel pipe bearing a small alloy of copper or other alloying element and iron pipe bearing a small alloy of copper and molyb denum have been claimed to possess more resistance to corrosion than plain

Copper Pipe and Fittings. Owing to its inherent resistance to cor rosion, copper and brass pipe have always been used in heating, venti-
lating, and water supply installations, but the cost with standard dimen sions for threaded connections has been high. The recent introduction
.
of fittings which permit erection by soldering or sweating allows the use
of pipe with thinner . walls than are possible with threaded connections, ,
thereby reducing the cost of installations.
..
The initial cost of- brass and copper pipe installations generally runs higher than the corresponding job with steel pipe and screwed connections in spite of the use of thin wall pipe, but the corrosive nature of the fluid conveyed or the inaccessibility of some of the piping may1 warrant use of
a more expensive material than plain steel. The advantages of corrosion-

as to afford interchangeability in threading, and other elements associated
with fabrication and erection. Hence the difference in wall thickness is
'accompanied by a corresponding change in inside,diameter. In sizes up
to 14 in., pipe is designated by its nominal size which corresponds roughly
to the inside diameter of Schedule 40 pipe. In sizes 14 in. and upward,
pipe is designated by its outside diameter (O. D.), and the wall thickness
is specified.
.
While the demands for pipe for the heating and ventilating industry are
reasonably well served by Schedule 40 (standard weight) pipe, the erection
of pipe by welding sometimes warrants using lighter wall thicknesses.

&From Piping Handbook, by Walker and Crocker. This table gives the expansion from --20 F to the temperature in question. . To obtain the amount of expansion between any two temperatures take the
difference between the figures in the table for those temperatures. For example, if a steel pipe is installed at a temperature of 60 F and is to operate at 300 F, the expansion would be 2.519 -- 0.593 * 1.926 in. .
.
. exposal work generally employs copper pipe of a hard temper. All three
classes are extensively used with soldered fittings.
.
Standard dimensions, weights, and diameter and wall-thickness, .
tolerances for these classes of copper tubing are given in Table 3: Copper
pipe is also available with dimensions of steel pipe. . .
.
Refrigeration lines used in connection with air conditioning equipment
also, employ copper tubing extensively. For refrigeration use where,
tubing absolutely free from scale and dirt is required, bright annealed
copper tubing that has been deoxidized is used. This tubing is available
in a variety of sizes and wall thicknesses. '

EXPANSION AND FLEXIBILITY
The increase in temperature of a pipe from room temperature to an operating steam or water temperature 100 deg or more above room tem perature results in an increase in length of the pipe for which provision must be made. The amount of linear expansion (or contraction in the . case of refrigeration lines) per unit length of material per degree change in
Pipe,'Fittings, Welding~
.` - - , ' ' 499
temperature is termed the- coefficient of .linear expansion, or commonly, the coefficient of expansion. This coefficient varies with the material.
The linear expansion of cast-iron, steel, wrought-iron, and copper pipe;
the materials most frequently used in heating and ventilating work, can
be determined from Table 4.
,'
The three methods by which the elongation due to thermal .expansion may be taken care of are: (1). Expansion joints; (2) Swivel joints; (3) Inherent flexibility of the'pipe itself utilized through pipe bends, right-angle turns, or offsets in the line.
Expansion joints of the slip-sleeve, diaphragm, or corrugated types
made of copper, rubber, or other gasket material are all used for taking
up expansion, but generally only for low. pressures or where the inherent
flexibility of the pipe cannot readily be used as in underground steam or-
hot water distribution lines.
.
.
Swivel joints are used to some extent in low-pressure steam and hot-
Fig. 1. Measurement of L on Various Pipe Bends
water heating systems, and in hot-water supply lines. Since swivel joints permit the expansive movement of the pipe by turning of threaded joints, which may ultimately result in a leak, it is preferable to provide sufficient flexibility without resorting to swiveling in the threads.
Probably the most economical method of providing for expansion' of piping in a long run is to take advantage of the directional changes which must necessarily occur in the piping and proportion the offsets so that sufficient flexibility is secured. Ninety-degree bends with long, straight tangents in either a horizontal or a vertical plane are an excellent means for securing adequate flexibility with larger sizes of pipe. When flexi bility cannot- be obtained in this manner, it is necessary to make use ofsome type of expansion bend. The exact calculation of the size of ex pansion bends required to take up a given amount of thermal expansion is relatively complicated1. The following approximate method, however, has been found to give reasonably good-results and is deemed to be sufficiently accurate for most heating work.
Fig. 1 shows several types of expansion bends commonly used for
taking up thermal expansion. . The amount of pipe, L, required in each of
these bends may be computed from Equation 1,
.
L = 6.16 y D A
.

L = length of pipe, feet.
D = outside diameter of the pipe used, inches. .

stress of 16,000 psi. When square type bends are used, the width of the
bend should not exceed about twice the height, since for a given total length of pipe in the bend, the height of the bend becomes progressively
dess with increase in width until the height approaches zero and no
flexibility exists. Actually, wide bends utilize to best advantage the inherent flexibility of the line, but such bends cannot be proportioned on the basis of Equation 1. For such applications, more accurate methods1
should be employed. It is further assumed that the corners are made with
screwed or flanged elbows or with arcs of circles having radii five to six
times the pipe diameter. Use of welding elbows with radii of 1J4 times the pipe diameter will decrease the end thrusts somewhat but will raise
the fiber stress correspondingly.
.
All risers must be anchored and safeguarded so that the difference in
length when hot from the length when cold shall not disarrange the
normal and orderly provisions for drainage of the branches.
Proper anchoring of piping is especially necessary with light-weight
radiators, to allow for freedom of expansion in order that no pipe strain
will distort the radiators. When expansion strains from the pipes are
permitted to reach these light metal heaters, they usually emit disturb
ing sounds.
;
HANGERS AND SUPPORTS
Heating system piping requires careful and substantial support. Where changes in temperature of the line are not large, such simple methods of support may be utilized as hanging the line by means of rods or perforated strip from the building structure, or supporting it by brackets or on piers.
When fluids are conveyed at temperatures of 150 F or above, however, hangers or supporting equipment must be fabricated and assembled to permit free expansion or contraction of the piping. This can be accom plished by the use of long rod hangers, spring hangers, chains, hangers or supports fitted with rollers, machined blocks, elliptical or circular rings of larger diameter than the pipe giving contact only at the bottom, or trolley hangers. In all cases, allowance should be made for rod clearance to permit swinging without setting up severe bending action in the rods.
For pipes of small size, perforated metal strip is often used. For horizontal mains, the rod or strip usually is attached to the joists or steel work of the floor above. For long runs of vertical pipe subject to con siderable thermal expansion, either the hangers should be designed to prevent excessive load on the bottom support due to expansion, or the bottom support should be designed to withstand the entire load.
THREADING PRACTICE
In all threaded pipe for heating and ventilating installations the American Standard taper pipe thread, A.S.A. B2.1-1942 is used. This thread is cut with a taper of 1 in 16 measured on the diameter of the pipe so as to secure a tight joint. The number of threads'per inch varies with the pipe size. Threads for fittings are the same, except that it is regular practice to furnish straight tapped couplings for Schedule 40 pipe 2 in. and smaller. For steam pressures in excess of 25 psi, it is recommended that taper-tapped couplings be used to obtain a tight joint. These may be secured by ordering line pipe4 which is used for oil piping, the couplings of which are provided with taper-tapped threads and may be used with regular mill-threaded standard weight pipe. Thread lengths should be in accordance with A.S.A. B2.1. Right-hand threads are used unless

otherwise ordered. To facilitate drainage, some elbows have the thread tapped at an angle to provide a pitch of the connecting pipe of J4 in. to the foot. These elbows are known to the trade as pitch elbows and are commercially available." All threaded pipe joints should be made up with a thread paste suitable for the service for which the pipe is to be used.
TYPES OF FITTINGS
Fittings for joining the separate lengths of pipe together are made in a variety of forms, and are either screwed or flanged, the former being generally used for the smaller sizes of pipe up to and including 3J4 in-, and the latter for the larger sizes, 4 in. and above. Screwed fittings of

large size as well as flanged fittings of small size are also made and are
used for certain classes of work at the proper pressure.
.
The material used for fittings is generally cast-iron, but in addition to this, malleable-iron, steel and steel alloys are also used, as well as various grades of brass or bronze. The material to be used depends on the
character of the service and the pressure. Malleable iron fittings, like brass fittings, are cast with a round instead of a flat band or bead, or with
no bead at all. Fittings are designated as male or female, depending on whether the threads are on the outside or inside, respectively. Screwed galvanized fittings are made according to the 150 lb American Standard.
As in the case of pipe, several weights of fittings are manufactured. Recognized American Standards for the various weights are as follows:
Cast-iron pipe flanges and flanged fittings for 25 lb (sizes 4 in. and larger), 125 lb, and 250 lb maximum saturated steam pressure, A.S.A. B16b2, B16a, and B16b respectively.

for refrigeration use, thread, fits and tolerances on thread gages must be maintained within close limits. Brass fittings with S..4..E. dimensions are not interchangeable with the American Standard fittings for water tubes,
Ammonia pipe fittings made of cast-iron were formerly used extensively . in handling refrigerants in large installations. Replacement of ammonia . by other refrigerants operating at lower pressures has seriously curtailed the market for these fittings. For this reason formulation of an American Standard for these fittings was abandoned by the A.S.A. in 1936.
. FLANGE FACINGS AND GASKETS
A number of different flange facings in common use are plain face,
raised face, tongue and groove, and male and female. Cast-iron fittings
for 125 psi and below are normally furnished with a plain face, while the
250 lb cast-iron fittings are supplied with a
raised face. The
standard facing for steel flanged fittings for 150 and 300 psi is a
raised face although these fittings are obtainable with a variety of
facings. The gasket surface of the raised face may be finished smooth
or may be machined with concentric or spiral grooves often referred to as
serrated face or phonograph finish, respectively.
The dimensions of elbows, tees and crosses for 125 lb cast-iron screwed
fittings are given in Table 6, whereas the dimensions for 125 lb cast-iron
flanged fittings are given in Table 7.
.
For low temperature service not to exceed about 220 F, a number of paper or vegetable fiber gasket materials will prove satisfactory; for plain . raised face flanges, rubber or rubber inserted gaskets are commonly employed. Asbestos composition gaskets are probably the most widely used, particularly where the temperature exceeds 250 F. Jacketed asbestos and metallic gaskets may be used for any pressure and tem perature conditions, but preferably only with a narrow recessed facing:
WELDING
Erection of piping in heating and ventilating installations by means of fusion welding has been commonly accepted in the past few years as ah alternate method to the screwed and flanged joint. Since the question
of economy of welding as against the use of screwed and flanged fittings is dependent on the individual job, the use of welding is generally recom mended on the basis of a greatly reduced cost of maintenance and repair, of less weight resulting from the use of a lighter-weight pipe, and of increased economy in pipe insulation, hangers, and supports rather than
on the basis of any economy that might be effected in actual erection by ' welding on low to medium pressure heating jobs.
Fusion welding, commonly used in erection of piping, is defined as the
process of joining metal parts in the molten, or molten and vapor states,
without the application of mechanical pressure or blows. Fusion welding
embraces gas welding and electric arc welding, both of which are com
monly used to produce acceptable welds. Welding processes and pro
cedure are described in various publications3.
`
Welding application requires the same basic knowledge of design as do the other types of assembly; but, in addition, requires a generous know- ledge of the sciences involved, particularly as to welding qualities of / metal, their reaction to extremely high temperatures, and the ability to determine and use only the best quality welding rods. This requirement applies equally to employer and employee with the employer accepting
506-
CHAPTER 27
,
1946 Guide
all of the responsibility.. Thus the employer should select his welding' mechanics with good judgment, provide them with first-class equipment and tools, arrange for their training and use of acceptable workmanship standards, and at regular intervals subject their work to prescribed tests.
For piping which is to be operated at pressures in excess of 15 psi, rules for fusion welding of pipe joints and the qualification of welders and

which range commercial fittings are available.' This type of fitting has gained rapid acceptance owing to its ease of installation, low cost, and ability to make a-pressure tight joint without weakening the pipe as is the case with threading. Dimensions for socket-welding fittings as . offered by most manufacturers of the product are given in Table 10.
VALVES
Valves are made with both .threaded and flanged ends for screwed and bolted connections just as are pipe fittings.
The material used for valves of small size is generally brass or bronze for low pressures and forged steel for high pressures, while in the larger

rising stem, although in the smaller sizes the rising stem is more commonly used. The rising stem valve is desirable because the positions of the handle and stem indicate whether the valve is open or closed, although space limitations may prevent its use. The globe valve is less expensive to manufacture than the gate valve, but its peculiar construction offers a high resistance to flow and may prevent complete drainage of the pipe line. These objections are of particular importance in heating work. '
An American Standard, A.S.A. B16.10-1939, has been prepared giving the face-to-face dimensions of ferrous flanged and welding-end valves. The following types are covered:" wedge gate, double disc gate, globe and angle, and swing check. One purpose of establishing these dimensions is

Brass, bronze, and iron valves are generally designed for standard or
extra heavy service, the former being used up to 125 lb and the latter up
to 250 lb saturated steam working pressure, although most manufacturers
also make valves for medium pressure up to 175 lb steam working pres
sure. The more common types are gate valves or straightway'valves,
\ globe valves, angle valves, check valves and automatic valves, such as
reducing and back-pressure valves. '
-
Gate valves are the most frequently used of all valves since in their open position the resistance to flow is a minimum, but they should not be used . where it is desired to throttle.the flow;, globe valves should be used for this purpose. These valves may be secured with either a rising or a non-

to insure that gate valves of a given rating and flange dimension of either the wedge or double disc design will be interchangeable in a pipe line.

End-to-end dimensions for steel butt-welding valves in sizes up to 8 in., inclusive, are the same as those given in Table 11 for steel valves.
Check valves are automatic in operation and permit flow in only one direction, depending for operation on the difference in pressure between the two sides of the valve. The two principal kinds of check valves are the swing check in which a flapper is hinged to swing back and forth, and the lift check in which a dead weight disc moves vertically from its seat.

heating system requirements. These valves are generally of the angle
'type and are usually madeof brass. Graduations on the heads or lever handles are often supplied to. indicate the relative opening of the valve.
Automatic control of steam supply to individual radiators can be
effected by use of direct-acting radiator valves having a thermostatic
element at the valve, or near to it. The direct-acting valve is usually an
angle-type valve containing a thermostatic element which permits the
flow of steam in accordance with room temperature requirements. These
valves usually are capable of adjustment to permit variation in room
temperature to suit individual taste.
.
Ordinary steam valves may be used for hot water service by drilling a
Hs-in. hole through the web forming the seat to insure sufficient circulation to prevent freezing when the valve is closed. Valves made for use in hot water,heating systems are of simpler design, one type consisting of a simple
butterfly valve, and another of a quick opening type in which a part in the valve mechanism matches up with an opening in the valve body.
In one-pipe steam-heating systems, automatic air valves are required at the radiators. Two common types of air valves available are the vacuum type and the straight-pressure type. Vacuum valves permit the expulsion of air from the radiators when the steam pressure rises and, in
addition, act as checks to prevent the return of air into the radiator when a vacuum is formed by the condensation of steam after the supply pressure has. dropped. Ordinary air valves permit the expulsion of air from the radiator when steam is supplied under pressure, but when a vacuum tends to be formed the air is drawn back into the radiator.
.
CORROSION
`
Corrosion is sometimes encountered in heating work on the outside of buried pipes or the inside of steam heating systems; it is seldom ex perienced in hot water heating systems unless the water is frequently renewed. Piping buried in the ground is quite successfully protected by.. coatings of the asphaltic type which are usually applied hot and often reinforced with fabric wrappings. Galvanizing by the hot-dip process and painting with specially prepared mixtures also afford some protection.
Internal corrosion6 in steam, heating systems occurs principally in the condensate return pipes and is nearly always caused by oxygen or carbon . dioxide, or both, in solution-in the condensate. Oxygen may enter the heating system with the steam, owing to its presence in the boiler-feed water, or it may enter as air through small leaks, particularly in systems . which operate at sub-atmospheric pressures. -When a steam heating system is operated intermittently, air rushes in during each shutdown period and oxygen is absorbed by the condensate which clings to the' interior surfaces of the pipes and radiators. The rate of corrosion depends upon the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide present in solution, upon the operating temperature, and upon the; length of time that the pipe surfaces are in contact with gas-laden condensate.
Another possible cause of corrosion is a flow of electric current some
times resulting from faulty electrical circuits which .should be corrected.
Electrolytic corrosion also may occur because of the presence of two dis-.
similar metals, such as brass and iron, but the condensate in practically
all steam heating systems is such a weak electrolyte that this cause-of
corrosion is very infrequent.
.
..
If-trouble is experienced from corrosion,.oxygen should be eliminated . from the feed water by proper deaeration with commercial apparatus.
Pipe, Fittings,-Welding .
511
. The elimination of the oxygen due to air leakage is more difficult because
of the multitude of small leaks which exist around valve stems and in
pipe joints. In vacuum systems, however, an attempt should be made
to minimize such leakage.
'. -
.
Carbon dioxide in varying amounts is contained in steam produced
from the majority of water supplies. It is formed from the breaking down
of carbonates and bicarbonates which are present in nearly all natural
waters. It can be partly removed by chemical treatment and deaeration,
but there is no simple method whereby it can be entirely eliminated.
1
These gases cause corrosion only when in solution in the condensate; , when they are mixed with dry steam their corrosive effect is negligible. The amount of gas in solution depends upon the partial pressure of that gas in the atmosphere above the surface of the solution, in accordance' with the well known physical law of Henry and Dalton *. The correct application of this law, however, requires equilibrium conditions which do not always exist under the flow conditions prevailing in a heating system.
There is a distinction between corrosion in heating systems proper and
in the condensate discharge lines from other apparatus using steam at
relatively high rates, particularly at the times of the cycle when the
1 steam consumption is at its heaviest. In such equipment the gases tend
to accumulate in the steam space and to become dissolved in the con
- densate in high concentrations, thus greatly increasing the possibilities
of corrosion. The condensate will more nearly approach in composition
the composition of the steam than will the normal condensate from
apparatus such as room radiators, and will, therefore, normally include in
solution more contaminants. It is possible that careful venting of such
equipment would reduce the amount of contaminants dissolved in the
condensate, thus giving less corrosion. There is evidence-that the partial
pressures of the gases and the possibility of corrosion are much lower in
. heating systems than jn high usage equipment. Hence, corrosion ob
served in the condensate discharge lines from high usage equipment
does not necessarily indicate that equally serious corrosion is taking place
in the heating system.
.
-
' The seriousness of corrosive conditions is best determined by actual measurement rather than by inference from isolated instances of pipe failures. The National District Heating Association has perfected a cor rosion tester' for measuring the inherent corrosiveness of existing con ditions. This corrosion tester consists of a frame supporting three coils of wire which are carefully weighed. After the tester has been inserted in the pipe line for a definite length of time, the loss of weight of the coils, . referred to an established scale, indicates the relative corrosivensss of the condensate. Accompanying such corrosion measurements, a careful chemical analysis should be made of the condensate, and the findings will serve as a basis for an intelligent study of the problem7.
.
There are some indications that after a. condensate containing carbon dioxide has dissolved some iron and thereby raised its pH value, its cor rosive action is greatly reduced and the solution will remain comparatively inactive until admission of oxygen permits the precipitation of the -dissolved iron ,as ferric oxide. The pH value of the condensate may be buffered to a fairly high value by the solution of iron and not correspond to the pH value to be expected in the unbuffered solution containing the same amount of carbon dioxide.

study. Among these inhibitors are oil, sodium silicate, sodium hydroxide, tannin, and various other organic compounds, some of which release ammonia gas. The possible toxic effects, particularly if the steam is used for contact cooking of food, should not be overlooked.
In view of the fact that corrosion is most frequently, found in the return lines from special equipment, which constitute a relatively small part of the total, piping in a building, a simple solution of the corrosion problem may be to use non-corroding materials in those certain portions of the piping system, since the higher cost will usually be an unappreciable. portion of the total. .Brass and copper are undoubtedly less subject to this type of corrosion than the ferrous metals, and considerable attention is now being given to corrosion-resistant linings for ferrous pipe. Cast-iron pipe, sometimes alloyed with other metals, also deserves consideration.
Eighteen ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys were tested in a
large air conditioning installation 8. Observations were made in the wash
water of the dehumidifier and in the air stream beyond the eliminator '
plates. The corrosion rates of all metals and alloys utilizing a dichro-
mated-treated wash water were extremely low. Localized attack in the
form of pitting was found to occur on steel in crevices or under solid
accumulations. Just beyond the dehumidifier eliminator plates corrosive
conditions were observed to be particularly severe and in such locations
non-ferrous metals and alloys and stainless steels were most resistant.
Alloy steels were found to be superior to mild steel.

Heat Losses from Bare and Insulated Pipes, Low Temperature Pipe Insulation, Insulation of Pipes to Prevent Freezing, Economical
Thickness of Pipe Insulation, Underground Pipe Insulation
THE heat loss from uninsulated pipes may be of considerable magni tude if the temperature of the surrounding medium differs appre ciably from that of the fluid conveyed. Losses are increased by rapid
motion of the surrounding air or by contact of the pipe with bodies of
high conductivity. Careful consideration must, therefore, be given to
this factor in a properly designed system and adequate insulation pro
vided, if necessary.
.
HEAT LOSSES FROM BARE PIPES
Heat losses from horizontal bare steel pipes, based on tests at Mellon Institute and calculated from the fundamental radiation and convection equations (Chapter 5), are given in Table 1. Heat losses from horizontal copper tubes and pipes with tarnished surfaces, are given in Table 2 *.
Heat losses from bare pipe of materials having lower emissivities may be calculated from data appearing in Chapter 5.
The area in square feet per linear foot of pipe is given in Table 3 for various standard pipe sizes, and Table 4 for copper tubing, while Table 5 gives the area in square feet of flanges and fittings for various standard pipe sizes. These tables can be used to advantage in estimating the amount of insulation required. '
Very often, when pipes are insulated, flanges and fittings are left bare so as to allow for easy access to the fittings in case of repairs. The fact that a pair of 8-in. standard flanges having an area of 2.41 sq ft would lose, at 100 lb steam pressure, an amount of heat equivalent to more than a ton of coal per year shows the necessity for insulating such surfaces.
Examples1 and & show how the annual heat loss from uncovered pipe and its dollar value may be computed from the data in Table 1.
Example 1. Compute the total annual heat loss from 165 ft of 2 in. bare pipe in
service 4000 hr per year. The pipe is carrying steam at 10 lb pressure and is exposed to.
an average air-temperature of 70 F.
' -*
Solution. The .pipe temperature is taken as the steam temperature, which is 239.4 F,
obtained by interpolation from Steam Tables. The temperature difference between
the pipe and air = 239.4 -- 70 = 169.4 F. By interpolation of Table 1 between tem
perature differences of 157.1 and 227.7 F, the heat loss from a 2-in. pipe at a temperature
difference of 169.4 F is found to be 1.624 Btu per (hour) (linear foot) (Fahrenheit degree).
The total annual heat loss from the entire line = 1.624 X 169.4 X 165 (linear feet)
X 4000 (hours) = 181,600 Mb. (Mb = 1000 Btu.)
.
Example g. Coal costing $11.50 per ton and having a calorific value of 13,000 Btu
per pound is being burned.in the furnace supplying steam to the pipe line given in the
previous example. If the system is operating at an over-all efficiency of 55 per cent,
determine the monetary value of the anngal heat loss from the line.
.
Solution. The cost of heat per 1000 Mb supplied to the system == 1,000,000 X 11.5
(dollars) 4- [13,000 (Btu) X 2000 (lb) X 0.55 (efficiency)] = $0,804. The total cost of
heat lost per year -- 0.804 X 181.6 (thousand Mb) = $146.00.

'
Insulation is secured to pipes with staples which are used to bridge the joint between half sections, and with metal pipe covering bands or rings of wire which secure individual sections and effect a junction between abutting sections. A number of surface finishes are used over pipe insulation depending upon the service encountered and appearance desired. Canvas jackets are most common although asbestos paper or asbestos finishing cements are sometimes employed. Insulation outdoors should be waterproof and is generally protected with an asphalt felt for piping and asphaltic cements for fittings. Insulation bn lines carrying cold water, brine, or other cold fluids is carefully finished to obtain adequate sealing against the penetration of water vapor.
.The selection of pipe insulation for a particular service condition must
be made with full consideration of a number of properties in addition to
thermal conductivity: Factors which may be of more importance than
' the thermal conductivity, are: ease of application, fire resistance, heat
stability, weathering stability, resistance to damage by physical abuse,
and others which may apply to a particular installation. A complete
evaluation of pipe insulation cannot be included here. Insulation manu
facturers should be consulted in regard to the selection of insulation
which is to meet specific requirements.

due to differences in thickness, pipe sizes, and air conditions are eli

conductivity to some extent from these values.

can be obtained by interpolation. Also, the losses through any of the

obtained from Figs. 1, 2, or 3 by the factors given in Table 7.

85 per cent magnesia. The pipe is operating at a temperature of 1200 F and is exposed
to a room temperature of 80 F/
.
Solution. In figuring the heat loss from Equation 2, it is necessary to first make an assumption for the outer surface temperature h and the temperature between the diatomaceous silica and 85 per cent magnesia insulation, so that the mean temperature of each material can be obtained and the thermal conductivity corresponding to the mean temperature of each material substituted in the formula. First assume an outer surface temperature of 140 F and a temperature of 570 F between the two materials corresponding to a mean temperature of (1200 + 570) 4- 2 or 885 F for the diatomaceous silica and (570 + 140) v 2 or 355 F for the 85 per cent magnesia insulation.

98.3 Btu.
The temperature drop from the outer surface of the insulation to the surrounding-air for a heat loss of 98.3 Btu is found from Fig. 4 to be 57 FTor a 16-in. O.D. cylindrical surface, or 57 -j- 80 F room temperature = 137 F surface temperature. Since a surface temperature of 140 F was assumed, it is evident that a temperature closer to 137 F, or, for instance, 138 F should be used for recalculation:
2o
1200 - 138 6.2 + 4.58
98.4 Btu.
Since the temperature drop through each material is equal to the heat flow times the actual resistance of each material the temperature drop through the diatomaceous silica is 98.4 X 6.2 = 610 F or the temperature between the-two insulating materials is (1200 -- 610) = 590 F. Since a temperature of 570 F between the two materials was assumed, it is obvious that a temperature closer to 590, or for instance 586 F may be selected. The mean temperatures of the two insulations corresponding to the new assumptions are (1200 + 586) 4- 2 = 893 and (586 + 138) 4- 2 = 362 and the inter polated conductivities corresponding to the new mean temperatures are 0.87 and 0.505.

Again referring to Fig. 4, it is seen that the temperature drop from the outer surface of the insulation to the surrounding air for a heat loss of 99.3 Btu = 38 F which cor responds to the surface temperature of 138 F last assumed. The temperature drop , through the diatomaceous silica is 99.3 X 6.16 = 612 F, corresponding to a temperature of 588 F between the two materials which checks very closely with the temperature of

Heat Loss from Canvas-Covered Cylindrical Surfaces of Various Diameters
585 F last assumed. The heat loss is therefore 99.3 X 8.312 4- 3.312-or 249 Btu per square foot of pipe surface. Since the surface area per linear foot of 6-in. pipe is 1.734 sq ft (Table 5), the heat loss per linear foot of pipe will be 249 X 1.734 = 432 Btu per hour.
The rate of heat loss from a surface maintained at constant temperature is greatly increased by air circulation over the surface. In the case of well-insulated surfaces, the increases in losses due to air.velocity are very small as compared with increases from bare surfaces, because of the fact that air .flowing over the surface of the insulation can increase only the conductance of heat from surface to air, and cannot change the internal conductance of the insulation itself. - The maximum increase in heat loss . due to air velocity ranges from about 15 per cent in the case of 1-in. thick insulation, to about 5 per cent in the case of 3-in. thick insulation, 1 provided that the insulation is thoroughly sealed so that air can flow only over the surface. If the conditions are such that the air may'circulate through cracks and crevices in the insulation, the increases may be far
522

greater than those given. Therefore, it is essential that insulation be '
applied in such a manner that air circulation within it or between it and
the pipe is avoided.

, LOW TEMPERATURE PIPE INSULATION
Surfaces maintained at temperatures lower than the surrounding a}r are insulated to reduce the flow of heat and to prevent condensation. The insulating material should absorb a minimum amount of mois ture, because the absorption of moisture substantially increases the conductivity of the material. This property is particularly important in-

the insulation of surfaces that are below the dew-point of the surrounding air. In such cases, due to vapor pressure difference, it is necessary to . . seal the surface of the insulating material against the penetration ofwater vapor which would condense within the material, causing a serious increase in heat flow, possible breakdown of the material, and corrosion of metal surfaces. An insulating material with a high degree of moisture; ' .absorption might pick up moisture before application and then, when the seal is in place and the temperature of the insulated surface reduced; release that moisture to the cold surface. . There are a number of methods.' of, producing vapor seals, some of which have been worked out by insula tion manufacturers to suit their products and others by applicators and

users. Unless time proven methods are known, specifications of insulation manufacturers should be obtained and followed carefully.
The thickness of insulation required to prevent condensation on the' outer surface is that thickness which will raise the temperature of the outer surface of the insulation to a point slightly higher than the dew point of the surrounding vapor. The dew-point for various humidities, can be readily ascertained from a psychrometric chart.
The: approximate required' thickness of insulation to prevent conden sation on pipes and flat metallic surfaces may be obtained from Fig. 5 in which a surface resistance of 0.606 corresponding to a film conductance of 1.65, was used in calculating the curves. This value provides a slight factor of safety and its use is known to give satisfactory field results. In using the chart it is advisable to specify the next thicker, rather than

Heat gains for pipes insulated with a material having an installed conductivity of ,0.30 Btu per (square foot) (hour) (Fahrenheit degree per inch) are given in Table 8. This table may be used for any of the com mercial insulations offered for this purpose since they have conductivities very near the 0.3 value used.
INSULATION OF PIPES TO PREVENT FREEZING
' If the surrounding air temperature remains sufficiently low for an ample
period of time, insulation cannot prevent the freezing of still water, or of
water flowing at such a velocity that the quantity of heat carried in the.
water is not sufficient to take care of the heat losses which will result and
cause the temperature of the water to be lowered to the freezing point.
Insulation can materially prolong the time required for the water to give
up its heat, and if the velocity of the water flowing in the pipe is main-,
tained at a sufficiently high rate, freezing may be prevented.
`
Table 9 may be used for making estimates of the thickness of insu' lation necessary to take care of still1 water in pipes at various water and surrounding air temperature conditions. Because of the damage-and1
Pipe Insulation
525
service interruptions which may result from frozen water in pipes, it' is essential that an efficient insulation be utilized. ' This table is based on the use of a material having a conductivity of 0.30. The initial water tem perature is assumed to be 10 F above, and the surrounding air temperature 50 F below the freezing point of water (temperature difference, 60 F).
The last column of Table 9 gives the minimum quantity of water at
initial temperature of 42 F which should be supplied every hour for each .
linear foot of pipe, in order to prevent the temperature of the water from
being lowered to the freezing point. The weights given in this column
should be multiplied by the total length of the exposed pipe line expressed
in feet. As an additional factor of safety, and in order to provide against
temporary reductions in flow occasioned by reduced pressure, it is ad
visable to double the rates of flow listed in the table. It must be empha-.
sized that the flow rates and periods of time designated apply only for the
conditions stated. To estimate for other service conditions the following
method of procedure may be used.
.
If water enters the pipe at 52 F instead of 42 F, the time required to cool it to the freezing point will be prolonged to twice that given in the table, or the rate of flow of-water may be reduced so that the quantity required will be one-half that shown in the last column of Table 9. However, if the water enters the pipe at 34 F it will be cooled to 32 F in one-fifth of the time given in the table. It will then be necessary to increase the rate of flow so that five times the specified quantity of water ' .will have to be supplied-in order to prevent freezing.
If the minimum air temperature is -- 38 F (temperature difference 80 F) instead of --18 F, the time required to cool the water to the freezing point will be 60/80 of the time given in the table, or the necessary quantity of water to be supplied will be 80/60 of that given.
,,
In making calculations to arrive at the values given in Table 9, the
loss of heat stored in the insulation, the effect of a varying temperature
difference due to the cooling of pipe and water, and the resistance of
the-outer surface of the insulation to the transfer of heat to the air have ,
all been neglected. When these factors enter into the computations it is
necessary to enlarge the factor of safety. Also as stated, the time shown
in the table is. that required to lower the water to the freezing point. A .
longer period would be required to freeze the water but the danger point
is reached when freezing starts. The flow of water will stop and the entire
line will be in danger as soon as the water freezes across the section of the
pipe at any point.
.
When water must remain stationary longer than the times designated '
in Table 9, the only safe way to insure against freezing is to install a
steam or hot water line or to place an electric resistance heater along the
side of the exposed water line: The heating system and the water line are
then insulated so that the heat losses from the heating system are not
excessive, and the heating effect is concentrated against the water pipe
where it is needed. For this form of protection 2 in. of an efficient insu
lation may be applied.

on commonly used forms of tunnels and conduit systems have been published by the National District Heating Association 2.
Pipes in tunnels are covered with sectional insulation to provide maximum thermal efficiency and are also finished with good mechanical, protection in the form of metal or waterproofing membrane outer jackets. In some instances, where actual submersion of hot lines may occur it has , been found good practice to firmly secure the covering with corrosion resistant wire, then sew on. a wire-inserted asbestos fabric jacket with wire. , This jacket is.porous. The principle of withstanding submersion is that water may enter as water, then actually boil at the pipe surfaces and escape as steam without rupturing the insulation or jacket. Conduit systems are in more general use than tunnels. Pipes carried in conduits may be insulated with sectional insulation; however, the more usual practice is to fill the entire section of the conduit around the pipes withhigh quality, loose insulating material. The insulation must be kept dry , at all times, and for this purpose effective waterproofing membranes . enclose the insulation. A drainage system is also provided to divert water
which may tend to enter the conduit.
.
. The economical thickness of insulation for underground work is difficult to determine accurately due to the many variables which, have to be considered. As a result of theories' previously.developed, together with

temperature is substituted for air temperature in determining the tem

THOSE phases of district heating which frequently fall within the province of the heating engineer are outlined here with data and . information for solving incidental problems in connection with institutions
and factories. Some data are included to cover the piping peculiar to
heating systems which are to be supplied with purchased, steam. A com
plete district heating installation should not be attempted' without a .
thorough study of the entire problem by 'men competent and experienced
in that industry.
.
STEAM DISTRIBUTION PIPING
The methods used in district heating work for the distribution of steam
are applicable to any problem involving the supply of steam to a group of
buildings. The first step is to establish the route of the pipes, and in this'
matter the local conditions so fully control the layout that little can be
said regarding it: . ~ ' -.
".
Having established the route of the pipes, the next step is to calculate the pipe sizes. In district heating work it is common practice to design the piping system on the basis of pressure drop. The initial pressure and the`minimum permissible terminal pressure are specified and the pipe sizes are so chosen that the required amount of steam, with suitable allowances for future increases, will be transmitted without exceeding this pressure drop. The steam velocity is therefore.almost disregarded and may reach a very high figure. Velocities of 35,000 fpm are not con sidered high. By the use of this method the pipe sizes are kept to a _ minimum with consequent savings in investment.
The steam flowing through any section of the piping can be computed
from a study of the requirements of the several buildings served. In
general a condensation rate of 0.25 lb per (hour) (square foot of equiva
lent heating surface) is a safe figure. This allows for line condensation
which, however, is a small part of the total at times of maximum load.
Miscellaneous steam requirements such as laundry, cooking, or process
should be individually calculated.
`
The steam requirements for water heating should be taken into account, but in most types of buildings this load will be relatively small compared . with the heating load and will seldom occur at the time of the heating peak. Unusual features such as large heaters for swimming pools should
not be overlooked.
'.
The pressure at which the steam is to be distributed will depend upon. (1) boiler pressure, (2) whether exhaust or live steam, (3) pressure require
ments of apparatus to be served. If steam has been passed through electrical generating units, the pressure will be considerably lower- than if ' live steam, direct from the boilers, is used.
The advantages of low pressure distribution (2 to 30 psi) are (1) smaller heat loss per square foot of pipe surface, (2) less trouble with traps and' valves, (3) simpler problems in pressure reduction at the buildings, and
529 .
530
CHAPTER 29
1946 Guide ,
(4) general- reduction in maintenance costs. With distribution pressures
not exceeding 40 psi there is little danger even if the full distribution
pressure should build up in the radiators through the faulty operation of
a reducing valve; but with pressures higher than 50 psi a second reducing
valve or'some form of emergency relief is usually desirable to prevent
' excessive pressures in the radiators;
..
' The advantages of high pressure distribution are (1) smaller pipe sizes and (2) greater adaptability of the steam to various operations other than .
Fig. 1. Construction Details of Conduits Commonly Used
building heating, (3) wider flexibility as to allowance for maximum
pressure drop.
.
..
'
'
The different kinds of apparatus which frequently must be served
require various minimum pressures. Kitchen equipment requires from
5 to 15 psi, the higher pressures being necessary for apparatus in which
water is boiled, such as stock kettles and coffee urns. An increased
amount of heating surface, which is easily obtained in some kinds of
apparatus, results in.quicker and more satisfactory operation at low
pressures. For laundry equipment, particularly the mangle, a pressure
of 75 psi is usually demanded although 30 psi is sufficient if the flat work
ironer is equipped with a large number of/rolls and if a slower rate of .
operation is permissible. Pressing machines and hospital sterilizers
require about 50 psi. Where pressures are not as high as desired higher
pressures can be obtained by a steam compressor. .

PIPE SIZES

The lengths of pipe, steam quantities, and initial and terminal pressures
having been chosen, the pipe sizes can readily, be calculated by means of
Babcock's pressure drop formula:

Numerical values of the various factors are given in Table 1, Chapter 23.
CONDUITS FOR PIPING
Conduits for steam pipes buried underground should be reasonably
waterproof, able to withstand earth loads and to take care of the expan
sion and contraction of the piping without strain or stress on the couplings,
or without affecting the insulation or conduit. Expansion of the piping
must be carefully controlled by means of anchors and expansion joints
or bends so that the pipes can never come in contact with the cbnduit.
Anchors can be anchor fittings or U-shaped. steel straps which partially
encircle the pipes and are firmly bolted to a short length of structural or
cast steel set in. concrete. In general, cast steel is preferable to struc
tural steel.
. .'
In laying out underground conduits the following points should be
borne in mind:
.
X. The depth of the buried-conduit should be kept at a minimum. Excavation costs
are a large factor in the total cost.
--
2. An expansion joint, offset, or bend should be placed between each two anchors." Advantage should.be taken of the flexibility of piping to. absorb expansion wherever possible. Information on provisions for expansion will be found in Chapter 27.
3. A proper hydrostatic test should be made on the assembled line before the insula
tion and the top of the conduit are applied. The hydrostatic test pressure should be
one and one-half times the maximum service pressure and it should be held for a period
of at least two hours without evidence of leakage.
..
There are ma.ny types of conduits; some of which are manufactured
products and some of which are built in the field. . Some of the more
common forms are illustrated in Fig. 1.
.'
The conduit (A) is of a wood casing construction which has been widely,
used in the past. The wood casing is segmented, lined with tin, and
bound with wire: The outside of the conduit is coated with asphaltum.
It is not suitable for high temperatures or poorly drained soils.
.
- In Fig. 1 .(B), (C), (D), (H) and (I)-are patented forms of conduits.;
The insulation is sometimes a loose filler packed into the conduit. Con
duits (H).and (I) are prefabricated. Both of these conduits are enclosed
in metal jackets.
,
At (G) and (E) are shown two tile conduits using sectional insulation. In these particular designs the space' surrounding the pipe is filled par-

tially or wholly with a loose insulating material. The addition of this
loose insulating material to the sectional insulation is, of course, optional
and is justified only where high pressure steam is used. '
.'
(E) and (F) are conduits used by two district heating companies, and
have the advantage of being constructed of common materials.
Conduit (G) is of cast-iron construction, assembled with lead joints
and is water-tight, if properly laid. It is obviously expensive and is
justified only in exceptional cases.
.
Since it is difficult to make a concrete or masonry conduit absolutely water-tight, provision should be made for some seepage. The pipe should
Fig. 2. Connections for Reducing Valve Without Bypass
Fig. 3. Connections for Reducing Valve with Bypass
be protected by . a waterproof jacket over the insulation and the seepage
drained from the inside of the conduit.
.
.
Underdrainage of the conduit is generally provided for by a tile drain laid in crushed stone or gravel underneath the conduit. The. tile under drain should be carried to the sewer or some other drainage point.
, Manholes are required at intervals for access to valves, traps, and some
types of expansion joints.
."
Where steam and return piping are installed in the same conduit, the return piping usually follows the same grade as the steam piping. In general, the condensation is pumped back under pressure.
PIPE TUNNELS
Where steam heating lines are installed in tunnels large enough to provide walking space, the pipes are supported by means of hangers or
District Heating
533
roller frames on brackets or frame racks at the side or sides of the tunnel. The pipes are insulated with' sectional pipe insulation over which is placed a sewed-on, painted canvas jacket or a jacket of asphalt-saturated asbestos water-proofing felt. The tunnel itself is usually built of concrete or brick and water-proofed on the outside with membrane water-proofing.
Because of their relatively high first cost as compared with smaller conduits, walking tunnels are sometimes omitted along heating lines unless they are required to accommodate miscellaneous other services or provide underground passage between buildings.
. OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION
In some industrial and institutional applications, the distribution piping may be installed, entirely or in part, above ground. This method

1 Most district heating companies enforce certain regulations regarding the consumer's installation, partly to safeguard their own interests but principally to insure satisfactory and economical service to the consumer. There are certain fundamental principles that should be followed in the design of a building heating system whifch is to be supplied from street mains. Although some of these apply to any building, they have been demonstrated to be especially important when steam is purchased.

. 1. Provision should be made for conveniently shutting off the steam supply at night and at
other times when heat is not needed.
.
It has been thoroughly demonstrated that a considerable amount of heat can. be
saved by shutting off steam at night. Although there is, in some cases, an increased
consumption of heat when steam is again turned on in the morning, there is a large net
saving which may be explained by the fact that the lower inside temperature maintained
during the night obviously results in lower heat loss from the building, and less heat need
therefore be supplied. .
Steam can be entirely shut off at night in most buildings even in .very cold weather without endangering plumbing. It is necessary, however, to have an ample ampunt'of ' heating surface so that the building caii be quickly warmed in the morning. Where the hours of occupancy differ in various parts of the building, it is good practice to install separate supply pipes to the. different parts. For example, in an office building with stores or restaurants on the first floor which are open in the evening, a separate main supplying the first floor will permit the steam to be shut off from the remainder of the

ment of district heating as any.-.other one thing. Meters are classified
into two groups: Quantity Meters and Rale of Flow.Meters.
Quantify Meters .
' '
." '
The one type of quantity meter used is the condensation meter, which
may be of the tilting bucket or revolving drum type.
.
The condensation meter is a popular type for use on small and medium
sized installations, where all the condensate can be brought to a common
point for metering purposes. Its simplicity of design,, ease in testing,
accuracy at all loads, low.cost, and.adaptability to low pressure distribu
tion has made it standard equipment with many heating companies.
Condensation meters should not be operated under pressure; they are
made for either gravity or vacuum installations. Where bucket traps
are used, a vented receiver is essential ahead of the meter. Where con
tinuous flow traps are used, a vented receiver is not necessary, but is

building in the late,afternoon. The division of the building into zones each with a
separately controlled heat supply is sometimes desirable, as it permits the heat to be adjusted according to variations in sunshine and wind.
'. Residual heat in the condensate should be salvaged.
. This heat.may be.salvaged by means of a cooling coil, or as is more frequently done,
by a water heating economizer (see Fig. 5) which preheatssthe hot water supply to the
building.
The condensation from the heating system, after leaving the trap, passes through the
economizer. The supply to the hot' water heater passes through the economizer, ab
sorbing heat from the condensate. If the hot water system in the building is of the
recirculating type, the recirculating connection should be tied in between the economizer
and the water heater proper, not at the economizer inlet, because the recirculated hot
water is itself at a high temperature. .
Because of.the lack of coincidence between the heating system load and the hot water demand, a greater amount of heat can be extracted from the condensate if storage capa city is provided for the preheated water. Frequently a type of economizer is used in which the coils are submerged in a storage tank.
S. Heal supply should be graduated according to variations in the outside temperature.
.. . The maximum in economical operation and satisfactory heating can only be obtained
by the use of some automatic temperature control system.

Rate of Flow or Flow Meters
.
....
Flow meters used for district heating work are of three types: Area
Meters, Head Meters and. Velocity Meters. .
.
Area meters are those, in the operation of which, a variation in the
cross-section of stream under constant head is used as an indication of
the rate of flow. A tapered plug is suspended in an orifice and moves
axially with the flow, which is vertically upward. The weight of the plug provides a definite pressure differential, and the plug floats at such a
height as will provide enough orifice area to pass the flow at the pressure
difference. The position of the plug'is transmitted by means of a lever
and pencil and records the flow on a graduated strip chart.
Head meters are those in which the stream of fluid creates a difference
of pressure, or differential head. This head is created by an orifice,
Venturi tube, flow nozzle', of Pitot tube and will depend upon the velocity
and density of the fluid. ,
.,
.The secondary element must contain a differential pressure gage, which
will translate the pressure difference into rate of flow or total flow. This
mechanism may be either mechanical or electrical. The electric, flow ,
meter has the advantage of being able to locate the instruments at some
distance from the primary element.,
536
CHAPTER 29
1946 Guide
Fig. 7 is a typical example of an orifice-type meter installation. A few general points to be considered in installing a meter of this type are: (1) It is desirable to place the differential medium in a horizontal pipe in preference to a vertical one, where either location is available. (2) Reservoirs should always be on_the same level and installed in accor dance with the instructions of the meter company. (3) The meter body should be placed at a lower level than that of the pressure differential medium. Special instructions are furnished where the meter body is above. (4) Meter piping should be kept free from leaks. (5) Sludge should not be permitted to collect in the meter body. (6) The meter body and meter piping should be kept above freezing temperatures. (7) It is best not to connect a meter body to more than one service. (8) Special instructions are furnished for metering a turbulent or pulsating flow.
Fig. 7. Orifice Meter Steam Supply Connection
Velocity meters are those in which the primary element is some device
that is kept in continual rotation by the linear motion of the stream.
The secondary element is, essentially, a revolution counter. The primary
and secondary elements are combined into one unit.
-
For steam metering, the shunt meter is an example of the velocity
type. This unit is connected directly in 2, 3 and 4 in. pipe lines. Larger
size mains are metered by installing a 2 in. meter in a bypass with a
restricting orifice in the main line.
'
'
Selection of Meter-
,.
In selecting a meter for a particular installation, the number of different makes and types of meters suitable for the job is usually limited by one or more-of the following considerations: (1) Its use in a new or an old installation. (2) Method to be used in charging for the service. (3)' Location of'the meter. (4) Large or small quantity to be measured. . (5) Temporary or permanent installation. (6) Cleanliness of the fluid to be measured. (7) Temperature of . the fluid to be measured. . (8) ' Accuracy expected. (9) Nature of flow: turbulent, pulsating, or steady.

. STEAM REQUIREMENTS
Methods of estimating steam requirements for heating various types of buildings are given in Chapter 20.
Table 7 in Chapter 20 represents information obtained from all sections
of the United States, and the group of buildings from which the infor
mation was taken represents a cross-section of all types of heating systems.
Steam requirements for water heating can be satisfactorily estimated
by using a consumption of 0.0025 lb per (day) (cubic foot of heated
space) .for office buildings, without restaurants, and 0.0065 lb per (day)
(cubic foot of heated space) for apartment buildings.. .
Complete information on water heating requirements is given in
Chapter 50!
Additional data on steam requirements of various types of buildings in
a number of cities may be found in the Handbook of the National District Heating Association.' -
RATES
Fundamentally, district heating rates are based upon the same princi ples as those recognized in the electric light and power industry, the main object being a reasonable return on the investment. However, there are other requirements to be met; the rate for each class of service should be based upon the cost to the utility company of the service supplied and upon the value of the service to the consumer, and it must be between these two limits. District heating rates should be designed to produce a sufficient return on the investment regardless of weather conditions, although existing rate schedules do not . conform to this principle. Lastly, the rate schedule must be reasonably simple and understandable.
Glossary of Rate' Terms
-.
Load Factor. The ratio, in per cent, of the average hourly load to the maximum hourly load.. This is usually based on a one year period but may be applied to any specified period.
Demand Factor. The relation between the connected radiator surface or required radiator surface and the demand of the particular installation. It varies from 0.25 to 0.3 lb per (hour) (square foot of surface). ' .
Diversity Factor. The ratio of the sum of the individual demands of a number of buildings to the actual composite demand of the group.

Straight-Line Meter, Rate. The price charged per unit is constant, and the consumer
pays in direct proportion to his consumption without regard to the difference in costs of
. supplying the individual customers.
.
Block Meter Rate. The pounds of steam-consumed by a customer are divided into
blocks of thousands of pounds each, and lower rates are charged for each successive
block'consumed. This type of charge predominates in steam heating rate schedules for
it has the advantage of proportioning the bill according to the consumption and the cost
of service. It has the disadvantage of not discriminating between customers having a
high load factor (relatively low demand) and those having a low load factor (relatively '
High demand). The utility company must maintain sufficient capacity to serve the
high demand customers and the cost of the increased plant investment is divided equally
among the users, so the high demand customers are benefited at the expense of the
others.

The fiat demand rate is usually expressed in dollars per thousand pounds of demand
per month or per annum. It is based on the size of a customer's, installation, and is
seldom used except where a meter is not practicable. ' ,
! ..
~
The Wright demand rate is similar in calculation to the block rate except that it is ex
pressed in terms of hours' use. of the maximum demand. It is seldom used but forms
the basis for other forms of rates.
.
. The Hopkinson demand rate is divided into two elements: . (a) A charge based upon the demand, either estimated or measured.
(6) A charge based upon the amount of steam consumed; * `
.
This rate may be modified by dividing the quantities of steam demanded and con
sumed into blocks charged for at different rates..

The Doherty rate is divided into three elements:

Demand rates are comparatively new and are.iiot yet widely used; though they are equitable and competitive they are difficult for the
average layman to understand. They are of benefit to utility companies
and to consumers because the investment and `Operating costs can be divided to suit the particular circumstances into demand, customer, and
consumption groups through the use of some modification of the Hopkin-
son rate. Demand rates are an advantage to the customer in that the
use of such a rate reduces the rate per thousand pounds to the long-hour
user.

Fuel Price Surcharge. It is usually desirable to establish a rate upon,
a specified basic cost of fuel to the utility, company. . Where there are
wide variations in the price of fuel, it is also desirable to add a definite charge per thousand pounds of steam sold for each increment of increase
in the price of fuel. This surcharge automatically compensates for the
variations without necessitating frequent changing of the whole rate
structure.

UTILIZATION
Considerable savings can be made by the proper and intelligent oper-'
ation of heating systems. It should be borne in mind that a heating
system is designed to heat a building to 70 F inside when the outside
temperature is at its lowest point for that particular locality! There is a
tendency to overheat the building at any time the outside temperature is
above the design temperature unless some method of regulation is used,
either automatic or manual.
'.
The general rules for economical operation.2 are as follows:
1. Reduce the heat losses from the building to a minimum.
.
a. Weatherstrip all windows, and caulk all window frames.
. . . b. Provide revolving or vestibule doors on all entrances. Separate shipping and.
receiving rooms from the remainder of the building by partitions so that the
large doors will not ventilate the entire building.
'
c. Eliminate all unnecessary ventilation. Ventilating equipment is usually sized . to meet extreme requirements. In a theater or auditorium, do not supply enough ventilation for an audience of 2000 when there are only 200 present.
2. Limit the hours of heating to those in which the required temperature is necessary.
. a. Determine the hours that heating is required and see that steam is shut off for ' the maximum time when not required, such as nights, Sundays, and holidays.
. b. Shut stc&m off entirely in unoccupied sections of the building, taking care to
avoid freezing plumbing.
.
/
c. Install separate lines for those parts of the building that require long-hour or
24-hour heating. This is much cheaper than heating the entire building. .
. d. Control the heat supplied to.water storage tanks located on or above the roof.
Such tanks require heat to prevent freezing when the outdoor temperature is
below 32 F.
. '.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
As stated in Chapter 34, Automatic Control, properly applied to heating,
ventilating and air conditioning systems, makes possible the maintenance
of desired conditions with maximum operating economy.. The use of ade
quate temperature control provides more healthful, comfortable, and
efficient working conditions in buildings.
-
. There' are three general means of obtaining centralized control of heat output of radiators.
' 1. Controlling the rate of steam flow into the radiators.- This is accomplished by equipping the radiator inlets with orifices and controlling the flow of steam through them into the radiator by controlling the difference in pressure between the supply and return.
2. Controlling the temperature of steam in the radiators by varying its pressure. This involves the use of high vacuums to obtain low steam temperatures. This must be sup plemented by some other type of control for low heat output. f
3. Controlling the length of time steam flows into the radiators by admitting steam to a
heating system intermittently and varying the length of the on and off periods. Two
types of controls are used. (1) A clock control providing on and off settings of various
lengths, which can be changed in accordance with outside temperatures. In most cases
these changes are made automatically, by means of a thermostatic bulb, placed out
doors. (2) A control, having an outdoor bulb and a bulb attached to the radiator, which
varies the length and frequency of the on intervals in such a way that the radiator tem
perature is varied according to the outside temperature. In'some cases heat supply is
controlled by combinations of the three methods described.
-
Before installing any type of modern temperature control equipment, it is necessary to see that the heating system is put in good operating condition. In general, the heating system in a building is not given the attention that other mechanical equipment is given because it will con tinue to function, after a fashion, even though changes in piping, location. of radiation, settlement of piping, and the normal wear and tear or other . changes have taken place. Because of this depreciation of the system, operation becomes more and more costly and parts of the building have to be greatly overheated in order to prevent underheating in other parts. Vents, traps, vacuum pumps, and valves should be given a careful in spection and replaced or repaired if required. The piping should be of adequate size and graded properly. The return piping should be in spected, and any pockets or lifts removed and properly vented. These inspections and repairs are not costly and may prevent a much greater outlay in future years. In most cities district heating companies will be willing to make a survey of heating systems and. offer recommendations in regard to operation and changes in piping layout.
The selection of control equipment depends upon the type and size of building and the degree of saving which may be obtainable. ,

ELECTRIC heating is steadily assuming a more important place in heating, ventilating-and air conditioning installations because .it is flexible, clean, safe, convenient and easy to control. It has many basic
principles in common with fuel heating,, but there are also important
differences. When heat is delivered by wire, no combustion process is necessary, either at a central plant or at the individual room units. The
output of an electric heater is a fixed constant, unaffected by the tem
perature of the surrounding air and it follows that the total load on an
electric heating system is the total wattage of connected electric heaters,
regardless of weather conditions. The main obstacle to the more general
adoption of electric heating for buildings is the cost of the electricity itself.
All heat is a form of energy. Fuels hold stored chemical .energy which
is released into heat by combustion. Electrical power is a form of energy
which can'be released into heat by passing it through a resisting material.
Both fuel and electric heating have two divisions: first, the conversion Of
energy into heat; second, the distribution and practical use of the heat
after it is produced.
. '
In converting the chemical energy of fuels into heat by combustion,
there is necessarily a considerable variation in thermal efficiency. This
is not true, however, when converting electric power into heat, as 100
per cent of the energy applied to the resistor is always transformed into
heat. In electric heating practice no concern need be given to efficiencies
of heat production, but rather to efficiencies of heat utilization. The,
problem is to distribute the electrically produced heat units in such manner as to obtain conditions of maximum comfort with the minimum
consumption of electricity.
" DEFINITIONS
Definitions of general terms used in fuel heating are given in Chapter, 1. Terms which apply particularly to electric heating are as follows:
Electric Resistor: A material used to produce heat by passing an electric current
through it.
Electric Heating Element: A unit assembly consisting of a resistor, insulated sup
ports, and terminals for connecting the resistor to electric power.
.
Electric Heater: A complete assembly of heating elements with their enclosure,
ready for installation in service.
RESISTORS AND HEATING ELEMENTS
Solids, liquids, and gases may be used as resistors, but most com mercial electric heating elements have solid resistors, such as metal alloys, and non-metallic compounds containing carbon. In some types of" electric boilers, water forms the resistor which is heated by an alternatingcurrent'of electricity'passing through it. One of the more common
541
542
CHAPTER 30
1946 Guide
resistors is nickel-chromium wire or ribbon which, in order to avoid oxidation, contains practically no iron. -
Commercial electric heating elements are made in many types. Some '
have resistors exposed to the air being heated. The resistors may be coils
of wire or metal ribbon, supported by refractory insulation, or they may
be non-metallic rods, mounted on insulators. This type of element is
used extensively for operation at high temperatures when radiant heat is.
desired, also at low temperatures for convection and fan circulation
heating, especially in large installations. -
,
Some elements have metallic resistors embedded in a refractory insu lating material, encased in a protective sheath of metal. Fins or extended surfaces may be used to add heat-dissipating area. Elements are made in many forms, such as strips, rings, plates and tubes. Strip elements are used for clamping to surfaces requiring heat by conduction, and in some, types of convection air heaters. Ring and plate elements are used in electric ranges, waffle irons, and in many small air heaters. Tubular elements may be immersed in liquids, cast into metal, and, when formed into coils, used in electric ranges and air heaters." Cloth fabrics woven from flexible resistor wires and asbestos thread are used for many low temperature purposes such, as heating pads and aviators' clothing. -
Special incandescent lamps are used as heating elements in certain applications where radiant heat is desired. These.use carbon or tungsten filaments as resistors, and are designed to produce maximum energy in the infra-red portion of the spectrum.
ELECTRIC HEATERS '
Electric heaters may be divided into four groups: conduction, radiant, .'convection, and induction.
Conduction electric heaters, which deliver most of their heat by actual
contact with the object to be heated, are used in such.applications as.
aviators' clothing, hot pads, foot warmers, soil heaters, ice melters, and'
water heaters. Conduction heaters are useful in conserving and localizing
heat delivery at definite points. They are not suitable for general air'
heating.
.' -
Radiant electric heaters, which deliver most of their heat by radiation,
have high temperature heating elements and reflectors to concentrate
the heat rays in the desired directions. The immediate and pleasant
sensation of warmth which is caused by radiant heat makes this type
desirable for temporary use where the heat rays can fall directly upon the
body. They are not satisfactory for general air hearing, as radiant heat
rays do not warm the air through which they pass. They must first be
absorbed by walls, furniture, or other solid objects which then give up the
heat to the air. For a discussion of electrically heated panels as applied
to radiant heating, see Chapter 31.
.
Gravity convection electric heaters, designed to induce thermal air circu-
Jation, deliver heat largely by convection, and should be located and used
in much the same manner as steam and hot water radiators or convectors.
They generally have heating elements of large area, with moderate surface
temperature, enclosed to give proper stack effect to draw cold air from
the floor line. The flexibility possible with electric heating elements
should discourage the use of secondary mediums for heat transfer. Water
and steam add nothing to the efficiency of an electric heater and entail
expensive construction and maintenance.

Induction Heaters are described'in the section on Electronic Heating
by Induction and Electronic Means.

.
UNIT HEATERS
Electric unit heaters include a built-in fan unit which circulates room
air over the heating elements. Heaters of this type are manufactured in
many designs and sizes, and can be located in the same manner as steam
unit heaters.
'.
Electric unit heaters are used in industrial plants, sub-stations, power
houses, pumping stations, etc., where the power rate for electric heating
is found to be favorable. In many large plants, such as flourmills, grain
elevators, etc., in which there are a number of small offices, locker rooms,
etc., scattered over wide areas, electric unit heaters are frequently
economical in such locations. In small unattended stations, where.
.' freezing temperatures cannot be permitted, thermostatically-controlled
electric unit heaters are frequently used to maintain a temperature above
freezing. The best location for the heaters depends upon local circum
stances as they can be mounted on the ceiling to direct the air downward,
Power supply

on the side wall about 7 ft from the floor, or near the floor line. Variations in design are necessary for different locations, as with steam unit heaters,
see Chapter 26.
'
The arrangement of the wiring circuits is very important for electric - unit heaters:' In. principle they are all the same and include as essential
elements an automatic control panel, a thermostat, and a master hand switch. All heaters should be designed with a safety thermal trip wired . in series with the magnet coil of. the control panel and with the hand . switch and thermostat. A typical wiring diagram is shown in Fig. 1. This applies to a single phase power supply, but for 3-phase the only difference . is to have a 3-pole panel and a heater arrangement for 3-phase connection.
Portable unit heaters are useful for temporary work, such as drying out
- damp rooms', or for warming rooms during construction.
CENTRAL FAN HEATING
Electric heating elements can be- used for the prime source of heat in a central fan electric heating system, or in the heating phase of a complete air conditioning system. They can be used in the same manner as steam heating units for tempering, preheating or reheating the air at the main supply fan location and as booster heaters at the delivery terminals of the duct system: In the humidification phase of air conditioning electric heating elements can be used to provide moisture by the evaporation

of water, or for controlling air washer dew-point temperatures when mounted as preheating units on the intake side .of the air washer. (See ` Chapter 43.)
In coordinating the input of heat energy and the volume of air circu lation, a basic difference between electric heating and steam heating enters into the problem.. Steam is approximately a constant-temperature source of heat for any given pressure and a change in air volume flowing oyer steam coils does not greatly affect the temperatures of the delivered air. The amount of steam condensed (heat input) varies in proportion to the air volume, but the. surface temperature of the steam coils remains about the same. Electric heat is quite different, having a constant input of energy. If the volume of air flow over electric heating elements is changed, and no change is made in. the electrical power connections, there wilj be a corresponding change in the temperature of the air delivered. This occurs because the electrical energy input remains constant and the surface temperature of the heating elements will vary as is necessary to force the air to accept all the heat. With electric heat the total heat is constant unless some compensating action is performed by control. Auto-

by contact with the hot surfaces. To lessen the likelihood of the heating elements burning out, they should be of substantial construction, with a low heat density per unit of surface area and provision should be made for cleaning off deposits of scale which restrict the heat flow. A typical
resistance type of steam or hot water boiler is shown in Fig. 2.
Large electric boilers are usually of the type employing water, as the
resistor, using immersed electrodes. With this type only alternating
current can be used, as direct current would cause electrolytic deteriora
tion. Such a type of electrode boiler is shown in Fig. 3.
;
Electric steam boilers are useful in industrial plants which require,
limited amounts of steam for local processes, and also for sterilizers,
jacketed vessels and pressing machines which need a ready supply of'
steam. It sometimes is economical to shut down the main plant fuel
Fig. 2. Resistance Type Boiler for Stkam or Hot Water
matic variation of the electrical heat input synchronized properly with
the air flow can be successfully accomplished by various special methods
of control. By-pass dampers as used in steam units will not control
electric heat.
..
.
Electric heaters are useful in balancing the heat distribution in central fan heating systems. Even in those instances where steam is the principal ' heat source, the temperature of individual rooms'can be controlled locally by" separate electric booster heaters. These heaters can be installed in branch ducts or behind the air outlet grilles in each room. With this arrangement, the central heating unit distributes air at an average temper ature, controlled from a thermostat centrally located, such as in the main return duct. The electric booster heaters may be controlled by thermo stats mounted in each individual room which permit the occupant to maintain any desired temperature independent of the rest of the building.
ELECTRIC BOILERS
Steam or hot water generating boilers using electric energy are entirely automatic and are well adapted to intermittent operation. . Small electric boilers usually have, heating elements of the enclosed metal resistor type immersed in the water. Boilers of this construction may be used either with direct or alternating-current since the heat is delivered to the water

superfluous.

ELECTRIC HOT WATER HEATING
.
Electric water heating, using an'electric boiler in place of a fuel burning boiler, like electric steam heating, is generally confined to auxiliary or other- limited applications. The use of insulated water storage tanks, in which to store heat generated by electricity during off-peak hours at extremely low rates, is a development which has some special applications.
In this system of heating, the primary storage tank is simply a large, well-insulated, pressure type steel tank, equipped with electric heating elements and automatic time switches, which also have automatic limit controls for temperature and pressure. _ The heating system installed in the building may be of any standard individual radiator or fan-served indirect type or with provisions for the heating and humidification phases

of an air conditioning system. 'A system of this kind requires very careful.. design to avoid excessive over-all radiation losses during periods of low heat demand. It is also important to provide for sudden changes in heat
demand. A typical hot water heating boiler is illustrated in Fig. 2.
HEATING DOMESTIC WATER BY ELECTRICITY1
Electric water heaters of the automatic storage type for domestic hot water supply are simple and reliable. In many sections of the country low electric rates have been established by the electric utilities to secure this load. In many localities, electric rate schedules divide the current used for water heating into two classifications, regular and off-peak. A time switch automatically limits,use of the off-peak heating element to the hours of off-peak load, while the regular heating element is a stand-by at all times. Storage of this two-element type of water heater is larger than average to carry over the periods when the off-peak element is timed

out, without too frequent demands on the regular heating element which takes the. higher domestic lighting service rate. Some utilities now offer a.schedule which, beyond a stipulated minimum, lowers the rate for all
electric service if an electric water heater is installed.
'
Competition with other fuels, especially gas, seems to be the major controlling factor in the' use of electricity. The first cost of electric storage heaters is greater than, for gas, owing to the need for larger tank storage due to off-peak service and slower recuperating capacity.
In residential work, to effect a saving in the cost of operation, it is sometimes desirable to use a furnace coil or indirect heater in connection ' with an electric water heater. In this case it is important to. make the proper connections in order to benefit by any heat obtained from, the furnace and at the same time to prevent dangerous overheating. The' proper piping connections are shown in Fig. 4, and in this case the electric . heater will only furnish heat when insufficient heat, is supplied from the furnace. This arrangement has a further advantage in the summertime in that the bare tank through which the cold water passes on its way to the electric heater, serves as a tempering tank, absorbing, heat from, the basement air and requiring the use of less energy in the electric heater;
Atypical domestic hot water heater as shown in Fig. 5 is arranged with

upper and lower heating elements for the usual type of off-peak heating service. The .lower heating element is under the control of the off-peak time switch. However, the upper heating element is usually connected to the line so that, in case the supply of hot water in the tank becomes . exhausted, the top thermostat can turn on the top heater and heat a small . supply of water. The top heater will not heat the water in the tank' below its location, but when the off-peak period arrives the lower heater is turned on and the entire tank becomes heated.
HEATING BY REVERSED CYCLE REFRIGERATION
Reversed refrigeration is frequently referred to as a heat pump since the electric motor driving the refrigerating compressor furnishes the motive power to transfer heat from one temperature to a higher temperature level. . The compressor acts as a reversible refrigerating unit to extract :heat from the outdoor air in winter and deliver it indoors for heating purposes, and, by a reversal, to extract heat from the indoor air in summer and discharge it outdoors.
In normal use a refrigerating machine is arranged to remove heat and
the heat removed is dissipated to the condenser cooling water. The
driving energy is converted into heat, most of which is added to the heat
removed and extracted. In so-called reversed refrigeration the heat
removed together with the heat converted from the driving energy is ,
utilized to heat the building. This conservation of the heat converted
from the driving energy enables the reversed refrigeration to show a
better performance in heating service than straight refrigeration can show,
in cooling service. In order to overcome the drop in capacity and in
efficiency with lower outside temperatures, it is often desirable to use
well-water instead of air as the source of heat. For a detailed description
of this cycle see Chapter 39.
'
.
AUXILIARY ELECTRIC HEATING
In conjunction with heating systems of other types, an auxiliary elec-
tric'heating arrangement is a convenient means of caring for mild days,
in the spring and fall which require little heat to make a building com
fortable. \ Likewise, such electric heating might be used on abnormally
cold days to help out the main heating system and by , this means reduce
the necessary .size of the system.
.
.
A few installations have been made using electric heating cable buried
in the floors of bathrooms, etc., to provide auxiliary electric heating. At .
least one airplane hangar is heated in this manner. .
,
Because of the feeling of comfort that a radiant type heater gives, bathrooms may be heated electrically with this type of heater while the rest of the house is cared for by some other system. Offices and rooms which require heat at periods when the main heating plant is shut down can be conveniently heated electrically.
CONTROL
Because the efficiency of electric heat production is the same for ,
small and large units, it is possible to reduce heat waste to a minimum'
by applying local heating, locally controlled. Heaters are often controlled
manually but thermostatic control is essential for economical operation.
For duct systems having a variable volume of air flow the electric heater
control must automatically vary the heat input in coordination with the
changes in air volume and demand for heat.

CALCULATING CAPACITIES
In calculating electric heating capacity one kilowatt is equal to 3413 Btu per hour or 14.2 sq ft equivalent direct steam radiation.
INDUSTRIAL USES FOR ELECTRIC HEAT
Electric heating is valuable for many industrial processes in both low
and high temperature ranges. It is easily controlled and can be justified
.where savings in labor or improved quality of product outweigh the
inherent higher cost per unit of heat as compared with other fuels.
Important examples are metal melting and heat treating furnaces,-ovens,
dryers, laboratory equipment, cooking vessels, oil preheaters, catalysts,
and countless other special uses.
.
RADIANT DRYING
Lacquers and similar surface films can be very effectively dried by radiation. Special electric lamp bulbs have been developed which give off a high percentage of infra-red and similar heat rays2. These are mounted in very efficient reflectors. For continuous manufacturing processes these reflectors are mounted in tunnels through which conveyors pass. For local applications, as for example paint drying in automobile repair'shops, they may be mounted on portable racks.
In the application of this type of drying the composition of the paint or lacquer is important. In general, lacquers and those enamels using synthetic resins react most favorably. Other applications include the drying of ink, glue, and water, the softening of celluloid and bakelite for punching or shearing, and a wide variety of other uses5. .
Objects of relatively large surface area in proportion to their weight, and fabricated materials having a rather high heat absorption, may be satisfactorily heated by such a source.
ELECTRONIC HEATING BY INDUCTION AND ELECTROSTATIC MEANS
These methods differ radically from .resistance heating as they employ
high frequency radio waves to apply the energy which produces heat.
High frequency heating has many important industrial uses and opens
up a whole new field of special applications where extreme accuracy and
speed are vital. Some spectacular results are being attained with this
modern industrial tool. Skillful engineering design and experience are
necessary to produce safe and satisfactory performance, but this technical .
assistance is now available from many sources. >
'
Metals can be heated by induction. When the work is placed in a magnetic field within a high frequency coil, eddy currents immediately produce heat in the body of the metallic piece. The speed and intensity of this heating can be regulated by controlling the high frequency cur rents producing the magnetic field and the location of the spot heated by the position of the work piece within the coil. . Induction heating is very useful in special processes such as melting metals, brazing; forging, heat treating, etc; 'If is possible to apply localized heat so rapidly that conduction cannot draw the heat away before it has time to accomplish the desired purpose at a particular spot. One example is the rapid hardening of a tool edge or tip too quickly for scale to form.
Electric Heating
549
Dielectric materials can be heated internally by introducing them into an electrostatic field between high frequency electrode plates. Foods can be sterilized, plywoods bonded, plastics heated, granular or crystal line materials dehydrated, and countless other products heated quickly and uniformly, although they are poor thermal conductors and resist heat applied to their exteriors. Electrostatic heating is ideally suited for . continuous production processes as the materials can pass through the heating field quickly with very short exposures to the high frequency
radio waves.
,'
POWER PROBLEMS
The. cost of electric energy varies because of several factors. Distribu
tion costs differ for large and small users. The fact that electricity cannot
be economically stored, but must be used as fast as it is generated, makes
it impossible to operate electric plants at uniform loads; hence, even the
time of use may affect the cost of electricity. Special low rates are some
times available during certain prescribed hours of use.
'
Since the cost of production and distribution depends not only upon the quantity of energy used but also upon the maximum rate at which it is used, electric energy is often sold on a demand rate basis. In some cases, the demand charge is based upon the rated connected load, in other cases, upon the maximum demand as indicated by a demand meter.
Homes are almost universally supplied with lighting current of 115 volts, which can only be. used economically for small heaters. Usually . the service lines will not permit more than plug-in devices. The Under writers permit approved heaters of 1320 watts or less to be plugged into approved baseboard receptacles, but such heaters cannot be served on a circuit supplying much other load without overloading the fuses. There is an Increasing trend toward supplying homes with three wire 115-230 . volt service. Where homes have such service, larger heaters can be installed.- For industrial purposes, heaters should be designed to use. polyphase power, which is usually supplied at 208, 220, 440 or 550 volts. All polyphase heaters should be balanced between phases. In ordering electric.heaters the proper voltage must be specified as the heat produced will vary as the square of any variation in voltage.

Influence of Heat Radiation on Human Comfort, Objectives of Radiant Heating, Practical Problems of Radiant Heating from a Physiological Standpoint, Fundamental Computations, Application Methods, Calculation Principles, Measurement
. and Control
IT has been pointed out in Chapter 12 that the human body loses heat to its environment in three ways; by convection, radiation, and evaporation. The Effective Temperature Chart takes account of con vection and evaporation, but does not provide for such radiative effects . as occur when room air and its surrounding, surfaces differ widely in temperature.
INFLUENCE OF HEAT RADIATION ON HUMAN COMFORT
When, however, the body is exposed to radiation from a hot surface or
is radiating to a cold surface, the factor of radiative heat gain or heat loss
may be important. This phenomenon is most marked in the case of
exposure to the sun's radiative heat. On a cold day, with no wind blowing,
while standing in the sunshine, one may feel perfectly comfortable but,
when a .cloud passes over the sun, one may instantly feel much cooler.
The cloud acts as a shield to interrupt the radiant heat from the sun.
The change in feeling of comfort is due to the instant change in rate of
heat loss from the body caused by the shielding effect of the cloud. A
shielded thermometer under the same condition would register no change
in temperature.
'.
The rate of heat loss by convection depends upon the average tem
perature difference between the surface of the body and the surrounding
air, the shape and size of the body, and the rate of air motion over the
body.
.
.
The rate of-heat loss by radiation depends upon the exposed surface area of the body, and upon the difference between the mean surface temperature of the body and the mean surface temperature of the sur rounding walls or other objects. This latter temperature is called theMean Radiant Temperature (MRT).
Because these two types of heat loss supplement each other, a required
. rate of total heat loss can result either from a relatively low air tempera
ture and a relatively high MRT, or vice versa.
.
At the temperature which produces comfort (and at all lower, tempera tures) the production of sweat is low' and the heat loss by evaporation is . relatively low and relatively constant, irrespective of the relative humid ity of the atmosphere. Under such conditions the heat loss from the body . is chiefly related to the combined effect of convection and radiation. The heat demand of the environment, so, far as these two factors are con cerned, may be measured by Operative Temperature, which is defined by the following formula, modified from that of Gagge1 by the expression of. air velocity in feet per minute and temperature in Fahrenheit degrees.

.
At high environmental temperatures, a given Operative Temperature with cold air and hot walls produces a slightly greater cooling effect on the body than the same Operative Temperature with air and wall tem peratures equal, probably on account of local cooling of the nose and throat2. This phenomenon is not important in the comfort zone.
Under ordinary conditions, with normally clothed human beings in still air, the mean skin temperature of the body is about 90 F (with lower values for the extremities); and the mean temperature of the surface of the clothing is about 86 F.
The normal rate of heat production in an average sized sedentary individual is about 400 Btu per hour. The heat' production for persons subjected to various rates of activity is given in Chapter 12. The human
body is of complicated shape, and radiation takes placfe freely only from the exposed outer surfaces; there are considerable portions of the body such as the legs, arms, lower part of the head, etc., which radiate most of their heat to other portions. It is necessary to determine the equivalent surface of the body from which heat is radiated and a similar value for convection. The total may be assumed to be about 19.5,sq ft for con.vection.and 15.5 sq ft for radiation, in an average sized individual.
The loss by respiration and by evaporation from the nose and throat depends on the temperature and area of the moist surfaces (respiratory) of the body, the air, temperature, air movement, and humidity. In air at a temperature of 70 F, this loss, for a sedentary individual of average size, will be approximately 90 Btu per hour; and at 60 F about 70 Btu per hour. These values are relative, because the total will vary .materially with change of position, bodily activity, age, sex, race, etc.
The balance of the heat generated in the average human body, approxi
mately 300 to 320 Btu per hour at about 70 F room temperature, is the
approximate amount of heat given off by radiation and by convection
from the external body surfaces. Under normal conditions (in still air),
the radiation loss will be about 190 Btu per hour; and the convection loss
about 120 Btu per hour. With an air velocity of '520.fpm, comfort will'
require an increase in Operative Temperature of nearly 12 deg; under such
conditions the convection loss will rise to 250 Btu per hour but comfort
may be attained if the subject is surrounded by heated walls which keep
the radiation loss at about 50 Btu3.
,
It' is neither feasible nor desirable to change the relationships of con vection and radiation very greatly in actual heating practice. In the laboratory, where the laws of radiative heat loss have been-deduced, it is necessary to produce wide differences between radiative and convective heat loss. This can only be accomplished, however, by elaborate and powerful conditioning apparatus which simultaneously heats walls and cools air, or vice versa. Such a process would be very costly in practice and would not be justified unless marked improvement in comfort resulted from such a condition--an assumption which has not been demonstrated. In practice, where radiant heat is introduced into a room,,'

that heat is absorbed by surfaces, furniture, and the like, and then trans formed into convective heat so that air and surfaces tend to attain a generally uniform temperature.
OBJECTIVES OF RADIANT HEATING
Under ordinary circumstances the human being, indoors, is not sub
jected to marked variations between the factors affecting convection arid
radiation. Air and walls are not commonly very far apart in temperature;
air movement and relative humidity are Usually low. Where such con
ditions obtain, the ordinary air thermometer is a good measure of comfort
--which is the reason why it has enjoyed such universal use. Where con
siderable window surfaces create heavy radiation loss, or where stoves or
open fires, or very hot ceilings contribute to large radiation gain, the
picture is changed and the air temperature productive of comfort must
be correspondingly modified.
,
In general, however, radiant heating of occupied spaces is not a pro
cedure designed to create differences between air and walls, but is merely one method of introducing heat into that space. The engineering factors used in determining desirable heat input will be essentially the same as if the heat were introduced by convection, or in any other way.
PRACTICAL PROBLEMS OF RADIANT HEATING FROM A PHYSIOLOGICAL STANDPOINT
It is convenient to distinguish two different methods of introducing radiant heat into an enclosed space. The first, which may be called High-Temperature -Radiation, involves direct exposure of the occupied parts of the room to radiation emitted from relatively small heating units of very high temperatures (perhaps 1,000 F); the second, Panel Heating, involves exposure-to relatively large surfaces at not over 130 F.
High-Temperature Radiant Heating may be useful for temporary purposes, as in the use of a bathroom heater. It is, however, generally an undesirable process (except in rooriis of great height) on account of the marked unevenness of the effect produced on the human body. Studies at the John B. Pierce Laboratory of Hygiene have shown that this type of heating produces uncomfortable differences in the temperature of different parts of the body (an over-heated head, for example, if the heat comes from the ceiling).
Panel Heating, on the other hand, is advantageous from the standpoint of temperature differentials. In actual practice, a well-designed system of this sort produces very uniform conditions, the air throughout the room differing at various points by only 5 deg. This is desirable from the comfort standpoint and may also be a factor in heat economy, since high temperatures in the upper part of the room favor excessive heat loss. The esthetic value of such a system is also considerable, since it avoids the presence of registers or free-standing radiators in the room.
' In the design of Panel Heating, however, careful thought must be given to the location of the panels from the standpoint of comfort. The English commonly use the ceiling for their panels, but their rooms are generally high-studded; arid outdoor winter temperatures moderate. With low ceilings everi panels may produce an excessive directional heating effect if all the heat necessary in a cold climate is introduced from above. Similarly, if the floor alone is used, it may---in very cold weather1--be necessary to make the floor too hot for comfort. Wall panels, or a com bination of ceiling and floor panels, wili perhaps produce the best results.

FUNDAMENTAL COMPUTATIONS
The mean surface temperature of an inert body, which will cause given rates of heat loss by radiation and by convection in a uniform environ ment, having a given air temperature and a given mean wall temperature, may be calculated from fundamental equations1 for radiation and natural convection, with substitution of comparable cylinders for the irregular human body.

If it is assumed that an average adult has a height of 5 ft 8 in., a body surface of 19.5 sq ft for convection, and 15.5 sq ft for radiation, an-equivaleiit effect can be worked out for two cylinders, 5 ft 8 in. high by 13.15 in. diameter and 10.45 in: diameter, respectively. However, while the effects . on a cylinder, of a particular size and shape may be used to estimate average similar effects on the human body, it should be remembered that the heat loss from the body varies greatly. Every movement alters not.. only its shape, but also the heat generated by the body, the velocity of the air passing over it and the surface exposed to radiation. This fact renders the results of any such computation only approximate.
APPLICATION METHODS
.
The several methods of applying panel and radiant heating to. a
structure are:
./
1. By warming Ike interior wall and ceiling surface of the building. Pipe coils are - '
imbedded in the concrete or plaster of the walls or ceilings,^the heating medium being hot
water circulating through the plipe coils. These coils are generally constructed of small
pipe M'or in. I.D. and spaced about 6 to 9 in. apart..- See Fig. 1. This has the effect
of warming the entire concrete or plaster surface in which the pipes are imbedded. Since
the temperature of the heating medium should never exceed about 130 F, due to the
possibility of cracking the plaster the area of the warmed surface must be sufficient to
supply the requisite quantity of heat at this low temperature. When carefully designed,
this method produces very comfortable results and great operating economy, but offers .
some slight obstacles when alterations or additions to the building are desirable..
Normally the hot water circulation is maintained by means of a circulating pump and ,
facilities have to be provided to eliminate all air at the top of the system. All coils and
circulating pipes are welded together and tested after erection to a hydraulic pressure
of 300 psi.
..
. ...
. 2. By circulating warm air through shallow ducts under the floor.. In this design the entire floor surface of a room is heated as in Fig. 2. This method was used 2000 years . ago in many parts of the Roman Empire. While this method is more expensive in con struction, it is effective and quite suitable for cathedrals and iarge public buildings.
To provide a uniform floor temperature, one should give special consideration to the design of the air ducts so that equal heat distribution is obtained.
Panel Heating and Radiant Heating
,555
3. By placing hot water pipes in or under the floor. With this arrangement the whole floor surface of a room is raised to a temperature sufficient'to give comfortable conditions. Floor heating is recommended for schools and hospitals where large quantities of outside air are desirable. The floor surface may be.of concrete, wood blocks, marble or any other . material unaffected by heat, and while it is true that heat will be conducted through all materials used in floor construction, it is important that due consideration'be given to the emissivity of the floor. In some cases where pipe coils are installed in the air space
Fig. 1. Coils in Wall Surfaces
Fig. 2. Air Ducts for Floor Heating
under the floor, special floors are constructed in sections so that the whole floor can be lifted to examine the coils. See Fig. 3. Pipes supported thus may be larger and the heating medium maintained at a higher temperature than when pipes are actually imbedded in the floor. Pipes may be 1H or 2 in. in the former, but for the latter % or I in. pipes are recommended. See Fig. 4. Where the heat losses from a. room are ex ceptionally high it may be necessary to supplement the warm floor by either adding some coils in the ceiling or forming heated panels in the side walls.
4. By attaching separate heated metal plates or panels to the interior surfaces. These plates or panels are placed either in an insulated recess so that the surface of the panel is flush with the surface of the walls or ceilings, or they may be secured to the face of the wall. They may be covered with wood veneers and decorated to harmonize with other
556
CHAPTER 31 '

parts of the room, or they may be cast into panels to imitate oak or other wood designs. With fiat plate panels it is common practice to use a frame of plaster, wood, metal or composition to allow for expansion. These plates may be heated with either hpt water or steam and connected as in an ordinary radiator system. See Figs. 5 and 6. .
5. By electric heated metal plates or panels. These plates or panels are either placed in insulated recesses of walls or ceilings or fastened to the construction, as.found desirable. They should not have a surface temperature much above 200 F. Some have a much higher surface temperature but a lower temperature gives a more comfortable condition and is more efficient.
' 6. By electrically heated tapestry mounted on screens and on the wall. For. this purpose
the screen is woven with an electric continuous conductor. Such screens are useful to
plug in at any position for emergency local heating without taking care of a large room1
or office.
.
Panel Heating and Radiant Heating
,$57
heating systems should, in general, be operated continuously since the
panels have large thermal capacities. Where panels are heated by high
temperature radiation from a heat source directed toward them, this
qualification does not apply.
*
.
1. Assume tfie location and the approximate size of the heating panel.
Heating panels may be located in ceilings or floors or walls. Ceiling panels have the
advantage that their heat emission is not affected by tapestry or furniture and that they
can be used, to a limited extent, as cooling panels during the summer months. If used
in low rooms, however, they may produce an undesirable heating effect upon the head.
Floor panels have the advantage that they can be easily installed and that much of the
radiated heat is delivered to the lower portions of the walls; they have the disadvantage
that their heat emission is rather uncertain, since it may be affected by rugs, carpets,
furniture, machinery, etc.
.
It is best to make the panels as large as practicable; for example, if the floor or ceiling is used as the heating panel, it is best to use the entire floor or the entire ceiling, or both. Heating a room by means of panels is very similar to lighting a room. Heat radiation is exactly like light radiation, except that it has a longer wave length. If a room is lighted

.
Note. If all of a heating panel is installed at one end of a large room there may be a marked difference between the equivalent temperature on the two sides of the body. It is usually desirable, therefore, that the heat be distributed at different parts of the walls and ceilings so that no uncomfortable effect will be felt from unequal heating.
, CALCULATION PRINCIPLES
Part I--Panel Heating
The term panel heating, involving both radiatio'n and convection, is 1 applied in this chapter to a system in which the heat is transmitted from pane! surfaces to both air and surrounding surfaces, as is the case under indoor conditions.
Panel heating systems for buildings may be designed as illustrated and described in the following design of a panel heating system , for the room shown in Fig. 7. The design is based on continuous heating.- Panel
Fig. 7. Room Plan Used forIllustration of Method of Designing a Panel Heating System
by means of a large number of small units distributed uniformly over the ceiling, the room
is lighted more uniformly than if it is lighted by means of a-single unit of equal capacity.
Similarly, if the entire ceiling is the heating panel, the room is heated more uniformly
than if only a fractional part of the ceiling is used as the heating panel.
"
. In the following example, the entire ceiling will be used as the heating
panel.
'v
2. Select the desired mean temperature of the air in the room.
;`
In a panel-heated room, the mean air temperature is a few degrees lower than the mean temperature of the surfaces of .the enclosing walls, floor, and ceiling. In a room heated by -introduction of warm air or by means of radiators, convectors, or other similar heating appliances, located within the room, the mean temperature of the air is a few degrees higher than the mean temperature of the surfaces of the enclosing walls, floor, and ceiling. Under ordinary conditions, in a panel-heated room, the mean tem perature of the air ranges from approximately 65 F to 72 F.
In the following example, 68 F is selected as the mean air temperature.,,,
3. Determine as accurately as practicable, the mean temperature of the
inside surfaces of the enclosing walls, floor, and ceiling. '.
.
The two inside walls are assumed to separate rooms, which are filled with 68 F air, so that both surfaces of each wall are in close contact with 68-F air. ' The surface tern-
558
CHAPTER 31
1946 Guide
peratures of these walls, therefore, can not be lower than 68 F and must actually be higher than 68 F because, in addition to their contact with 68 F air and their contact with the heated ceiling, they are exposed to the heat radiation from the ceiling.
In the following example, 70 F will be selected as the mean surface
temperature of the inside walls.
'
*'
-
For'the two outside walls, the mean inside surface temperature can be calculated' with fair accuracy. For a heat transmission coefficient of 0.25 and a temperature difference of 68 deg, heat flows through the wall at the rate of 17 Btuh per square foot. If the indoor film coefficient is 1.65, the temperature difference, indoor air to inside wall surface, is.17/1.65 or 10 deg and the wall surface temperature is 68 -- 10, or 58 F. This value may be taken directly from Fig. 8. However, the film coefficient 1.65 was deter-

- "Note: The value of U, the over-all coefficient of heat transmission, cannot exceed 1.29 if the inside

mined to represent the sum of the heat flow into the. wall, by conduction from the air in
contact with, the wall, and by radiation from the warmer surfaces seen by the wall
. surface. In a panel-heated room, the rate of heat flow into the outside wail by, radiation
is greater than it is in a radiator-heated room; consequently, the film coefficient is higher, ,
and the temperature difference, air to wall surface, is smaller, and therefore, the wall
surface temperature is higher than the calculated 58 F. It is impossible to determine
accurately how much higher than 58 F the temperature of the wall surface will be until
the corresponding indoor air film coefficient has been determined accurately.
.
; In the. following example, 60 F will be selected as. the probable mean
inside surface temperature of the outside walls.
'
The probable mean inside surface temperatures of the floor and the glass may: be
determined by calculations and by reasoning similar to that employed, to determine
the inside surface temperature of the outside walls.
`.
. In. the following example, SO F and 70 F will be selected as the probable
inside surface temperatures of the glass and floor, .respectively.

4. Determine the heat loss of the room.
.
In the.following example, the heat loss calculation will be based on an outdoor air temperature of 0 F. Since the functioning of a panel-heating system differs very little from that of a radiator-type heating system, the heat loss may be calculated according to Chapter 14 as shown in Table 1.
The heat loss-through the outside walls and through the.glass is probably a little
greater than calculated because the calculation is based on an indoor air film coefficient
of 1.65 Btuh, whereas, for a panel-heated room, this coefficient is a little higher, but the
difference is probably not sufficiently large to be.considered in design calculations for
a heating, system.

The Mean Radiant Temperature of the surfaces enclosing the room but not including
the heating panels may. be estimated as follows:

The sum of these products divided by the sum of the surface areas is: 95,280/1,536 or 62.03 F, the required mean surface temperature.
In the following example, 62 F wiU be selected as the MRT of walls, glass and foots.
6. Determine the temperature of the ceiling panel. -
.
Determine the temperature of the ceiling so that the ceiling panel will deliver heat
to the room at a rate equal to.the rate at which the room is calculated to lose heat,
namely, 35,117 Btuh.
.
.
When a room is heated.by means of a panel, air convection currents are developed in
the room similar to those which are developed when the room is heated by means of a
free-standing radiator. Consequently, the heating panel delivers heat to the room
partly by radiation and partly by convection. The proportion of the total heat flow
delivered by convection varies with the location of the heating panel, with the height of
the ceiling, and with the size, number, and location of pieces of furniture and other
articles which interfere with the free flow of air along the floor and along the walls. It is
generally sufficiently accurate to assume that a ceiling panel will deliver 70 per dent of
its heat by radiation and 30 per cent by convection; a floor panel 55 per cent by radiation
and 45 per cent by .convection; and a wall panel 65 per cent by radiation and .35 per cent
by convection. ,
. .
.
In the following example, it will be assumed that the ceiling panel niust
deliver 70 per cent of its. heat or. 24,582 Btuh by. radiation, since the total
calculated heat loss is 35,ll7i . . , -

When two plane surfaces of infinite size are parallel to each other and their surfaces
are at different temperatures, the exchange of heat between the two is proportional to the
difference between the fourth powers of their absolute temperatures. -This is also true
when one surface is completely surrounded by another surface; for example, if one sphere
is placed within another sphere, the flow of heat between the outer surface of the smaller
sphere and the inner surface of the larger sphere is proportional to the fourth power of
the absolute temperatures of the two surfaces.
*
-
In a panel-heated room, the heated panel may be considered to be completely en
closed by the remaining surfaces, because all heat radiated by the heated panel is inter- .
cepted by those surfaces. Consequently, the flow of heat from the heated ceiling to the ^
room, by radiation, is proportional to the difference between the fourth powers of the
absojute temperature of the ceiling and the absolute mean radiant temperature of the
remaining surfaces.
>
The rate at which a surface emits heat varies with the temperature of the surface . and with other characteristics of the surface. For ordinary heat flow calculations it is

In order that this rate may be equal to 24,582 Btuh, T must be 572 and the ceiling
temperature about 112 F.
.
*
Instead of calculating this temperature it may be taken from Fig. 9, as follows: The
ceiling must deliver heat to the room,- by radiation, at the rate of 24,582/480 or 51 Btuh
per square foot. Find 51 on the left margin and move horizontally to the intersection
with a 62 MRT line, and from the .point of intersection to the lower margin and read
about 112.F.
.
-. .
' With a-.ceiling temperature of 112 F, the MRT of the room will be 480 X 112 +
1,536 X 62; the sum divided by 2,016, or 74 F.
-.
If an air temperature of 68 F and an MRT of 74 F should not produce satisfactory
.conditions, the ceiling temi>erature can easily be changed as necessary,by.changing the.
temperature of the circulating water.

Calculations like the preceding may also be made with the aid of Table 2. The rate at which'the ceiling must radiate heat exceeds by 51 Btuh per square foot the rate at

to the ceiling, from the surfaces whose MRT is 62 F, is (Table 2) at the rate of 115.3

The medium may be electricity, steam, air, or water,, but usually is air or water.
If air is used it is generally heated in the basement, passed up through hollow inside
walls or through ducts in those walls, allowed to flow between the ceiling and the floor
above, and returned to the basement through hollow outside walls or through ducts
in those walls.
'
If the walls and floors are constructed of hollow tile, the cells in the tile.can be placed
so that they will form continuous ducts, through which the warm air can flow up the
inside-walls, then between the ceiling and-the floor, above, and down the outside walls.
In this way the walls and ceiling become heating.panels.
,
If water is used as the medium, the pipes through which the water circulates--almost
always under forced circulation--are placed in the floor, walls, or ceiling in such a manner
.. that as much as possible of the heat emitted by the pipes will be delivered to the space
to be heated.

Low surface temperature radiation is recommended regardless of the heating medium employed.
' Practical limits for surface temperatures of heating panels are given in Table 3.
In this example water will be selected as the medium. * 8. Determine the size, length, and location of the pipe coils in the panels.
When hot-water pipes are imbedded in concrete slabs or attached to plastered sur
faces, their rate of heat emission varies with many factors. If the pipes are imbedded
in dense concrete slabs, it may be.assumed that the rate of heat emission of H-in. pipe,
spaced 6 in: on centers; 5^-in. pipe, spaced 9 in. on centers; and 1-in. pipe spaced 12 in.
on centers; per foot of length of pipe and per degree difference between the temperature
of the water in the pipe and that of the air in the space to be heated, is 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2
Btuh, respectively. If the distance between the pipes is increased, the rate of heat
emission, per foot of pipe, is also increased; if the distance, is doubled, the rate of heat
emission is increased about 15 per cent. If the pipes are attached to plastered ceilings,
the rate of heat emission is slightly less,, probably about 10 per cent less, than when the
pipes are imbedded in concrete slabs. The data given regarding heat emission of panels
are intended as general guides for. the designer. Additional- experience and research
are needed to develop definite and complete data. However, after a heating panel has
been designed and installed, any small error can easily be .corrected by modifying the
temperature of the water circulating through, the coils.
.
When the heating pipes are attached to a plastered ceiling, a portion of' the heat emitted by the pipes is delivered to the space below the ceiling and a portion to the space above the ceiling. The relative quantities depend on the degree of insulation . applied above the heating coils.
When the heating pipes are imbedded in a concrete floor slab a portion of the heat
emitted by the pipes will flow upward into the space to be heated, and the remainder
will flow downward into the ground.
.
When the heating pipes are placed below the concrete floor slab .instead of being
imbedded in the slab, a larger portion of the heat will flow into the ground, and a smaller,
portion' into the space to be heated.
'
In the following example it is assumed that the insulation above the pipe coils is such that 90 per cent of the heat emitted by the pipe coils will flow into the room and 10 per cent into the space above.
Since the room is to receive 35,117 Btuh,.and since the room is assumed to receive only 90 per cent of the heat emitted by the coils attached to the plastered ceiling, the coils must emit 35,117/0.9 or 39>000 Btuh. If %-in. pipe and a mean water temperature of 140 F are selected, the heat emitted, per foot of pipe, will be 0.9 (140 -- 68) or 65 Btuh. The quantity of pipe required will therefore be 39,000/65 = 600 lineal feet.
The pipe coils can be arranged in any convenient manner, but should be arranged
so that the temperature of the water in the pipe will vary only slightly; otherwise, the
temperature distribution over the ceiling will not be uniform. Generally, it is best to
arrange the pipes so as to form two-pipe reversed-return.systems, as suggested by the
two sketches in Fig. 10; By using 33 runs of 2-in. pipe, welded to two
in. mains,
sufficient pipe surface is secured; the-^-in. pipes will then be spaced about 83^ in. on*
centers, which is satisfactory.
.
.
The friction heads of water flowing in pipes and fittings are so well known that the pipe coils can be designed so that each will receive its proper share of the hot water? without the use of balancing valves. However, it is desirable to.divide large heating-

systems into sections and* to install valves so that individual-sections can bile.discon-'
nected without interfering with the operation of the system as a.whole. ......

Part II--Radiant Heating
.;
.
. The term radiant heating is applied in this chapter to a system in which only the heat radiated from the panel is effective as in outdoor and semi- . outdoor conditions.
The outstanding example of radiant heating is the transfer of heat from the sun. to the earth. The sun radiates large quantities of energy of which a very small portion is intercepted by the earth. A part of the intercepted radiation is transformed into heat when it strikes the earth's

surface. In this, manner heat is received by the earth from the. sun by
' ' radiation.
.
. . .
In industry, radiant heating is employed in manufacturing, processes,
particularly in drying, baking, and dehydrating operations; in agricul-
.. ture, it is employed to improve living and growing conditions for young
plants and young animals.
.'
. The heating engineer employs radiant heat;primarily in the heating ofopen-air schools and open-air hospitals. When a surface radiates heat,
and every surface does unless its temperature is absolute zero,.every poin^
of the surface radiates heat in all directions. The total quantity of heat
radiated by a point or- by an elementary area is % times; the. quantity of
heat radiated at right angles to-the surface.
. ,
...
Thus, if in an elementary cube the upper face is the heating panel; the .dower face;would.receive,only about 32 per cent, of the radiated-energy
and the four-sides would receive each about 17 per cent. '- '

CHAPTER 31
1946 'Guide.
For larger surfaces the conditions are different. If two parallel plane surfaces of considerable size are hear each other, the rate of heat exchange between the two can be determined fairly accurately by means of the chart of Fig. 9. This is possible because the larger part of the heat radiated by one of the surfaces is intercepted by the other surface and only a small portion is radiated in such directions that it will not impinge upon the opposite surface.
As the distance between the two surfaces is increased, the proportion
of the heat radiated by one of the parallel plane surfaces and intercepted
by the other decreases almost as the square of the distance between the
surfaces increases, because the intensity of heat radiation, like the in
tensity of light radiation, varies inversely as the square of the distance
from the source of radiation.
'
For the purpose of designing radiant heating systems in which the heating panel is practically square and is radiating heat toward a parallel surface of equal size and shape, as shown in Fig. 11, the rate of heat exchange between the two surfaces will be equal to that shown in Fig. 9, multiplied by a factor, p, which depends upon the ratio of A to 5 (Fig. 11) as shown in the following table:
h/s = 1
2 3 4 5/
p = 0.200 0.070 0.034 0.020 O.OlS
. For example, if a panel 3 ft square is located parallel to, and 9 ft above, a bed in an open-air hospital, and if the temperature of the panel is 112 F and that of the bed is 70 F, the rate of heat transfer from the panel to a 9 sq ft section of the bed directly beneath the panel, will be 3.4 per.cent of the rate shown in Fig. 9, or 0.034 X 9 X 44, or 14 Btuh, approximately. The rate of heat transfer from the panel to a section of the bed other than the 9 sq ft directly beneath the panel will be lower than 14/9 Btuh per square foot.
This is a crude way of designing a radiant heating system for an open-
air hospital, but it is sufficiently accurate, because the required tempera
ture of the bed and the required rate of heat flow into it will vary with
the temperature of the outdoor air, with-the air movement over the bed,
with the thickness and the character of the bedding, and with the physical
condition of the patient.
..
A radiant heating system for an open-air school may be designed as described for the open-air hospital. The heating panel in such a case should be almost as large as the ceiling and, in order to keep the heat loss by radiation at a minimum, should be placed so that a maximum portion of the heat radiated by the panel will be directed toward the pupils and a minimum toward the outside walls and particularly the windows.
MEASUREMENT OF RADIANT HEATING
Radiant heating is intended to control the rate of radiant heat loss from the human body and should be measured by calorimetric methods.
, The apparatus for this purpose consists essentially of - a cylinder, maintained at the accepted mean surface temperature of the human body, together with an accurate (usually electrical) measuring of the varying rate of heat supply required to maintain this exact temperature. This' instrument, the eupatheoscope, is readily adapted to function like a thermostat so as to turn heat on or off, when the desired temperature of 80 F, or any other predetermined surface temperature of the cylinder,
Panel Heating and Radiant Heating______ ________________ , ". 565
decreases or increases as a result of changes in the Operative Temperature. For testing work; the globe thermometer is a useful instrument. It
consists of an ordinary mercury thermometer, with its bulb placed in the center of a sphere from 6 to 9 in. in diameter, usually made of thin copper and painted black and sometimes covered with cloth. The temperature recorded by thermometer with its bulb in the center of the sphere is termed the radiation-convection temperature. See Chapter 11.
CONTROL OF PANEL AND RADIANT HEATING
The effectiveness of any type of control will depend largely on' the time lag of the system. With warm air passing through floor ducts the time lag is usually too long for any kind of room thermostat, in fact a thermo-

stat will not.prove suitable with any system if the building is constructed
with massive brickwork and masonry, unless it operates in conjunction
with a time control responsive to changes in outside conditions. ,
The heat emitted by hot water pipes imbedded in the plaster of the ceiling and walls or in the concrete base of a floor can be effectively con trolled by an instrument designed to modulate the temperature of the water circulating in the system according to the outside conditions. Metal panels which can be installed in the ceiling or side walls may be either controlled by an instrument responsive to outside weather con-' ditions or by a. specially designed instrument responsive to both air temperature and radiation. Any purely on or off control system is not recommended for panel heating.
A typical control system operated from an outside thermostat and
supplemented with a room heat control instrument is illustrated in Fig. 12.
. The outside thermostat modulates the temperature of the' circulating
water in the .coils by mixing some of the hot water leaving the boiler
with a proportionate amount of return water which is diverted to the
three-way valve.

One type of room instrument consists of a blackened, copper-sphere of
6 or 8 in. in diameter, in which a cylindrical sump contains.a volatile . .
' ` liquid. A small electric heating coil creates in the.sphere a vapor .pressure ~
which remains constant as long as the. total heat loss.from the sphere is at
the desired rate. If .the Operative Temperature becomes ;too high for comfort, a greater vapor pressure results from the smaller heat loss from
:
' the sphere. This acts on a diaphragm and reduces the supply of heat to
the room. With too low an Operative Temperature the reverse action ; *
`. occurs. A similar instrument which has an electric, heating element for

warming the air inside the sphere and the thermostat operated switch is
also used for controlling room conditions.
' In addition to a thermostatically controlled device for modulating the
temperature of the circulating water, it is advantageous to. insert in.each
' , coil a locked flow control or adjustable resistance to give uniform con
ditions throughout all rooms. Owing to unforeseen difficulties with
varying frictional losses in pipes, emission factor, and exposures, it is an
advantage to be able to regulate permanently the flow through each
circuit by means of a key operated valve as indicated in Fig. 4.

IN heating, ventilating, and air conditioning practice, fans and blowers are used to produce air flow. All fans or blowers are classified according to the direction of air flow through the fan with relation to the axis of
rotation and are either of the (1) axial flow or propeller type, in which
the flow is parallel to the axis, or (2) radial flow or centrifugal type, in
which the flow is at right angles to the axis.
,
Axial flow fans are made in various designs and sizes. The form and
number of blades may vary for impellers of the same or different diameters. The blades may be of uniform thickness and made of cast or sheet metal,
and either flat or cambered or of screw form; or they may vary in thick
ness, in the latter case usually being designed to conform to so-called
airfoil sections of known characteristics, similar to those which have been
developed for airplane propellers. Likewise, blade angle, or the angular relation of the blades to the plane of rotation, varies over a wide range.
For operation against comparatively high pressures, it is customary to
resort to enlarged hubs in proportion to fan diameter (large hub ratio) and correspondingly short blade length. The term disc fan has some
times been loosely applied to such large hub fans, though it has long been
generally used in connection with any propeller fan of comparatively short
axial length whose blades are relatively .flat; in other words, for fan wheels
which occupy a space which is more or less disc-shaped. Single stage air
foil axial flow fans can operate at pressures up to 4 in. at a. quite low noise level and, at considerably higher pressures, they are. comparable
in regard to noise to the centrifugal fan type.
Radial flow or centrifugal fans used in hearing, ventilating, and air
conditioning practice, are m general of two types; one with forwardsloped blades, and the other with backward-sloped blades. Many modi fications may be made in the proportions, the curvature, and the slope or. angularity of the blades. The slope or angularity of the blades deter
mines the operating characteristics of a fan; a forward-curved or sloped blade is found in a fan having low speed operating characteristics, while a
backward-curved or sloped blade is found in a fan having higher speed
operating characteristics.
''
A wide variety of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems
creates a wide variety in the demands that have to be met by the fan
or blower. The requirement may be to move small or large quantities
of air against little or no resistance, or to move small or large quantities
of air against higher resistance. Between the two limits innumerable
specific requirements must be met. Although fans of any class in either
of the two general types can in general be made to perform the same duty,. mechanical difficulties, space and noise limitations, efficiency and power,
limitations usually determine the selection.
FAN PERFORMANCE
Fans of all types follow certain laws of performance which are useful
. in predicting the effect upon performance of changes in the conditions of operation, the duty .required of the installation, or the size of the equip

Air Horsepower1

(1)
When the static pressure is used in the computation in place of total
pressure it is assumed that this represents the useful pressure and that
the velocity pressure is lost in the piping system and in the air which
leaves the system. Since in most installations a' higher velocity exists at
the fan outlet than at the point of delivery into the atmosphere, some of
the velocity pressure at the fan outlet may be utilized by conversion to
static pressure within the system, but, owing to the uncertainty of friction
,losses which occur at the places where changes in velocity take place, the
amount of velocity pressure which is actually utilized is seldom known,
and the static pressure alone may best represent the useful pressure.
In the standards for published capacity tables as adopted by the National
Association of Fan Manufacturers, the term static pressure refers to the
true resistance to air flow. Such tables charge both the inlet and outlet
velocity of the fan to the fan performance, and may be used directly
where the static pressure of the system as calculated represents only the
actual resistance to flow of the air.
'
The efficiency based upon static pressure is known as the static efficiency
and may be expressed as follows: '
Static Efficiency1 = cfm X static pressure in inches of water 6356 X Horsepower input
(2)
Different fans may develop the same capacity against the same static
` pressure and with the same power input, and therefore operate at the
same static efficiency, while maintaining different outlet velocities. Where
a high outlet velocity is desirable or can be utilized effectively, the static
-efficiency fails to be a satisfactory measurement of the performance. In
many applications of propeller fans, air is circulated without encountering
resistance and no static pressure is developed. The'static efficiency is
zero and its calculation is meaningless. Because of such situations where
the static efficiency fails to indicate the true performance, many engineers
prefer to base the calculation of efficiency upon the total pressure.. This
efficiency is variously known as the total, or mechanical efficiencyf and
may be expressed as follows:

CHARACTERISTIC CURVES
In the operation of a fan at a fixed speed- the static and total efficiencies
vary with any change in the resistance which is imposed. With different
designs the peak of efficiency occurs when the fans deliver different per
centages of their wide-open capacity. Variations in efficiency accompany
. variations in pressures and power consumption which are characteristic of
the individual designs and which are influenced particularly by the shape
'and angularity of the blades. Such variations in pressure, power, and
: efficiency are shown by characteristic curves.
.
Characteristic curves-of fans based upon tests performed in accordance, with the Standard Test Code for Centrifugal and Axial Fans1 prepared jointly by the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engi neers and the National Association of Fan Manufacturers are generally plotted to show total and static pressure, mechanical and static efficiency, and horsepower in relation to air delivery as a basis.

be plotted against per cent of wide open volume or discharge. Examples < of fan performance curves are shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
In the selection of all but very small fans, power consumption is usually. a major consideration. It must be borne in mind that the horsepower at .
peak efficiency alone may be misleading, as actual operation is apt to
occur at some point on the pressure-volume curve varying considerably
from that specified, due to inaccuracies of the estimated system resistance or to fluctuating resistance caused by damper or louver.adjustments. To '
cope with such variations a fan should be selected having a high efficiency
over a wide range, that is, aflat or broad efficiency curve is more desirable
than.a sharp or narrow curve which, though reaching a high, peak, falls off
rapidly to either side of a narrow range. When the point of operation' varies only within narrow limits and both volume and pressure require
ments are' accurately known in. advance, the designer can select a fan
operating at maximum efficiency, irrespective of performance over' the
entire range.

Generally, fans are selected either at the peak of the static efficiency or to the right of the peak depending on the requirements of the particular installation. Fans selected to the right of the peak will be smaller but will require more power, run at higher speeds and may have a higher sound rating. Where first cost is important and added horsepower and noise are not important, smaller fans may be used. Where efficient and quiet opera tions are most important, fans are selected at or near the peak of the static efficiency curve. Fans are not ordinarily selected to the left of the peak of the static efficiency curve as this results in larger, more costly fans, requiring more power and in some cases producing objectionable noise.
. The curves in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show operating characteristics for axial flow and two classes of centrifugal fans, namely, forward-curved multiple blade and backward-inclined blade design, for comparison purposes. These curves are not applicable for rigid comparison or actual selection, but are shown to indicate variations in operating characteristics.
'

Fig. 3. Operating Characteristics of a Fan with Blades Curved Backward
The curves in Fig. 1 of a typical axial flow fan show characteristics of non-overloading horsepower and high efficiency. These results are obtained by producing a more uniform pressure throughout the blade annulus, so that back flow does not occur except at high pressures. This avoidance in turbulence has a tendency to reduce noise. Fans of this type are operating against static pressures as high as 4 in. water. The capacity and efficiency of axial flow fans when operating above the low pressure range can be improved by the use of either inlet or outlet guide . vanes or both.' The effect of such vanes is to increase the level of the pressure volume curve, and properly designed vanes on the discharge side of the fan have the advantage of eliminating the rotational component of the air stream, thus restoring uniform axial flow. As high pressures usually require large hubs in proportion to the fan diameter, performance is improved by the use of round-nosed or conical forms mounted co axially with the direct-connected fail (sometimes partly or wholly en- closing the motor) so as to make the changes in velocity to and from the fan blade annulus as uniform as space conditions permit. When axial flow fans are installed in ducts, provisions may be made to instair the, driving motor outside the duct by employing slots in the duct to permit
Fans
573
a belt drive from the motor to the fan sheave, or by extending the shaft for a direct-connected motor placed outside of a Y fitting or elbow in the ' duct system.
The forward-curved multiblade fan and the backward-curved type are used extensively in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning work. The forward-curved type has a low peripheral speed and a large capacity. (See Fig. 2.) The point of maximum efficiency for this fan occurs near the point of maximum pressure. The static pressure drops consistently from the point of maximum efficiency to full open operation. The power curve rises continuously from low to peak capacity and, if reasonable care is exercised in calculating resistance, a moderate reserve in power in the motor selection will prevent overloading.
The backward-sloped type includes the full backward-curved blade and
, the double-curved blade having a forward-curved heel and a backward-
curved tip. This type has steep pressure curves, non-overloading power
characteristics, and relatively high speed (see Fig. 3). This fan operates
at a peripheral speed approximately 175 to 200 per cent of that of the
forward-curved multiblade fan for like performance. Pressure curves for
. this type begin to drop at very low capacity, with the most rapid drop,
beginning at about 60 per cent of wide open volume. The steep portions
of the pressure curves tend to produce nearly constant capacity under
changing pressures. Where wide fluctuations in demand occur, especially
where the regulation is obtained by damper control and particularly
through by-passes, this type of fan is desirable to prevent overloading of
motor. The maximum power requirement occurs at about the maximum
efficiency. Cpnsequently a motor selected to carry the load at this point
will be of sufficient capacity to drive the fan over its full range of capacities
at a given speed. The high speed of this type makes it adaptable for
direct connected electric motor drives. The dimensional bulk is usually
greater than that of the forward-curved multiblade type.
.
Between the extremes of the forward and backward curved blade type centrifugal fans there exists a number of modified designs differing in angularity and in the shape of the blades. Characteristic curves of these .types show varying degrees of similarity to the curves in Figs- 2 and 3.
SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
Any ventilating system consisting of duct work, heaters, air washers,
filters, etc., has a system characteristic which is individual to that system
and is independent of any fan which may be applied to the system. This
characteristic may be expressed in curve form in exactly the same manner
that fan characteristics may be shown. Typical system characteristic
curves are shown as A, B and C in Fig. 4. These curves are drawn to
follow the simple parabolic law in which the static pressure or resistance:
to flow of air varies as the square of the volume flowing through the
system. Heating and ventilating systems follow this law very closely and
no serious error is introduced by its use.
.'
When a constant speed fan curve for a given size fan is super-imposed upon a system characteristic curve, the relation between the two is at once apparent. The only point common to the two curves is the point at the intersection of the system characteristic curve and the fan character istic curve, and it is at this point that the combination will operate. In Fig. 4, system characteristic curves A, B and C cross the fan character istic curve at points X, Y and Z. The fan whose curve is shown, when
574-
' CHAPTER 32
1946 Guide
applied to systems having characteristic curves A, B and C, will deliver . 10,000, 13,000 or 16,400 cfm respectively. . ,
-The curves in Fig. 4 also illustrate the effect of errors which may be made in calculating the resistance of a ventilating system. For instance, if a given system requires 13,000 cfm and the resistance to flow of the system has been computed as 1.25 in. static pressure, such a system would be represented by system characteristic curve B in Fig. 4. If a 100 per cent error had been made and the resistance were 2.5 in. instead , of 1.25 in., then the system characteristic would be as shown in curve A and would cross the fan curve at 10,000 cfm. Such an error would cause the flow of air to be decreased from a design volume of 13,000 cfm to 10,000 cfm. If the resistance to flow had been over estimated and
Fig. 4. Parabolic System Characteristic Curves
the resistance actually were ,0.625 in., the system characteristic curve would be as shown in curve C and the fan would deliver 16,400 cfm to the system instead of the design volume of 13,000 cfm.
In this example extreme errors have been selected to emphasize the'
effect the square function of the system characteristic has in maintaining
the fan. performance within comparatively narrow limits. In,the first
example a system estimated at half what it should have been, resulted in
a drop of 23 per cent in volume; and in the second example; a system
estimated at twice what it should have been resulted in an increase of
26 per cent in volume.
. ..
'. .
. In . some instances fans may be applied to variable flow systems. In such cases' the limiting systems may be plotted and the effect on fan ' performance examined. For instance, a system might have a'character- . istic curve between A, shown in Fig. 4, as one limit, and B as the other ' limit. The. fan performance will then fall between points X and Y on the fan curve at a point determined by the system characteristics at that

particular time. If A and B are the limiting characteristic curves of the systems, the fan performance will never .be .outside the points X or Y.'
SELECTION OF FANS
The following information is required to select the proper type of fan:
1. Cubic feet of air per minute to be moved.
2. Static pressure required to move the air through the system.
3. Type of motive power available.
4. Whether fans are to operate singly or in parallel on any one duct. `
5. What degree of noise is permissible.
6. Nature of the load, such as variable air quantities or pressures.

Other important factors to be considered in selecting fans are: (1) efficiency, (2) space occupied, (3) sound emission, (4)'first cost, and (5) speed (both peripheral and revolutions per minute). These factors are not necessarily shown in the order of importance. In some installations space occupied may be' of first importance. In others lowest power consumption is desirable. In many cases quietness of operation of the entire system is essential. Practically all fans operate at their lowest sound level when selected at or near the peak of the static efficiency , so that in selecting a fan for highest static efficiency the quietest operating ' range of the fan will also be obtained.

pressures. Fans selected accordingly will operate at or near the peak of

the. static efficiency with resulting low power consumption,and noise
levels. Smaller Ians with higher outlet velocities may be used if the
installation requirements are such as to warrant the additional power
and increased sound level. When space for duct expansion from a fan
outlet is not available there may be advantages in selecting a larger fan
for reducing duct noises, although lower outlet velocities generally result
' in lower fan efficiencies which cannot always be justified on the basis of
increased cost and space requirements. Fans for schools, churches,
residences, and all public buildings should be selected for lower outlet,
velocities and tip speeds than would be required for other types of in
stallations.
'
Having selected a fan for its quietest operating point consistent with the requirements of the installation, it must be recognized that ventilating fans, even so selected, emit noise and precautions must be taken in the installation of the fans to prevent this noise from being transmitted to occupied portions of the building. Fans operating against high static pressures produce more noise than fans operating against low static pressures. Consequently, from a' noise standpoint, the system should be designed to operate against the lowest static pressure possible. In many modern air conditioning systems it is necessary to introduce devices into ' the air stream for conditioning the air in various ways, the result of which is to set up a rather high static pressure against which the fan must . operate. In such cases the sound level at the fan may be too high to be neglected and special sound treatment of the installation must be con sidered. When a fan is operating against higher pressures it should be located in a room either removed from the occupied areas, or in a room which has been acoustically treated to prevent sound bding carried through the walls to adjoining spaces. The fan should be mounted oh a resilient base along with its driving motor to absorb any noise or vibration which' might be transmitted, to the floor and thence to the building structufc. All ducts should be connected to fans with unpainted canvas, or other flexible material, to prevent any vibrations being transmitted to the duct work. Ducts leading into the fan ropm or from the fan should be acoustically treated on the interior and in special cases should be pro vided with sound traps or filters. Many ventilating systems encounter noises which are connected with the fan in no way. Noises due to high duct velocities, abrupt turns, grilles, etc., may be present. Treatment of such problems is covered in Chapter 42.
If double width, double inlet fans are selected, care must be taken that
both inlets have the same free area. If one inlet ,of a fan is obstructed
more than the other, the fan will not operate properly, as one half of the
wheel will deliver more air than the other half. Proper installation and
location of fans is as important as the selection of the size of fan for that
particular, installation. All fans will work according to their character
istic curves if they are properly selected and properly installed and
operated. .
...
FAN DESIGNATIONS
In order to prevent misunderstandings, which may cause delays and losses, the arrangements of fan drives adopted by the National Association
of Fan Manufacturers and indicated in Fig. 5 are suggested.
Facing the driving side of the fan, blower, or blast wheel, if the proper direction of rotation is clockwise, the fan, blower, or. blast wheel will be designated as clockwise. If the proper direction of rotation is counter-clockwise, the designation will be Counter-

578 CHAPTER. 32 1_________ ' -_______ 1946 Guide
clockwtse. (The driving side of a single inlet fan is considered to be the side opposite
the inlet regardless of the actuaMocation of the drive.)1
'
`This method of designation will apply to all centrifugal fans, single or double width,
and single or double inlet. Do not use the word hand but specify clockwise or counter-
clockwise.
. '.
The discharge of a fan will be determined by the direction of the line of air discharge and its relation to the fan shaft, as follows:
Bottom horizontal: If the line of air discharge is horizontal and below the shaft.
Top horizontal: If the line of air discharge is horizontal and above the shaft.
Up blast: If the line of air discharge is vertically up.
Down blast: If the line of air discharge is vertically down.
All intermediate discharges will be indicated as angular discharge as follows:
.
Either top or bottom angular up discharge or top or bottom angular down discharge, the smallest angle made by the line of air discharge with the horizontal being specified.

of the fan and alter the air volume. Dampers may be placed in the duct .system to vary the volume. Variable speed pulleys or transmissions, such
'
as fan belt change boxes, electric or hydraulic couplings, may bemsed to vary the fan speed. Variable speed motors and variable fan inlet vanes .
may also be used to adjust the fan volume. All of these methods will give
control. From a power consumption standpoint, a reduction of the fan
speed is most efficient. Inlet vanes save some power and dampers save `
the least.. From the standpoint of first cost, dampers usually are the: : lowest in cost. In some installations adjustments of volume are desirable -
at various times during the day or continuously. In others an increased
supply of,air in summer over that needed in winter is demanded. The.
demands of each case will dictate which- type of control is most desirable.
.Where noise is a factor, lowering the fan speed if possible is preferred as a .
control means, because of the resulting reduction in sound level.
..
MOTIVE POWER
Heating, ventilating and air conditioning fans are usually driven by. electric motors, although other prime -movers may be used. The small sizes of fans, and especially those operating in the higher speed range, are equipped with direct-connected motors. For larger size fans and those . operating at lower speed V-belt drives are generally used.
In selecting' the size of motor for operating a fan, it is advisable to select at least the standard size next larger than the fan requirements. Direct-connected motors do not require so great a safety factor as belted units. Justification for liberal power provision exists only in systems where it is possible that larger volumes of air may be required at intervals and made available by use of by-pass dampers, thus greatly reducing the system resistance. If such a system includes a fan with forward-curved ; blades, it would be necessary that the motor be sized for the maximum . volume and duty. If such a system includes fans with backward-curved blades, the volume peak would not make it necessary to provide addi- . tional motor power. In selecting ferns for such a system, sound ratings
should be given careful consideration.
.'
Where a system is constant, and has no provision for volume change . that would materially reduce the resistance, and when the resistance " calculations are reasonably accurate, there is no necessity for too liberal a motor allowance, even where fans with forward-curved blades are used, if the fan has been properly selected. Fig. 4 shows that the system resistance varies as the square of the volume and the fan static pressure varies approximately inversely as the volume, thus greatly offsetting the trend toward both increase in air. delivery and motor load. Reference to. . Fig. 4 indicates that there is no justification for allowing large spare . motor capacity, and it is generally more economical to operate motors .

F)R the purposes of this discussion, an air cleaner is defined as.a device for capturing and removing solid matter from a stream of air. This solid matter includes fibrous material such as lint as well as particulate
matter such as dust, fumes, smoke, cinders, etc. Air cleaning is distinct
from air purification in that the latter deals with removal of harmful or
unpleasant gases, vapors, or bacteria from an occupied space. Air
pollution and purification are discussed in Chapters 10 and 12 and air
sterilization in Chapter 13.
'
.
In general, air cleaners are not installed in buildings for the specific
purpose of improving the health of the occupants. However, the removal
of matter such as pollen, house dust and similar allergens which motivate
attacks upon persons of allergic sensitivity*, does have a beneficial effect
on health, The toxic elements in some war gases are in reality fine
particles capable of air flotation.
It is known by experience that air cleaners greatly reduce the rate of
dirt accumulation in buildings, but, in the present state of knowledge, an
exact numerical expression for the cleaning effect of the filter cannot be
given because of the many unknown or variable factors involved. For
this reason air cleaners are usually selected on a basis of experience or
judgment, guided by the results of various test procedures.
AIR CLEANERS
' A typical air cleaner consists of a frame, which may be of metal, wood, cardboard, etc., and a filtering medium. The frame is designed to support the medium in a duct or chamber forming part of the air conditioning or ventilating system, so that the air passes through the medium while en route to spaces to be ventilated.
Unit Air Cleaners or Filters
Many air cleaners are available in the form of units of convenient size for
handling during installation, cleaning or replacement. Such units are
usually designated as filters or unit filters. A typical unit filter may be
20 in.' square and from one to several inches thick, depending on the manu-
. factiire and proposed use. In large systems, a number of such units are
installed adjacent to each other and collectively called a bank of filters. '
. Air cleaners are commonly installed in the outdoor air intake ducts of
buildings and, often, in the recirculating air. ducts as wejl. Cleaners are
logically placed ahead of heating or cooling coils and other air conditioning
equipment in the system to protect them from dust. The character of the
dust arrested by the filters in an air intake duct is likely to be mostly
particulate matter of a greasy nature, while lint may predominate in dust
from within the building.

Settling chambers, air washers and electrostatic precipitators are also

air cleaners. Settling chambers are used in boiler plants for capturing
cinders, but they occupy too much space for general use in air conditioning
or ventilating systems. Unless they are inordinately large, they are not
effective in capturing small particles, since the air velocity is not suf
ficiently reduced to permit, such particles to settle.
,
. Air washers have generally become recognized for the purpose of ad justing the, temperature and humidity of the air, rather than for cleaning air. It happens that insofar as dirtiness is concerned, carbon is the most troublesome dust. Carbon particles are likely to be greasy and since there is a natural repulsion between grease and water, the water spray in an air washer is not effective to a desirable degree in capturing them. However, air washers do capture considerable amounts of dust and lint which become sludge in the sump. Much of the cleaning action occurs at the
eliminator plates where the dust particles are thrown against the film of water on the plates by their momentum.
The electrostatic precipitator is an effective available means of captur ing the finer dust particles. This device does not entirely displace other types of air cleaners at the present time because of relatively high cost, large space requirements, and the fact that, the air must enter and leave the apparatus in substantially parallel and straight flow.
Dust and Lint
,' .
-
Air-borne solid matter from the viewpoint of air cleaning is con sidered as lint and dust. Some lint originates outdoors, as animal hairj vegetable fibers, etc., but much is generated within buildings by the wear and brushing of fabrics in the form of clothes, draperies, carpets, etc. Lint is comparatively easy to capture in an air filter because of .its comparatively great length. So far,as air filter performance and testing are concerned, lint is chiefly important because of its tendency to impede or stop, the flow of air through the filter. In general, lint, if not captured, will accumulate in corners and under furniture in a building in areas of slight air motion and in some cases may seriously obstruct heating and cooling coils. Dust settles, or is precipitated by heat or air motion, upon furniture, fixtures and walls and the only satisfactory treatment.is washing or re-painting. Dust is more difficult to capture than lint, and, obviously, small particles are more difficult to capture than large ones. ' The air cleaning problem is complicated by the vast difference in size of dust particles, the range of which is shown in Fig. 1, Chapter 10.
' Even if the discussion is limited to the range from 0.1 micron to 50 microns, that is; between the smallest particle observable in the micro scope and the smallest particle distinguishable to the naked eye, this range is so far outside the usual.experience, that it is difficult to visualize. If particles could be examined through a super microscope having a' magnification of 250,000 diameters, a tobacco smoke particle of 0.1 . micron would appear to be 1 in. in diameter, or approximately the size of a golf ball; a soft coal smoke particle 0.3 micron in diameter would appear. |ike a baseball; a ragweed pollen grain 20 microns in diameter would appear 16.5 ft in diameter, while the 50 micron particle, just visible to the naked eye and able to pass through a 270 mesh screen, would appear to be 50 ft in diameter. Picturing this range in particle size from a golf ball to a sphere 50 ft in diameter will emphasize the, difficulty of cleaning air or of devising any single test to adequately measure the performance of
air cleaning devices under all conditions of service. '
`
It may be contended that the removal of the finer particles from venti-
Air Cleaning Devices
583
lating air is relatively unimportant insofar as cleanliness in a house or
building is concerned, since it is possible that such particles may remain
suspended in the air and in large part be removed from die building with
out settling by the circulating air. However, since-some of the particles
are undoubtedly deposited by contact and by thermal precipitation, the
ability to remove small particles is desirable in an air cleaner.
.
The migration of dust particles from a warm region toward a cool surface, to which they will adhere, is called thermal precipitation *. This fact is responsible for the lath marks often observed on walls or ceilings. The laths form barriers to the passage of heat so that the surface of the plaster in front of them is warmer than the surfaces between them. Dust is therefore deposited more rapidly between joists or laths than it .is in-, front of them, resulting in the streaks observed. If the entire ceiling-or. wall is insulated, the differences in temperature across the surfaces cease to exist, lath marks do not form, and deposition of dust is much slower.
, A laboratory apparatus has been designed employing thermal precipita
tion in capturing dust particles for microscopic examination 3. So far as
is known thermal precipitation has not yet been used as a practical means
of cleaning air.

CLASSIFICATION OF AIR CLEANING MEDIA
Air cleaners of such a variety of types have been used in the past that a single classification is difficult. Considering the wide diversification of materials and particle sizes to be removed and the varying requirements which have to be met in the field, it is natural that many lands of air cleaning devices are used which cannot be shown satisfactorily in a simple outline. Classifications on three different bases are enumerated herewith:

V. ., VISCOUS IMPINGEMENT TYPE CLEANERS ;
* ; The medium in a viscous impingement type filter is usually a, fiber pack for non-automatic types or a series of metal plates .for-automatic-self/ cleaning types. In either case, the medium is treated with ja viscous substance, often an oil ..or grease,calledthe adhesiveor. the saturant,

intended to retain dust particles which come in contact with it. Also, in either case, the arrangement is such that the air stream is broken up into many small air streams and these are caused to abruptly change direction a number of times in order to throw the dust particles, by momentum,
against the adhesive. Several desirable characteristics of an adhesive for air cleaners of this type are:
1. Its surface tension should be such as to produce a homogeneous film or coating on the filter medium.
2. The viscosity should vary only slightly with normal changes of temperature.
3. It should prevent the development of mold spores and bacteria on the filter' medium.
4. The liquid should have high capillarity, or ability to wet and retain the dust at all
operating temperatures.
.
5. -Evaporation should be slight.
'
-
'
6. It should be fire resistant.
7. It should be odorless.
Various fibrous materials' have been used as filtering media in unit filters of the viscous impingement type. This includes glass fiber, steel wool, similar wool of non-ferrous metals, wire screen, animal hair, hemp fibers, and other materials. In such filters, the medium is often packed
more densely on the discharge than on the approach-side in order to increase the dust holding capacity. This results in a selective arrestance of dust with the larger particles nearer the approach face. The arrange ment also permits some penetration of lint into (but not through) the' filter, so that the amount of lint which can be tolerated on the filter is also increased. Due to plane surface area the viscous impingement type filter, however, may be inferior to some dry types where the air carries a. high percentage of lint.
The resistance of air filters obviously increases with the air flow through
them. Face velocities of about 300 fpm and resistances in the range from
0.1 to 0.2 in. water, when the device is new and clean, are usual for venti
lation system filters. Special filters with low resistances are available
for use'with gravity warm air furnaces and for other uses where only low
pressure is available.
'.
The resistance of these filters increases with dust or lint loading and it
is the resistance due to this cause which ordinarily necessitates servicing.
The rate of loading obviously depends upon the amount as well as the
kind of dust in the air qnd for this reason, periods between servicing
cannot be predicted. Manometers are often installed to indicate the
pressure drop across filter banks and they serve to indicate when the
filter requires cleaning. The pressure drop tolerated differs between
operators and system designs. The resistance of a filter bank can be kept
desirably low by periodically servicing some but not all of the units in the
bank at one time, providing the difference in resistance between the clean
and dirty filters is small.
,
The method of cleaning yiscous impingement unit filters differs for
different types of filters and kinds of dust. Much dry dust or lint can
often be removed by rapping the filter.
. Throw-away filters are constructed of inexpensive materials and are
designed to be discarded after one use. The frame is frequently a com
bination .of cardboard and. wire.
.
Cleanable types usually have metal frames. Various cleaning methods have been recommended including: air jet, water jet, steam jet, washing

in kerosene, and dipping in an oil. The latter may .serve both to clean .
the filter and. add the necessary adhesive.
.
Automatic Viscous Filters
In an automatic air filter, means are provided to remove the dust from the medium mechanically. Automatic filters with moving cloth media have been constructed. The media is supported on rollers and moves slowly and continuously across the air stream and then through some cleaning mechanism, such as a beater, a vacuum cleaner, or a brushing arrangement. Such filters, however, `are not now in wide use, possibly, because of mechanical difficulties and the rapid and sometimes permanent increase of resistance caused by oily matter present in the air.
The medium in a typical automatic filter at present consists of a series of specially formed metal plates mounted on a pair of chains. The chains are mounted on sprockets located at the top and bottom of the filter housing, so that the filtering medium can be moved as a continuous curtain up one side and down the other side of the sprockets. The arrangement is such that, at the bottom, the medium passes through a bath of special oil which both serves to remove the dirt from the plates and acts as an adhesive when the cleaned plates next pass through the air stream. The plates forming the filtering medium or curtain usually overlap each other and due to their special shape many small air passages are formed between them. These air passages turn abruptly one or more times in order to give the impingement effect.
An electrically driven rotating device is usually supplied with an auto matic filter. The device may be set to move the curtain periodically or a special switch, actuated by pressure drop, may be used to govern its motion. Such a switch will cause the gear to move the curtain when the resistance of the filter to air flow becomes excessive and will stop it when the resistance becomes sufficiently low.
In operation, the resistance of an automatic filter will remain approxi mately constant as long as proper operation is obtained. A resistance of 1 % in. water at a face velocity of 500 fpm is typical of this class.
DRY AIR FILTERS
As the name:implies, adhesives are not used on dry air filters. The
media in such filters are usually fabrics or fabric-like materials. Media of
wool felt, cotton batting (both glazed and unglazed), cellulose fiber and
other materials have been used commercially.
'
. '.
The medium in a filter of this class is usually supported by a wire frame in the form of pockets or V-shaped pleats in order to increase the area exposed to the passage of air. A 2 ft square unit may contain from 15 to 30 sq ft of medium.
Dry air filters are likely to have a comparatively high lint-holding ,
capacity on account of the large area of medium used. Wool felt media are troublesome to clean when impregnated with greasy, dust and they are too expensive to discard frequently. Both vacuum cleaning and dry cleaning have been used for reconditioning wool felt filters.
` ELECTRIC PRECIPITATORS
The fact that a particle exposed to an electric field will assume a charge ' and migrate toward one of the electrodes has been utilized for some years ' in boiler plants as a means of smoke abatement. The same principle has
586
CHAPTER 33
1946 Guide-
been used in equipment developed for air cleaning in air conditioning without generating ozone in intolerable quantities. The air stream in a precipitator passes first through a relatively high-tension electric field, known as the ionizing field, and then through a secondary field where the precipitation of the dust occurs. The arrangement is as shown in Fig. 1. '
In a typical case, a potential of 12,000 volts may be used to create the ionizing field, and some 5000 volts between the plates upon which the precipitation of dust occurs. These voltages, which are capable of shock to personnel similar to that of a spark plug, necessitate some safety .measures. A typical arrangement provides means for automatically making the unit inoperative when a door to the precipitator is opened.
Fig. 1. Diagrammatic Cross-Section of Electrostatic Precipitator
To resume operation the procedure necessitates closing the door and turning an electric switch, the latter of which should be located at a reasonable distance from the equipment The voltages necessaty for the operation of the precipitator, are usually obtained from- an alternating. current building service line by means of a step-up; transformer. Precipi
tation with alternating current is possible but is not nearly,so. effective; so the cuijent is usually rectified by means of vacuum tubes. The trans former and tubes are collectively termed the power pack.
. Only a very small amount of electric energy is necessary to operate an
electric precipitator and the resistance to air flow through the device is
- practically negligible. Some care is necessary in arranging the duct
approaches on the entering and leaving sides of precipitators to assure
that the air flow is distributed uniformly over the cross-sectional area.
The efficiency of the precipitator is sensitive to air velocity and the
. device itself has much less tendency to rectify the air stream than filters.
which have much higher resistances.

tion units are mounted on chains and are alternately dipped in oil and.

necessary electric circuits.

- .
PERFORMANCE AND TESTING
The rating of an air cleaner is the air flow'for which it is designedexpressed in cubic feet per minute. Face velocity is defined as the average
velocity of the air entering the cleaner, and it is determined by taking theair flow and dividing it by the area of the duct connection to the cleaner in square feet. Cleaners are often rated at a face velocity in the range,
of 250 to 500 fpm. The resistance of an air cleaner to air flow is usually
measured in inches water. The resistances of filters when new and clean
and when operated at rated capacity are generally available from the
manufacturer (see. Catalog Data Section).
.
The ability of air cleaners to clean air is called the efficiency or the
arrestance, and may be denoted by the symbol E. The efficiency of an
air cleaner differs with the size and nature of the dust on which the cleaner operates, Obviously, large particles and lint are more easily
captured than minute particles which are small in-all dimensions. The
efficiency of an air cleaner; algebraically expressed, is:
.
where
D, - D, E = Di
(i)
D, -- amount of dust per unit volume in uncleaned air. D,* amount of dust per unit volume in cleaned air.
Several methods have been investigated for evaluating Dl and DtThe particle count method is not used for efficiency evaluation except in investigation of filter performance on specific particles such as pollen or on certain industrial dusts harmful to health. Dust particles can be captured on microscope slides by means of one of the various kinds of impingement devices. The process is useful if an inspection and analysis of dust is desired,- but particle counting is not sufficiently precise for evalu ating the efficiency of a cleaner operating, on- a heterogeneous dust. .-.
The weight method of evaluating efficiency has found wide utility andwas recognized by the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers and incorporated in a code *. -For this test, a known weight of a prepared dust is injected into air supplied to the filter and the quantity of dust in the cleaned air is determined by extracting arid weighing the dust from a known volume of the cleaned air. Dust extraction from the air is accomplished by drawing the air through a porous crucible or thimble by means of a high vacuum.
The dust-spot or blackness test for cleaner efficiency was developed at the National Bureau of Standards6. The test consists of drawing samples, of cleaned air and of uncleaned air through filter papers simultaneously. The ratio of the areas of paper through which the air samples are drawn and the ratio of the amount of air drawn through the papers are adjusted during successive trials to yield spots of approximately equal, blackness on the papers. The ratios of the areas and of the volumes of the air samples are then indicators of the filter effectiveness. A special photo meter is provided for coriiparing. the blackness or. opacity of the papers by transmitted light. For tests of ordinary air filters by this method, a
588
CHAPTER 33
1946 Guide
dust is injected into the air stream. The dust consists of precipitated
smoke particles from a Cottrell precipitator used in a local power plant
for smoke abatement. For tests of electrostatic air cleaners, no dust is
added to the air. Tests are commonly made with the dust existing in the '
air at the location of the installation on a clear day. Some specifications
for this type cleaner have required that in dust spots of equal area the
downstream spot shall not be any dirtier than the upstream spot when
10 times as much air is drawn through it as is drawn through the.upstream
spot. When this condition is met the cleaner is said, to have an efficiency
or arrestance of 90 per cent or better on atmospheric air.
.
.
Dust-holding capacity is defined as the amount of dust which a filter can retain and have a resistance less than some arbitrary value. The term applies only to non-automatic air cleaners. Determination of dust holding capacity is an objective of each test under the A.S.H.V.E. Standard Code 4: Curves are obtained during such tests to show the . relation between dust load and resistance. Typical curves are shown in . Fig. 2. Type A is a dense pack used in bacterium control'; Type B is a medium pack used for general ventilation work; and Type C is a low

The advantage of the automatic impingement type filter consists in the
small amount of attention which it requires. Such devices are therefore
to be recommended where labor is scarce or where reliable and frequent,
attention to filters cannot be assumed. This type of equipment is not any
better in dust arrestance than some unit filters, and it ranks' next to
precipitators in first cost.
- ,-
Unit filters constitute the majority of air cleaners now in use, and some choice is possible between the types available. Where lint in an eminently ` dry state predominates, a dry filter obviously may be preferable to other types on account of its lint-holding capacity. If the lint is greasy or if oil vapor exists in the air, the dry filter, if it is of the cleanable type, may be troublesome, since grease tends to make it difficult to clean. The cleaning difficulty is avoided if a throw-away type of medium is used. Some dry filters are capable of high efficiencies, compared to other unit

resistance unit, for use where low resistance is the important factor and
maximum cleaning efficiencies are not essential.
.
At the National Bureau of Standards two injectors are provided on the
air cleaner testing apparatus. One injector is used to contaminate the
air stream with Cottrell precipitate, previously described. This dust is
used to make both efficiency determination and dust-holding capacity
tests. The other injector contaminates the air stream with cotton iinters
with which lint-holding capacity tests are made. The curves, in Fig. 3.
_ illustrate the difference in the characteristics of two filters, one a viscous-
impingement type and the other a dry filter with a cellulose fiber medium.
The two injectors can be operated either separately or simultaneously.
A -total dust deposit of 4 per cent cotton Iinters and 96 per cent Cottrell
precipitate gives a deposit on a filter closely resembling those that occur
in Washington, D. C.
.
SELECTION AND MAINTENANCE
:
If effectiveness in arresting dust were always the primary consideration,
an electrostatic cleaner might be used for all air cleaner installations.
Where the dust load is heavy, a filter bank may be installed ahead of. the
precipitator. At the present time electrostatic equipment is comparatively
expensive and bulky- and is therefore only used when the- expense is
justified-by the need for the cleanest air possible.
i
filters on fine particles, but their dust-holding capacity for such dust may
be inferior to that of the viscous impingement type.
,
Viscous impingement unit filters represent the general type of air cleaner now in use. They have approached standards in size and their overrall dimensions are small when compared with their ratings. .
Throw-away units are often installed in .series so that the one in front, which usually becomes plugged with lint, can be discarded after which the downstream unit is moved to the front and replaced by a new unit.
Viscous impingement unit filters do nothave efficiencies as high as can be expected with some other types of unit filters, but their first cost and upkeep are generally lower, whether of the cleanable or the throw-away type. They require more careful attention than the automatic oil type if the resistance is to be.maintained within reasonable limits.

These materials can adsorb approximately 50 per cent of their own weight
in many organic gases atTO F. : The charcoal may be used for a lorig time
by reactivation at high temperatures, under which condition it gives up
the adsorbed gases. Temperatures of approximately 1000 F. are desirable
for reactivation. Charcoals for use in air handling systems should be

Control Devices to a Typical System
'
THE function of automatic control, as applied to the heating, venti lating and air conditioning industry, may be broadly subdivided into the maintenance of temperature, humidity, pressure, and liquid levels
within predetermined ranges. It automatically coordinates the operation
of the various controlled mechanisms in proper sequence to produce the
desired result. A thermostat, for instance, is a controller responsive to
temperature which initiates a force that repositions valves, dampers, etc.,
as required to maintain selected temperatures. Similarly, a hygrostat or
humidistat is a controller responsive to relative humidity which initiates,
a force that repositions the controlled sources as required to maintain a
selected relative humidity.
.
BASIC TYPES OF CONTROL
There are two basic types of controllers, (1) the two-position, on-off, or positive acting controller, which functions to move a valve, damper or electric switch through its full travel (not necessarily 100 per cent) from' open to closed position and vice versa, and (2) the throttling, proportioning, or intermediate acting controller which functions to reposition the valve, damper, or other controlled device by small increments of its total travel as the controller senses a slight change in the controlled condition. The available equipment may be broadly sub-divided into three main groups,. (a) self-contained equipment, (b) electrically operated equipment, and (e) pneumatically operated equipment.
Self-Contained Equipment
`
In self-contained controllers the primary source of power is the vapor pressure of an enclosed volatile liquid which varies with the temperature changes of the controller bulb. Such pressure changes are transmitted, directly into the bellows or diaphragm mechanism of the controlled . valve. Devices of this type produce gradual operation and are used to regulate the flow of heating and cooling media to coils, radiators, and liquid tanks. Each instrument is designed to operate within a pre determined selected temperature range and for a given condition. Care must be exercised to select a type which has the ability to withstand any. possible over-run, of temperature at the control bulb without damage to the instrument. Instruments of this type are available either with a rigid bulb or with a flexible tubing which connects the control bulb to the head
of the instrument. This tubing is usually protected by a flexible metal,
covering or armor and is available in varying lengths.
.
Electrically Operated Equipment
'
Electrically operated equipment for either two position control or throt tling control is available in either low voltage or high voltage type. Low voltage equipment usually is designed to operate on 20 to 24 volt current. High voltage equipment may be used, in connection with any of the
593 ~

______________1946 Guide
standard voltages. The individual units of this type of system are inter connected by wiring circuits which carry, the commands of the controller to the motors operating the controlled valves or dampers and to stop and start electric motors driving the controlled.equipment. Simple make and break electric thermostats are used to stop and start motors and for twoposition control of valves and dampers/ Modulating electric control may be accomplished by the unbalancing of some form of Wheatstone bridge which in turn causes the repositioning of a motor element which moves the valve or damper. In some controllers the impulse from more than one Wheatstone bridge can be integrated in one motor element..
Controllers for modulating electric control vary from the contact type in that the electrical mechanism consists of a variable potentiometer.: The potentiometer includes a contact finger which moves across a coil of. resistance wire wrapped on a suitable bobbin.. The contact finger is actuated by a temperature,, pressure, or humidity sensitive element.
When the same amount of current is flowing through both coils of a
balancing relay the contact blade will be in the center of the space between.
tJie two contacts and the motor will be at-rest.
.;
Changes in the conditions at the controller will affect the circuit so that
the amount of current flowing through the two relay/ coils will not be'-,
identical. Whenever the current through these two coils becomes un
balanced, one of them will become stronger and the U shaped armature
will be tilted. The movement of the armature will close one of the relay
contacts which in turn will start the motor running either clockwise or
counter-clockwise, until the circuit is again balanced by the resulting
movement of the motor balancing, potentiometer, .whereupon the relay
contact will break and the motor will stop.

- The development of specialized industrial control equipment 'using.
electronic principles has made rapid progress during recent years. Tem
peratures may be measured and controlled to fractions of a degree by new)
applications of the photo-electric cell. Its accuracy and flexibility make)
it applicable to a variety of automatic devices and controllers.

Pneumatically Operated Equipment
. .:
In pneumatically, operated equipment the .primary source of power is
compressed air at a. pressure of 15 to 25 lb.per: square inch which should/
be clean, dry and, free from oil vapor. It is desirable to compress-the air'
to a pressure of 70 lb per square inch or more to provide for a precipitation
of. moisture due to temperature drop in the high pressure receiver and-
to reduce the dew-point of the air to the controllers below that of the:
lowest ambient temperature of the air lines.
'. '
The compressed air piping from the source of supply to the inlet side
of the controller is known as the main. The connections from the outlet)
of the controller to the pneumatic motors are known as branches.
'
Throttling type controllers, of the pneumatic type, are basically air pressure regulating valves actuated by .the controlled condition to vary the branch line pressure and thereby reposition the controlled valves or dampers as required to maintain the desired condition of the controlled5 media. A direct acting controller increases its. branch. pressure on an. increase of the controlled condition. A reverse acting controller increases' its branch pressure on a decrease of the controlled condition. Several different'devices may be operated from the branch line of a single controller'iH selected sequence by the. proper spring loading of the 'respective* .pneumatic diaphragm motors.- Small air pressure gages connected into

the branch at each controller will indicate the controller action and are of
great convenience to the operator in adjusting the system.
-
. The simplest form of pneumatic thermostat is based on the leak stat
v principle which consists of a restrictor in the air supply to the instrument; a leak port having a larger port than the restrictor, and a bi-metallic strip, or diaphragm chamber which expands on a rising temperature and con tracts on a falling temperature. This power is used to reposition the lid
seat to close or open the leak port. As the leak port is gradually closed the pressure in the branch increases until it approaches the full main pressure in the fully closed position. As the lid seat moves away from the leak port the pressure in the branch decreases until the branch is fully exhausted when the lid seat restriction of the leak port is entirely removed.
The basic leak stat principle of operation has been refined by the addition
- of supplemental relays in nearly all current types. *
TYPES AND FUNCTIONS OF CONTROLLERS
Descriptions or functions of various types of controllers follow.
A single-duty room thermostat controls the heating or cooling devices to maintain the
desired temperature.
.
A dual or two-temperature room thermostat controls the respective heat sources to maintain alternately two selected temperatures. They may be indexed manually or by time switch from central points in selected zones.
A high-low room thermostat is similar to the dual thermostat, except that it is indexed individually by the manual operation of a push button or switching device built into the individual instrument.
A sub-master or remote readjustable room thermostat is a pneumatic room type instru ment fitted with a readjusting diaphragm to which a separate pilot air line connection is made. As the pressure in the pilot line is raised from 1 psi to 13 psi, or as selected, the operating point of the controller may be increased or decreased within predetermined limits. Indexing may be done by a manual gradual switch or master thermostat. '
' A pneumatic master\ or pilot thermostat varies the pilot pressure to the readjusting diaphragm of one or more sub-master thermostats to vary their operating point in accor dance with a predetermined change in the temperature sensed by the master thermostat.
A summer-winter room thermostat operates at any selected temperature as a direct acting controller during the heating season and operates at the same or aiiy other selected temperature as a reverse acting controller during the cooling season. Groups of, these instruments may be indexed from a central point or individually indexed by a manual push button, or a switching lever built into each instrument. They may be used to control volume dampers of a summer-winter air conditioning system to maintain a desired temperature condition in the controlled space, and will operate to close normally open dampers on a rising temperature during the heating season and to open same on a rising temperature during the cooling season. '
A summer-winter sub-master or summer-winter remote readjustable room thermostat .'is similar to the summer-winter thermostat but is arranged to permit resetting of the control . point by a master thermostat or by a manual gradual switch or other selected device.
. A humidity compensated thermostat is a room type gradual acting thermostat combined
with, and readjusted by, a hygroscopic element. It may be used to maintain a constant
effective temperature.
.
The humidity sensitive element usually functions to raise the operating point of the
temperature sensitive element one degree for a predetermined drop in relative humidity
, and lower the operating point of the temperature sensitive element proportionately for
a similar increase in relative humidity.
.
*
. An insertion or duct thermostat of tube type is usually equipped with a rigid bulb,
consisting of a' brass tube enclosing an invar rod which usually has a maximum range of
0 F to 250 F, or consisting of a- vapor disc type which operates through a similar range
but in which the type of disc must be selected to function at given temperature incre
ments throughout that range: It is available in the remotely readjustable or sub
master type, which may be reset in the same manner as the sub-master room type ther-
mostat. This type of instrument may also serve as a master thermostat.
/
An immersion thermostat is similar to an insertion thermostat, except that the bulb . fitting is threaded for insertion through the wall of a vessel containing a liquid. A union . connection and separable well or socket are available where it is desirable to provide for
596
CHAPTER 34
1946 Guide
the removal of the controller bulb without the necessity of draining the vessel to the
bulb level.
.
; ..
A differential thermostat has two flexible capillary tubes fitted with plain bulbs, or with bulbs having flanges or having threaded connections. One sensitive element is subjected to the controlled temperature and the second element is exposed to the tem perature which is to determine the controlled temperature. The instrument functions to maintain a definite relation between the two.temperatures.
A remote bulb or extended tube controller may be of liquid, vapor, or gas filled type. A bulb of this type of instrument is connected to the instrument head by means of a flexible capillary tube of the desired length. The external diameter, bore, and material used to form the capillary vary with the type of control system.
An indicator controller is a controller fitted with a pointer, thermometer, or gage which
indicates the controlled condition.
;
A recorder controller is a controller, combined with a clock mechanism and chart, which both controls and records the controlled condition.
A time cycle controller is a controller equipped with a clock mechanism which auto
matically raises and lowers the control point of the instrument to meet a required time
schedule.
.
.
A hygrostat or humidistat is an instrument for controlling relative humidity. It may be of a room, insertion, indicating or recording type, and may be direct or reverse acting.
' Many forms of hygroscopic materials, such as human hair, wood, bi-wood and mem brane of selected type, are used as the sensing medium for these instruments. Where the controlled condition ranges below 20 per cent or above 70 per cent, or the dry-bulb temperature is above 100 F, careful selection of the hygroscopic element is essential.
A static pressure controller is frequently used to provide a constant pressure in a duct
system in which the volume of air supply is varied to maintain temperature or some other
condition, and usually it operates to reposition dampers installed in the fan vortex or
other selected location. It usually functions to maintain a pressure differential between
the atmosphere and the pressure or vacuum of the controlled condition. It is frequently
necessary to pipe the neutral chamber to a selected location to obtain a true basic
condition.
.
'
A velocity regulator is a controlleractuated by thevelocity of the medium which it controls.
.
A solenoid air valve or electric pneumatic switch is an electrically actuated three-way air valve which may be either direct or reverse acting. It is frequently used in connection with fan ventilating systems to close outdoor intake dampers and heater coil valves during the period when the fan motor is stopped.
A pneumatic relay or cumulator is a device fitted with a readjusting diaphragm to which a separate pilot connection is made. It is installed in the branch between the controller and the controlled valves or dampers, and functions to accelerate, magnify or reverse the action of the controller. Direct acting relays increase the branch pressure on an increasing pilot pressure. Reverse acting relays decrease the branch pressure on increase of pilot pressure.
. A duplex cumulator or relay is a device having two pilot connections either of which will vary the branch pressure on a changing pilot pressure.
An averaging cumulator or relay is a device arranged to vary the branch pressure as
dictated by the average of the pressure of two or more pilot connections.
.,
A multiple cumulator or relay is a device having more than two pilot connections any one of which will vary the branch pressure on a changing pilot pressure.
. A control valve may be considered as a variable orifice designed to control the flow of liquids, gases and other fluids.
The use of the flat disc type of valve is usually restricted to on-off control require ments. Throttling valves are generally equipped with selected forms of plug to produce the flow characteristics required for the special problem. Special plugs can be shaped to produce almost any desired flow characteristics. The three types of plugs most widely used are the V-port skirt type, the throttle plug, and the ratio plug.
A diaphragm valve is a valve which is operated by a diaphragm attached to the valve
stem. Increasing air pressure on the diaphragm moves the valve against the pressure of
opposing springs which return the valve to its normal position on a decreasing diaphragm
pressure. The pressure range required to fully reposition a valve has four limiting factors,
viz., the size of the diaphragm top, the'tension of the selected spring, the packing gland "
friction and, for all single seated valves, the pressure of the controlled media against
.which the valve must hold. .
.
-
A direct acting or normally open diaphragm valve will assume an open position due to
spring action.when all operating power is.removed.
-.
Automatic Control
597
t A reverse acting or normally closed.diaphragm valve will assume a closed position due to
* spring action when all operating power is removed. .
*
A double seated balanced or semi-balanced valve is designed for use with high pressures and is practically balanced regardless of the pressure differential across the plug. The diaphragm tops for valves of this type need only have ample power to close the valve against the tension of the opening spring plus the friction of the valve packing gland. While plugs and seats for this type of valve can be arranged to provide for tight seating for special purposes, such a requirement is not ordinarily expected.
- A three-way mixing valve, having two inlets and one outlet, is fitted with a double faced disc, operating between two inlet ports, which functions to close one port as the other is opened, and is used for mixing service.
A three-way diverting or by-pass valve has one inlet and two outlets with two separate discs operating on the outside of the respective valve seats to close one as the other is opened; and is used for diverting service.
A pilot positioner or valve positioner is an auxiliary control device repositioned by the ' controller pressure and having a direct connection to the valve stem. It permits the full available air pressure to be used on the diaphragm top to overcome hysteresis, packing gland friction and pressure variation of the controlled media, to position the valve precisely in accordance with the controller pressure.
A pneumatic damper motor is a diaphragm or bellows assembly operating against
resisting springs to reposition an arm or lever assembly. They may be attached directly
to the damper frame, either inside or outside of same, or fitted with brackets for wall or
floor mounting. The springs used to return the motors to their normal positions are
available in several tensions to permit their operation in selected sequence. Pilot posi
tioners may be applied to damper motors in the same manner as described- for dia
phragm valves.
.
Pneumatic dampers in either the single blade or multi-louver type should be sub
stantially built in heavy frames, properly braced to hold true against any sag in the
supporting structure, in order to prevent distortion of the louvers and binding of their
supporting trunnions. When large dampers are used for open and shut control, the
regular multi-louver type of damper serves the purpose. Where accurate volume control
is desired with gradual positioning of the damper blades, the adjacent louvers should be
arranged to move in opposite directions in order to properly proportion the available
free area through the damper from its fully open to its fully closed position. Multi
louver dampers with louvers which all move in the same direction provide full free area.
through all but their top and bottom louvers when the louvers reach 45 deg open position.
Where fairly tight closing is desired, the damper frames should be fitted with solid stops
against which the louvers can close and where additional precautions are necessary,
rubber or felt stripping may be glued and riveted to the louver edges. The metal frames
of the smaller dampers are usually made of %-\n. stock. Solid stops are usually 34 in.
. deep. The free area of the duct enclosing the damper is thereby reduced 134 in. in each
dimension through the damper. Where channel frames are used, the restriction is in
creased accordingly. Damper louvers should be suspended on non-corrosive trunnions.
Thrust bearings are necessary to properly support large vertical louvers. Where ball or
roller bearings are required for special conditions, they should be of the non-corrosive
type.

DESIGNATION OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Temperature may be controlled from three basic conditions:
Dry-bulb Control: The controller element senses the dry-bulb temperature.
. Wet-Bulb Control: The controller element senses a true wet-bulb temperature. Wicking of selected material suspended from the controller element to a water trough directly below the element is one of the mediums frequently used to obtain' wet-bulb temperature. True wet-bulb temperatures can only be maintained'with clean wicking and air motion of not less than 600 fpm. The use of distilled water in the wet-bulb reservoir is desirable. Since the wet-bulb temperature indicates the heat content, this form of control while requiring additional and intelligent care to maintain true wet-bulb
. conditions, has many definite uses.
Dew-Point Control: A saturated condition at a predetermined temperature is main
tained.
"
...
AUTOMATIC CONTROL TERMINOLOGY
The following is . a generally accepted terminology referring to the ' operations of controls in a central air conditioning system.
Control Point: . The desired constant condition of the controlled media to be main-
$98
CHAPTER, 34 .
1946 Guide
a` . tained. Some change of the controlled condition must occur to alter the prevailing con
j! troller action..
Thermometer Lag: The instantaneous temperature differential existing at any time between the .true temperature of the medium and the temperature indicated on the thermometer.
Controller Lag: The time delay in the controller's ability to reposition the controlled sources to properly compensate for a change in the controlled condition.
Process Lag: (Process Time Lag) The time which elapses between the instant the control valve is positioned by the controller and the instant the controller element senses . the effect of the change. This depends upon the rate of heat transfer, the specific heat, and the velocity of the fluid movement. Generally a decrease in process time lag simpli fies the control problem.
Rate of Load Change: Time element of change in the magnitude of lo^d.
Magnitude of Load Change: The per cent load at a specified time. It directly affects the size of the controlling valve. Where the inlet temperature varies constantly; the . control problem becomes more difficult as the thermal difference between the inlet tem perature and the leaving temperature of the controlled media becomes greater.
Drift: The deviation from the control point due to change in load conditions from 0 to 100 per cent.
Drift increases as the sensitivity adjustment of the controller is lowered, thereby
tending to decrease hunting. Drift decreases as the sensitivity adjustment of the con
troller is raised, thereby increasing hunting.
- -
Hunting or Cycling: The temperature variation between the high and low points of ' the control cycle due to lag. This balances out at the point where tech successive wave
of temperature reaching the controller is as large as its predecessor. As the sensitivity is lowered, hunting decreases but drift increases. Oversized control valves increase hunting.
. Throttling Range or Sensitivity Adjustment: The total rise in temperature at the
controller bulb required to reposition the control valve from a fully open to a fully closed
position or to operate several devices controlled in sequence throughout the full sequence
. range. In connection with chart type controllers, throttling range is usually expressed in' *
per cent of the total range of the chart. For other types^ ofc instruments, sensitivity
adjustment is expressed in pounds variation of branch pressure per degree change in
temperature, or per other unit of change of the controlled media.
.
Low Sensitivity: A small change in branch pressure for a comparatively large tern-
perature or pressure change in the controlled medium. This results in a greater deviation
from the control point. Low sensitivity tends to reduce hunting but the lower the sen
sitivity, the greater will be the drift.
, .' *
High Sensitivity: A large change in branch pressure for a comparatively small tem
perature or pressure change of the controlled medium. The extreme of high sensitivity
is the on-off or two-position control. As the sensitivity is raised, drift decreases, but the
tendency to hunt increases.
- ' ''
Automatic Reset: A mechanical addition td a controller which corrects for drift by .
.constantly resetting the instrument to operate on the control point, while repositioning
the controlled valve or damper from its fully open to its fully closed position. Reset
action is superimposed on throttling range and both function simultaneously. The rate
of reset is manually adjustable and must be set to meet the. load requirements, of the
individual system. This supplementary device provides the accuracy of high sensitivity
adjustment with a minimum of hunting.
\.
Diaphragm hysteresis is the amount by which the stem travel of a given motor fails to assume the identical position on the upward and downward strokes for an identical, air pressure in the diaphragm top. It prevails in varying degrees in connection with the operation of all pneumatic diaphragm motors, and is .due to spring and diaphragm hysteresis and friction of guide bearing and stuffing box. Assume that a direct acting valve moving to a closed position will travel 50 per cent of its total with 8 lb air pressure on the diaphragm top. It the diaphragm pressure is increased to further close the valve and then reduced to 8 lb, the valve may be repositioned to be only 45 per cent open, indicating 5 per cent hysteresis. Hysteresis is usually expressed in per cent of the full'
stroke of valve stem.

RESIDENTIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
The control installation in a residence may vary from the simple regulatiori of a coal-fired heating plant to the completely automatic all year air conditioning system. Residential installations with automatic fuel burning appliances, such as oil burners, gas burners or stokers, are .
Automatic Control
599
normally equipped with single room thermostat, limit and safety controls
as outlined under Control of Automatic Fuel Burning Appliances.
'
Coal-Fired Heating Plant '
';
Control in the normal coal-fired domestic heating plant consists of.1
regulating the combustion rate in accordance with requirements. This
function is accomplished by a spring or' electric-drivert damper motor which, under the command of a room thermostat and through chain
linkage, operates the draft and check dampers of a boiler or warm air
furnace. Such installation should be protected against excessive tem perature or pressure by means of a limit control serving to check the fire
when conditions at the boiler or furnace reach a predetermined maximum.'
All Year Domestic Hot Water Supply
-
'.
Hot water or steam heating boilers with automatic fuel burning ap
pliances can be used for all year heating of domestic water supply. , The
. fuel burning appliance in this case is controlled from the temperature of
water or pressure of steam in the boiler to maintain .uniform boiler con
ditions and domestic hot water is heated by means of an indirect heater.
The heating of the residence is normally governed by means of a- ther
mostat which operates a control valve in the' flow line of a gravity hot
water or a steam system or which controls the circulating pump in a hot
water system.
.'
Air Conditioning Systems
1
Residential air conditioning systems normally include a heating source and a motor-driven fan for circulating air. In addition, such installations may involve spray-head equipment to supply humidity. Such instal lations distribute heated and humidified air during the heating cycle, and during the summer or cooling cycle may be used effectively as conditioners if equipped with refrigeration means.
Regulation of the humidity during the heating cycle is normally accom
plished by opening and closing a solenoid water valve, supplying water to
the spray-heads, the solenoid valve being under control of a room type
humidity control. In the average installation the fan is permitted to run
only during such intervals as the thermostat is calling for heat or at the
command of a limit control to prevent the overheating of the bonnet of a
warm air furnace. ' The limit control should also prevent the operation of
the fan at the command of the thermostat until the circulating air tem
perature has increased to a predetermined point.
..
For the cooling equipment provided in such installations,' control
during the cooling cycle will be. an adaptation of the control principles
described for central fan systems selected for the type of cooling equip
ment utilized.
'
CONTROL OF AUTOMATIC FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES
It is essential that automatic controls be used with oil burners, gas burners, and stokers.in order to maintain even temperatures and provide safe and economical operation of the heating plant.
Oil Burner Controls
.
In the normal oil burner installation as encountered in residential and small commercial installations, the burner operation is frequently regu lated by electric controls, and primarily governed by a .room thermostat. It is essential that a limiting control be incorporated in the control system to prevent the temperature of the heating medium from exceeding any
600
CHAPTER 34
1946 Guide
predetermined safe maximum. The type of limit control' selected will depend on the type of the heating system. In a warm air furnace instal lation, a limit control would be used,- reacting to the temperature of the heated air in the bonnet of the furnace; in a hot water system a control reacting to the temperature'of the water in the boiler; and in a steam system a control reacting to the pressure of the steam in the boiler. '
In addition to the normal control of the burner from the room ther mostat and limit control, it is necessary that a combustion safety device be used to prevent operation of the burner under hazardous conditions. The oil fire is automatically ignited by means of gas, electric spark of incandescent element and the combustion safety control acting through a sequence device permits the burner operation only when the fire is prop erly established as the burner starts up. A further function of the com bustion safety control is to react to any major disturbance in the flame during the running operation, shutting down the burner and preventing the discharge of unburned fuel if for any reason the flame is extinguished.;
Gas Burner Controls
In the case of the domestic burner, full automatic operation is the
normal requirement and the burner is started and stopped at the. com
mand of a room thermostat which, in turn, opens ana closes a control
valve in the gas supply line. Modulating controls and controls providing
a high and low fire are also available for gas burners. For purposes of
preventing abnormally high temperatures in the bonnet of gas-fired
furnaces or in the temperature of the water in gas-fired hot water heating
boilers or excessive pressures in gas-fired steam boilers, temperature and
pressure limit controls are used. Ignition is normally secured through the
use of a gas pilot flame and a safety device is provided; utilizing the heat
of the pilot flame in such a manner that if the pilot light is extinguished
for any reason, the main gas valve cannot be opened. For satisfactory
and economical operation, all automatically-fired gas burners should be
equipped with pressure regulators oh the gas supply line.
--
Stoker Controls
- -
Domestic stokers are normally placed under command of a room thermostat for primary operation subject also to the command of a limit control to prevent their operation when conditions in the boiler or furnace exceed predetermined safe maximums. Utilizing coal as fuel, automatic ignition is not provided and the stokers, once ignited, maintain their fire, merely changing the rate of combustion by changing the draft and the rate at which the coal is fed. Thus, at the command of the room ther mostat the stoker motor is started; driving a forced draft fan and fuel feeding mechanism. The rate of combustion is thus increased and this operation continues until the thermostat has been satisfied when the motor is stopped and the fuel in the combustion chamber continues to burn at a slow rate with reduced draft.
Automatic controls may be used to operate the stoker sufficiently to
maintain a fire in mild weather and also to prevent feeding of fuel if the
fire is extinguished.
-
ZONE CONTROL
Zone control for winter heating of buildings, in which a single room' thermostat will not provide satisfactory conditions and where the refine ment of control from individual room thermostats is npt a requisite, may be secured in various ways. According to its size, use and exposure, the
Automatic Control
601
building may be divided into zones where the general requirements will be relatively constant. The number of zones is determined by (1) size of building, (2). number and character of exposures, (3) variation in occupancy and other inside conditions, and (4) cost of additional zones. For large buildings it is desirable to have at least one zone for each exposure and for high buildings, each exposure may be sub-divided into upper and lower zones in order to properly provide for the stack effect. . In buildings of this type it is, advisable to provide a separate main with local thermostats for, the street floor heat sources, especially those adjacent to entrances and exits.
For small buildings or where cost or other conditions limit,the number of zones, a frequent compromise is to combine the North and West exposures in one zone and the South and East exposures in a second zone.
For steam heating systems, the radiator output may be proportionately, reduced as the outdoor temperature rises by several methods. Some of those in common use are:
" 1. Throttling steam pressure to allow flow through orifices in proportion to the needs for heating.
2. Turning steam on and off on time intervals proportioned to the needs for heating.
3. Varying the absolute pressure of steam in the system.
The usual zone controlling device is arranged to sense the effect of sun, wind, or rain, as well as the outdoor local zone temperature, and in some instances is fitted with additional elements sensing the indoor zone or zone radiator temperatures. It functions to regulate the rate of flow or the flow impulse as required to maintain the desired indoor zone tem perature condition. A switch panel containing manual switches arranged to raise or lower the operating point of each zone controller is frequently mounted at a selected location. These panels may contain time switches, for automatic cycling of day-night or other predetermined control pro grams. In buildings where some zones or all zones have no night occupancy, provisions may be made to index the control system to main tain predetermined low economy temperatures during the unoccupied periods and short morning warm-up period, and to obtain normal opera tion throughout the occupied period. Either manual operation or auto-. . matic cycling by time switch may be used. For hot water heating systems, the zone controller functions to regulate the water temperature in accordance with the prevailing outdoor temperature.
For discussion of zoning in air conditioned buildings see section on. Zoning in Chapter 43.
CONTROL OF UNIT SYSTEMS
'
Because of the usual segregated location of unit equipment throughout a building and its consequent lack of competent supervision, complete automatic control is essential to its satisfactory operation.
Unit Heaters
., '
In its simplest form, unit heater controL consists of a room thermostat to start the unit heater motor when heat is required and shut it off when the demand is satisfied. With this limited control, it is possible in some. instances that, with no steam available at the heater, the operation of the fan would cause objectionable drafts. To avoid this, limit controls are available which will prevent the operation of the-fan at the command of the room thermostat except when steam is available, as determined by
602
CHAPTER 34
1946 Guide
the temperature of the steam or return pipe or the pressure of the steam
supply.
-.
. .. .
,
Where several unit heaters serve a limited area, they may be grouped
. for purposes of automatic control, arid several heaters placed in operation
at the command of one thermostat. By properly grouping the units
which will operate together, the benefit of zone control can often be
obtained with a minimum of control equipment. Where such group
operation is utilized* the thermostat and limit control usually function
through a relay, as the combined load of the several motors may exceed
the current capacity of the thermostatic control device.
:
In some cases where cold drafts will not result, it is desirable to operate
the unit heaters continuously for circulation of: air. In such instances the
room, thermostat regulates the supply of steam to the unit through a
' control valve in the steam supply line and the unit heater motor operation
is manually controlled.
.
;.
Unit heaters equipped with dampers arranged for by-passing air around the heating coils are controlled by room thermostats operating modu lating damper motors attached to these dampers so that as the tempera-, tures rise, a decreasing amount of air is heated. When the by-pass is wide open the heating effect is so much reduced that control of the steam supplied to the coil is not generally important. If valve control is added, the throttling of the steam may be concurrent with, or subsequent to, the opening of the by-pass.
Cooling Units
. .< .
The recommended form of temperature control for a cooling unit con
templates the continuous operation of the fan, with automatic regulation of the compressor or cooling coil, or both, as determined by a thermostat
in the room, or in.the return air to the cooling unit.- Such operation
insures continuous circulation of air in the room, and in addition to
providing the cooling effect of moving air, overcomes the tendency of the
air to stratify. As the temperature begins to rise, the controller opens the
valve to a cold water cooling coil, .or for direct expansion coils, opens a
valve in the refrigerant line, closes a by-pass around the coil or starts
a compressor. .
..
.
Cooling units may also be controlled by arranging the room thermostats
to start and stop the1 fan motors or by a combination of motor and.
refrigerant control.
..
.
Unit Ventilators
' ' ''
.
There are various types of unit ventilators available but in general all
types are designed to. draw, air from the outside or to mix outside and
recirculated air, heat it and introduce it into the room under control of a
thermostat. .
..
.
..
.
' The design of unit ventilators has to an extent been based on the' requirements for automatic temperature control and the cycles of control have-been developed to include other heating devices in the rooms with unit ventilators. Unit ventilators are frequently used in schools and other types of buildings where states have laws or regulations governing the minimum amount of ventilation to be provided. The .control of the amount of outdo,or air is designed to conform to the various laws. Usually the device circulates a constant amount of air and the amount auto-' matically taken in from outdoors is controlled in one' of these ways: '
1 1. Full'recirculation lin'til.'the room temperature reaches a: certain point,'generally two degrees, below the desired room temperature; then a minimum amount of outdoor .
Automatic Control
603
air for ventilation while the temperature is maintained by throttling steam; and if the
room temperature rises with all steam shut off, a gradual increase in amount of outr
door air up to 100 per cent.
' ...
. :.
2. Full recirculation until the room reaches a set point below room temperature,
after which all air is taken from outside.
'-
...
'
3. Gravity recirculation while the fan motor is not running, with full outside air as
soon as the fan starts, obtained by a relay in the motor circuit.
-.
4. Full recirculation or all outdoor air as determined by a manual switch which can
be operated at any time whether or not the fan is running.1 All the unit ventilators in a
single building may be operated by one or many switches.
.
With arrangements 1 or 2, it is desirable to include a relay to prevent the intake dampers from opening while the fan is not running, regardless of room temperatures. With a dual system of control this is essential to prevent the thermostat keeping the outside damper open until the tem
perature falls to the reduced setting.
The intake and recirculated air quantities are determined by a single damper or by a pair of dampers working together, and operated by a damper motor. Although this affects the temperature of the air delivered, the main heat control comes from the throttling of the steam supplied to the heating coil, with or without by-pass damper control. To prevent air being delivered at too low a temperature, a low limit thermostat is commonly installed in the air stream and set at some point between 55 and 70 F. The lower settings may cause discomfort, the higher ones overheating, depending on circumstances. The air stream thermostat can be used to turn on steam, reduce the amount of outside air, or both.
Rooms with unit ventilators frequently have auxiliary heating, devices, such as direct radiators, convectors or unit heaters, all under control of a , single room thermostat. A common control cycle for such rooms is com posed of the following functions, assuming that 72 F is desired:
1. Below 70 F the unit ventilator intake damper is in full recirculating position and .
all heat is turned on.
. . .
. 2. At 70 F the intake damper moves to a position that will admit a predetermined
minimum amount of air from outdoors.
3. At 71 F the auxiliary heating devices are shut off.
4. From 71 to 72.5 F, the heating effect of the unit ventilator is throttled.
,
5. From 72.5 to 74 F, the intake damper is gradually moved to increase, the amount of-
outside air from the set minimum to 100 per cent.
6. If the room thermostat calls for too much cooling, the air stream thermostat holds
the delivery temperature at a proper minimum.
Other similar cycles may be used. One additional feature, is the use of
an air stream thermostat that has its control point reset, by the room
thermostat. Then as the room temperature rises, the delivery tempera
ture is gradually reduced from a maximum to a minimum..

CONTROL OF REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT
The most common means of providing cooling for air conditioning may
be divided into four general classifications as follows: : '
.
Refrigeration compressors may furnish refrigerant to direct expansion cooling coils through which air is being passed, or to coils in: cooling tanks , through which water is passed which is then pumped to air washers or cooling coils through which the air is passed.
In either case the compressor motor may be started and stopped in
order to meet the demand for refrigeration or a pressure controller may be
used to regulate the low side or suction pressure of the compressor. When
the latter method is used, the flow, of refrigerant to cooling coils may be
regulated by the opening and closing of a solenoid refrigerant, valve at the
command of a temperature controller or thermostat. '
604
CHAPTER 34
'1946 Guide
. A high pressure cutout as an individual unit or in combination with either a temperature or pressure controller provides a safety feature against excessive pressures on the high side of the compressor.
Many compressors may be unloaded, by instruments sensing room or
duct conditions, or by refrigerant pressures, thus reducing the frequency
of starting and stopping. If two or more compressors are used for a
single cooling system, step controllers are used to start them in sequence
at intervals of a few seconds to avoid the large momentary electric input
' that simultaneous starting would demand.
'
When condensers are water cooled, thermostatic control to vary the quantity of .water is needed for economical operation. Mechanical air condensers may be started and stopped with temperature demands.
Chilled water may be stored in tanks at temperatures slightly lower

.
When ice is used for the cooling or dehumidification of air, it is usually placed in bunkers and water is sprayed over it. This water, after being cooled, may be used in air washers or surface cooling coils and is usually returned to the bunker for additional cooling after being used.
Control of the water temperature leaving the cold jvater tank may be maintained by a temperature controller, which measures the temperature of the water in the tank and modulates a control valve in a by-pass which
permits a portion of the return water to return directly to the tank instead of passing through the sprays.

condenser and auxiliaries. The refrigerant used is water, and water
,vapor (steam) is the power medium.

discharge and its function is to recondense the water vapor drawn from the evaporator, plus the steam which supplies the energy for compression.
The temperature of the cold water leaving the flash chamber should be measured by a-temperature controller which will in turn operate a_ twoposition or positive-control valve installed in the steam line to the jet so as to permit steam to flow only when cooling is required. If city water is

to the demand as measured at the condenser outlet by means of a tem
perature controller and control valve.

.
Well water, if available in sufficient' quantities at low temperatures during
the cooling season, may be pumped directly to air washers or cooling
coils. Control is usually effected through control valves on the water
supply to the cooling unit actuated by temperature or' humidity con-
trailers, or both, located either at the outlet of the conditioner or in the
conditioned space.

APPLICATION OF CONTROL DEVICES TO A TYPICAL SYSTEM ;
Fig. 1 shows the location of controlling devices for a year 'round air conditioning
system such as shown in^ Chapter 43, Fig. 3. A control diagram for pneumatic control
equipment is shown in Fig. 2for convenience in explaining the function and sequence of
operation of the control in Fig. 1, but obviously, the individual controls may alg^> be of
self-contained or electrically operated type provided they obtain the same control of
valves and dampers.
.
The auxiliary controlling devices indicated may all be mounted together on an instru
ment board which may also contain a framed copy of the control diagram and the
description of the automatic control cycle. Air gages, identified by suitable inscription
plates, may be installed in the branch connections to and from the auxiliary devices oh
the instrument board to indicate the functioning of the various devices.
.- >
A description of the automatic control cycle follows:
.
When the fan motor is stopped, solenoid air valve E-l, actuated from the fan motor
circuit, is de-energized and exhausts its branch to close minimum outdoor damper D-l,
reposition three-way air valve V-a to close heating coil valve V-l, and remove main air
from remote bulb indicator dew-point thermostat T-l, thereby closing maximum out
door damper D-2 and opening return air damper D-3.
.
When the fan motor is started, E-l fills its branch, thereby opening minimum outdoor
. damper D-l, repositions V-a to permit T-3 and T-4 to control V-l and supplies main air
to T-l to permit same to operate D-2 and D-3.
During the summer cooling season, manual indexing switch S-l is positioned to fill its '
branch, whereby it supplies main air to dew-point thermostat T-2, positions three-way *
air valves V-e and V-f to permit T-3 to control face damper D-4 and by-pass damper D-5,
positions three-way air valve V-b to close heating coil valve V-l, positions three-way air *
. valveV-c to remove the control of maximum outdoor damper D-2 and return air damper
D-3 from dew-point thermostat T-l and place these dampers under the control of dew
point thermostat T-2.
/.
.
When S-l is positioned as noted, remote bulb dew-point thermostat T-2 functions
. on a rising temperature to first gradually open maximum outdoor damper D-2 while
simultaneously closing return air damper D-3 and on a further slight temperature
rise, gradually positions chilled water valve V-2 to pass chilled water to the dehumidifier.
The reverse operating sequence occurs on a falling dew-point temperature. Should the
outdoor wet-bulb temperature rise above the desired, indoor wet-bulb temperature,
positive acting-outdoor wet-bulb thermostat T-5, positions three-way air valve V-d to
' remove dampers D-2 and D-3 from the control of T-2, thereby closing outdoor damper
D-2 and opening return air damper D-3.
;j
On a rising return air temperature T-3 functions to open face damper D-4, while simultaneously closing by-pass damper D-5 as required to maintain the desired return air temperature. The reverse, operation occurs on availing return air temperature. :
During all seasons except the summer cooling season, manual switch S-l is.positioned
to exhaust its branch, thereby making dew-point thermostat T-2 inoperative and posi
tions chilled water valve V-2 for continuous recirculation, positions three-way valve Vfb
to permit heating coil valve V-l to be operated as required, positions three-way valve
V-c to permit T-l to control D-2 and D-3, positions three-way valve V-e to permit T-3
to operate through low limit discharge thermostat T-4 to control heater valve V-l and
positions three-way valve V-f to open normally closed face damper D-4 arid close
normally open by-pass damper D-5.
\ -
.
' When switch S-l is positioned as noted, remote bulb dew-point thermostat T-l
functions on a rising temperature to gradually open maximum outdoor damper D-2,
while simultaneously closing return air damper D-3 as required to maintain the desired *
dew-point temperature. The reverse operation occurs on a falling dew-point tempera
ture. When the outdoor wet-bulb temperature rises above the desired dew-point
temperature,, the dew-point temperature will rise accordingly until such time as the
system is indexed for summer cooling and chilled water is made available to drop the
dew-point temperature.
' '
'.
. Return air thermostat T-3 functions on a rising temperature to pass air, through low
limit discharge thermostat T-4 to gradually close heating coil valve V-l.' Should the
discharge temperature fall below the operating point of T-4, this thermostat, will release
' air from its branch to gradually open V-l as required to maintain the desired low limit
discharge temperature regardless of the operation of T-3.

Motor Rating; Functions of Motor Control Equipment; Direct Current Motors, Types, Control Equipment and Specifications; Alternating Current Motors, 'Types, Control Equipment and Specifications; Gear Motors; Glossary of Motor Terms, Enclosures, Speed Classification and Mounting
THE electric motor, available in many different types suitable for various services, is now the most widely used form of prime mover. The equipment for starting, controlling and protecting these motors varies ' with the type and with the functions it, is desired to attain. Motors are divided into two general classifications, alternating-current or directcurrent, depending on the power source to be used.
In selecting a motor for a particular application consideration must first be given to the type of. power supply available. All machinery has certain load characteristics which may vary with speed. Some types may have a constant torque over wide ranges of speed, while others may have changing torques with changing speed. Consideration should be given to selecting the motor and the motor control which best suit the requirements of the drive.
MOTOR RATING
The rating of an electric motor depends upon the total temperature
which the motor attains under operating conditions. This total tem
perature depends on both the ambient temperature and the temperature
rise of the motor. As motor temperature rise is in turn determined by
the ability of the motor to dissipate heat, circulation to the motor should
not be restricted. Improper selection of motors with regard to.tem
perature ratings may result in high motor operating temperatures with
accompanying reduction in motor life.
'
In general, the electrical insulation is the portion of the motor most
susceptible to injury from high operating temperatures. Of the several
types of insulation which are available, the most common type, specified
as Class A by .the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, consists
of cotton, felt, paper or similar organic materials and permits a 55 C rise
. in temperature over a 40, C ambient temperature. Class B insulation
. consists of mica, asbestos, fiber glass, or similar inorganic materials and
permits a 75 C rise in temperature over the 40 C ambient temperature.
Other types of insulation such as silicone resin are available and permit
extremely high operating temperatures.
.
'
. The mechanical construction of the different types of motor enclosures
and the rise in temperature with Class A insulation for each type are
enumerated in the glossary at the end of this chapter. Since the dif
ference in temperature between the hottest spot and the nominal tem
perature, as measured by a thermometer, is greater for a completely
unprotected machine than it is for an enclosed machine, the permissible
temperature rise is smaller for an open motor.
FUNCTIONS OF CONTROL EQUIPMENT FOR MOTORS
In general, control equipment for all types of motors should provide: (1) means of disconnecting the motor from.the power supply; (2) means

for starting the motor; (3) overload protection for the motor; (4) pro tection against low voltage; and (5) means for varying the motor speed.
Full voltage starting for motors is preferable because of its lower first
cost and simplicity of control. Except for d-c machines, most motors are
mechanically and electrically designed for full voltage starting. The
starting inrush current, however, is limited in many cases by regulations
of power companies because of the voltage fluctuations which may be
caused by heavy current surges. It is therefore often necessary to reduce
the starting current below that obtained by across-the-line starting.
The power supplier- should . be consulted to determine' the allowable
inrush current for any given location.
..
.
The choice between full voltage and reduced voltage starting is
governed almost entirely by inrush current limitations. The starting
torque of all motors varies with the starting current and.it is therefore
necessary to insure that the motor is supplied with sufficient current to
develop enough torque to accelerate the load.
.
In present practice overload protection of motors is- obtained by use of thermal overload inverse time limit type protection. The usual setting of such protection devices is at 125 per cent overload, the element trip-
610
CHAPTER 35
1946 Guide
ping after a definite interval of time. The National Electric Code requires .
the addition of fuses or circuit breakers to .protect the overload elements
from severe short circuit currents.
'
Two types of protection are available against low voltage at the motor terminals. One type, called low voltage release, permits the motor line ' contactor to drop out on low voltage and to close again when the voltage returns to normal, thereby restarting the motor when the abnormal condition is ended. The second type, called low voltage protection, causes the motor line contactor to drop out on low voltage but prevents restarting when the voltage returns to normal except by the action of an operator. This latter type of protection is desirable where it is necessary for the operator to make initial starting adjustments on the machine.
Manual control for an alternating or a direct current motor is usually located near the motor. When so located an operator must be present to start and stop, or change the speed of the motor by operating the' control mechanism. Manual control is sometimes employed only as a device to give overload protection and another device is employed to start and stop the motor. Manual control is used particularly on small motors which operate unit heaters, small blowers, and room coolers in an air conditioning system. In other cases manual control in the form of drums, when used with multi-speed motors, is only used as a speed setting device while the starting and stopping functions operate automatically through thermostats and pressure switches.
Because of the increasing complexity of air conditioning systems, the equipment is operated preferably by automatic control and less depen dence is placed on manual operation and regulation. '
Automatic control of motor starters may be accomplished by the use
of remote push button stations, by a thermostat, float switch, pressure.
regulator, or other similar pilot devices.- An added advantage of auto
matic control is that the main wiring for the. starter may be installed
near the motor, while the starter may be operated by a control device
located elsewhere.
.
DIRECT CURRENT MOTORS
Direct- current motors are classified (see Table 1) according to type'of winding as: shunt wound, compound, wound,and.series wound,,.
Shunt Wound motors, being suitable for application to fans, centrifugal
pumps,-, or similar equipment where the amount. of. starting . torque
required is relatively small, are used for the majority of direct current
applications in the field of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning.
. They may be used , on reciprocating pumps, and compressors if started
under unloaded conditions.

: Without auxiliary control the shunt wound motor is designated as

motors, showing speed, horsepower, and torque as a function of-current.

The characteristics of this type of motor, are such that for starting torques
above full-load torque the starting current required is somewhat less
than for: the shunt wound motor. Compound wound direct - current
motors are normally used whenever frequent starting . makes high
starting and accelerating torque desirable. Without auxiliary control,
compound wound motors are designated as varying speed,* and have a
speed regulation of 25 per cent.
.
.... ..
Series Wound motors find only limited application in a few special cases and are available in a limited range of sizes. The motors are used where extremely high starting torques are required and must be applied only to direct coupled continuous loads due to the fact that the speed
of -the motor becomes dangerously high when the motor is operated at
a light load;

~ Adjustable Speed Motors are normally shunt wound and are operated at various speeds by varying a resistance connected in series with the motor-field. . A maximum range of speed of about 5 to 1 can be obtained by this means. Rated speed regulation is 22 per cent for motors of this type from 2 to 5 hp; 15 per cent is standard in larger sizes. The NEMA practice on rating adjustable speed d-c motors is defined in the Glossary at the end of the chapter.
The control for the adjustable speed motor consists of the addition of a field rheostat for speed contralto the equipment specified for the constant speed motor.

Adjustable Varying Speed * Motors are d-c motors in which the speed is varied by the addition of resistance in series with the armature. The speed of the motor by this means is always less than the rated full field speed and varies widely with a change in load, especially with high series resistance. Fig. 3 illustrates typical speed characteristics of this type of motor for different values of armature resistance.
The addition of series resistance in the armature circuit reduces the
motor speed by lowering the voltage on the armature. At one-half speed
the voltage is approximately one-half of line voltage. Consequently,
with rated full load current the power delivered by the motor will be only
one-half of the maximum, e.g., it will be 5 hp from a 10 hp motor, because
the other 5 hp will be lost in the resistance. It is, therefore,.evident that
the.efficiency of the motor is reduced at reduced speeds due to the loss
in the resistor..

Control for the adjustable varying speed motor is similar to that for , the constant speed motor with the exception that the starting .resistor

are available both for constant torque applications and varying torque

..
The Adjustable Voltage type of speed control is also often known as the variable voltage or Ward-Leonard system. For machines requiring a'
wide range in speed control and a large number of steps of control this
type of system is used most extensively. The drive consists of one or
more d-c motors, the armatures of which are supplied with power from
a d-c generator and the fields of (ill machines are excited from a constant
voltage exciter. A schematic diagram of connections for an. adjustable
voltage drive is shown in Fig. 4. In most cases-the d-c generator is. a
part of a three-unit set including a constant speed a-c driving motor. and
a constant voltage exciter. As the voltage on the generator and con-,
sequently on the d-c motor or motors is adjusted by a rheostat.in the

generator field circuit; a great many steps are thus obtained in an efficient manner. With constant field excitation on the motor the speed of the motor Will vary approximately as the voltage on the generator.
Extremely wide speed ranges are possible with the adjustable voltage type of drive.- Ranges as high as 10 to 1 are common and, by the addition of field control on the motors, ranges as high as 40 to 1 are permissible. This type of drive provides the advantage of good speed regulation over the entire speed range, as shown in Fig. 3 in which this type of drive is compared with the.adjustable varying speed drive.
Typical specifications for d-c motor control are shown on page 613.

motors provide high starting torque with low starting current and are used on compressors,' started' without unloaders, and oil reciprocating ' pumps. Class D motors have high slip * and are used with flywheels for widely pulsating loads on equipment such as reciprocating compressors and pumps where other motors would draw high peak currents.
Figs. 5,6,7, and 8 illustrate the characteristics of squirrel-cage motors.
It will be noticed by inspection of Fig. 6 that both power factor and
efficiency are improved if the motors are operating as near rated load as
possible. In addition, as.shown in Fig. 8, power factor and. efficiency
are better for higher speed motors.

ALTERNATING CURRENT MOTORS
Aiterriatiiig current motors.are divided, into two main classifications:.
polyphase and single phase (see Table lj, according to the type of power
. supply used. They are further subdivided as to the type of motor
winding. .......
.
When polyphase power.is available it is usually found more economical to apply polyphase motors in preference to single phase motors. A' typical 5'hp,"1200 rpm capacitor start-induction run single phase motor,' for instance,'will cost-approximately twice as much as the corresponding
three phase Class B squirrel-cage motor. In addition,, the polyphase, motor has the advantages of higher power factor and higher efficiency.
Polyphase Motors
-
The-three; types, of -polyphase motors, are: squirrel-cage induction
motors, wound rotor induction motors, and synchronous motors.
.;
:. Squirrel-Cage motors: are specified by. NEMA in classes providing'a variety, of speed and torque characteristics. ' Class A motors provide
normal Starting torque at- normal starting current and are suitable-for constant speed: application; to equipment such as fans and blowers,-in which-startingcurrent need not be limited. .Class B motors provide normal starting-torque at low-starting current and are used for the same type of application-las' Class A-where starting current must be limited. Class C
controller and resistance can develop full load torque when starting with about full load current. For comparison, a squirrel-cage motor would require from 3 <:o 5 times as much current to develop full load torque at starting. The wound rotor motor is also used for varying speed service to drive fans, blowers, and other continuous duty apparatus. Typical specifications for wound rotor motors are shown on page 616.
.
The .addition of . resistance-to the secondary'winding of the. wound rotor motor-changes the speed torque characteristics as.indicated in Fig. 9. The motor speed, , with the resistance added,, is-dependent on load and consequently the motor has very poor speed regulation when secondary resistance is added to reduce the speed to values below 50 per cent. .

Synchronous motors-are used for continuous duty applications at con stant speed where efficiency and: power factor; are important. -. Another advantage of these motors is that of lower initial cost in large sizes and for low speeds when compared with squirrel-cage type motors. . . ;
The outstanding, advantage, of the synchronous motor is, that its-power factor can be changed to compensate for the. low power factor of, other drives in the same location. Lagging power factor is an inherent charac teristic of all induction apparatus, such as induction motors, and neon signs. Unless synchronous motors or capacitors.are:installed, the plant ' power factor may be comparatively, low. This does not necessarily mean that corrective equipment, must always-be installed, but in most cases it is desirable to determine what advantages may be gained by improving

the power factor. With purchased power, if the rates include a clause embodying a penalty for low power factor, or a bonus for high power factor, the saving in power costs may often make a very good return on . the investment required for the corrective equipment.
Synchronous motors are used to drive fans, blowers, pumps, compres
sors and other applications. Compressor applications having a high
peak torque require the use of flywheels to smooth out power peaks; and
should always be referred to the electrical manufacturer for recommen
dations.
'
'
Synchronous motors are provided with built-in damper windings on the'rotor and operate during the starting period similarly to squirrel-cage motors. After the motor is nearly up to speed, field excitation is applied and the motor draws into step at synchronous speed. After excitation is applied the motor runs at exactly constant speed and will remain at this speed uiitil a load approaching the pull-qut load is reached, whereupon the motor pulls ouf of synchronism and stops. .
. In applying synchronous motors consideration must be given to the torque the motor can develop on pull-in, that is, at the instant when field

Typical specifications for synchronous motors are shown on page 616.
Multi-Speed motors provide flexibility in many types of drives. Syn chronous motors can be furnished only with a 2 to -1 ratio-in speed, single winding. Squirrel-cage induction motors may be 2, 3 or 4 speed. Two-speed, induction motors are usually of single winding type, having a 2 to 1 speed ratio such as 600 rpm and 1200 rpm,. or may be double winding. Three-speed induction motors are always two winding,' and four-speed motors are usually two winding with a 2 to 1 speed ratio

Single Phase Motors
Single phase induction motors inherently develop no starting torque and are provided with auxiliary windings and devices for starting pur-
injeach winding; Motors can be provided in constant torque,' varying
torque or constant horsepower ratings. The constant horsepower type
of motor is considerably larger them the constant torque motor due to the
fact that the same horsepower must be developed-at either reduced speed
or high speed.
.
In selecting two-speed motors for fan, pump, blower, or compressor applications, it is usually found that two winding motors are more expensive than the single winding type. The control cost for two-speed, two winding motors, however, is more economical, and therefore the combined price of both motor and control for the two winding motor is only slightly higher. Because of the improved performance of the two

In larger ratings a linestarter is usually provided with either an addi tional safety switch or circuit breaker for disconnecting and short circuit protection. Reduced voltage starting may be either of manual or push . button controlled magnetic type. In specifying this type of starter con-, sideration should be given to the fact that starting, torque of squirrelcage motors varies as the square of the applied voltage. For example, a motor developing 100 lb-ft starting torque on full voltage would produce only 25 lb-ft torque on starting on half rated voltage. Fig. 11 illustrates recommended control practice for squirrel-cage motors. Typical speci fications for squirrel-cage motor controls are shown on page 620.
Wound Rotor motors require control of both primary and secondary
circuits. The primary* control may be the same as for squirrel-fcage
motors, manual or magnetic, at full voltage. . Secondary* control pro
vides means of varying secondary resistance for starting and speed,
control. The secondary controller should be specified for starting duty
only or. for speed regulating duty. Fig. 12 illustrates recommended
control practice for wound rotor motors. Typical specifications for
wound rotor motor control are shown on page 620.

Motors and Motor Controls
623
Synchronous motor starters should provide pu!l-.qut protection, auto
matic synchronization or automatic stopping of the motor after pull-out,
and insurance of complete starting sequence, as well as overload and low
voltage protection. The control may be either magnetic or semi-magnetic
at full or reduced voltage. Semi-magnetic starters provide automatic
field control but require hand operation for closing the line contactors to
start and transfer to full voltage.
'
In applying reduced voltage starters to synchronous motors it should
be remembered that, since these motors are started on damper windings
and during the acceleration period function similarly to squirrel-cage
motors, the starting torque varies as the square of the applied voltage.,
ACROSS THE LINE STARTING
Arrangements 2, 3, 4 and 5 provide automatic push-button starting. Fig. 11. Recommended Controls for Squirrel-Cage Motors
Consideration should be given to insure development of sufficient motor
torque to accelerate the load. . Typical specifications for synchronous
motor control are shown on page 622.
.
Multi:Speed control may be either manual or magnetic,, and at full or
reduced voltage. When using automatic magnetic control with, two-,
three-, and four-speed separate winding. or consequent pole motors, '
control may be obtained from a remote point by means of a push button
master switch. The various speeds of the motor are obtained from the
master switch by simply depressing the correct push button. This is
known as selective speed control. It is commonly used in. the smaller
theater installations where the fan and motor are located backstage and
the speed control is located in the lobby.
.
.
Multi-speed motor controllers may be provided with compelling relays which make it necessary for the operator to press the first speed button before regulating the motor to the desired speed. This insures that the motor is always started at low.speed before adjusting.to a higher speed.'

GEAR MOTORS
A gear motor is a self-contained combination of any type of a-c or d-c
motor and an enclosed speed-reducing gear, providing a more compact
and readily adaptable unit than is obtained by using a motor coupled to
a gear reducer. Gear motors are available in sizes up to 75 hp with output
shaft speeds from about 4 to 1430 rpm, making it possible to couple or to'
connect by gear or chain to nearly any machine. High speed motors are
used, generally 1800 rpm on 60 cycles, thus obtaining the advantages of
high motor power factor and efficiency. The gearing efficiency is also'
high, usually about 98 per cent for a single reduction of the helical or .
spur type, that is, a 2 per cent loss for one reduction or 4 per cent loss .
for a double reduction. Consequently, the over-all performance of the
gear motors is much higher than a.combination of open gearing, belting,
countershaft, or other arrangement, which would otherwise be required.
Gear motors are used extensively to drive numerous types of slow speed
drives. Besides being more effective than other combination drives
in saving space, they are important in reducing maintenance and oper
ating hazards.

General Definitions
GLOSSARY .
NEMA is the abbreviation for the National Electrical Manufacturers Association.
Speed Regulation (d^c motors) is the change in speed between no-load and full-load, expressed in per cent of full-load speed; for'example, a motor having a no-load speed of 1200 rpm and a full load speed of 1140 rpm would have a speed regulation of 5.6 per cent.
Slip (a-c induction motors) is the difference between the motor speed and synchronous speed expressed in per cent of synchronous speed, e.g.t a 1200 rpm.motor operating at 1140 rpm would have a slip of 5 per cent.
Torque is an expression of the turning effort developed by the motor at the shaft and
is usually expressed in ounce-feet for fractional horsepower motors and in pound-feet
for motors of larger ratings.

Motor Speed Classifications
,
. A Constant Speed Motor is one in which the speed remains practically constant with changes in load; e.g., a d-c shunt wound motor or a-c squirrel-cage motor with low slip.
A Varying Speed Motor is one in which the speed varies with the.load, usually decreas ing when the load increases; e.g., a d-c series motor or an induction motor with large slip.
An Adjustable Varying Speed Motor is one in which the speed.can be adjusted gradu ally, but when once adjusted for a given load will vary in considerable degree with change in load; e.g., a shunt wound d-c motor adjusted by armature resistance control.
An Adjustable Speed Motor is one in;which the speed can be varied gradually over a
considerable range, but when once adjusted remains practically unaffected by the load;
e.g., a. d-c shunt motor with field resistance control. . The standard ratings for open
type, adjustable speed motors, having a speed range'of 3 to 1 and greater are in accor
dance with the following:
'.
(1) A standard continuous horsepower rating at 150 per cent of minimum speed with
. . a temperature rise of 40 C.
.
(2) The next higher standard continuous horsepower rating at 3 times minimum
speed with a temperature rise of 40 C.
.
(3) Between 150 per cent of minimum speed and 3 times minimum speed, the standJ ard continuous horsepower rating with a temperature rise of 40 C will vary with
; . the speed along arstraight line.connecting these two.horsepower ratings. No further increase in horsepower.is recognized above 3 times minimum speed.-. .
(4) Below 150 per cent of minimum speed the lower continuous horsepower rating
_s (see preceding.item 1) will apply with a temperature rise of 50 C.
.
Example: 20/25 hp, 400 to l600 rpm. This motor may be rated 20 hp, 40 C at 600 rpm and 25 hp, 40 C from 1200 to 1600 rpm. Between 600 and 1200 rpm the rated horsepower increases .directly with speed from 20 to 25 hp.
(5) Motors may also be rated 1 hour with temperature rise of 50 C with the higher horsepower rating (see preceding item 2) throughout the entire speed range.

AN assembly of functional elements, as indicated by the name, comprises the unit air conditioner or unit air cooler. Such a unit when complete in itself, employing its own direct means of air distribution and source of refrigeration is known as a self-contained unit. When used in various combinations with remote sources of refrigeration, heat or air supply, it is termed a remote unit, indicating that the source of refrig eration is not contained within the unit cabinet. Either the self-contained
or remote type units may be located within or without the conditioned area, and are a separate classification from the central plant type of
system, as described in Chapter 43. .
-
The code, Standard Method of Rating and Testing Air Conditioning
Equipment1, defines the various types of unitary equipment:
1. h Cooling Unit is a specific air treating combination consisting of means for air
circulation and cooling within''prescribed temperature limits.
'
2. An Air Conditioning Unit is a specific air treating combination consisting of means
for ventilation, air circulation, air cleaning and heat transfer with control means for
maintaining temperature and humidity within prescribed limits.
3. A Cooling Air Conditioning Unit is a specific air treating combination consisting of means for ventilation, air circulation, air cleaning and heat transfer with control means for cooling and maintaining temperature and humidity within prescribed limits.
4. A Self-Contained Air Conditioning or Cooling Unit is ope in which a condensing
unit is combined in the same cabinet with the other functional elements. Self-contained
air conditioning units are classified 8 according to the .method of rejecting condenser heat
(water cooled, air cooled, and evaporatively cooled), method of introducing ventilation
air (no ventilation, ventilation by drawing air from outside, ventilation by exhausting,
room air to the outside, or ventilation by a combination of the last two methods), and
method of discharging air'to the room (free delivery or pressure type).
r
5. A Free Delivery Type Unit takes in air and discharges it directly to the space to be
treated without external elements which impose air resistance.
.-
6. A Pressure Type Unit is for use with one or more external elements which impose
air resistance.
' ..
' '*
7. A Forced-Circulation Air Cooler is a factory encased assembly of elements by which
heat is transferred from air to evaporating refrigerant*.
.
UNIT AIR CONDITIONERS
.
' This equipment takes the form of an encased assembly including the apparatus necessary to perform either some or all of the functions of cooling, dehumidifying, filtering, ventilation, air circulation, heating, and humidifying. Control of air conditions is provided by' manual switches, manual dampers, and automatic devices, in combination. The controls are either mounted on the units, or in some suitable location in the conditioned area. See Chapter 34 for a discussion of controls.
The various conditioning elements and their functions, which produce the required effects on air, are discussed under separate headings.
Heating
. '.
Heating is usually accomplished by means of a heating coil in the unit,
`
`'
627
628
CHAPTER 36

supplied with steam or hot water from an external source. Electric strip
heaters may also be considered, where installation and operating costs
justify their use. They are often used in special control applications.
Reverse cycle heating as described in Chapter 39 has been developed as a
feature in some unit air conditioning equipment, but this form of heating
has not yet been generally adopted.
.
Humidifying
Adding moisture to the air involves the absorption of heat, by the humidifying water, for conversion to water vapor. Heat may be supplied by heating the humidifying water, or supplied from the air to be humidi fied. In the latter case the air may be warmed or the water finely divided to present a large evaporating surface to the existing air. The source of heat may be from electricity, steam or hot water coils, or from a heat transfer surface as in a direct-fired unit.. Occasionally vapor is added directly by means of steam jets but this is usually confined to industrial applications because of the presence of some odor from the steam. Methods and types of humidifying apparatus are dealt with in detail in Chapter 37.
For unit application, some of the available methods are the spray nozzle, or the atomizing nozzle, the impact-jet, the' drip screen and the evaporating pan. The first method is usually employed where humidi fication on a large scale is desired, as with large remote industrial units. Eliminator plates are necessary and the water supply may be recirculated by a pump or wasted to the drain. The drip screen, impact-jet, evapo rator pan or small atomizing jets are used when humidification is desired in the smaller remote and self-contained units. *
Wetted surfaces exposed to the air stream and utilizing the capillary action of water on porous substances such as. fabrics and ceramics, are used for adding moisture to air. Frequent cleaning or replacement is necessary to avoid closing of the pores and to maintain freedom from odors or growths on the humidifying element.
Cooling and Dehumidifying
These two functions of air conditioning are usually performed simul taneously, although both may be done separately. For example,,air may be dehumidified or dehydrated without sensible cooling by the process of adsorption. Sensible cooling of air may be accomplished without dehu midifying by maintaining the cooling surface temperature above the dew-point-temperature of the air to be treated. Chapter 7 explains these fundamentals in detail.
Unit equipment commonly utilizes heat transfer surface such as pipes or coils, through which a cooling, medium such as water or.a refrigerant, is circulated. Types and methods of generating cooling mediums are covered in Chapter 39. Brine or water sprays may be used if desirable, either separately or in combination with coil or pipe surface. However, these methods find their best application in the larger, remote type units.' Surface temperature and area of the coil or pipe, air volume and velocity, and spray temperature and volume are some of the controlling factors in unit air conditioner design and application. Ice as a cooling medium is practical but is seldom used in connection with units. .
Filtering
.,
Cleaning of outside or recirculated air discharged to the conditioned area is one of the important functions of air conditioning, ahd.air filters
Unit Air Conditioners, Unit Air Coalers, Attic Fans
629'
should be included, on all units which condition air for comfort. Pro
tection is also afforded the cooling and heating coils as well as the con
denser coil in the case of the air cooled type. . .
-
Means of filtering may vary from the lint screen to the electrostatic filter, with the degree of efficiency covering a wide range. Inexpensive throw-away type filters lend themselves well to the compact design of the unit conditioner. Air cleaning devices form the subject of Chapter 33.
Ventilating
Provision for the introduction of outside air should be an essential part
of unit conditioner design. Odors and air vitiation are avoided and better
load control is possible when a positive means of introducing outside air
is available.
.
On the small, air cooled room units, it has been found practicable to con-; trol the air in such a way as to permit variation from all recirculated air to 100 per cent outside air. An added feature is a dampering arrangement whereby it is possible to exhaust air from the room to remove smoke and generally ventilate the space.
A code4 sponsored by a Joint Committee of the A.S.H.V.E. and the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers may be consulted, although it should be realized that individual applications may often show a need for ventilation in excess of these minimum requirements.
Types of Units _
Unit air conditioners fall into two general classifications, depending on the location of the refrigeration source. Those units having the con densing unit completely enclosed in the same cabinet as the evaporator are known as self-contained types, while those units having the condensing unit remotely located from the evaporator and requiring piping of refrigerant from the condensing unit to the evaporator and return are known as remote types.
Self-contained units are further divided into two groups in accordance
with their condensing mediums, being either air-cooled or water-cooled.
Evaporative cooled types are included in this latter class.
.
The air-cooled types are small in capacity, ranging from to lj^ hp.
Their principal application is for conditioning such spaces as hotel rooms,
offices and residential living quarters. A duct connection between the
unit and an outside window or ventilated air shaft is required to permit
disposal of the heat extracted from the conditioned area. The unit may
stand in front of the window or be mounted on the window sill. Various
styles and types of windows are encountered which increase the difficulty
of making the window connections. The evaporation of condensate on
the condenser coils, as a means of disposing of this moisture, tends to
increase the condensing capacity and reduce the operating head pressure.
Some units add supplementary water so that increased capacity may be
obtained from constantly wetted condenser coil surface. Connections to
an electrical outlet may be by means of a conventional cord and plug or a
permanent electrical connection, depending on local code rulings per
taining to the installation of small motors. The exterior finish of the unit
in metal, wood or fabric is decorated to harmonize with office or bed
room furnishings.

air from the-room, in addition to introducing outside air and recirculating required amounts of air. It is possible to remove the equipment for winter storage or utilize the ventilating features for winter operation. ,
Water or evaporative-cooled units start at 1 hp in size and may be as
large as 30 hp. Condensers requiring water use either city water, well
. water or recirculating water from a cooling tower. Evaporative con
densers are seldom used on units under 5 hp.

heating and-ventilating. Refinements of dust and odor control and constant temperatureand' humidity . regulation ; are considered to. be
special application problems with this type of equipment.
A typical unit with - water-cooled condenser is illustrated in Fig. 2. The header arrangement permits air'distribution in several directions, and in such a way as not to fall on the room occupants. All side panels are removable for complete access to-equipment. It is only necessary to bring water, drain and electrical servfce to the unit, and a source of heat
if desired. .

Remote type units cover a much broader range of size and application and generally are used in connection with or .in lieu of a central plant

fan attached to the motor shaft.
\
The smaller water-cooled units have somewhat the same application as the air-cooled units. Water and drain facilities must be available and, although window connections are not required for heat disposal, it is desirable to have an outside , air connection for ventilation purposes. Electrical wiring is generally, permanently connected.
Up to 7]/2 or 10 hp in size the units are usually styled for locating
directly in the conditioned area. Above this size the tendency is to
locate the equipment adjacent to the conditioned area, with supply and
return duct connections. Compressor compartment heat is removed by
the same methods described previously.

., On water units of the vertical type of 5 hp and under, use is- made of
air distributor headers, equipped with directional louvers, on one or more
sides, for discharging the air directly into the conditioned space in which
the unit is located. Above 5 hp this method usually becomes impractical
and a system of ducts is employed. Arrangements for outside air supply
. are similar to those , in central plant design, although simpler, hand
operated dampers are usually employed.

' Without the weight of the refrigerating equipment, these units may
be suspended from roofs or ceilings, or located wherever space permits
on roofs and in basements, or in the conditioned area itself. All .
combinations of filtering, humidification, cooling and heating may , be
employed, with control as elaborate or as simple/as . is required. The
remote unit is particularly adaptable where a variety of application con
ditions- is to be met from a single source of refrigeration, such as the
modern industrial plant which may. nave a laboratory, executive offices,
a cafeteria, together with various processing departments.-
./
The cooling and heating mediums, consisting of a refrigerant, chilled water or brine, and steam or hot water, are piped to the units, and transfer takes place by means of coils, or in the case of air washers, by means of water or brine sprays in the air stream, or a combination ,of the two.. .

A spray type remote unit is illustrated by Fig. 5. Many designers prefer the air washing and coil wetting features. Air is circulated by means of attached or built-in fans, delivering the conditioned air through a system of ducts, which include outside air connections if desired.
. Some types of units, mostly those suitable for suspension, employ a propeller fan such as in Fig. 6. These are located in the conditioned area, are without ducts and seldom do more than cool and dehumidify, since the propeller fan is not designed* to move air against high pressure. Generally these units are provided with a lint screen instead of filters to limit resistance to air flow.
Individual floor mounted type remote units are available for use in
offices or hotel rooms. Similar in appearance but somewhat smaller in
size than the self-contained room unit, this form of equipment may be

.
. 3. Non-mechanical type containing coils, using air ejected under pressure from a
remote source for inducing circulation over coils '(see Chapter 43). Manual or auto
matic control of air temperature only is provided. Both summer and winter air con
ditioning functions may be performed by the one unit.
'
One coil for cooling and heating may be provided or a single coil used, through which hot water in winter and cold water in summer is circulated.' All three types of systems require remote sources of refrigeration, with' the first group obtaining outside air from the window, the second group having no outside air unless used in connection - with a central plant or ventilating system and in the case of the third group, all. air delivered under pressure is outside air.
Various combinations or alterations of these room units are available.
Different filtering,- humidifying and air delivery methods are employed,
to achieve the desired conditions. A typical remote floor type room unit

tion, heating and drainage; and accessibility of equipment and system"
for maintenance.
Where units are' placed within the conditioned area, particular atten tion must be given to air distribution, sources of outside air and con venience to service sources and facilities previously noted. Skill and ingenuity are required to produce a neat appearing, inconspicuous job ' without sacrificing, quality from an engineering point of view. This may , be accomplished by building the units into the woodwork or walls, and refinishing them to match existing furniture and fixtures. Where location of equipment outside of conditioned space is possible, use may be made, of storage rooms, halls, basements or any space less valuable than that to be conditioned. Less emphasis need be placed on the appearance of
equipment.
.
. ..
The choice of equipment location is frequently influenced by the
relative cost of long runs of insulated ducts required in order to locate
units near refrigeration sources, as compared with short duct runs but
long extensions of service facilities. Gare must be taken that equipment
` will not be damaged by climatic conditions.
--
Air distribution from units located within the conditioned area is by means of grilles, either fixed or adjustable and mounted in air distribution. headers, either furnished with the unit or constructed-at the installation to meet the needs of the application under .consideration. A system of ducts and distribution grilles.may also be used, similar to the arrangement.

, used when equipment is outside of the conditioned area. The problem of securing a supply of outside air is often a difficult'one. The proper design of ducts is of major importance for good air distribution. Chapters 40 and 41. are ^devoted to these subjects.
In the analysis of any large structure to be air conditioned which is . divided into small spaces, such as an office building or hotel, a comparison should be drawn between the use of units and a central plant system. This study is one of economics, and should include, such factors as first cost, installation costs, obsolescence, depreciation, maintenance costs, return on investment, flexibility, time of installation and possible loss of useful space during installation.
This same , analysis should be extended to include a comparison of remote units with self-contained units. Self-contained units, are possible where short term leases are involved, or where wiring can readily be brought to location or where existing water and drain facilities are adequate to handle the increased demand of water-cooled models.

the other hand, remote type room units contain less mechanical ma
' chinery, avoid the operating cost penalty of an air-cooled condenser, as
in the.case of the self-contained, air-cooled room units, and seldom require
heavy wiring to handle the fan load. In general, the smaller remote units
are more suitable for use with new: construction, where the units will
probably remain during their useful life. This condition may change
where larger, ceiling mounted units are compared with the floor mounted
self-contained units. Controls are essential in unit application and range
from the simple snap switch of a room unit to elaborate means of control-
ling temperature, humidity and air movement in laboratory and testing
room application: The criterion of a well controlled, installation is one
which has neither too few nor too many controls. (See Chapter 34.)
With the expansion of cities during the past decade, the problem of water supply has become a costly and ever present problem6. Con sequently, laws are appearing designed to restrict the usage of water wherever possible, particularly when substitute means are available. . Evaporative condensers and cooling towers (described in Chapters 37 and 39) are means devised to save large quantities of water in this connection.-

There are two codes governing the rating and testing of unit air con-, ditioners. The .first code, Standard Method of Rating-and Testing Air Conditioning Equipment *, covers all types of air conditioning units except the self-contained type. The latter is covered by the second, code, The, Standard Method of Rating and Testing Self-Contained Air Conditioning Units for Comfort Cooling *. The two codes are necessary because of the
basic difference caused by the heat given,up by the self-contained, units.
636
CHAPTER 36
1946 Guide-
The standard rating conditions for self-contained unit air conditioners,
as given in the code, are set forth in Table 1.
.
'
The standard rating of a self-contained unit for the conditions specified in Table 1 includes all items which apply to the function of a unit as: (1) name of unit, (2) functions which unit performs, (3) data on cooling, (4) data on heating, (5) data on air flow, and (6) data on humidification.
' The standard rating conditions for unit air conditioners. Other than the
self-contained type, are identical to those in Table 1 except the entering V wet-bulb temperature for cooling is expressed as 50 per cent relative humidity (66.7 F wet-bulb) instead of 67 F wet-bulb temperature. In i. addition, the saturated suction refrigerant temperature for comfort cooling is specified at 40 F. This condition is omitted from Table 1 for *.

coils, the designer is able to produce a wide range of performances and to
offer many desirable features not obtainable with the coil and bunker
method. More uniform temperatures, high relative humidity, moderate
first cost and a minimum of installation expense are likewise factors in
their development.
. - ._
New uses have appeared for unit air cooler application in industrial and
commercial processes involving both the raw materials and finished
product, where the maintenance of low temperatures is a necessary part
of these processes. Of particular interest is the new field, of extreme low
self-contained units as immaterial in the rating of a unit that includes the evaporator and condensing unit.
UNIT AIR COOLERS
This type of unit is primarily intended to perform the main function of
cooling air, with humidity control a secondary function within the limita-.
tions of the design, The main application of this equipment is in process
and product refrigeration such as cold storage warehousing, fruit and
vegetable packing, in breweriespand in wholesale and retail food market's;
although some comfort cooling may be obtained by' the use of a unit
similar in design to this type of unit as previously explained and as
illustrated by Fig. 6.
' \
.
. 'Application of the unit method of air cooling with mechanical circu
lation is comparatively recent, being an improvement over the pipe or
finned coil, which depended on gravity for circulation. Bunkers were
sometimes constructed around the coils to direct the air flow- and some
times fans were used for forcing air over the coils. The location of the
unit air cooler is usually within the refrigerated area, but the larger,
blower type models may be remotely located.
.
Design and Performance

,
Greater application and use of commercial refrigeration have resulted from the'development of the unit air cooler: Flexibility of design has permitted almost any condition to be met.

found.
,
Types of Units
.
The two standard types are the suspended or ceiling type, and the
vertical or floor mounted type. There are variations of this such as the
panel type which is wall mounted and arranged to take in air from the
. lower section and discharge it from the upper section.
.
The ceiling type has the appearance of a unit heater, with its propeller type fan blowing air through a bank of coils as shown in Fig. 8. Singly or in combination, they are easily installed and occupy little or no useful space. Alterations may be accomplished with little cost by relocating - units or adding additional ones for increased capacity.
The floor mounted types employ blower type fans, as their air deliveries are higher and their locations may be remote from the space to be refrig erated. This type of unit is illustrated by Fig. 9. Air velocities and volumes must be designed for the individual application. This type of unit may employ a pump to spray a eutectic solution over the coils for the purpose of avoiding frosting as shown in Fig. 10.

In order to rate and test equipment of this kind which normally operates below the frost line, a proposed code.

consideration the effect of frost formation on the coils and the change

' Defrosting
-.
Unit air coolers are often required to operate in rooms where air and refrigerant temperatures are below the freezing point. This results in the
freezing of the condensation on the coils and this accumulation of frost. - builds up to such an extent that there is a loss of capacity. This deposit -
is removed from the coils by the process known as defrosting which may be accomplished by several methods:
1. Where the room temperature is above the freezing point, the flow of refrigeration ` to the coils is halted and the fan continued in operation until the coils are defrosted.
. 2. The hot gas defrosting method is accomplished by a valving arrangement whereby
., hot compressed gases from the compressor are pumped directly into the evaporator,
, This operation is continueduntil defrosting is complete, when the system is returned
- to normal operation.
.
.
.. ,,

3. Where brine is used as a refrigerant, hot brine may be circulated .through the coils.
.
. Where the frosting is particularly heavy it is sometimes more advisable
to apply the source of heat externally. This principle of defrosting is
accomplished by:

' 4. Defrosting by warm air is accomplished by dampering arrangements which permit .
the cooler fan to draw warmair from a source outside of the refrigerated space', pass it
over the coils and discharge it outside of the refrigerated space.

5. Constant wetting of the coils with' a brine or eutectic solution prevents the for-, mation of frost. This is accomplished on a vertical unit air cooler as shown, in Fig. 10. -

charge when dilution has rendered it ineffective. . Another method
employs a device which boils off the water and returns the eutectic
solution to the system for further use.
.
ECONOMICS
In the planning and designing of a unit system or in comparing units with central plant application, a systematic approach to the problem should be made from the economic viewpoint.
First Costs. The question of first cost is but one factor in the economic approach of a skillful designer or an intelligent buyer.
-
1. Equipment. The use of a large percentage of factory fabricated equipment to
maintain installation costs at a minimum, as represented by self-contained units, should
be contrasted with the use of systems with a large percentage of installation labor and
material, such as a central station system. The remote unit offers a compromise between
these two.-
. . .
.
2. Installation costs. The influence of existing codes and ordinances, and installation -
conditions, involving new construction or treating an existing structure deserve careful :
consideration. Methods which are suitable for new construction often may not be '
applied on buildings erected in the past. Sprinkler system rearrangements, fire doors
and dampers, restrictions on multiple direct expansion units, rewiring or increasing
service, cutting or reinforcing of ceilings and roofs are some items which should receive
attention in this respect. ..
..
;;
Operation and Maintenance. Tenants or occupants usually operate the
self-contained equipment, which also lends itself readily to contract
service for maintenance. Central plants require operating engineers in 1 ;
attendance who also frequently service the equipment. The remote
units require a combination of these two methods of operation with
maintenance by building personnel.
..
Water and power costs per season can be tabulated and compared for
the various systeriis arid an estimate of the costs of replacement material , .
such as filters, belts, oil, refrigerant and wearing parts should be included
on ari annual basis.
.
. . ,.
Such questions as obsolescence, depreciation and return on investment
are subjects for special study arid investigation. Due consideratiori
should be given to the value of resale of equipriierit arid its portability in the event'of removal to new. locations.
; .
ATTIC FANS
'.
- Attic fans are used during the warm months of the year to draw large
volumes of outside air through a house and offer a means of using the.
comparative coolness of outside evening and night air to lower the inside
temperature:
-
Because the low static pressures involved, are usually less than }/g in.^
of water, disc or propeller fans are generally used instead of the blower types. The fans should have quiet operating characteristics, and they,
should be capable of giving,about 20 to 30 air changes per hour in northern
areas. In the South the usual specification requires one air change per minute which provides appreciable air movement in addition to lowering
the inside air temperaturese.

attic, permitting air to flow from the hall below. . Outdoor air, which
enters the house through open windows, is drawn into the attic through
the grilles, and is discharged outside by the fan. An attic stairway may
be used in place of the grilles. It is essential that the roof and the attic
walls be free from air leaks.
.
Boxed-in fans are units in which the fan is installed within the attic in' a box or housing directly over a central ceiling grille, or in a bulkhead enclosing an attic stair. The fan may be connected by a duct system to the grilles in individual rooms. Outdoor air entering through the windows of the rooms below is discharged into the attic space and escapes to the outside through louvers, dormer windows, or screened openings under the eaves.
Another version of the attic fan is the window fan for use when attic
application is not feasible or no attic is available. Supplied with a
perforated or expanded metal enclosure and mounted in either the upper
or lower window section, this fan is easy to install or move to another
location. .
.
The locations of the fan, the outlet openings, and grilles should'be selected after consideration of the room and attic arrangements in order to give uniform air distribution in the individual rooms served. If the outlet for the air is not on the side away from the' direction of the pre vailing wind as in the case of the boxed-in fan, openings should be provided on all sides. Kitchens should be separately ventilated because of the fire hazard, and to prevent the spread of cooking odors.
The window fan may be located in a hall or an unused bedroom. Noise
of operation is more of a problem with the window fan than with the attic
type, although care should be taken to locate either type of fan so that
occupants are not disturbed.
.' ,
These fans range in capacity from 3000 to 30,000 cfm.' The window type usually does not exceed 8000 cfm, while the most generally used attic type ranges from 8000 to 16,000 cfm. Power consumption is under 50 watts an hour per 1000 cfm of rated output for the 8000 cfm fan and larger while the watts input for smaller. fans is greater than this figure. Improved results can be secured with the window fan by closing off parts of the house where ventilation is not desired. .

AIR humidification is effected by the vaporization of water and always requires heat from some source. This heat may be added to the water prior to the time vaporization occurs or it may be secured by a transformation of sensible heat of the air being humidified to latent heat , as the vapor is added to the air. The thermodynamics of the process are discussed in Chapter 3. The removal of moisture from air may or may not involve the removal of heat from the air-vapor mixture. With spray equipment dehumidification of air always necessitates the removal of heat.
AIR WASHERS
Air washers may be used as either humidifiers or 'dehumidifiers de pending upon the method of operation and the temperature of the spray water. The functions of an air washer are to regulate the moisture and heat content of air passing through it and, although not so effective as .
air filters, to remove dust and dirt from the air.
The construction of commercial air washers is indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. Any air washer consists essentially of a chamber through which the air
passes in intimate contact with water. The lower portion of the washer
chamber serves as a sump for the spray water.
'
Contact between the air and the washer water is secured: (1) by breaking the water into a very fine mist, (2) by passing the air over:
surfaces which are continuously wetted by water, or (3) by a combination
of water sprays and wetted plates. Scrubber-plate types of washers are used largely to wash, heavy reclaimable products from the air, and are generally composed of one to three eliminator-type baffle scrubber plates across the air stream. Water is supplied at the tops of the scrubber plates by flooding nozzles placed across the top of the washer. Spray washers ,
have one or more banks of water atomizing nozzles placed in the air
stream above the level of the water in the sump. The direction of the
water sprays may be against the air stream, with the air stream, or with one bank spraying with the air stream and one against it: The number of ' nozzles required depends upon their design, the quantity of air handled,
and the arrangement of the nozzles. .
.. . `
.
Scrubbers generally consist of eliminator-type baffle plates placed in

"washer chambers should have inlet diffuser plates to aid in producing `
more uniform air flow through the washer spray chamber. These inlet vanes-also aid in preventing spray water from being thrown into the air duct ahead of the washer. However, if the water spray opposes the air
flow, the ordinary perforated'diffuser plate is not sufficient, and specially designed eliminator baffles must be used to prevent spray from passing into the air inlet duct. At the outlet end of the washer suitable flooded /

eliminator plates, which will cause from 4 to 6 reversals of the direction of air flow, should be installed for the purpose of removing drops of unvaporized water from the leaving air. If the air contains certain substances which may cause the spray water to become acidulated, corrosion resistant materials must be used in the washer construction.
Essential items in air washer operation are: uniform distribution of the air across the chamber section above the level of the water in the sump; moderate velocities of ur flow, 300 to 600 fpm in the spray cham ber; an adequate amount of spray water broken up into a fine mist throughout lie air stream; sufficient length of air travel through the
water spray and over thoroughly w.etted surfaces; and the elimination of
free moisture from the air as it leaves t,he unit.

-Fie. 1. Typical Single-Bank Air Washer Fig! 2. Typical Two-Bank Air Washer
Washers are sometimes arranged in two or more stages to cool through long ranges or to increase the over-all efficiency of heat transfer between the air and the heating or cooling medium. A'multi-stage washer is ' equivalent to a number of washers in a series arrangement.
Usually the catalog capacity of a washer is expressed in cubic feet of
air per minute and is based upon an air velocity of 500 fpm through the
gross inlet area of the unit. At this rating spray type washers handle
about 2% gpm of water per bank per square foot of area, that is, about
5 gpm per bank per 1000 cfm. These proportions of air, water, area, and
velocity may be departed from to meet the needs of some particular job,
but certain limiting relationships should be observed. .
For' a single-stage air washer, a 15 deg drop in dry-bulb temperature
of the air passing through the washer is about the maximum that should
be anticipated. For greater decrease in dry-bulb temperature, multi
stage washers should be utilized.' A rise of. 6 deg should be the calcu
lated maximum for the spray water. ;
.
.
.Spray Apparatus
643
The width and height of a washer may be dictated by space limitations outside the washer, such as headroom, or by the inside space requirements, . such as face area needed by a bank of cooling- coils. The length of a washer is determined by the. number of spray banks, or scrubber plates, and if cooling coils are installed in the unit, by the number of banks of coils. Roughly; a spray space of about 2 ft 6 in. in length is required for each bank of sprays; i.e., 1 ft for entering and 1 ft 6 in. for leaving.
The resistance to air flow through an air washer varies with the type of
eliminators, number of banks of sprays, direction of spray, air velocity,
type of scrubber plates, and size and type of cooling coils if located in the
washer. Manufacturers should be consulted to obtain the resistance for
a particular installation.
,
HUMIDIFICATION WITH AIR WASHER
Air humidification can be accomplished in three ways with an air
washer. These are: (1) use of recirculated spray water, without prior treatment of the air, (2) preheating the air and washing it with recircu
lated spray water, and (3) using heated spray water. In any air washing
installation the air should not enter the washer with a dry-bulb tempera ture less than 35 F in order to eliminate danger of freezing the spray water.
Method 1. Except for the small amount of energy added from outside
by the recirculating pump in the form of shaft work, and for the small amount of heat leak from outside into the apparatus, including the pump
and its connecting piping, the process would be strictly adiabatic.' Evaporation from the liquid spray would therefore be expected to bring the air immediately in contact with it to saturation adiabatically; and,
since the liquid is recirculated, its temperature, would be expected to . adjust to the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature of the entering air.
It does not follow from the foregoing reasoning that the whole air stream is brought to complete saturation, but merely that its state point should move, along a line of constant thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature as explained in Chapter 3. The extent to which the final temperature
. approaches the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature of the entering air, or the extent to which complete saturation is approached is conveniently
expressed by a ratio known as humidifying effectiveness or. saturating
effectiveness and is defined:
--

velocity of air flow through the water sprays, and the time of the contact of the air with-the spray water! Other conditions being the same, low velocity of air flow is more conducive to higher humidifying effectiveness.
The air leaving the washer may require reheating to produce the required dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity.
Method 2. The preheating of the air increases both the dry- and wet-
bulb temperatures, lowers the relative humidity, but does not alter the
humidity ratio (pound water vapor per pound dry air). At a higher wet-
bulb temperature but the same humidity ratio, more water can be absorb
ed per pound of dry air in passing through the washer; assuming that the
humidifying effectiveness of the washer is not adversely affected by opera
tion at the higher wet-bulb temperature. The analysis of the process
occurring in the washer itself is the same as that explained under Method 1.
The final desired conditions are secured by adjusting the-amount of pre
heating. to give the required wet-bulb temperature at entrance: to the
washer and then reheating the outlet air when necessary.
.
Method 3. Evert if heat is added to the spray water, the mixing occur ring in the washer itself may still be regarded as adiabatic. The state point of the mixture should move in a direction determined by the specific enthalpy of the heated spray as explained in Chapter 3. By elevating the water temperature it.should be possible to saturate the air and even raise its temperature above the dry-bulb temperature of the entering air.
APPARATUS FOR DIRECT HUMIDIFICATION
Humidifiers may be divided, into the following general types, according to the method of operation: (I) indirect, such as the air washer, which introduces moistened air; and (2) direct, which sprays moisture into the room or introduces moisture by means of steam jets.
As in the cases'of humidification by use of an air washer, the heat
necessary for the vaporization of the moisture added to the air by direct
humidification is secured either from heat stored in the spray water or by
a transformation of sensible to latent heat in the air humidified. In' the
latter case the enthalpy of the air remains constant but the dry-bulb
temperature of the air is reduced. . :
.
Direct humidification is usually preferable where high relative humidi ties must be maintained, but where there is little cooling or ventilation required. In comfort air conditioning, where both humidification and ventilation are required, the indirect humidifier is preferable. In indus trial applications, where the cooling or ventilation load is large and where very high relative humidities must be maintained, a combined system employing both direct and indirect humidifiers is sometimes used.
Spray Generation
..
Spray generation is obtained by (!) . atomization, (2) impact, (3) hydraulic separation,- and (4) mechanical separation.
Atomization involves the use of a compressed air jet to reduce the water particles to a fine spray. With the impact. method, a jet of water under pressure impinges directly on the end of a small round wire. Where hydraulic separation is employed, a jet of water enters a cylindrical chamber and escapes through an axial port with a. rapid rotation which causes it immediately to separate in a fine cone-shaped spray. In the mechanical separation process, .water is thrown by centrifugal force from the surface of a rapidly revolving disc and separates into particles suf ficiently small to be utilized in certain, types of mechanical humidifiers.
Spray Apparatus
645
Spray Distribution '
'.
Spray distribution is obtained by (1) air jet, (2) induction, and (3) fan
propulsion.
.
The air jet which generates the spray in atomizers also carries the spray through a space sufficient for its distribution and evaporation, and this method of distribution is termed air jet. Where distribution is obtained
by induction, the aspirating effect of an impact or centrifugal spray jet is
utilized to induce a current of air to flow through a duct or casing, and
this air current distributes the spray. Fan propulsion obviously consists
of the utilization of fans to entrain and distribute the spray.
Industrial type direct humidifiers are commonly classified as (1) atomizing, (2) high-duty, (3) spray and (4) self-contained or centrifugal.
Atomizing Humidifiers
There are several types of atomizing humidifiers, all of which rely upon compressed air as the atomizing and distributing agency, similar to the familiar method used in ordinary nasal atomizers. Compressed air, (ordinarily about 30 lb per square inch) is supplied from a centrallylocated air compressor through pipe lines to the atomizing units. The air lines are usually horizontal and parallel to water lines which supply water by gravity from a float tank. The water in the tank is maintained at a constant level slightly lower than the outlets of the atomizers them selves and is drawn constantly to the atomizer by aspiration when com pressed air is supplied. This aspiration ceases and the flow of water stops when the air supply is cut off. The water should not be supplied under pressure to atomizers because of the possibility of leakage, drip, or coarse spray. These cannot occur when water is supplied by aspiration.
High-Duty Humidifiers
' Water is supplied to high-duty humidifiers under high pressure (usually ' about 150 lb per square inch) through pipe lines from a centrally-located pumping unit.' The spray-generating nozzle which is of the impact type is located in a cylindrical casing. A drainage pan provides for the collec tion and return of unevaporated water which flows through a return pipe to a filter tank, from which it is recirculated. A powerful air current is forced through the humidifier by means of a fan mounted above the unit.
The air. enters from above, is drawn through the head, charged with moisture, and cooled. It then escapes from the opening below at a high velocity in a complete and nearly horizontal circle. The spray is evapor ated and the resulting vapor diffused. This distribution of fine spray over the maximum possible area promotes complete and rapid vaporization.
Spray' Humidifiers .
This type of humidifier consists of an impact spray nozzle in a cylin
drical casing with a drainage pan below it. The aspirating effect of the
spray nozzle induces a moderate air current through the casing which
distributes the entrained spray. The general method of circulating and
returning the water is similar to that.employed for high-duty humidifiers.
A suitable pump and centrally-located filter tank are required. .
:
Self-Contained Humidifiers
.
The self-contained or centrifugal humidifier has the ability to generate
and distribute spray without the use of air compressors, pumps, or other. auxiliaries. These may be used either singly or in groups. In large installations,. where suitable connections are provided to permit the

AIR DEHUMIDIFICATION WITH WASHERS
;
Moisture removal from an air-vapor mixture can be accomplished by
use of an air washer so long as the temperature of the spray medium is-
lower than the dew-point of the air passing through the unit. The final;
dry-bulb temperature and the relative humidity of the air leaving a-
dehumidifier washer are dependent upon: the air velocity, the length of
air travel through the sprays, the dry- and wet-bulb temperatures of the;
entering air, the spray temperature, the number of spray banks and
nozzles, the quantity of spray medium handled, and the effectiveness of
the nozzles in breaking the spray into a fine mist.
:
Both sensible and latent heat are removed in the process of dehumidi
fication by cooling. Abstraction of sensible heat occurs during the entire
time that the air is in contact with the spray -medium. Latent heat, .
removal takes place as condensation occurs. Therefore, the lower the.
spray temperature the greater the amount of moisture removal per pound
of dry air, all other conditions remaining the same. Washers with two or
more banks of sprays are usually selected for comfort air conditioning
installations. Such washers will cool the air to within 1 or 2 F of the'-
leaving spray water temperature.
;
Where a limited supply of cold water is available multiple stage washers may be used to an advantage. The cool water is pumped through -the multiple spray systems in series. By this arrangement the entering air is cooled first by the warmer water and finally by the cooler water' which gives the maximum amount, of cooling with the minimum amount ', of water; The approximate temperatures of water from wells at depths . of 30 to 60 ft are given in Fig 3 *. Frequently the temperature of the city water main supply is low enough during the summer to permit an ap preciable cooling effect. Table 1 lists the maximum city water main temperatures for various localities in the United States and Canada.
Air washers using refrigerated spray generally have their own recircu-, lating pumps. These pumps deliver to the sprays a mixture of water from the washer sump, which has not been re-cooled, and refrigerated, water. The quantities of each are controlled by a three-way or mixing valve actuated by a dew-point thermostat located in the washer air outlet , or by humidity controllers located in the conditioned space.
ATMOSPHERIC WATER COOLING EQUIPMENT
.In the operation of a refrigerating plant or a condensing turbine, one of the main problems is the removal and dissipation of heat from the compressed refrigerant or the discharged steam. This is accomplished' ordinarily by first transferring the heat of the gas to water in a heat exchanger, from which water it may then be dissipated in a number of ways. If the plant is situated on the banks of a river or lake, an intake may be taken up-stream or at a considerable distance from the discharge, to prevent mixing of the heated discharged water with the inlet water. If the source of cooling water is a city supply or a well, the discharge water may be run into the nearest sewer or open waterway. Lackingan unlimited water supply, or in cases where purchased water is too expensive or where the water available contains dissolved salts which would form scale on the heat-exchanging apparatus, it is necessary to recirculate the water, and to cool it after each passage through the heat-

exchanger by exposure to air in an atmospheric water cooling apparatus.
Air has a capacity for absorbing heat from water when the wet-bulb temperature of the air is lower than the temperature of the water with which it is in contact. . The rapidity with which this transfer of heat occurs depends upon (1) the area of water in contact with the air, (2) the relative velocity of the air and water, and (3) the difference between the wet-bulb temperature of the air and the temperature of the water. The rate of heat dissipation is influenced further by many small factors2 prevailing upon these primary ones, and complicating the design. Selection of equipment for any specified service must ultimately rest in over-all economic considerations established from reliable performance data.
As the heat content of the air increases, its wet-bulb temperature rises. (See Chapter 3.) Because it is impracticable to leave the air in contact with water for a long enough time to permit the wet-bulb temperature of the air and the temperature of the water to reach equilibrium, atmos pheric water cooling equipment aims to circulate only enough air to cool the water to the desired temperature with the least expenditure of power.
In an air washer, humidifier or dehumidifier, the air is first conditioned by water to change its moisture and temperature, and it is then sent to the place where it is to be used. In water cooling equipment the tem perature of the water is reduced by air, and the cooled water is carried to its point of usage. In the air washer, an excess of water is used to con dition a fixed quantity of air, while.in water cooling equipment, an excess of air is used to cool a fixed quantity of water.
Both types of equipment have a common, basis of design in that the size of the equipment is determined by the quantity of air to be handled. With the air washer, the size of the equipment is fixed by the quantity of air to be conditioned, and the amount of conditioning is controlled by the quantity and temperature of the water supplied and its method of application. With water cooling apparatus, its size and the quantity ofair required bear no direct relation to the quantity of water being cooled, but vary through a wide range for different services and conditions.
Selection of Water Cooling Equipment
.
The proper size and type of water cooling equipment for a given instal lation cannot be determined accurately without considering the character istics of all types, together with all requirement factors and other matters .which influence the selection. Very few installations are exactly alike in details of requirements, and conditions governing performance and opera tion of the several types of water cooling equipment vary widely with geographical location as well as other considerations. It necessarily holds, therefore, that requirement factors and equipment characteristics are closely interlocked and deserve careful study as a related whole. ,
Before the characteristics of a specific water cooling apparatus can be judged desirable or undesirable the survey must conclude definitely the importance of each of the following items: first cost including all necessary, auxiliaries, area, height, weight, effect of wind velocity and direction, drift nuisance, make-up water requirements and cost of chemical treat ment if needed, total power for pumping (plus fan operation in the case of mechanical draft), maintenance, available locations (with due thought, to possible future expansion, wind restrictions, space cost, proximity and accessibility, etc.), appearance, the equipment's operating flexibility for . most economical conformance to varying loads or seasonal changes, and other considerations occurring with regard to a specific application.
650
CHAPTER 37

Sizes of Equipment
.
. .
'
,
Assuming a definite quantity of water, the size and design of atmospheric cooling equipment are affected by the following primary conditions:
1. -Temperature range through which the water must be cooled.
2. Number of degrees above the wet-bulb temperature of the entering air to which the water temperature must be reduced.
3. Temperature of the atmospheric wet-bulb at which the required cooling must be
performed.
'
4. Time of contact of the air with the water. (This involves height or length of the apparatus and velocity of air.)
5. Surface of water exposed to each unit quantity of air.
6. Relative velocity of air and water.
.
- Items 1, 2, and 3 are established by the type of service and geographical ' location, while items 4, 5, and 6 depend upon the design of the equipment.
The establishment of a proper cooling range depends upon: (1) type of service (refrigerating, internal combustion engine and steam condens ing). (2) wet-bulb temperature at which the equipment must operatesatisfactorily, (3) type of condenser or heat-exchanger used.
' Because the design of an entire plant is usually affected by the quantity .
and temperature of the cooling water supply, plants should be designed
for cooling water conditions which can be most efficiently attained. The
first consideration is usually the limiting temperature of the plant. For
example, if an ammonia compressor refrigerating plant is to be designed
for 185 psi head pressure as a normal maximum, the limiting temperature
of the ammonia in the condenser is 96 F. Should the ammonia tempera
ture go above this figure the head pressure will exceed 185 psi and power'
consumption increases. To obtain this head pressure, the temperature of
the circulating water leaving the condenser must always be less than 96 F
by an amount depending upon the size and design, of the condenser, the
quantity of water being circulated, and the refrigerating tonnage being
produced. A condenser having a large surface per ton- of refrigeration
may be designed to operate satisfactorily with the-leaving hot water,
temperature within 3 or 4 deg of the ammonia temperature corresponding
to the head pressure, while a small condenser might require a 10 deg .
difference.
' ..
Table 2 lists several gases with data as to the temperatures and pres- ,. sures for which commercial condensers are designed. Internal combustion engines have limiting hot water temperatures of 125 F to 140 F for closed .

systems, and 110 F to 120 F for open systems,depending upon the quality
of the cooling water. The cooling of such fluids as milk or wort has
variable requirements and is usually done in counter-flow heat-exchangers
in which' the leaving circulating water is at a much higher temperature
than is the leaving fluid.
V
The temperature range, once the hot water temperature is approxi mately known, depends upon: (1) the maximum wet-bulb temperature, at which the full quantity of heat must be dissipated, and (2) the effici ency of the atmospheric cooling equipment considered.
Design Wet-Bulb Temperatures
The maximum wet-bulb temperature at which the full quantity of
water must be cooled through the entire range is never, in commercial
design, the maximum wet-bulb temperature ever known to exist at the
location nor the average wet-bulb temperature over any period. The
former basis jyould require atmospheric cooling equipment several times
greater than normal size, and the latter would result during a large part of
the time, in higher condenser water temperatures than those for which the
plant was designed. For instance, the maximum wet-bulb temperature
recorded in-New York City is 88 F, and the July noon average for 64
years is close to 68 F. Yet in the years 1925 to 1934, inclusive, there were
but 8 hours per year when the wet-bulb temperature reached 80 F or-more,
and there were 975 hours in the average summer (June to September
inclusive) when the wet-bulb temperature was ,68 F or above. As these
975 hours represent a third of the summer period, cooling equipment
based upon the noon average July wet-bulb of 68 F would be inadequate.
Commercial practice is to choose a wet-bulb temperature for air con
ditioning design purposes which is not exceeded during more than 5 to.
.8 per cent of the summer hours (75 F for New York City) with somewhat
lower requirements for steam turbines and. internal combustion engines.
This difference is made because the heaviest load on an air conditioning
plant is coincident with high wet-bulb temperatures, whereas the heaviest
electric power demand occurs either in the winter or after nightfall in
summer, when the wet-bulb temperature is low. Table 2, Chapter 15,
shows design wet-bulb temperatures which will not be exceeded more
than 8 per cent of the time in an average summer.
,
Knowing the hot'water temperature and the wet-bulb temperature for which the equipment must be designed, the cold water temperature must be chosen to place the requirement within the effectiveness range of the type of atmospheric water cooling apparatus to be used. This effective,ness is expressed as the percentage ratio of the actual cooling effect to the maximum possible cqoling effect. Since the wet-bulb temperature of the entering air is the equilibrium'temperature to which the water could be cooled, the effectiveness of water cooling apparatus can be indicated thus:
(hot water temperature -- cold water temperature) X 100 hot water temperature -- wet-bulb temperature of entering air '
Magnitudes of this effectiveness ratio will vary through wide limits in accordance with construction and conditions of operation. Values indi cative of the commercial range of the effectiveness ratio are given in Table 3, although unusual designs may operate outside these ranges.
From consideration of the factors which include the cooling range and design wet-bulb temperature, the quantity of water required can be
652
CHAPTER 37
1946 Guide
calculated from the amount of heat to be dissipated. The normal amounts of heat to be removed from various processes of the cooling equipment are:
Compressor Refrigeration: 220 to 270 Btu per (minute) (ton). Usual practice is to
assume: 250 Btu per (minute) (ton) which is equivalent to 30 gal per (Fahrenheit degree)
(minute) (ton).
'
Steam Turbine Condensers: 950 to 980 Btu per pound of steam. Usual practice is to
assume 970 Btu per pound of steam.
'
Steam Jet Refrigerating Condensers: 1030 to 1150 Btu per pound of steam. Exact
value depends upon initial steam conditions.
`.
. Diesel Engine Jackets: 2500 to 4000 Btu per bhp per hour. Usual practice is to ' assume 3500 Btu per bhp per hour.
Natural Gas or Gasoline Engines: 4500 to 6000 Btu per bhp per hour. Usual practice
is to assume 5000 Btu per bhp per hour.
`
Cooling Ponds
A natural pond is often used as a source of condensing water. The hot water should be discharged close to the surface at the shore line. ' Natural air movement over the surface of the water will cause evaporation and carry away heat. Because increased density due to the loss of heat causes the cooled water to sink to the bottom of the pond, the suction connection for intake water should be placed as far below the surface as possible, and at as great a distance from the discharge as practicable.
Spray. Cooling Ponds
The spray pond consists of a basin, above which nozzles are located to
spray water up into the air. Properly designed spray nozzles break up the
water into small drops, but not into a mist because the individual drops
must be heavy enough to fall back into the basin'and not drift away with
the air movement. The water surface exposed to the air for cooling is
the combined area of all the small drops. Since the rate of heat removal
by atmospheric water cooling is a function of the area of water exposed
to the air, the difference in temperature between the water and the wet-
bulb temperature of the air, the relative velocity of air and water, and'
the duration of contact of the air with the wafer, a much larger quantity
of heat may be dissipated in a given area with the spray pond than with
the cooling pond, because of (1) the speed with which the drops travel as
they are propelled into the air and fall back into the water basin, (2) the
increased wind velocity at a point above the surrounding structures or
terrain, (3) the increased volume of air used, and (4) the vastly increased
area of contact between air and water3.
'
. Spray pond effectiveness is increased by (1) elevating the nozzles to a higher point above the surface of the water in the basin, (2) increasing the spacing between nozzles of any one capacity, (3) using smaller capacity nozzles to decrease the concentration of water per unit area, and (4) using smaller nozzles and increasing the pressure to maintain the same concentration of water per unit area. Usual practice is to locate the

nozzles from 5 to 7 ft above the edge of the basin, to supply from 5 to
12 psi pressure at the nozzles, using nozzles spraying from 20 gpm to
60 gpm each and spacing them so the average water delivered to the'
surface of the pond is from 0.5 to 0.7 gpm per square foot. Best results
are obtained by placing the nozzles in a long relatively narrow area
located broadside to the wind.
:
Spray ponds may be located on the ground, or they may be placed on roofs. To prevent excessive drift loss, or the carrying of entrained water beyond the edge of the pond by the air on the leeward side, louver fences are required for roof locations and for those ground locations where space is so restricted that the outer nozzles cannot be located at least 20 ft to 25 ft from the edge of the basin. Such fences usually are con structed of horizontal louvers overlapping so the air is forced to turn a corner in passing through the fence, and the heavier drops of water are thrown back, owing to their inertia. The louvers also restrict the flow of air, particularly at the higher wind velocities, and thus further reduce the possibility of water being carried off. The height of an effective fence should be equal to the height of the spray cloud. Louver boards are preferably of red gulf cypress or California redwood supported on castiron, steel or wood posts. Where building ordinances forbid the use of combustible materials, sheet metal is customarily used.
Algae growths, during warm weather, in cooling towers and spray ponds may be eliminated while the plant is in operation by the use of potassium permanganate. This chemical can be dissolved at the rate of 1 lb in 1J4 to gal of hot water. About 10 parts of permanganate should be used per million parts of cooling water. Enough of the permanganate solution should be added periodically to cause the water to have a. pink color for a period of from 15 to 20 min. The best results are obtained when sufficient quantities are added periodically at intervals of several weeks, the time intervals being dependent upon local operating conditions. The chemical is non-poisonous and non-corrosive when used as directed.
Natural Draft Spray Type Towers
Where not more than 30,000 Btu per minute are to be dissipated, the natural draft spray type tower is a satisfactory apparatus. The word tower in this connection is somewhat of a misnomer as the apparatus is essentially a narrow spray pond with a high louver fence. As usually built, the nozzles spray down from the top of the structure and the distance from the center of the nozzle system to the fence on either side is not more than half the distance that the nozzles are elevated above the water basin. Heights range from 6 ft to 15 ft and the total width of a structure is not usually greater than its height. Spray towers occupy less space on small jobs than spray ponds of equivalent capacities because the towers have a capacity of from 0.6 gpm to 1.5 gpm per square foot of tower area. The wet louvers add to the surface exposed to the air.
Natural Draft Deck Type Towers
.
In past years much of the atmospheric water cooling on refrigeration work has been done with natural draft deck type towers, which are also referred to as wind or atmospheric towers. These towers consist of heavy wooden or steel framework from 20 to 40 ft high and from 10 to 20 ft wide, having open horizontal lattice-work platforms or decks at regular intervals from top to bottom, and a catch basin at the foot. The hot water is distributed over the upper part of the structure by means of troughs, splash heads, or nozzles, and it drips from deck to deck down to
654
CHAPTER 37
1946 Guide
. the basin. The object of the decks is to arrest the fall of the water so as to present efficient cooling surfaces to the air, which passes through the . tower parallel to the decks. The decks add to the area of water surface exposed to the air both by causing it to splash into fine droplets and to spread over the deck surfaces, but since some, deck designs furnish a resistance to air flow, too many decks may be a detriment.
To prevent the loss of water on the leeward side of the tower, wide splash boards are attached at' regular intervals from top to bottom. In some towers these boards or louvers extend outward and upward, usually with lower edge (which is attached to the frame of the tower) somewhat below the level of the outer and upper edge of the next louver board below it. Some louvering - designs add secondary louvering to these primary louvers. In such designs the primary louvers are generally broader and do not slope so sharply nor overlap one another. Since their function is merely to return to the interior of the tower the water caught by the secondary louvering which extends upward from each primary louver's outer edge to the next primary louver above. The individual slats which comprise the secondary louvering may be arranged either vertically in an overlapping staggered manner with air passage between, or set horizontally with their flat surfaces sloping inward and spaced so their edges over-reach but permit free air passage. Secondary louvering reduces drift loss on this type of tower materially. -
Efficiency of a deck tower is improved, within'limits, by increased height, increased length, or increased width. The first two increase the area of water exposed to the wind, and the latter increases the time of contact of the air with the water. Performance is best when the wind blows crosswise to the tower arid decreases with obliqueness of the angle ' until the effect of a lengthwise wind is virtually nil.
Wind Velocities on Natural Draft Equipment
Since natural air movement is the prime requirement for a deck type tower, spray cooling tower, or spray pond, the apparatus must be de. signed to produce the desired cooling at times when the wind velocity is below average, when the wet-bulb temperature is at the maximum chosen for design, and when the plant is operating at full load. The apparatus ' must also, for best results, be located with its longest axis at right angles . to. the direction of the prevailing hot weather breeze. Table 2, Chapter 15, - gives the average summer-wind velocities and directions in representative cities. Natural draft cooling equipment should be designed to operate . properly with not more than one-half ol the average -wind velocity, and in no case for a wind velocity of more than 5 mph. Natural draft equip ment must not be obstructed by trees, buildings, or other wind deflectors.
Mechanical Draft Towers
.
,
' ..
Mechanical draft towers usually consist of box-like shells, constructed of wood, metal, or masonry, in which water is distributed uniformly at the top and falls to a collecting basin at the bottom. The inside of the tower . may be filled with wood lattice work over which the water drips, or the water surface may be presented to the air by filling the entire.inside of the structure with spray from nozzles.
Air is drawn through the tower by induced draft fans or propelled through it by forced draft fans. Since the air flows at a constantly sustained and comparatively high velocity (by contrast-with natural draft equipment which varies in performance with'every change of. the wind's direction or velocity) the air and water are brought info contact
Spray Apparatus
655
under controlled conditions' resulting in more efficient transfer of heat from a given quantity of water into a,given volume of air. The least, possible operating cost is achieved by that tower design which delivers the desired performance for the lowest total power input, both to fans. for air movement and to pumps for raising and distributing the water.,-
The effectiveness of a mechanical draft tower is improved by increasing height, area, or air quantity. Increasing the height increases the length of time the air is in contact with the water without affecting seriously the fan power required, but it increases the' pumping power needed. In creasing the area while maintaining constant fan power increases the air quantity somewhat and because of lowered velocities it increases' the time this air is in contact with the water. The surface area, of water in contact with the air is increased in both cases. Increasing the air quantity decreases the time the air is in contact with the water, but, since a greater quantity is passing through, the average differential between the water temperature and the wet-bulb temperature of the air is increased, and this speeds up the heat transfer rate. Increased air quantities are obtained only at the expense of-increased fan power, which increases approximately as the cube of the air quantity. Air velocities through mechanical draft towers vary from 250 to 450 fpm over the gross area of the structure.
Mechanical draft water cooling equipment may be set up inside build ings, where it usually draws its air supply from the general space in which it is installed, and discharges its exhaust air through a duct to the outside. Indoor cooling towers may be either of the wood-filled or the spray-filled type. In many cases where little height but considerable area is available, water is cooled in a spray-filled structure similar to an air washer, with the air passing horizontally through the apparatus and being discharged through a duct to the outside.
Cooling Tower Design
The method of design of equipment for energy transfer from water to.
an air-water vapor mixture is similar to that used for absorption equip
ment. Details of this procedure are available * K 6 and its application to
the problem of the cooling tower operating at atmospheric pressure is

A section of a typical counter-flow tower is shown in Fig. 4. If the

The potential for net energy transfer due to heat and mass transfer from the water to the mixture in contact with it may be expressed with reasonable accuracy as the difference between the enthalpy- of saturated air at the water temperature, h", and the enthalpy of the main stream air vapor mixture7, ha. The rate of energy transfer is given by the expression:

combine to form a straight line (for L = constant) on the temperature
enthalpy diagram. The slope of this, operating line is: ,

. Since the heat capacity of water is approximately unity, this slope is the
ratio of the water to the air rate. Equation 3 indicates that the potential
for energy transfer at-any section is the difference between the enthalpy
of saturated air at the main-body water temperature at that .section and
the enthalpy of the air stream in contact with that.water. This potential
is the difference in the ordinates of the saturation and operating lines for
the water temperature at-the plane in the tower which is under con
. sideration.

The integration of the left side of Equation 5 determines the tower volume required to achieve the desired energy exchange. This summation is readily accomplished for counter and parallel flow arrangements. G and Ka are usually independent of the tower volume and Equation 5 then becornes:

Where NTU 'is defined as the Number of Transfer Units and is a measure of the. difficulty of the cooling process.
The integration is made numerically or graphically. In the graphical
integration ^ ^ is evaluated as a function of Aa. This determination
involves the use-of the-energy balance equation integrated from one section to the section in question. The area under the curve between any two abscissae is the number of transfer units required to change the air state from hi to hi.
An approximate value for the number of transfer units can also be determined by a simple graphical method of direct construction on the temperature enthalpy diagram8. This method cannot be applied very satisfactorily to cooling towers as the operating range is small and the value of the NTU is near unity.
When the relationship between the enthalpy of the saturated air and
the temperature is linear over the range of water temperatures involved,
it can be shown9 that the logarithmic mean of the terminal potentials,
himi is the correct- driving force. This is true to a good approximation
when the water cooling does not exceed 15 deg. The approximation to
linearity may be determined by inspection of Table 1, Chapter 3, or the
temperature enthalpy diagram of Fig. 5. If the logarithmic mean is a
valid potential. Equation 6 may be written:

and the need for the numerical integration for the determination of the
tower volume is eliminated.
,.
The over-all rate coefficient, Ka, must be known if the tower volume is to be determined. Experiments conducted on towers containing different packing'construction have yielded some magnitudes of this coefficient, evaluated on an over-all basis. These data are presented in Fig. 6 as a function of the gas mass velocity through the packing, and apply only to the particular packing structure for which they were obtained. The over-all rate coefficient (Ka) may also be a function of the water rate, since a reduction of the water rate may reduce the wetted area within the

exchanger6. The results included in Fig. 6 probably represent magnitudes of Ka which were obtained for complete wetting. Within the cooling tower operating range the over-all rate coefficient for energy transfer is nearly the same numerically as the over-all rate coefficient for mass trans fer. The conditions of test corresponding to the data presented in Fig. 6 are not well enough known in most cases to warrant recomputation of Ka. Therefore the magnitudes of the over-all rate coefficient for mass transfer presented in Fig. 6 may be used directly in Equations 5 and 6,

the units of Ka in these equations being Btu per (hour) (cubic foot per
pound of dry air).

Application of Design Procedure
'
' A typical procedure which may be followed in designing a cooling'tower, is illustrated in the following Example 1.
Example 1. The rate of air flow, arbitrarily assumed in the data given, is related to -
. the tower volume by economic considerations. A balance between air rate and-tower
volume rests on consideration of the costs of producing air flow and of the tower con-
struction10. A counter-flowjforced draft cooling tower is to cool 36,000 lb of water per
hour from an initial temperature of 110 F to a final temperature of 80 F. Air having
an initial condition of 65 F dry-bulb and 58 F wet-bulb temperature will be forced
through the tower counter to the direction of water flow at the rate of 30,000 lb of dry
air per hour.
'
The cross-section of the tower is to be 8 ft x 8 ft and the packing is to be of the type
producing a rate coefficient as indicated in curve No. 2 of Fig. 6. For this type of packing
the average cross-sectional area for air flow will be 36 sq ft.

The Number of Transfer Units required as determined by use of the logarithmic mean - ' driving potential equals 1.5 which compares favorably with the correct magnitude, 1.72.
A variation of the design method according to Equation 6 is further possible11 through the introduction of Equation 2 to yield
KaV L
(8)
The advantage of this form is in the fact that the left side of the equation may be dealt with as a thermodynamic function only, while the right side depends upon the tower construction and operation. A series of performance curves may be determined from a graphic evaluation of the. integral, which will serve either as a convenient means of analyzing experimental data to determine the conductance Ka, or as a rapid method
Spray Apparatus
661
of performance prediction, once the tower characteristic,--j--, is known.
These performance curves may be expressed in terms of the following
variables; approach to wet-bulb, cooling range, L/G, and wet-bulb
temperature of the entering air; and as such they will serve to accurately
cover the tower performance in consistent terms. ,
-
The application of the foregoing design method to atmospheric towers is difficult because rate coefficients and flow conditions are not yet well -defined for such equipment. If these are known, application of Equation 7 to sections of the tower small enough to justify use of the logarithmic mean- potential will yield the tower volume required for each section. The sections must be taken perpendicular to the path of water flow. A correction to adjust the logarithmic mean potential, evaluated as for counter-flow, to the reduced effectiveness of cross-flow, has been derived for heat transfer and may be applied to this caseB.
For small size counterflow spray towers intended for a low cooling
range only considerable data I3; 11 are available on the performance of the
spray system in- terms of the logarithmic mean enthalpy potential.
These data show the importance of proper nozzle arrangement and spray
distribution within the tower. The greatest cooling effect is shown to be
obtained in a region close to the nozzles;' and the beneficial effects of.
packing added in the lower section of the tower follow as increasing the
cooling range. .
.
Atmospheric towers operate with natural draft, produced in a vertical direction by the stack action of the tower structure, at zero velocity of the approach wind. Approach wind of sufficient magnitude (the magnitude depending on the baffle arrangement which is designed to reduce drift) will cause cross-flow augmenting the natural draft. An adequate design requires the consideration of both flow conditions. -
Expression for Cooling Tower Performance
.
The performance of a cooling tower is described in terms of its effective ness as an energy exchanger. The effectiveness is defined as the ratio of the energy actually exchanged to the energy available for exchange.
Effectiveness expressions:
-
.
Case 1. The slope of the operating line on the t -- h diagram exceeds the slope of the saturation line in the region of water temperatures considered.
h - hi e h' - hi
(9)
Case B. The slope of the saturation line exceeds that of the operating line.
_ hi -- hi
t\ -- ti
. ti -- Iwb (<i -- fwb)
(10)
This equation represents the approach to wet-bulb.
Usual tower operating conditions conform to Case 1. Because of the
curvature of the saturation line, operating conditions may present them
selves to which neither Case 1 nor 2 applies. Since a simple expression for
the intermediate case is not available, the expression of Case 1 may be
utilized for the small number of operating conditions falling into the
intermediate classification.
.

* Make-Up Water
. . Since the atmospheric water cooling equipment performs its functions
chiefly by evaporating a portion of the water in order to cool the re-,
mainder, there is a continual drain on the quantity of water in the system,
and this loss must be replaced. Approximately 1 gal of water is lost for
I:
every 1000 gal of water cooled per degree of cooling range; so if 1000 gpm of water are cooled through a 10 deg range, 10 gpm of water will be re-
. quired to replace evaporated water. Replacement supply is. usually
regulated by a float control valve. Chemical treatment of the make-up
water may be necessary to avoid excessive deposits in the condensers.
Winter Freezing
.
- If atmospheric water eooling equipment is operated in freezing weather,
. the water may be cooled to freezing temperature so ice forms and collects
. , until its weight causes damage. To obviate freezing during continued
operation, the efficiency of the apparatus may be lowered. This is done
on the spray pond and the spray cooling tower, by reducing the quantity
of water fed to the apparatus, thereby lowering the pressure at the
nozzles and increasing the size of the drops produced. On the deck tower
the upper system may be shut off and a secondary distribution system
put in service midway down the height of the tower. The water will be
kept above freezing because it will have shorter contact with the air.
The mechanical draft tower can be protected by reducing the air flow
through the tower, by stopping or reducing the speed of the fans, or by
partially closing dampers.
.
If the system is operated intermittently in freezing weather, water in the basin may freeze and the expansion of the ice may do harm. Freezing during intermittent operation pan be prevented only by draining the water basin when it is out of service. On small roof installations, a tank large enough to hold all the water in the system is often installed inside the building and the basin is drained into this by gravity, the pump suc tion being taken from this inside tank.

THE reduction of the density of water vapor existing in any form within a given space is defined as dehumidification. The term .thus describes a special case of dehydration, which covers the removal of moisture in any form from matter. The degree of dehumidification required varies greatly with different applications, this being one of the prime Considerations in the choice of method. Dehumidification may be accomplished by sensible heat removal as described in Chapters 7, 37 and 43, or by utilizing sorbents.
Sorbents are materials which have the property of dehumidifying gases without the help of refrigeration. All known materials are sorbents to a certain degree, in that they will decrease or increase in moisture content if their vapor pressure is greater or less than that of the surrounding' atmosphere. As generally used, however, the term refers to those materials whose capacity for moisture is large compared to their bulk and weight. Such materials are divided into two general classifications:
1. Adsorbent--A material which has the ability to hold water or other vapors on its
internal surfaces without itself being, permanently changed physically or chemically.
Certain solid materials, such as silica gel, and activated alumina have this property.
Adsorbents also show an affinity for vapors other than water and this action is frequently
selective. Thus, in a mixture of water vapor and organic gases, silica gel will effectively ' '
remove the water vapor and charcoal will remove the organic gases. The selective
property of adsorbents is used in the removal of some contaminating gases.. (See '
Chapter 33.)
- . .5 -
2. Absorbent--A material which has the ability to take up water vapor but which
changes physically, chemically, or both, during the cycle. Calcium chloride is an example
: of a solid material while liquid materials include solutions of lithium chloride, calcium
chloride; lithium bromide and the ethylene glycols.

The fundamental principle by which sorbents remove moisture from
gases lies in their property (when properly active) of having a low vapor
pressure. When brought'in contact with humid gas haying a higher
vapor pressure, the moisture from the gas is adsorbed or absorbed into
the sorbent. This process can continue until the vapor pressure of the .
sorbent has been raised by the increase in moisture content until it
equals that of the humid air. The vapor pressure of the sorbent increases
not only with moisture content but also with increased temperature. The
process is reversible; hence to reactivate a sorbent, the temperature is .
raised until its vapor pressure exceeds that of the surrounding gases. The
moisture will then be driven out of the sorbent by vapor pressure differ- .
ence. Upon cooling down to normal working temperature, the vapor,
pressure of the dehydrated sorbent will have been reduced to the initial-
condition, thus completing the cycle.

Adsorbents

These substances contain a vast number, of sub-microscopic pores which afford a tremendous internal surface to which water adheres or is

adsorbed. In spite of a porous structure these substances retain sufficient
mechanical strength to resist the wear and. handling to which they are
subjected. To be suitable for dehumidification purposes such substances
must fulfill the following requirements:
-
1. Possess suitable water vapor pressure characteristics. 2. Be available at a reasonable cost. 3. Adsorb sufficient moisture per pound of material to avoid excessive bed dimensions. 4. Be'chemically stable, resisting contamination from impurities. 5. Be physically rugged to resist breakdown from handling, abrasion, etc. 6. Be able to withstand breakdown from indefinitely repeated reactivation cycles. 7. Be capable of reactivation at reasonable temperatures.
Activated Aluminum Oxide (Alumina) is a porous, amorphous form of
aluminum oxide and is called by the common name Activated Alumina.
- Commercial activated alumina commonly used for dehumidification
contains about 92 per cent of AlzOz combined with hydrated aluminum
oxide. It is available in granules ranging from a fine powder to pieces
approximately. 1.5 in. in diameter. It has high adsorptive capacity per
. unit of weight and is non-toxic. It may be repeatedly re-activated after
adsorbing moisture without practical loss of its adsorptive ability. In the
grade frequently used for air drying the reactivation maiy be accomplished
at temperatures between 350 and 600 F. Specific gravity is 3.25 and
the pores are reported to occupy 51 per cent of the volume of each
particle. For most estimating purposes the volume-weight relation on
a dry basis may be taken as 50 lb per cubic foot although in the smaller
' sizes the packed weight may be as much as 64 lb per cubic foot.
'
Silicon Dioxide (Silica), in a prepared form obtained by suitable mixing of sulphuric acid with sodium silicate, is another solid adsorbent and is commonly called silica gel. Its capillary structure is exceedingly small, so small that its exact structure has to be deduced as it cannot be observed. It has high adsorptive capacity per unit of weight: it is non-toxic, and may be repeatedly re-activated at temperatures up to 600 F without practical deterioration. Re-activation is generally accomplished with air or other gases at temperatures not over 350 F. Volume of the capillary pores is ' reported to be from 50 to 70 per cent of the total solid volume. Silica gel is available commercially in a wide variety of sizes of graded granules ranging from 3 to 8 mesh granules to impalpable powder (through 325 mesh). The 6 to 16 mesh granules are generally used in dehumidification applications and will vary in density from 40 to 45 lb per cubic foot.
There are other solid substances having marked adsorbent properties, but details concerning them are not available. Most adsorbents have the ability to absorb some gases and condensible vapors other them water -vapor, a property sometimes useful in air conditioning applications, and one which accounts for the extensive use of adsorbent materials in the
field of chemistry.
Air to be dehumidified is drawn or blown through a screened bed of dry, solid adsorbent and the water vapor in the air-vapor mixture is caught and retained in the pores of the medium. The exact nature of the process which goes on during adsorption is not known but it is stated that the action is brought about by surface condensation, and also by a difference between the vapor pressure of the water condensing inside thepores and the partial pressure of the water vapor in the air-vapor mixture. The adsorbing process in the bed can continue until, the vapor pressures ,. reach equilibrium. The amount of vapor adsorbed will depend on the
Dehumidificatioh by Sorbent Materials
665
characteristic of the adsorbent being used, the temperature of the air. and the bed, the vapor pressure of the water vapor in the air being passed through it, and its final vapor pressure or moisture content.
. As the bed of material adsorbs moisture, its vapor pressure approaches that- of the contacting air and the efficiency of adsorption gradually decreases. Equilibrium throughout the whole bed will not be reached for an extended period depending on bed thickness. Because of this diminish ing efficiency of adsorption, commercially designed systems do not. approach the state of equilibrium, but generally operate on a predetermined cycle or contact time and at partial saturation.
Fig. 1. Temperature--Vapor Pressure--Concentration Relation for a Silica Gel Bed at Constant Temperature
As the process of adsorption goes on heat is liberated in the bed. The total heat so liberated consists of the latent heat of the water vapor con densed together with the so-called heat of wetting of the adsorbent. The heat of wetting varies with the substance used as adsorbent' while the latent heat of condensation depends only on the temperature and pressure of the water vapor.
Since the adsorptive ability of an adsorbent depends on the tempera
ture of the bed and on the vapor pressure difference between the pores
and the air-vapor mixture, it is important to know the pressures and
temperatures at which pressure equilibrium is reached. .
.
Evidently the equilibrium conditions represent the limits beyond which adsorption of vapor cannot continue. This relationship for one com-

mercial silica gel of 0.70 specific gravity is shown graphically in. Fig. 1. These curves indicate the general manner in which adsorbents may be expected to perform, though the exact form and values of the curves will vary for each specific adsorbent and may vary even within the same generic group. .
' As an example in the interpretation of the chart consider the case when'
. moist air at a temperature of 80 F and a vapor pressure of 0.5 in. of mer-
" cury flows through a bed of silica gel which is at a temperature of 80 F.
The chart indicates that the equilibrium of pressure between the air-vapor
mixture and the bed is reached when the dry bed has adsorbed moisture
to the extent of 30 per cent of the weight when dry. When this happens
the bed can adsorb no more moisture unless its temperature is decreased
or the air vapor pressure increased.
The effect of temperature upon the adsorptive capacity of silica gel may. be observed by following the 59 F dew-point line'in Fig. 1. At 80 F gel temperature equilibrium is reached at 30 per cent moisture con centration while at 120 F and 200 F equilibrium is reached at 12 and 6.6 per cent moisture respectively.
Under normal reactivation temperatures the residual water content of silica gel is between 5 and 6 per cent. . '
In practice, the temperature rise in the dehumidified air caused by the adsorption heat is approximately 10 deg for each grain of moisture removed. per cubic foot of air at atmospheric pressure. This temperature rise. occurs progressively through the adsorbent bed and is an important con sideration in predetermining the performance of a given design of ap paratus. Data such as these together with infornlation covering other characteristics, such as specific heat, resistance to air flow, etc., are of value in the basic design of adsorption apparatus. In the solution of ,' air conditioning problems, however, reference must be made to per formance data on established apparatus'designs such as are presented later in this chapter.
Absorbents
'
. Any absorbent substance may be used as a dehumidifying agent if it
has a vapor pressure lower than the vapor pressure in the air-vapor
mixture from which the moisture is to be removed.
'.
Solid Absorbents. The substances used are in general the solid forms of the liquid absorbents. Calcium chloride is frequently used bksuse of low cost. At present they `
. are used principally in small dessicating chambers, and in small dryers of the cartridge type, through which air is forced under pressure. '
Liquid Absorbents. These are characteristically water solutions of materials in which
the vapor pressure is reduced to a suitable level by governing the concentration and
. temperature of the dehydrating solution. In addition to having suitable vapor pressure
characteristics a practical absorbent must also be widely available at economical cost,
be non-corrosive, odorless, non-toxic, non-inflammable, chemically inert against any
impurities' in the air stream, stable over .the range of use and,especially it must not
precipitate out at the lowest temperature to which the apparatus is exposed. It must
have low viscosity and be capable of being economically regenerated or concentrated
after having been diluted by absorbing moisture.
-
- Water solutions, or brines, of the chlorides or bromides of various . inorganic elements such as lithium chloride and calcium chloride are the absorbents most frequently used in connection with air conditioning . . applications and detailed attention is confined to these two in this chapter.
. ' The application consists of bringing the air'-vapor stream into intimate

contact with1 the absorbent, permissibly by passing the air stream through a finely divided spray of the brine but more generally by passing the air over a contacting pack where the liquid absorbent presents a large surface to the air stream. The difference in vapor pressure causes some of the . vapor in the air-vapor mixture to migrate into the brine. Here it condenses into liquid water and decreases the concentration of the absorbent.
As the water vapor is added to the absorbent and condenses, it gives up its latent heat of condensation. For every pound of water absorbed and condensed the heat released is obtainable from steam tables. For in

stance, at a dew-point temperature of 60 F .the amount of this heat is
about 1057 Btu. In addition to this heat there is involved also the so-
called heat of mixing which is frequently, considerable. The heat thus
produced in the contacting packs of the average air conditioning instal
lation is to a large extent transferred to the chemical solution itself and
the balance to the air being dried.
,
A more complete cycle involves heat removal from the contacting medium, either within or external to the interchanger. Thus the tem perature of the medium may be higher than, equal to, or lower than that of the air, depending on the agent used and the function to be performed: In,such a cycle, the process may be accompanied by cooling or heating, or either, and such effect, if present, may be either a necessary by-product of the process, or for the specific purpose of obtaining both latent and

sensible heat removal simultaneously. In many industrial applications it is not necessary to aftercool the air. In applications requiring low drybulb temperatures excess sensible heat must be removed by an aftercooler. '
Since the absorption process can continue only as long as there is a difference in vapor pressure between the absorbent and the air-vapor mixture and since at a given temperature of the absorbent the vapor pressure depends on the concentration of the solution, evidently there . must be a relation between these quantities which, if known, would state
Fig. 3. Temperature--Pressure--Concentrations For Calcium Chloride
the limits of the process. The relationship would also depend on the absorbent being used, and would have to be determined for each sub stance used as an absorbent. This relationship is shown graphically in Fig. 2 for lithium chloride, and Fig. 3 presents similar data for calcium chloride. These charts are essentially similar to Fig. 1, and their direct usefulness is limited by much the same considerations. Other physical .'properties of lithium chloride are shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3.
In Fig. 2 and Table 1 the unit of concentration is the mol. An M molal solution is defined as a solution containing M X 42.37 grains of anhydrous ' lithium chloride.per 1000 grains of water. The formula connecting con-, centration in mols with weight in per cent is equivalent to:' (100 X MX 42.37) -f[1000 + (MX 42.37)]. '

Example 1. Determine the dew-point, wet-bulb, per cent saturation and humidity ratio of air in equilibrium at 100 F with pure lithium chloride solution of density 1.270.
Solution. From Table 1 the concentration of a solution of density 1.270 at 100 F is
18.0 M. From Fig. 2 the dew-point of 18 M lithium chloride at 100 F is 43.7 F. From
Table 1, Chapter 3, the partial pressure of-water over the solution is 0.2857 in. of Hg,
and the humidity ratio is 0.00602 lb per pound dry air. From the Mollier Diagram
the wet-bulb is 66.3 F, and the per cent saturation is 14 per c?nt.
.
Example 8. ` Determine the boiling point, and freezing point of 18 M lithium chloride
solutions.
..
. Solution.. From Table 1, boiling point (standard) is 285.8 F, freezing point is 58.1 F.
ExarnpU 8. Calculate the heat of vaporization of 1 lb of water from a large amount of
18 M lithium chloride solution at the boiling point.
Solution. The heat of boiling is equal to the heat of mixing plus the heat of boiling
pure water at the same temperature. The heat of mixing from Table 1 at 18 U and
.285.8 F is 145 -- (0.186 X 285.8) = 92 Btu per pound. The heat of vaporization of
water from steam tables at 285.8 F is 920 Btu per.pound. Therefore the heat of vaporiza
tion of water from the solution is 920 + 92 = 1012 Btu per pound. ,
Example 4- One thousand pounds of air per minute at 100 F dry-bulb with a dew
point of 70 F and 36.7 per cent saturation are passed over 18 M lithium chloride solution.
The rate of flow of the solution is 200 gpm and the entering temperature is 80 F. The
air leaves the absorber at 85 F dry-bulb and dew-point of 35 F. Calculate (a) the heat
to be removed from the lithium chloride solution to maintain these conditions, and
(4) the temperature rise of the solution in passing through the absorber.
'
' Solution, (a) The enthalpy of the entering air at 100 F dry-bulb and 36.7 per cent
saturation = Aa + \xhos ~ 24.029 + (0.367.X 47.70) = 41.54 Btu per pound (Table
1, Chapter 3).
>
,
The per cent saturation of the air leaving at 85 F dry-bulb and 35 F dew-point is 16.2.
Enthalpy of leaving air - 20.42 + 0.162 X 29.01 = 25.12 Btu per pound (Table 1, Chapter 3).
Heat to be extracted from air = 1000 (41.54 -- 25.12) = 16,420 Btu per minute.
Heat of mixing -- 145 (0.186 X' 80) = 130 Btu per pound of moisture removed.
From Table l, Chapter 3, the moisture removal per pound of air = 0.01582 -- 0.00428
= 0.01154 lb. Heat of mixing for 1000 lb of air = 1000 X 0.01154 X 130 = 1500 Btu.
Total heat extraction = 16,420 +.1500 = 17,920 Btu per minute.
.
(6) The weight of solution circulated is 200 X 1.27 (Table 1) X 8.33 = 2116 lb per minute: Its heat capacity = 2116 X 0.631 (Table 1) = 1335 Btu per (minute) (Fahren heit degree). The temperature rise = 17,920 4- 1335 = 13.4 F.

DEHUMIDIFICATION. WITH SOLID SORBENTS.
One type of equipment suitable for producing dehumidification with solid drying agents utilizes an. apparatus with continuously rotating beds or dampers as illustrated in Fig. 4. The apparatus consists essen
' -
tially of a cylinder or drum filled with a dehumidifying or drying agent. Air flow through the drum is directed' by baffles which permit three . independent air streams to flow through the adsorbing material. One. air stream consists of the wet air which is to be dehumidified. The second , is heated activation air used for drying that part of the dehumidifying material which has become saturated. The third air stream pre-cools the bed to permit an immediate pickup of moisture when that part of the .
bed returns to the dehydration cycle.
.
In the rotating bed apparatus, the baffle sheets are stationary and the screened bed rotates at a definite speed to permit the proper time of contact in the activation, cooling and dehumidifying cycles. In the
Activation air neater

rotating damper apparatus, the bed remains stationary and a sectionalized
damper rotates. This rotating damper produces the same general effect
as if the stationary baffles previously mentioned rotated.

Clean air for activation is supplied at temperatures normally ranging
from 300 to 350 F. Any source of clean heated air can be used such as
air heated by electric heaters or steam coils, or air indirectly heated by ,
coal or oil fired interchangers. Direct fired heaters are usually designed
for gas since there must be no condensable, tarry, combustion products to .
contaminate the adsorbent. To avoid excessive contamination or clog
ging of the absorbent'bed by dust it is frequently desirable to provide -.
filters for the activation air.

'.
Where activation air heating coils are supplied with steam at 80 lb per. -
square inch gage pressure or higher, activation efficiency will remain
normal and moisture removal capacity will not be reduced. When lower '.
steam pressures are used, incomplete reactivation will result in reduced
moisture removal.

Another type of solid adsorption equipment uses two complete sets
of stationary adsorbing beds, arranged so that one set is dehumidifying .
the air while the other set is being activated. With the dampers in the
position shown in Fig. 5, air to be dried flows through one set of beds and '. '
is dehumidified, while activation air is heated and circulated through' the -
other set. , After activation is complete, the beds are cooled by shutting
off the, activation air heaters and allowing unheated air to circulate

through them.

impair performance, a timer-controller causes the dampers to rotate to the opposite side. Thus the beds which on the previous cycle were ad sorbing have activation air circulated through them, and vice versa. Activation air is heated in the same manner as with continuous equipment.
DEHUMIDIFICATION WITH LIQUID SORBENTS
One type of system utilizing liquid sorbents includes an external inter changer having essential parts consisting of a liquid contactor, a solution concentrator, a solution heater and a cooling coil all as shown in Fig. 6.'

the main brine reservoir for re-pumping. The concentrator operates in the manner of an evaporative condenser, whereby moisture is evaporatedfrom the brine, by the heating coils, into a stream of regeneration air taken . ' from and rejected to the outside atmosphere. Low pressure steam is normally used for heating the brine. When it is desirable or necessary to use gas or electricity, an auxiliary low pressure steam boiler is usually . added to the equipment. Concentrators operating on a simple boiler principle have not as yet been commercially practical. *
. It should be noted that the solution concentration phase is the reverse of the absorption process. During concentration the aqueous vapor pressure of the solution is greater than that of the surrounding air, while during dehumidification, the reverse is the case. Utilization of this principle permits winter humidification, by heating (instead of cooling) the solution pumped to the contactor. Water is thereby evaporated
Coding coil and
Fig. 5. Solid Adsorbent Dehumidifier--Stationary Bed Type
The contactor and cooling coil are located in the wet air stream. The air to be conditioned is brought into contact with an aqueous brine solution having a vapor pressure below that of the entering air, resulting in a - transfer of moisture (latent heat). As previously described, this results in a conversion of latent heat to sensible heat which raises the solution temperature and consequently the air temperature. The temperature change of the air being processed is determined by the cooling, water temperature and the amount of moisture removed in the equipment. Control of leaving air temperature may be obtained by precooling the absorbent solution in a suitable surface cooler, by tap, well, or artificially chilled water.
The excess water of condensation, which dilutes the brine, is removed . in the solution concentrator. This is a low pressure steam heat exchanger ; which over-concentrates a portion of the weak liquor and returns it to

Contactor are Combined
into, instead of being condensed out of, the conditioned air stream. This ' requires dilution of the brine externally to the contactor, rather than ` concentration.

... EQUIPMENT AUXILIARIES AND CONTROLS
Precoolers. When cold water is available, it is generally economical to
use this water in a precooling coil in the warm, humid air stream. Any
dehumidifying accomplished by this coil reduces the load; and moreover,
lowering the temperature of the inlet air results in a higher moisture
removal efficiency.
Dry Air Coolers. Particularly with the solid adsorbent process,and to a lesser extent with liquid absorbents, a dry air cooler may be employed to remove sensible heat from the dehumidified air whenever it leaves the apparatus at an elevated temperature. A cooling coil using-city water is usual practice, and, is considered economical whenever the difference between effluent air and entering water temperatures is greater than 15 F.
Controls. The use of direct or' chemical dehumidifying equipment
makes possible the use of a relatively simple control,system with a humidi-
stat or, alternatively, a wet-buib controller, to regulate the operation of
the machine, and a thermostat to control the sensible cooling apparatus.
Functionally, the relative humidity control may consist' of one Of the
following: ' - '

1. Stop--Start--Where the humidistat starts the dehumidifier on rising 'humidity
and stops it on falling humidity.

2. By-pass--Where the humidistat modulates face aind by-pass dampers located at
the wet air inlet of the dehumidifier. 'Thus the quantity of air passing through the

power required to drive air through the bed. It must also be borne in mind that the moisture -removal efficiency of all solid adsorbents and absorbent solutions is related to the temperature of the medium as well as to its state of unsaturation: On the other hand, it will be noted that the lower limits of dehumidification, which can be obtained with absorbent solutions, are likely to be controlled by the equilibrium dew-point at the lowest temperature at which the solution will resist freezing or crystalli zation. For this reason, actual moisture removing capacity is determined from performance curves of the several materials under practical con-

EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE
It is recognized that, whereas the curves relating temperature and . vapor pressure of the several dehumidifying agents (Figs.1 1, 2 and 3) accurately define the equilibrium limits for these materials, these curves t cannot be used for predicting performance of available equipment. This occurs because (a) the materials themselves can only be utilized efficiently., within' certain ranges of moisture concentration, and (b)' the degree to which the vapor pressure of the air being treated approaches that at the surface of the material depends upon the completeness of the contact. It is obvious, for example, that the thickness of-a bed of solid adsorbent for a given, air flow will have a profound effect upon the degree' of moisture removal attained: However, it will have an inverse effect upon the '

COMPARISON OF METHODS OF DEHUMIDIFICATION
Almost all summer comfort air conditioning, as well as much industrial
and commercial air conditioning, requires both of the functions of sensible
and latent heat removal from air. Each of the methods of cooling and
dehumidification has as its objective either the removal of sensible or
latent heat, or both simultaneously. Choice of method and medium
therefore depends solely on whether (a) method and medium are physi
cally able to accomplish the desired result with practical equipment, and
(6) method and medium are justifiable economically. .
'.
Referring particularly to the problem of moisture removal, it may be stated that dehumidification either by using chilled water, brine or direct

chemical methods deserve special consideration, as they do in applica tions where the task is primarily one of moisture removal with no necessity. for sensible temperature reduction.
It is evident that it is not possible to set forth definite rules governing
the choice of the method of dehumidification. It is only possible to state
certain general conditions.
'
Sorbent methods tend to be favorable where:
1. Low temperature water is available (below 65 F), to meet sensible cooling re
quirements.

expansion refrigerant, or by using solid or liquid drying agents, is equally
practical from the viewpoint of engineering performance for the vast
majority of comfort and for a great many industrial applications requiring
dew-point temperatures above 45 F.
.
' For this reason, in the normal operating range, consideration is usually
based upon practical factors which affect the over-all economics of the
situation or upon the desire or necessity of attaining independent control
of either temperature or humidity. In this connection, it. should be
remembered that though a satisfactory balance may exist between cooling
and dehumidification requirements at maximum design conditions, there'
are many periods when practical operating conditions will result in an
unsatisfactory balance of sensible and latent loads unless there is a
simultaneous use of cooling and reheating.
.
In the normal range the choice between direct or chemical dehumidi
fication, mechanical refrigeration, natural cold water, or ice, must be
justified by the initial investment of available equipment; the availability
and cost of prime energy sources; the charges to be allocated to space
occupied, labor of operation and maintenance; and the degree of control
required. '

3. Abnormally high internal latent heat load is encountered.

the greatest influence since these factors affect the applicability to normal
range requirements. However, each of the items listed has a direct
influence upon economic considerations.-

WITH the increasing use of all-year comfort air conditioning instal lations the importance of refrigeration to the air conditioning engineer has been greatly magnified. .The details of equipment operation,
maintenance, and design remain problems for the refrigeration engineer,
but the air conditioning engineer does retain a responsibility to the
customer which requires some knowledge on his part of the different
refrigeration cycles' and the relative merits of each. In order to assist
in meeting this need, the present chapter has been divided into two parts,
the first covering the fundamental technical relationships which govern
the selection and analysis of an operating cycle and the second presenting
brief discussions of some of the equipment and equipment arrangements
which are most commonly used.

The ton of refrigeration is a quantity unit which originated in the days when harvested ice was the principal source of summer cooling, By definition the ton is the cooling effect realized when'one ton of.32 F ice melts to water at 32 F; since the latent heat of fusion of ice is 1.44 Btu per pound; the ton represents a unit cooling effect of 144 X 2,000 = 288,000 Btu. In common practice the ton is usually considered a rate (rather than quantity) unit and is taken as 288,000 Btu per day (24. hours) or 12,000 Btu per hour or 200 Btu per minute. Thus for air conditioning calculations,, the size of the requisite refrigeration machine, expressed in tons, can be obtained by dividing the heat gairi of the struc ture, expressed in'Btu per hour, by 12,000. In equation form: '

- The working substance, or refrigerant, is the fluid which carries heat through the refrigeration cycle from the evaporator, where heat enters the refrigerant, to the condenser where the heat is discharged to some cooling medium. The great majority of modern refrigeration systems use a liquefiable vapor as the working substance. By altering the pressure of the refrigerant its boiling temperature is changed, allowing the material to. boil in the evaporator at a temperature sufficiently lower than that of the conditioned space to insure maintenance of an effective' heat transfer rate from the space (or in some cases from a secondary cooling fluid such as brine or cold water) to the refrigerant. The vapor formed in the evaporator is then raised in pressure (by a compressor, or by the absorber-generator combination of the absorption system) until its new
boiling temperature exceeds the temperature of the available cooling

medium; under these conditions heat transfer is established from the refrigerant vapor to the cooling medium with resultant condensation of the refrigerant. When condensed, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is reduced in pressure and again allowed to boil in the evaporator.
Thermodynamically, a material for use as a refrigerant should have a large latent heat of vaporization since it is this heat quantity---subject to minor variations--which constitutes the working effectiveness of the refrigerant. Further, since the work required to compress a vapor increases rapidly with the pressure range, the thermodynamic character istics of the fluid should be such that the required low-to-high temperature range can be achieved with only a moderate change in pressure. A further consideration, from the standpoint of practical operating effectiveness, is that the suction pressure should not be below atmospheric (to prevent leakage of air into the refrigerant lines) nor should the condenser pressure be excessively high (to prevent need for extra-heavy construction). The specific volume-specific enthalpy relationship is also important" because some materials'would have such low density, when.in vapor form, that impractical compressor displacements would be needed to handle the suction vapor.
Properties of refrigerants are usually given either in tabular or graphic
form. In contrast to the temperature-entropy plotting which is used
almost exclusively in steam-power work, refrigeration problems are
usually referred to a pressure-enthalpy chart. The advantage of pressure-
enthalpy plotting is that linear distances on the chart correspond to
energy gains or, losses and the two types of processes, constant-pressure
and constant-enthalpy, which occur most frequently in refrigeration
cycles, can both be represented by straight vertical or horizontal lines.
Tabular arrangements of refrigerant properties have the disadvantage
common to all point representations, in requiring interpolation between
given values, but have the advantage of an accuracy greater than that -
obtainable from a chart. Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 give the thermo
dynamic properties of seven of the more common refrigerants: dichloro-
difluoromethane (F-12), monochlorodifluoromethane (F-22), methyl,
chloride, ammonia, carbon dioxide, monofluorotrichloromethane (F-ll),
and water; the first five of these materials are'commonly used in recipro
cating compressors, the last two in centrifugal machines, while water also
finds use in steam jet systems.
.
Referring to Table 1, the first column gives the range of saturation
temperatures likely to occur in practice. The second column gives the
saturation pressure expressed in pounds per square inch absolute corre
sponding to a given temperature, while the next six columns give the
three fundamental specific properties, volume, enthalpy, and entropy,
of the saturated liquid and saturated vapor respectively. The last four
columns give specific enthalpy and specific entropy for gases with 25
deg and with 50 deg of superheat; note' particularly that the column
heading 50 F superheat means, not that the gas is at a temperature of
50 F, but that its temperature exceeds by 50 deg the saturation tempera
ture corresponding to its actual pressure. Thus F-12 vapor at 38.0 psig
and 91 F possesses 50 deg of superheat since its saturation temperature
corresponding to 52.7 psia is 41 F.
The tabular arrangements of refrigerant properties are literally for saturated or superheated materials only. In many cases, however, the engineer must work with sub-cooled liquids. With an accuracy sufficient for all practical purposes the specific volume and specific enthalpy of any

Note: Sp. En. = Specific Enthalpy.
sub-cooled refrigerant can be taken as equal to the values read from the tables for a saturated liquid at the same temperature. Thus if F-12 at 121 psia and 40 F is passing through a pipe, its volume and enthalpy can be determined from Table 1 as 0.0116 cu ft per pound and 17.0 Btu per pound.
Frequently it is necessary to determine the properties of a wet vapor or of a mixture of liquid with some added vapor, such as is found at discharge from an expansion valve. This can be done from the tables by noting that the specific enthalpy of the mixture must be equal to that of the saturated liquid plus a fraction of the latent heat of vaporiza tion equal to the fraction of refrigerant which is present in vapor form.

Consider, for example, F-12 with a quality (the per cent in vapor form) of 30 per cent; the specific enthalpy of this material would be equal to:
km = hi + 0.30 (Av - hi)
(2)
where
km = specific enthalpy of the mixture. hi = specific enthalpy of the liquid. hv = specific enthalpy of the saturated vapor.
Values of hi and hv are obtained from Table 1 for the actual pressure
of the mixture.

By a reversal of this same procedure the tabular data can be used to determine .the state of a mixture leaving an expansion valve. Consider a valve to which saturated liquid at pressure p,, is admitted and a mixture of saturated liquid and vapor at pressure pi is discharged. The quality of the material at discharge is then determined by making use of the fact that the expansion process is completly irreversible, is a throttling process, and hence occurs without change in enthalpy. Thus the enthalpy of the mixture, hm, is equal to the enthalpy of the saturated liquid at the entrance state, his, and can therefore be read from the table.

The refrigerant cycle is the series of state changes which occur in the
conditioning processes needed to restore the refrigerant to a condition
in which it will possess the ability to extract heat from the space to be
cooled. For all compression-type systems the cycle consists of four
processes: heat gain in the evaporator; pressure rise in the compressor;
heat loss in the condenser; pressure loss in the expansion valve. The
compression process is accomplished at the expense of energy added to
the compressor in the form of shaft work and the expansion process
could be carried out, if the economics of the system would permit, in an
expanding engine with consequent release of energy as shaft work. In
ordinary systems, however, the additional first cost and maintenance
costs of an expanding engine so greatly exceed the advantage resulting
from the work realized that such engines are not used and the pressure
reduction is allowed to occur irreversibly in an expansion valve. Basic
ally, then, a refrigeration cycle consists of two heat transfer processes
and two pressure change processes, no work entering into the heat
transfer processes and--in. the simple cycle--no heat transfer occurring
during the pressure-change processes.
'
Simple Refrigeration Cycles
The most common and least complicated type of refrigeration cycle is shown in Fig. 1 and is called the simple saturation cycle. For this system saturated vapor flows without gain or loss of heat from the
688
CHAPTER 39
1946 Guide
evaporator to the suction of the compressor. During passage through the compressor the energy added as shaft work goes entirely to increase the enthalpy of the refrigerant and the compression process, which is assumed to occur irreversibly and without external heat transfer, is characterized by constant entropy. Thus the state of the superheated vapor leaving the compressor can be determined from the tables of thermodynamic properties by noting the discharge pressure and fixing also the entropy of the saturated vapor at entrance to the compressor.
Superheated vapor from the compressor flows to the condenser where desuperheating and condensation take place. From the condenser the refrigerant flows to the expansion valve, undergoes a constant-enthalpy pressure reduction and returns to the evaporator where it again removes a quantity of undesired heat. When the evaporator is arranged to permit direct cooling of room air by the refrigerant, the system is said to be
Heat of Compression Added to Gas
of the direct expansion type, while a system in which the evaporating
refrigerant cools water or brine, which in turn cools the air, is said to be
indirect. Although many differences exist between most actual systems
and that of the simple saturation cycle this latter is nonetheless of great
value in that it provides an extremely simple method of rapidly achieving
an approximate analysis of probable power requirements, compressor
size, etc. Further, the equations used in analysis of a simple saturation
cycle form the basis of the more complex treatments required for com
pound refrigeration cycles. For these reasons a typical simple saturation
problem will be worked in detail.
'
Example 1. A simple saturation cycle carries a 7 ton load when operating between suction and discharge pressures of 52.7 psia and 121 psia with F-12 as the refrigerant. Determine: (a) the cooling effect provided by each pound of refrigerant, (A) the refrig erant circulating rate, (c) the horse power required, (d) the quantity of heat to be dis` sipated from the condenser, (e) the required condenser cooling water, in gallons per
minute, if temperature rise of water passing through the condenser is 8 deg, (f) the bore
and stroke of a double acting cylinder (neglecting the effect of the piston rod) if speed of compressor is 500 revolutions per minute.
Solution, (a) Saturated liquid F-12 at 121 psia leaves the condenser and enters the
expansion valve. The enthalpy of this material (from Table 1) is 29.68 Btu per pound
and this must also be its enthalpy at entrance to the evaporator. Leaving the evaporator
as a saturated vapor at 52.7 psia, its enthalpy is 82.82 so the refrigerating effect must be
82.82 -- 29.68 = 53.14 Btu per pound.
Refrigeration_____________ ;|689
(A) The refrigerant circulating rate is equal to the total heat to be picked up in unit time divided by the pick-up per pound of refrigerant or, '
Wr = (7 ton X 200) -s- 53.14 = 26.3 lb per minute.
(c) The horse power required is equal to the increase in energy of the refrigerant
passing through the compressor (expressed in Btu per minute) divided by the conversion
factor 42.42, which is the number of Btu per minute corresponding to 1 hp,
-
(hp) '= Wr (Ad - Avs) 4- 42.42
where
hp = horse power. Wr = refrigerant circulating rate in pounds per minute. Ad = specific enthalpy of vapor at condition of discharge from compressor. Avs = specific enthalpy of saturated.vapor entering compressor.
(5)
Wr is known from (A) and AVs is the enthalpy of refrigerant as it enters the compressor in a saturated vapor state at 52.7 psia; thus Avs = 82.82.
In order to determine Ad, the state of the refrigerant must first be determined at the compressor discharge. At the known suction state the entropy (from Table 1 for satu rated vapor at 52.7 psia) is 0.16828 and, since the compression is assumed to occur isentropically, it therefore follows that the discharge state must have the same entropy at 121 psia. From the table the entropy of vapor superheated 25 deg is 0.17330, so the superheat, tsd, possessed by the actual gas discharged from this, compressor can be obtained by interpolation as,
- sd 0.16828 - 0.16608 25 0.17330 - 0.16608
from which /gd = 7.6 deg.
As the saturation temperature at 121 psia is 94 F the actual temperature, Id, of the vapor
leaving the compressor is, <d = 94 + tsd 5=5 94 + 7.6 = 101.6 F. By the same kind of
interpolation the enthalpy of the discharged vapor can be determined from the enthal
pies given for vapor superheated 25 F and for saturated vapor,
.
(Ad - 88.10)
(0.16828 - 0.16608)
- . (92.16 - 88.10) (0.17330 - 0.16608)
from which, Ad = 89.34 Btu per pound.
Then substituting into Equation 5,
. . (hp) = 26.3 (89.34 - 82.82) -h 42.42 = 4.03
(d) The rate of heat loss from the condenser, Qc, must be equal to the sum of the energies picked up by the refrigerant in the evaporator and the compressor,
Qc = 53.14 + (89.34 r 82.82) - 53.14 .+ 6.52 = 59.66 Btu per pound or 26.3 X
59.66 = 1569 Btu per minute. This same figure can, of course, be determined more
directly by subtraction of the enthalpy of liquid leaving the condenser from the enthalpy
of superheated vapor going into it, thus,
.
Qc = 26.3 (89.34 -- 29.68) = 1569 Btu per minute.
'
(e) The cooling water rate (based on a gallon as 8.34 lb) is 1569 h- (8 X .8.34) =
23.5 gpm.,
(/) The compressor size is fixed by the volume of gas which must be drawn into the machine per unit time. Saturated vapor at 52.7 psia has a specific volume, from Table 1, of 0.779 cu ft per pound, hence 26.3 X 0.779 = 20.49 cfm of gas must be handled. Assuming a volumetric efficiency of 90 per cent the compressor must then displace 20.49 -5- 0.9 = 22.8 cfm. The speed is given as 500 rpm and as the unit is known to be double-acting the displacement is therefore (22.8 X 1728) t (2 X 500) = 39.4 cu in. If the unit were designed so that bore, d, and stroke were the same,
M3) r4 = 39.4
d = 3.69 in.

Coefficient of Performance
-.
In order to permit evaluation of the effectiveness with which any given cycle operates, some term is desirable which would be comparable to the efficiency that is used for heat engines. In refrigeration the desired effect is heat extraction and the cost of achieving this extraction is the amount of energy which must be supplied as shaft work. Thus the ratio of refrigerating effect to the heat equivalent of the compressor work is used as a measure of effectiveness and is defined as the coefficient of per formance, thus,
(cop) = (hvs - Aic) (Ad -- Avs)
where
'
cop = coefficient of performance. Ava = specific enthalpy of saturated vapor entering compressor. Aic -- specific enthalpy of liquid at discharge-from condenser. Ad = specific enthalpy of vapor at discharge from compressor.
(6)
The subscripts vs, d, and lc represent state points at suction and
discharge of the compressor and at discharge from the condenser. Thus
for the conditions of the simple saturation cycle which was used in Ex
ample 1.
'
(cop) =. (82.82 - 29.68) -5- (89.34 - 82.82) = 8.17.
.
This coefficient can be compared with that which would exist if the
system were to operate on an ideal Carnot cycle for which the coefficient
of performance would be,
'
^p) = rc where
Ta = evaporator temperature, Fahrenheit degrees, absolute. Tc = condenser temperature, Fahrenheit degrees, absolute.
In problem 1, Ta = 501 F (which is 41 F + 460) and Tc = 554 F (which is 94 F + 460) and,
. (C0P) = (554 -- 501) = 96
The actual cycle is therefore 8.17 -5- 9.6 or 85 per cent as effective as
a Carnot cycle between the same temperature limits.
.
Influence of Suction Pressure
'
Brief consideration of the analytical procedure used in discussion of the simple saturation cycle will bring out the need for maintaining the suction pressure on any refrigeration system as high as the load will permit. As the suction pressure increases, for fixed discharge pressure, the enthalpy of refrigerant entering the evaporator remains unchanged, but the leaving enthalpy increases and hence the refrigerating effect increases. Further, compressor energy input is reduced not merely because of the greater enthalpy of the gas at suction, but also because of a reduction in the enthalpy of the superheated gas at discharge.. Since the refrigerating effect is greater and the work less, it is obvious that there will be a substantial gain in the coefficient of performance.
The actual value of suction pressure on any system is obviously determined by the required temperature which must be maintained in
Refrigeration -_____________________ -|691
the conditioned space. For a direct expansion system, the evaporator
can be held at a temperature not much less than that of the conditioned
enclosure except in cases where lower temperatures may be needed in
order to establish a desired ratio of dehumidifying to cooling load. When
dehumidification requirements dictate the use of unusually low evaporator
temperatures the increased operating cost should properly.be charged
against the dehumidification rather than the sensible cooling.
'
Influence of Discharge Pressure
In contrast to the suction pressure, the compressor discharge pressure should be kept as low as operating conditions will allow. This pressure must be high enough to provide a saturation temperature of refrigerant within the condenser which is greater than the exit temperature of the cooling water. The discharge pressure therefore is a direct function of the temperature of the cooling fluid and will automatically rise whenever the temperature of cooling water (or air) rises; it will also rise when the flow rate of the cooling medium is decreased.
Increase in discharge pressure (for fixed suction pressure) raises the enthalpy of the gas leaving the compressor, hence increases the work of compression. Further, the enthalpy of saturated liquid leaving the condenser increased with pressure so the refrigerating effect must de crease. Thus the effect of such a pressure rise is to require more work per pound of refrigerant handled and at the same time to necessitate an increase in the refrigerant flow rate.
Influence of Water Jacket
. The preceding discussion has, in every case, assumed isentropic com
pression. Where exact performance data are not available this assumption
is a desirable one since it leads to a conservatively large determination
of the power required. In most actual systems the compression process
departs from isentropic due to irreversible heat transfers which occur
between the vapor in the cylinder and the cylinder wall and also because
of intentional heat dissipation from the outside of the cylinder walls to
the surroundings,, or to a cooling fluid passing through a water jacket
around the cylinder.
'
Exact measurement of the heat carried away in the jacket cooling water requires facilities which frequently are not available on field installations, but a reasonable close approximation to both the heat loss and the work requirement can be obtained from theory, providing the temperature of the gas leaving the compressor is experimentally determined. Knowing the temperature and pressure at both suction and discharge, the actual state points can be readily determined from the tables of refrigerant properties and the entropies and enthalpies thereby evaluated. Then the energy dissipation to cooling water can be calculated approximately from the equation,
Qj = WT (As) Favg
. (7)
where
Qj = energy dissipated to cooling water, Btu per minute.
Wt ~ weight of refrigerant, pounds per. minute.
As = entropy change between suction and discharge.
7avg -- average temperature of gas passing through compressor, Fahrenheit degrees, absolute.
692
CHAPTER 39
1946 Guide
The work of (Compression is then given by the equation:
. (hp) = lWr(hi - hve) + Q,] ~ 42.42
where
hp -- horsepower. Ad = specific enthalpy of vapor at compressor discharge. Avs = specific enthalpy of saturated vapor entering compressor.
(8)
From the form of Equation 8 it would appear that an increase in the energy loss to the jacket would result in a greater power requirement since the Qj term is additive; actually, however, computation will readily show that the effect of an increase in the Qj term is to decrease the horse power since the rate of decrease of enthalpy difference will, in every case, exceed the increase in heat loss. Thus compressor cooling is highly desirable as'a method of reducing power consumption.
Influence of Superheating and Subcooling
The most common departure from conditions of the simple saturation cycle is that resulting from admission of superheated vapor to the com pressor. Thermodynamically, superheat is undesirable since the enthalpy increase required to compress a vapor through a given pressure range increases with superheat. Further, superheated vapor leaving an evapo rator is usually an indication that the suction pressure is lower than necessary. Under practical operating conditions, however, superheat is almost universally used as a means of assuring complete vaporization of the refrigerant going to the compressor. With modern compressors operating at high speed and with relatively small''clearance space it is particularly necessary to avoid admission through the suction valves of liquid refrigerant.
Another common departure of actual systems from the simple satu
ration cycle occurs because of subcooling of refrigerant in the condenser.
Thermodynamically such subcooling is advantageous since it increases
the refrigerating effect without affecting the unit energy requirements
of the compressor. Further, it can be shown that for a fixed ratio of
condenser cooling water to refrigerant circulating rate the total compres
sor power requirements will be greater when operating simple saturation
than when operating with maximum sub-cooling. What is even more
surprizing is that the condenser pressure is lower for the sub-cooling
cycle than for the saturation cycle; this condition results from the fact
that, for the same load, the refrigerant flow rate is less when there is
sub-cooling.
. '.
Because of the advantages attendant upon the use of sub-cooling, many methods are in use for obtaining some sub-cooling effect outside of the condenser. One common procedure is to use the cold vapor leaving the evaporator to cool the liquid flowing from condenser to expansion valve. In this case subcooling is realized at the expense of superheating the suction vapor and thermodynamic analysis will show at once that a definite loss will accrue. The only conditions under which such a system can be justified are those for which the vapor would, in any event, pick up a comparable degree of superheat while en route to the compressor; in this event the deliberate superheating, with useful subcooling as a result, is preferable to the useless superheating which would otherwise occur. In small compressors having large surface area in relation to volume, a definite gain is usually accomplished by such interchange, because for such units there would be considerable heating in any event. On very
Refrigeration
693
large compressors the loss in volumetric efficiency would more than offset any gain, and the capacity would be reduced. Somewhere between these two extremes, the exact point depending on the type of compressor, location of valves, etc., the two factors would offset one-another.
Another somewhat unusual subcooling cycle allows cold refrigerant from the downstream side of the expansion valve to cool liquid refrigerant from the condenser down to the evaporator temperature. In such a case the expansion valve becomes a simple pressure-reducing valve since there is no vapor formation--hence no expansion--during passage of the liquid refrigerant through it. This system is theoretically identical; from the standpoint of thermodynamic effectiveness, with the simple saturation cycle.
Clearance and Conventional Volumetric Efficiency
Clearance, like displacement, is a characteristic--usually fixed--of a given compressor. In some cases clearance pockets are provided which place within the operator's control the ability to alter the clearance of the machine, but most moderate size compressors are built with fixed clearance. By definition the clearance is the percentage of the volume swept by the piston which is represented by spaces in the end of the cylinder (including valve spaces, etc.) when the piston is at the end of its
stroke.
Because of the trapping of high pressure vapor in the clearance space, and its subsequent re-expansion, the suction valves of the compressor do not open until the piston has completed part of its stroke. Hence the volume of fresh vapor introduced into the compressor per stroke is less than the volume swept by the piston. The ratio of actual volume of fresh gas to swept volume is, by definition, the conventional volumetric efficiency, CVE. In equation form,
(CVE) = 100 - Vc
- l]
(9)
where
CVE = conventional volumetric efficiency.
Vc -- clearance, per cent of volume swept by piston, which is contained in spaces at end of cylinder when piston is at end of stroke ^clearance includes valve
spaces, etc.)
_
va ~ specific volume of gas at compressor inlet.
',
specific volume of gas at compressor discharge;
Values of v,, and va can be obtained directly or by calculation from the tables of properties of refrigerants.
Influence of Wiredrawing and of Piping Losses
The pressure drop which occurs during passage of the refrigerant through suction and discharge valves of the compressor is known as wire drawing. Its effect Is equivalent to that of a reduction in the evaporator pressure (but without the disadvantage of reduced refrigerating effect) and an increase in condenser pressure, hence is undesirable. In analyzing a cycle, wiredrawing can be taken into account since it amounts to the interposition of a small expansion valve between the state point of vapor leaving the evaporator and that of vapor at start of the compression process; a similar equivalent valve can be considered as interposed at the end of the compression process and before the state point corre sponding to the condition of the superheated vapor in the discharge line.
694
CHAPTER 39
1946 Guide
In exactly the same way representation on the ideal cycle can be given to the pressure losses that occur in the connecting piping. In each case the entire loss of a given line can be treated as though it occurred during passage through an equivalent expansion (or pressure reducing) valve located at any convenient place in the line. Data to permit evaluation of line losses are given in a subsequent section of this chapter.

Complex Refrigeration Cycles
The preceding sections have dealt only with refrigeration systems in which there is but one evaporator. When two or more evaporators are required, and the pressures differ in each, much greater opportunity is afforded the engineer for obtaining large economies through selection of : one of the more complex cycles. Consider, for example, the refrigeration requirements of an air conditioning system which is to cool a very large
E volume of 90 F outside air down to a conditioned temperature of 40 F. A
I simple saturation system, operating with evaporator temperature less than 40 F, would accomplish the desired purpose, but at the expense of
i excess power requirements since 50 per cent of the sensible cooling load could instead be handled by an evaporator operating at a temperature I! somewhat less than 65 F. The more effective procedure in this case would J be to place two direct expansion coils in series, the first operating at a
temperature less than 65 F and the second, at a temperature below 40 F.1 i In this way approximately one half of the total load would be picked up at 1 the higher evaporator pressure and therefore need be raised through a I much smaller thermal height. The theoretical advantage of such oper ; ation can be visualized from the increase in Carnot effectiveness; assuming 1 that the condenser temperature is 100 F, the coefficient of performance i (cop) of the low temperature evaporator is,
(cop) = (35 + 460) ^ (100 - 35) = 7.63
while that of the higher temperature evaporator is,
(cop) = (60 + 460) (100 - 60) = 12.97.
.
Since the load is assumed to be equally distributed between the two evaporators the cop of the series system is the arithmetical average of the values for the two evaporators or, (7.63 + 12.97) -r- 2 = 10.30. Thus use of the series cycle, would afford a theoretical saving in power of approxi mately one third.
One common fallacy, with respect to complex, systems, is the miscon- . ception that a high evaporator pressure necessarily means a low power requirement. In many instances operating conditions will require use of series evaporators, but in a cycle for which the vapor leaving the higher pressure evaporator must be throttled to the pressure of the low pressure evaporator before entering the compressor, there obviously is no ad- . vantage resulting from the higher operating pressure of the one evapo rator since the refrigerant which it handles must be compressed through the same lift as though both evaporator pressures were the same. Con sideration of this case brings out the fact that the effectiveness of a -complete cycle depends upon the possibility of operating the system with suction vapor, at different pressures. This can be accomplished through use of more than one compressor, or by means of special individual compressor arrangements which permit use of different suction pressures in the opposite ends of a double-acting machine, or introduction of vapor at two different pressures into the cylinder of a dual-effect compressor.
Refrigeration
695
Compound Compression Cycles
In large systems the compression process can be carried out in steps as the refrigerant passes through a number of cylinder ends arranged for operation in series. Thermodynamically the advantage of compound compression arises from the fact that intercoolers can be placed between the stages of compression to extract heat from the vapor and thereby cause the over-all compression process to more closely approach the ideal condition of isothermal compression. Essentially, such intercoolers-- whether of the water or the flash refrigerant type--serve the same purpose as a cooling jacket, but with greater effectiveness because of the more satisfactory heat transfer conditions.
'
Multiple Expansion Valves
>
In the simple saturation cycle the saturated liquid entering the ex pansion valve commences to vaporize as soon as its pressure starts to drop. ' The vapor produced during the expansion process has no further use, in terms of refrigerating effect, since it. has already picked up its latent heat of vaporization as a result of heat which it has extracted from the unvaporized residue. Thus the instant such vapor forms its usefulness is at an end and to allow such material to undergo a further drop in pressure is uneconomical. Unfortunately, however, there is no effective means of extracting vapor continuously during the expansion and re-compressing it. Thus in the simple cycle the flash vapor must necessarily be allowed to drop to evaporator pressure.
When a compound compression cycle is used there is at least one inter mediate pressure at which flash vapor can be extracted. In such cases all refrigerant from the condenser can be dropped through a first expansion valve to the higher suction pressure and the flash vapor then extracted and returned to the compressor. Some of the resultant liquid refrigerant . then passes through the high-pressure evaporator while the remainder proceeds through a second expansion valve in which its pressure is drop ped to the valve corresponding to the low-pressure evaporator.
Pipe Sizes and Friction Losses
The effect on performance of pressure losses in the piping of a refrigerat-
* ing system has already been discussed. In all cases frictional losses should
be kept to a minimum and piping should be selected which will give the
smallest loss consistent with over-all economy of the system. Actual
losses vary, of course, with the physical characteristics of the particular
refrigerants, but, by way of example, data will be given for one of the
refrigerants, dichlorodifluoromethane (F-12) which finds wide use in air
conditioning applications.
Tables 8,'9, and 10 give the pressure loss per 100 ft of piping (including an average number of fittings) for oil-free dichlorodifluoromethane; tabular values should be increased if oil is flowing with the refrigerant. For copper pipe the tables are for type L tubing and are based on the outside diameter.
Common practice fixes suction line velocities between 1,500 and 3,000 fpm while 2,000 to 3,500 fpm is the accepted range for discharged lines. Velocities higher than those indicated-will result in noisy operation while lower velocity in the suction line may result in- the loss of entrained oil. Refrigeration for air conditioning usually involves wide variation in load, /

requiring double suction risers, one large and one small. The large riser should be trapped to insure oil return while the small riser should be sized for a velocity of 3,000 fpm at minimum load; and the large riser then sized to handle the balance of the load at a velocity not less than 2,000 fpm. The total pressure loss in the suction piping, including valve losses, is usually between 2 and 3 psi while hot gas line losses are held to approximately 4 psi and liquid line losses are not greater than 5 psi.
As protection against re-condensation on the cylinder head of the
compressor, a surge drum is sometimes installed' in the discharge line
close to the compressor; this protection is especially desirable on systems'
using evaporative condensers where sun effect during shut-down may be
serious.
.
,,
The Steam Jet Srstem
'
The steam jet system under certain circumstances is desirable for use
in air conditioning *. Steam supplies directly the power used for com
pressing the refrigerant, thus eliminating the losses connected with other
methods of supplying energy.. As the compression ratio between the
evaporator and condenser under normal circumstances is large, the
mechanical efficiency of the equipment is somewhat lower than that of
the positive mechanical type compressor. The condensing water require
ments are considerably greater, as both the refrigerant and the impelling
steam must be condensed.

The steam jet system functions on the principle that water under high
vacuum will vaporize at low temperatures. Steam jet boosters or com
pressors of the type commonly used in power plants for various processes
will produce the necessary low absolute pressure to cause evaporation
of the water.
,
A diagrammatic representation of a typical steam ejector water cooling system is shown in Fig. 2. The figures correspond to an average repre sentative system. The water to be cooled enters the evaporator and is cooled to a temperature corresponding to the vacuum maintained. Because of the high vacuum, a small amount of the water introduced in the evaporator is flashed into steam. As this requires heat, and the only source of heat is the rest of the water in the evaporator tank, this other water is almost instantly cooled to a temperature corresponding to the boiling point determined by the vacuum maintained. The amount of water flashed into steam is a small percentage of the total water circu lated through the evaporator, amounting to approximately li lb per hour per ton of refrigeration developed. The remainder of the water at the desired low temperature is pumped out of the evaporator and used at the point where it is required.
The ejector compresses the vapor which has been flashed in the evapor ator, plus any.entrained air taken from the circulated water, to a some what higher absolute pressure and the vapor and air mix with the impel-

from the ejector into the condenser.
'
The slight amount of air which may be entrained in the cooled water is removed by a small secondary ejector which raises the pressure suffi ciently so that the air can be discharged to the atmosphere. A secondary condenser is then necessary to condense the steam in the secondary jet.
While a single booster of smaller than 15 tons capacity is difficult to build, steam' jet vacuum cooling units have been.built for as small as 5 to 6 tons capacity. They can readily be built for steam pressures of from 5 to 200 lb per square inch and- condenser water temperatures as high as

90 F. The steam consumption in pounds per hour per ton of refrigeration increases rapidly as the booster steam pressure is lowered. For example, the lowering of the booster steam pressure from 200 to 90 lb per square inch results in an increase in steam consumption of approximately 5 per cent, whereas a further decrease in booster steam pressure to 10 lb per square inch increases the steam consumption by approximately 72 per cent oyer that required at 200 lb per square inch.
The capacity of a steam jet system is usually controlled by controlling the number of boosters in use since the unit usually has several boosters operating on the same evaporator. Usually one booster is automatically
700
CHAPTER 39

controlled whereas the others are manually operated. The capacity is dependent, as for all compressors, upon the evaporator temperature, or in other words, the suction pressure. For example,' the capacity is lowered approximately 17 per cent if the evaporator or chilled water temperature is lowered from 50 to 45 F. The capacity therefore can. be controlled to some extent by regulating the evaporator temperature.
The Absorption System
'
The fundamental rule governing the absorption (in a closed system) of. a gas by a liquid is Raoult's Law, which states that at any given tem perature the ratio of the partial pressure of a volatile component in a solution to the vapor pressure of the pure component at the same tem-

weight of absorbent is important because of the heat required to raise the temperature of the mixture and disassociate the refrigerant and the absorbent. Only the latent heat of the refrigerant can be recovered for useful work.
Many refrigerant-absorbent combinations have been proposed and quite a number have been tested. A diagrammatic representation of a typical closed absorption system is outlined in Fig. 3. In this system a mixture of refrigerant and absorbent is evaporated in the generator, passes to an analyzer and rectifier where it is purified, and then to a con denser where the refrigerant and remaining absorbent are condensed. It then passes through an expansion valve to an evaporator, where heat is absorbed from a cooling load. From the evaporator the vapor and resi-
Fig. 2. Diagrammatic Arrangement of Steam Jet Vacuum Cooling Unit
perature is equal to its mol fraction in the solution. The mol fraction in turn is equal to the number of mols of substance divided by the total number of mols present. The number of mols in a given weight of a compound is equal to the weight divided by the molecular weight.
This law applies strictly only to what is known as an ideal solution, one in which the inter-molecular forces between the substances present in the solution are equal. Actually, no such solutions exist, so that deviations from Raoult's Law are always found in practice. The deviation is called positive when the observed pressure is greater than that calculated from Raoult's Law, while the term negative deviation refers to the opposite case. Negative deviations are found wherever chemical attraction exists between the solvent and the solute. Positive deviation occurs when there is a difference in the internal pressure of the components, chemical attraction between them being absent.
In order to make an effective absorption machine, large negative deviations from Raoult's Law must be shown by solutions of the refrig erant in the liquid absorbent, because the larger the negative deviation, the greater is the amount of refrigerant that can be cycled, using a given weight of absorbent. Cycling a large amount of refrigerant for a given
Fig. 3. Closed Absorption System
dual absorbent passes to an absorber where it meets absorbent which is initially low (weak) in refrigerant concentration. The absorbent absorbs the vapor and-the strong absorbent liquor is transferred to the generator through an interchanger with the weak liquor returning from the generator.
A cooling medium, ordinarily water, is used in the absorber to remove the heat of absorption and maintain the absorptive power of the absorber . at a maximum. 1
Like the steam jet system, the absorption system compares most favorably when a cheap source of cooling water and steam or other heat is available. Unlike the steam jet system, the comparative performance ' is usually best with a wide range of temperature between the evaporator and absorber, since with a good refrigerant-absorbent combination, the amount of heat and water required for a given refrigerating effect in creases slowly with an increase of evaporator-condenser temperature range.
At the present time the most used refrigerant-absorbent combinations are: (1) water and ammonia, and (2) dicnloromonofluoromethane and dimethyl ether of tetraethylene glycol. With the latter combination the boiling points of the refrigerant and absorbent are sufficiently wide apart that almost pure refrigerant is obtained without the use of a rectifier.

Ice Systems
.
Cold water systems using ice as the cooling agent have been installed in many theaters, restaurants, funeral homes, churches and other places . where short hours of operation and high peaks of cooling demand make this type of system desirable. A comparatively small quantity of ice in the water cooling tank of such a system can release refrigeration at a relatively rapid rate. For instance, neighborhood theaters having a peak demand of 1,200,000 Btu per hour (100 tons refrigeration) have found 8 ton capacity ice bunkers satisfactory.
In operation, the water in the air conditioning system is circulated oyer ice placed in an insulated box and is cooled to the 38 or 40 F range or higher if desired. This cold water is pumped from the ice bunker to air cooling coils or spray type air washers. The blowers, coils, air washer or air handling sections are the same as those parts in any system employing cold water as a refrigerant.
The ice water cooler or ice bunker is usually built at the installation in
a location where it can easily be iced. It can be constructed of any
desired material such'as concrete, steel, or wood with an adequate amount
of insulation to save the ice from one period of use to the next. The basic
requirement is that the tank be durable and water tight. . A typical
bunker with connections to a coil type air conditioning system is shown
in Fig. 4: About 60 cu ft of gross bunker volume are allowed per ton of
ice capacity.
.
The shape of the bunker usually conforms to the available space. The one illustrated has overhead sprays, but if head-room is lacking the ice is placed on the floor of the bunker with the water returned around the . lower part of the blocks from a perforated distribution pipe run along one side of the bunker. To secure good circulation the supply water is extracted from a similar perforated pipe on the opposite side of the bunker.
The temperature of the water is controlled at a predetermined point by a thermostat in the supply line. If the temperature drops too low, a part of the return water is by-passed directly to the- sump and is n'ot cooled over the ice. In the larger systems it is customary to .install an overflow control which, as the ice melts, discards the excess water through an economizer coil. The surface of the economizer is large in relation to

703
the flow so that the water is warmed to 60 F or more as it is discharged from the system.
Storage Systems
In an attempt to lower initial equipment cost and operating expense,
or increase the refrigeration capacity of an existing air conditioning
system, storage refrigeration has been utilized in a few applications.
Some of the methods which have been adopted include the storage of
refrigeration in the form of chilled water, chilled brine, ice on evaporator
coils2 and the accumulation of thin sheets of ice on copper plates in a
steel tank*. If the peak load factor is low as compared with a long period
of operation, such as in a restaurant, or if the hours of operation are
short but the usage factor high as in a church, then it is possible to con
sider storage refrigeration. This method of accumulating refrigeration
frequently makes it possible to use low cost off-peak electric power.
Power costs may also be reduced by installing a smaller refrigeration
plant, augmented by a storage system, and by operating it for longer
periods.
.-
The Reverse Cycle
.
The reverse cycle--frequently referred to as a heat pump--is identical in theory with the ordinary refrigeration cycle and differs only in the sense that the desired'effect is a heat source rather than a heat sink. Since a condenser delivers more heat than is picked up by the evaporator (it discharges the heat equivalent of work supplied during compression) it follows that the effectiveness of a heat pump, its coefficient of perform ance, is greater than that of a refrigeration cycle operating between the same temperature limits.
In heating by the reverse refrigeration cycle energy is absorbed in an evaporator from some available source of heat, pumped to a higher tem perature and delivered to a condenser 4. The heat from the condenser is used for heating purposes. The compressor acts as a heat pump whose fundamental function is to raise the potential of the heat. The theoretical ratio of the heat delivered to the work of compression, the coefficient of performance, is given in Equation 10.
where
(cop) = lC -- i8
cop = coefficient of performance. r8 = absolute temperature of evaporator. Tc = absolute temperature of condenser.
-.
(10)
Thus; with a small spread of temperature between the evaporator and the condenser, 6 or 8 times as much heat may be obtained theoretically, and 3 to 5 times practically, as the work introduced. There are a number of limitations, however, the most serious of which is the lack of ready availability of a practical source of heat.
1. Well water is the most desirable since its temperature, is higher than other sources
even in the winter, and thus a large amount of heat may be removed in relation to the
weight of water handled.
'
2. Air may be used but its specific heat is low and its temperature uncertain. When ` the most heat is needed, the temperature of the air is lowest, thus resulting in the least
favorable temperature combination.
704
CHAPTER 39
1946 Guide
3. It has been proposed to obtain heat by freezing water but this is still in the experi mental stage.
Some of the other factors which act as limitations are: the large tem perature spread when using airasa source of heat and when attempting to cool with even moderately low outside temperatures, the frequent disparity between the size of the cooling load and heating load requiring extra equipment for a complete heating load, and the relatively high initial cost of equipment as compared to that at present available for heating by conventional means.
Because of these limitations, the present application of the system is largely limited to temperate climates, such as Florida and Southern California, or to heating only for intermediate seasons, or to other locali ties which have peculiar advantages as, for instance, the ready availability
of well water. In these locations it is frequently possible to do all of the heating necessary with the refrigeration equipment so that the extra cost is only that of reversing the functions of the condenser and evaporator.
There are a number of reversed systems now in operation, particularly among utility companies, using well water as the source of heat. These systems range in size up to 320 hp. In the case Of the largest system in operation at present, the cost of the electrical energy would have to be approximately 0.7 cents per kilowatthour in order to compete with oil at 6 cents per gallon.
A typical arrangement of a reversed cycle conditioning system where air is used as a source of heat is shown in Fig. 5. If the air seldom drops below freezing, heat is often required in the morning and cooling during the afternoon in order to maintain comfortable conditions in such a system. The arrangement as shown lends itself to automatically changing over as required. ' .
REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT AND ARRANGEMENTS
Types of Compressors
. There are many different types of compressors, using various refrig erants. Each type has its advantages for its particular application,
Refrigeration

and those generally used for air conditioning are of the following types:
1. Reciprocating compressors (commonly referred to as piston type). 2. Centrifugal compressors.
Reciprocating compressors are available in a wide range of sizes and types. Any of a number of refrigerants, including dichlorodifluoromethane (F-12), methyl chloride, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and sulphur dioxide may be used in reciprocating machines. The first of these is used exten sively in direct expansion systems of comfort air conditioning.
Compressors may be classified into two general types, (a) open type, (b) enclosed type: If the driving mechanism is external to the compressor, then the shaft must be brought out through the crankcase and a shaft seal or stuffing box must be used to prevent escape of the refrigerant. This type of compressor is known as an open-type compressor. When the driving mechanism is located within the crankcase of the compressor in such a way as to avoid the necessity of a shaft seal, the compressor is known as the completely enclosed or hermetically sealed type.
Open-type compressors may be further classified as belt driven and directly connected. A great number of direct-driven units are now being used which generally operate at higher rotational speeds than the beltdriven type. .
The present tendency is toward forced lubrication of the bearings of compressors by means of an oil pump driven from the crankshaft, although there are many splash lubricated compressors on the market. The chief advantages of the forced lubricated compressor are that the lubrication system requires less energy for its operation than the splash type, the oil. can be easily filtered before it enters the bearings, and less oil is usually required.
The compressor capacity must be selected for and matched to the maximum load for the installation on which it is to be used. Air-con ditioning loads, however, vary over a wide range, and a wide fluctuation in air conditions may result during periods of light load if on-and-off control of full compressor capacity is used. To prevent such undesirable fluctuation, several methods are employed to vary the capacity of reciprocating compressors, such as:
.
1. By-passing one or more cylinders, of a multi-cylinder compressor, from discharge
to suction.
.
2. Rendering the suction valves of one or more cylinders of a multi-cylinder compressor inoperative. This is usually accomplished by depressing the suction valves.
3. Varying the speed of the compressor, usually by using variable speed or two-speed electric motors.
4. Using clearance pockets to control the quantity of refrigerant pumped.
5. Restricting the suction inlet to one or more of the cylinders of a multi-cylinder compressor either by an automatic modulating valve or by an on and off valve.
All of these methods, with the exception of variable speed, result in a slightly lowered over-all compressor efficiency when in use, since the mechanical losses remain constant whereas the quantity of refrigerant pumped is lowered.
Centrifugal compressors are used with very low pressure refrigerants; usually both evaporator and condenser work below atmospheric pressure. Water and monofluorotrichloromethane (F-ll) are the refrigerants com monly used in centrifugal machines.
Compression of the refrigerant is accomplished by means of centrifugal

force; therefore, this type of compressor is inherently suitable for large volumes of refrigerant at low pressure differentials. Two or more stages are usually required and high speeds are necessary to obtain good efficiency.
The evaporator is usually constructed as an integral part of the centrif
ugal type condensing unit, to chill water which is then circulated to the
air conditioning system. This is done because it would not be economical
to pipe these large volumes of refrigerant any distance.
' Centrifugal compressors like reciprocating compressors can be divided into two general types, open and enclosed. In general, the open type compressor is geared to the driving mechanism, and operates at higher speed than the driving motor or turbine. A modern completely enclosed direct-driven, centrifugal compressor is illustrated in Fig. 6.
The compressor capacity can be varied by controlling the condensing pressure. This is accomplished by regulating the quantity and tem-

the different types of compressors is shown in Fig. 8. It may be noted that the power required by the reciprocating compressor increases rapidly with increase in condenser temperature, while the power curve for the centrifugal compressor is relatively flat. It is also evident that the capacity of the steam jet compressor is independent of condenser tem perature until a certain point is reached where it drops to zero. As previously stated, steam jet equipment requires more condensing water than other types of compression systems. Consequently, steam jet

perature of the condenser cooling water. The capacity falls off with increasing condensing pressure. Centrifugal compressors are seldom built for less than 50 tons capacity, since it is not practical to make impellers which pump much less than the volume of refrigerant required for this tonnage.
Characteristics of Compression Systems
\
The various types of compression systems have quite different charac teristics of capacity and power with varying evaporator and condenser temperatures, as may be noted from curves in Figs. 7 and 8.
From Fig. 7 it may be observed that power requirements for the centri
fugal compressor increase much more rapidly than for the reciprocating
compressor with increase in evaporator temperature. Similarly, the
capacities of the steam ejector and centrifugal compressors increase more
rapidly than those of the reciprocating compressor with increase in evapor
ator temperature. Thus, both the steam jet and centrifugal machines
tend to be more self-regulating than the reciprocating. It is also evident
from Fig. 7 that the steam jet equipment is best suited for operation at
high evaporator temperatures.
The effect of condenser temperature upon the power and capacity of

systems are well suited to those applications where condensing water is cheap, or where condensing water is rather high in temperature.
Condensers
Condensers used for liquifying the refrigerant are of three general de signs: (1) air cooled, (2) water cooled, and (3) evaporative (combination
air and water).
.
1. Air cooled condensers are seldom used for capacities above 3 tons of refrigeration, unless an adequate water supply is extremely difficult to obtain, as, for instance, in railway air conditioning. Evpn on fractional tonnage installations, air is used as the condensing medium only where water is expensive or where simplicity of installation warrants the higher condensing pressure, and consequent higher power costs than would be
. .
obtained using water as the condensing medium.
The conventional air cooled condenser consists of an extended surface . coil across which air is blown by a fan. The hot discharge gas enters the ' S'
708
CHAPTER 39
1946 Guide
coil at the top and, as it is condensed, flows to a receiver located below the condenser. Air cooled condensers should always be located in a well ventilated space so that the heated air may escape and be replaced by cooled air.
The principal disadvantages of air cooled condensers are the power - required to move the air and the reduction of capacity on hot days. This loss of capacity due to high condensing pressures on hot days requires that equipment of increased capacity be selected to meet the peak load. Thus at normal loads the equipment is oversized.
2. Water cooled condensers are of the double pipe type, the shell and tube type, or the shell and coil type. Double pipe condensers are arranged so
Fig. 8.
Performance Characteristics of Compression Refrigeration Machines at Constant Speed
that water passes through the inner of two concentric pipes and refrigerant
circulates through the annular space between the, pipes. Where possible, .
there should be counter-flow of the refrigerant and the condensing water
to obtain maximum temperature differences. This type is usually used
only with small condensing units.
s
The amount and temperature of the. condensing water determine the condensing temperature and pressure, and indirectly the power required for compression. It is therefore necessary to determine a balance so that the quantity of water insures economical compressor operation.
Because there is a decided tendency to conserve the water in city mains and because most large cities are restricting the use of water for air con ditioning and refrigeration equipment, it is often necessary to install cooling towers or evaporative condensers. Cooling towers, unfortunately, produce the warmest condensing water at the time when the load on the system is greatest, so that the refrigeration equipment must be designed to meet the maximum load at abnormal condensing water temperatures.
Refrigeration
709
If properly designed, this makes little difference in the efficiency of
operation throughout the year except at those times when the condensing
water temperature is highest. As this occurs only for 5 per cent of the
entire cooling period it can be disregarded as ,a factor in establishing
yearly operating costs.
.
The cooling tower has a certain advantage over the use of water from
the city mains. Economies are possible when a cooling tower is used,
which cannot be achieved by the use of condensing water from city mains.
In certain localities, the lowest city water temperature during the
summer months is from 65 to 70 F. This temperature range takes place
for the entire cooling period, regardless of the outdoor temperature.
With a cooling tower, the temperature of the condensing water may rise
to 80 or 85 F under maximum conditions, but under less than maximum
conditions the temperature of the water leaving the cooling tower drops
considerably. It has been established that in these localities during
50 per cent of the time, the outdoor wet-bulb temperature varies from
60 to 70 F and the cooling tower water, for the same periods, varies from
65 to 75 F. When the outdoor wet-bulb temperature drops below 60 F,
which occurs approximately 30 per cent of the time, the condensing water
temperature is still lower. The cost of water used for condensing is small
as the only water required is that used to make up the loss by evaporation
in the cooling tower itself. Refer to the section on Cooling Towers in .
Chapter 37.
.
Shell and coil condensers are in general use for medium sized condensing units, and consist of a coil of tubing mounted inside a shell. The cooling water passes through the coil.
3. Evaporative condensers. Due to the high cost of city water for con
denser purposes, and due to ordinances in some localities prohibiting
the discharge of large quantities of such water into the sewage systems,
there has been developed a condenser which uses a minimum amount of
water on a finned surface, cooling it to approximately the wet-bulb
temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
'
The end view of a typical evaporative condenser is shown in Fig. 9. The fan draws the air over a finned tube condenser which is kept wet by a water spray. The discharge refrigerant gas from the compressor enters the top of the condenser coil and the liquid refrigerant is drained from the bottom of -the coil into a liquid receiver and then circulates through the x remaining portion of the system in the usual way.
The water is circulated through the spray nozzles and the level is maintained in the sump by means of a float valve. The eliminator plates are placed in the path of the water-air mixture so as to remove the entrained water. The air leaving the unit is almost completely saturated, so that care must be taken in locating discharge ducts to prevent con densation.
Evaporative condensers are available in sizes up to 100 tons or more. These units use only a small portion of the water required for a water cooled condenser. The water is vaporized by the heat of the refrigerant so that each pound of water used extracts approximately 1000 Btu from the refrigerant, whereas under standard rating conditions where thewater temperature rise is 20 F, each pound of water extracts only 20 Btu from the refrigerant. Including the water lost by entrainment in the discharge air, by overflow and stand-by evaporation, the water used is about 3 to 5 per cent of the amount that would be required for a water cooled condenser.
710
CHAPTER 39
1946 .Guide
The evaporative condenser requires more maintenance, occupies greater space (must be located where air is available), and has a higher first cost than the water cooled condenser, but where the use of water is restricted
or expensive, the evaporative condenser has become widely accepted. Compared with a water cooled condenser and cooling tower, which com bination uses about the same quantity of water, the evaporative con denser has the advantage of lower cost and smaller space requirements.
Refrigera tion
711,
The magnitude of this pressure is determined by the temperature of the suction gas leaving the evaporator, as the control bulb is attached to the suction line at this point and is at approximately the same temperature. The suction pressure in the evaporator is transmitted through the equal izer tube and exerts an opposing force on the other side of the diaphragm in the direction to close the valve. This pressure corresponds to the tem perature of the boiling refrigerant. The resulting force on the diaphragm is determined by the differential between the temperature of the suction gas and the boiling point of the refrigerant, which is the amount of super heat in the gas. If this temperature differential becomes greater (super heat increases), the resultant force on the diaphragm opens the valve and admits more refrigerant. The reverse is true if the superheat decreases, and the valve partly closes, thus admitting less refrigerant. The spring keeps the valve closed until the resultant force on the diaphragm cor-
Expansion Valves
The thennostatic expansion valve is a device to regulate the flow of liquid refrigerant so that the evaporator will always be used to best advantage. The evaporator coil must be kept as full as possible without any diance of liquid refrigerant entering the suction line. The expansion valve accomplishes this by regulating'the supply , of refrigerant, so that the temperature of the gas leaving the evaporator is always slightly higher than the temperature of the boiling refrigerant inside of it. This difference in temperature between the outgoing (suction) gas and the liquid refrigerant in the evaporator is called the superheat of the gas.
The operation of the thermostatic expansion valve can best be ex
plained by means of a diagram, Figr 10. A small refrigerant charge in the
control bulb exerts a pressure through the tube to the upper side of the
diaphragm, which tends to open the valve.
'
'
Fig. 10. Typical Thermostatic Expansion Valve
responds to the desired superheat. The adjustment of the spring will change the amount of superheat to be maintained in the suction gas.
The selection, of the expansion valve is, of course, determined by the capacity of the valve. The capacity of a valve with a given orifice is determined by the refrigerant used, the differential of pressure across the ' valve, and the amount the liquid is sub-cooled as it enters the valve. The expansion valves are usually rated at zero sub-cooling of the liquid, or 100 per cent , liquid. Frequently special devices are used to properly distribute the refrigerant among the parallel paths of the evaporator. These distributing devices' usually have considerable pressure drop. Where they are used, the pressure drop across the expansion valve is not the difference between suction and discharge pressures, as allowance must be made for the pressure drop across the distributing device. An equal izer connection from the evaporator suction line must be made to the underside of the diaphragm (see Fig. 10) whenever the valve outlet is not at the evaporator pressure' so as to insure suction"pressure at this point. ' When distributing devices are used, this equalizer connection is essential for proper operation of the valve. Another pressure drop allowance must be made for the liquid line, particularly when the liquid line has an appreciable vertical rise.
Whenever possible, expansion valves should be installed in a manner
712
CHAPTER 39
1946 Guide
which will permit placing thermometer wells in the suction connection and allowing sufficient room for free adjustment of the valve.
Evaporators and Coolers
The types of coolers'used in connection with air conditioning work fall into three general groups. The first, is the direct cooling of water; the second, direct cooling of air; and the third, cooling of brine for circulation in a closed system, which can cool either water or air. One method of the direct cooling of water is to install direct expansion coils in the spray chamber so that the water sprayed into the air comes in direct contact with the cooling coils. Another common and efficient method of cooling spray water is to use a Baudelot type of heat absorber where the water flows over direct expansion coils at a rate sufficiently high to give efficient heat transfer from water to refrigerant.
Another type of spray water cooler is the shell and tube heat exchanger in which the refrigerant is expanded into a shell enclosing the tubes through which the water flows. The velocity of the water in the tubes affects the rate of heat transfer, and as the refrigerant is in the shell com pletely surrounding the tubes at all times, good contaqt and a high rate of' heat transfer are insured. The disadvantage of such a system is that with the falling off of load on the compressor the suction temperature or the temperature in the evaporator drops and there is a possibility of freezing the water in the tubes, which, of course, might split the tubes and allow the refrigerant to escape into the water passage. This danger can be eliminated by automatic safety devices. ,, -
Another system of cooling spray water is to submerge coils in the spray collecting tank, or in a separate tank used for storage. The heat trans mission through the walls of the coils, however, is low and a great deal

more surface is required than for any other type of cooler. However, with large storage tanks this type of codling can be utilized to advantage.
When direct cooling of air is employed, the refrigerant is inside the coil and the air passes over it. Cooling depends upon convection and con duction for removing the heat from the air. The type of coil used can be either smooth or finned, the finned coil being more economical in space requirement than the smooth coil. The fins, however, must be far enough apart so as not to retain the moisture which condenses out of the air.
The indirect cooler, where brine is cooled by the refrigerant and the resulting cold brine is used to cool either air or water, introduces several other considerations.' It is not the most economical from a power con sumption standpoint, as it is necessary to cool the brine to a temperature sufficiently low so that there is an appreciable difference between the
Fig. 11.. Compressor and Coil Performance
average brine temperature and that of the substance being cooled. This
requires that the temperature of the refrigerant must be still lower, and
consequently the amount of power required to produce a given amount of
refrigeration increases due to the higher compression ratio. There are
other considerations which make such a system desirable. In the first
place, where a toxic refrigerant is undesirable or cannot be used because,
of fire or other risks, especially in densely populated areas, the brine
can be cooled in an isolated room or building and can then be circulated
through the air conditioning equipment. This arrangement eliminates
any possibility of direct contact between the air and refrigerant.
.
Equipment Selection
.
The selection of proper refrigeration equipment for any air conditioning job is of utmost importance for satisfactory results. The most important factors in the selection of the equipment are: 4
1. Loads (as determined by the conditions of the space to be cooled).
2. Economics (both initial and operating costs).
3. Codes (local safety codes must be adhered to and influence the type of system to be used).
714 .
CHAPTER 39

. A broad division of equipment to be used for a particular installation or
application may be made, on the basis of the magnitude of the load.
Current general practice is outlined in Table'll.
Unit or packaged systems, consisting of a reciprocating. compressor,
condenser, evaporator and fans, are generally used in the smaller sized
jobs where electric power is available, as they are manufactured complete,
ready to install and are the most economical (see Chapter 36).
.
The reciprocating compressor in the built-up central system (see Chapter 43) covers the widest range of application since it is applicable to either the direct expansion or indirect systems and can be driven by steam or gas engines, or by electric motors. The quantity of condensing cooling medium required is also less than for any other system with the exception of the centrifugal compressor, which uses the same amount.
Centrifugal compressors are used for large installations, and usually where the indirect system is. required. The driving mechanism can be

steam turbine or electric motor. The steam jet system is used where steam is available and cooling water can be had in large quantities.
It will be noted by referring to Fig. 7 that all systems using compressors have a common characteristic and that is, that the capacity varies with the evaporating temperature. Not only can the equipment be selected to produce a given result but the performance can be predicted under . varying load conditions by the simple expedient of using, the variable of evaporating temperature as the abscissa arid the load or capacity as the ordinate in a series of curves.
Manufacturers of compressors and cooling coils furnish performance
data for apparatus that can be plotted in the form of curves similar to
those shown in Fig. 11. The performance of a compressor is plotted as a
series of curves, each curve being drawn for a given condensing pressure.
The performance of a direct expansion coil at two different air velocities
is plotted on the same graph. The operating point will be, of course,
where the two curves cross.
. Data given in Table 12 illustrate two types of conditioned enclosures having the same total load of 148,000 Btu per hour, but with two different ratios of sensible to total heat. In the case of the office with a ratio of 82 per cent sensible to total 'heat, the operating point A in Fig. 11 is found to be 42.2 F evaporating temperature with a. face velocity of 500 fpm. In the case of the restaurant, with a ratio of 69.5 per cent sensible to total heat, the air velocity is lowered to 300 fpm and the evaporating ; temperature is lowered to 34.4 F as shown in point B of Fig. 11.

CORRECT air distribution contributes as much or more to the success of a forced air heating, ventilating, cooling or air conditioning system as does any other single, factor. An air conditioning system may deliver
the required quantity of conditioned air and still fail to give satisfactory
room conditions because of poor air distribution. The scope of the chapter
is limited to the air distribution within the conditioned space. Reference
is made to the distributing duct system only insofar as it affects the
performance of the air distribution outlet. See Chapter 41 for informa
tion on air duct design.
'
STANDARDS FOR SATISFACTORY CONDITIONS
Air distribution within a space to, be conditioned consists in producing within the space the proper effective temperature whether for cooling, heating or ventilating. This means that a reasonable uniformity of tem perature, humidity and velocity must be obtained within the zone of occupancy. This zone is'usually the room space between the floor and a plane 6 ft above the floor. Air must have a proper combination of quan tity, temperature, humidity and velocity to satisfy the over-all demands, whether for cooling, heating or ventilating. Any or all of these factors may need to be controlled to produce proper comfort .conditions. Also the quantities delivered to various locations must be proportioned, so that the sections of the area having the highest or lowest load requirements are satisfied. Otherwise some areas will be too Rot, cold, stuffy or drafty, since the effective temperature will be too high or low in these areas.
Other important considerations are dirt and noise.. The use of air
cleaning devices is recommended to prevent or reduce streaking and
smudging of walls and ceilings. Outlets should not increase the noise
above the acceptable level.
'
Reference should be made to Chapter 12, Physiological Principles, for the accepted standards on room temperature, humidity, air motion and direction. Material in Chapter 42, Sound Control, covers acceptable room noise levels and noise generated by air outlets.

MECHANICS OF AIR DISTRIBUTION
In the mechanics of air distribution, two major problems are-involved: '
(1) complete mixing of the primary air and secondary air outside of the
zone of occupancy.in order to reduce the temperature difference and air
motion to acceptable limits before the air enters the occupied zone; and
(2) counteraction of the natural convection and radiation effects within
the room. ' '

' When air is discharged'from an outlet into a free open'space', the . primary air stream entrains room air as it traverses the space. This-

entraining effect increases the cross-sectional area and reduces the velocity
of the resulting air stream. Induction takes place with the conservation
of linear momentum; this has been confirmed by tests which indicate that
the momentum remains almost constant throughout the entire measure-
able length of the air stream. This relationship .may be expressed by the
| Equation 1:
'

Throw

Mathematical statements for throw have been evolved from research1
that have proved the following to be approximately true for outlets having
aspect ratios below 50.
.
1. Residual velocity of an unrestricted air stream is directly proportional to the
outlet velocity.
`
2. Residual velocity is directly proportional to the effective diameter of the outlet.
Effective diameter is defined as a diameter of a circular area (effective area) which
would give the same throw. It is the free area times a constant.
.
3. Residual velocity is inversely proportional to the distance from the outlet.
From these statements the following, equation can be established1.

Jet Pattern From Round or Rectangular Openings in a Large Room
The relation between the shape of the discharge of a jet and the shape of the outlet has long been the subject of research. It has been' proved to be incorrect to assume that the jet retains the outlet shape when it discharges into a free open spacel. Air streams from rectangular outlets having low aspect ratios develop a symmetrical or cone shape appearance within a few diameters from the outlet face. From there on, the jet continues to expand at fairly constant rate. Beyond 20 diameters there is very little difference between round and rectangular jets. The assump-1 tion can be made that the apex of the cone is in the same position for any jet having small aspect ratio. For the more usual problems of the con ventional room with outlets near the ceiling, there are insufficient experi mental data to justify a definite statement on the effect of aspect ratio.
If the round or rectangular opening is divided into a number of orifices
having straight sides, the performance of the air stream will be similar
to that of a plain opening.
'
Velocity Across Jets
'.
-
Results of many tests 1 indicate that the ratio of centerline velocity" to average velocity is about 3, irrespective of outlet size, shape or initial velocity. This statement is true for stream cross-sections located beyond 10 diameters from the outlet, and is fairly accurate for distances up to 50 diameters. Experimental data are lacking for distances beyond 50 diameters.
Guide Vanes "
.
'
, The average jet angle (included angle in both planes, see Fig. 1) for an air stream as it emerges from a rectangular outlet of any shape without spreading vanes is about 19 deg, plus or minus 5 deg, depending on the type of approach, type of outlet and velocity. The spread increases slightly with velocity. A vaned outlet discharging.air uniformly forward
Air Distribution
721
will result in a spread of about 14 deg. This is equivalent to a spread in any direction of about one foot in every 8 ft of blow.
Vanes should have a depth, of one to two times the spacing between the vanes. If the ratio of vane depth to spacing is less than one, effective control by means of the vanes cannot be obtained. Little improvement is obtained by increasing the ratio beyond two. The effect of various types of vanes is as follows. '
Straight Vanes
.
. As mentioned previously, the included angle- between both planes
will be in the neighborhood of 14 deg, for a straight setting of the vanes as
shown in Fig. 1.
.
Diverging Vanes
-
Such vanes set for an angular spread will have'a marked effect on the direction and distance of travel of an air stream, An outlet having 1 vertical vanes set straight forward in the center, with uniformly increasing
Fig. 1. Spread of Air Stream with Various Vanes
angular deflection to a maximum at each end of 45 deg, will produce ah air stream with a horizontal included angle of approximately 60 deg as shown' in Fig. 1. The throw will be reduced one-half for such a vane setting. Increasing the divergence of the vanes reduces the air quantity handled by an outlet for a given duct static pressure. The primary function of the vanes is to spread the air horizontally. Little is gained by spreading the air vertically.
Converging Vanes
The blow of an . outlet may be somewhat increased by converging the.
vanes of an outlet as illustrated in Fig. 1. Even with converging vanes,
the resultant angle of spread of an air stream will not be less than 14 deg.
The air converges for a few feet in front of the outlet, and then diverges
more than if the vanes had been set straight.
....... ...............
Both the horizontal and vertical vanes of an outlet are important. After
an installation has been made, many conditions of draftiness or stuffiness
can be alleviated by some vane adjustment, provided an independent means for regulation of static pressure behind the vanes is included..
Vertical Drop and Rise
\
The vertical distance the' lower edge of an air stream moves between the outlet and the end of the blow is termed the drop or rise (II). This drop or rise is influenced by the difference in density between the air, stream and the room air, resulting from the temperature difference and
722__________

the spread of the air stream. For air emerging at room temperature, the drop or rise will be a function of the spread only and will be-equal to:
' H - L X tan (Spread Angle j
(8)
5 where
`
H = drop due to spread, feet.
L -- throw, feet.

When there is a temperature difference between the air stream and the room, the additional drop.or rise is approximately given by Equation 9:

Effect of Aspect Ratio on Entrainment
- ..
In slotted outlets, the air entrainment, of the primary jet is a function of aspect ratio l. This effect is most pronounced when large changes in . . the ratio are made. A comparison between a slot of aspect ratio 24 and a square opening of the same area is given in curves A and B of Fig. 2. At a distance'of 8 ft from the outlet, the entrainment of the slot is 8.1 as compared with 6.9 for the square, or an increase of about 17 per cent. ' . Curve C shows the further increase in entrainment obtained by using an aspect ratio of 48. Ah increase of 40 per cent is obtained over the 24 in. x 1- in. slot. This indicates that long narrow- slots produce air streams that give high induction of secondary air.
Parallel Slots
'
The use of several slots in parallel to vary the rate of air entrainment . depends mainly on the distance between the slots. If close together, the air pattern is about the same as a.single opening of equal area:. Spac ing the openings farther apart gives an increase in entrainment as shown on curves C, D and E of Fig. 2. It will be notecl.that 2 openings 24 in. x 34 in. located very close together will, obtain an entrainment which is

The air motion in the occupied zone, is usually such that the air travels across the room in reverse direction to the blow of the outlet. The cross-

where F is the room circulation factor expressed in cubic feet per minute per square foot of outlet wall area.

Hence Equation 11 and Table 1 can be used to determine the probable acceptability of a particular installation from the standpoint of proposed air volume, outlet wall area, and grille velocity.
Fig. 3. Throw of Wall Outlets
Outlet Performance
The factors of outlet performance, throw,; drop, capacity, noise, dirt and room air motion place considerable limitations on the design of a satisfactory distribution system.
1. Throw. The throw of wall or ceiling outlets should be selected to cover three-quarters of the distance toward an exposed wall or window as shown in A of Fig. 3. The throw rqpst be sufficient to produce satis factory conditions over the area to be conditioned. In some ceiling" outlets, plaques or similar units, the throw is along, the ceiling. The air tends to hug the ceiling and the throw is increased approximately 20 per cent above the throw of an unrestrained air' stream. Overblowing is considerably more serious than underblowing, as an overblow will create objectionable down drafts from any surface it strikes; although under blowing in the case of heated air may be serious in that the warm air may rise too rapidly and thus cause stratification in the occupied zone. In spaces with beamed ceilings, the outlets should be located below the bottom of the lowest beam level, and preferably low enough so that an upward or arched blow may be employed. The blow should be arched sufficiently to miss the beams and, at the same time, in such a manner as to prevent the primary or induced air stream from striking furniture and obstacles producing objectionable drafts. If an outlet is adjusted down ward to avoid a beam, cold air may enter the zone of occupancy long
'
Air Distribution
725
before the desired induction has taken place, thus causing serious dis
comfort.
.
In ceiling applications, since there is a component downward, the ceiling height and throw are both very important factors. If cold air is used, it must be brought to the proper temperature before entering the zone of occupancy. If perforated plates are used in the ceiling in cooling, the jet velocity must be low. Air slightly above room temperature will usually be properly distributed by outlets selected for cooling. When delivering warm air the stream may be projected downward and the amount of dispersal of the jet varied to get proper mixing and control:
2. Drop. The outlets should be located so that the air stream at .the termination of the blow is not less than 5 or 6 ft above the floor level. As illustrated in B of Fig. 3 the maximum permissible blow for a given ceiling height may be obtained by locating the outlet low on the wall, arching the blow, and sweeping the air across .the flat ceiling. The air, as it traverses'the room, will adhere to the ceiling. The objection to this method is the possible streaking of the ceiling with dirt.
3. Room Air Motion. The factors leading to high air motion are exces sive velocity, high air volume per square foot of. floor area, overblow, striking of beams causing a spilling of the air into the zone of occupancy, and heating in severe climates by means of ceiling outlets which are directed downward. ' .
4. Dirt. Although the primary air may be carefully filtered, dirt from the conditioned space may be deposited on the walls or ceiling wherever there is considerable secondary air motion. With ceiling outlets, dirt streaking may be minimized by cat'bfully controlling the discharge of the outlets^ With wall outlets, dirt streaking may be minimized by pre venting direct impingement of the air on any ceiling or room surface. Floor outlets may offer objection as dirt collectors.
5. Noise. The noise of an outlet is primarily the function of the outlet velocity and size, and secondarily of the outlet construction. The maxi- 1 mum acceptable noise level in a space may completely dictate the permis sible outlet velocities that may be employed. (See Chapter 42 for discussion of permissible room noise levels and noise generated by outlets.)-
6. Capacity. The quantity of air to be handled is determined by the
heating, cooling, or ventilating requirements. Manufacturers' rating
sheets are usually consulted foriselection of the proper number, size and
type of outlets for a given air quantity. The basis of rating used should
be carefully noted to make certain that resulting velocities are suitable
for the type-of occupancy.
.
Ceiling outlets will in general handle more air. per outlet, without objectionable air motion, than either comparable sidewall or floor outlets.
Temperature Differential .
The use of outlets that give rapid mixing permits use of higher supply temperatures for heating and lower supply temperatures for cooling. To facilitate control it is frequently desirable to handle more air at a lesser temperature difference with the room, rather than less air at a greater temperature difference, in order that two areas temporarily loaded . differently will not differ too greatly in temperature.

TYPES OF SUPPLY AND RETURN OPENINGS
Wall type openings are: perforated plates, vaned outlets, registers, slotted outlets, and ejector nozzles.
Perforated Outlets
.
Due to the non-adjustability and small vane ratio perforated sheet
metal outlets, although inexpensive, have not met with favor as wall
type supply, openings. They are useful primarily where directional air
control is unnecessary, and for return air openings.
.
Vaned Outlets
Outlets equipped.with both vertical and horizontal adjustable vanes are particularly suited to sidewall distribution. For proper control over the air flow, the vane ratio should be from 1 to 2. - Outlets with non-adjustable. vanes may be employed but they should only be used where the per- formance is not critical or can be adequately predicted. Vanes should be properly designed to prevent an increase of noise above permissible level.
Registers
..
.-
-
Fixed vanes or perforated grilles equipped with a vane damper are termed registers. They are used primarily for residential heating systems, where the outlet distribution is not critical and low cost is of.importance.
Slotted Outlets
..
Slotted outlets essentially consist of either flat steel plates containing
a number of long narrow slots or a single long narrow slot. In order to
give a good, conversion from static pressure to-velocity pressure, the sides
of the slots are rounded to give a venturi effect. Due to their high aspect
ratio, the slotted outlets have a greater induction effect than the compar
able vaned'outlets of equal area and consequently the throw is reduced.
They are primarily useful where an unobtrusive means of distribution is-
desired, and where it is desirable to submerge the outlets into the room
decoration and to minimize the effect of obstructions in the line of dis-.
charge. They are adaptable to narrow rooms of low ceiling. In this case
the slots are run full -length of the room.
,
Since these outlets offer greater induction at a given noise level, they are useful in obtaining proper air motion under certain design limitations. One disadvantage, however, is that air quantity and distribution must be carefully planned as correction after installation is difficult. . -
Ejector Nozzles
-
'
' Ejector Nozzles refer to outlets which operate at high static pressures,'
which are constructed to give a high conversion from static in the duct
to velocity pressure in the outlet, and which have a high induction
effect due to their high outlet velocity. They are chiefly used for long
throws and industrial process installations, such as drying, freezing,
cooking, etc. Another type of ejector, is sometimes referred to as a lower
nozzle having a 45 to 90 deg elbow, which can be rotated similarly to a
universal joint about an axis perpendicular to the surface to which it is
fastened. These outlets give a considerable degree of adjustability and
are, therefore, desirable for use in confined spaces where spot cooling is
employed:^ "
'/
_.
Air Distribution
727
Ceiling Outlets
s
In ceiling outlets when the jet is circumferential and covers 360 deg,
greater quantities of room air can be handled than is permissible with
comparable side wall outlets, with a given air motion within the occupied-
space. Temperature differentials may be higher than for ordinary side
wall outlets but may not be so high as for outlets with small widely
placed slots.
.
;
Plaques
,
.
When plaques are used, the air from the supply opening impinges against a plate, which, with proper inlet conditions, permits the air to discharge radially. The stream is discharged horizontally in all directions. In certain applications a properly designed plaque yields satisfactory results.
Ceiling Diffusers
\
This type of outlet is a round, or, in some cases, rectangular outlet, which incorporates guide vanes into its construction.
The air pattern is determined from the contour and design of the guide
vanes. In some units the air streams are projected horizontally, the
performance being similar to that of well designed plaques. In others the
air stream is projected downward. Others produce air streams at varying
angles to the ceiling. _
.
"
' Perforated Ceilings..
-
-
This method obtains air diffusion by discharging air through perfor ations in the ceiling, the free area being usually less than 15 per cent. The advantages are appearance and the ready application of sound absorbing material to the design. Also, if- designed properly, this system provides a low rate of room air motion and consequently lends itself to applications having high load or high ventilating requirements. The perforations should be kept free of accumulations of dirt, as clogging will cause uneven distribution. Dirt will also smudge the ceiling. Best results .are obtained in systems having efficient cleaning devices.
In using perforated ceilings for air distribution it is advisable to counter act the wall and glass heat losses by local heating means. - -
Perforated Panels
.. .
Perforated panels are used in some installations, their gross area usually being less than 25 per cent of the ceiling area. A downward,jet pattern is obtained without any directional control. The jet velocities are higher than used in.perforated ceilings, in order to produce proper diffusion.
Air volume is controlled by controlling the static pressure in the
individual plenum chambers that serve the panels.
.
' OUTLET LOCATIONS
In selecting the location of outlets, consideration must be given to the factors of physical construction, physical appearance, location of heating or cooling loads, and outlet performance.
1.The physical construction of a building, particularly of old buildings, immediately places limitations on the type of distribution system which
728
CHAPTER 40
1946 Guide
can be employed. Therefore, the first factor in. the selection of outlet locations is a consideration of the possible location of the supply duct, that is, whether it is above the ceiling, within the walls, through furred spaces above corridors, dr in the conditioned space, etc. A particular method of distribution may be highly desirable but its execution, due to the location of beams and masonry walls, may be an. impossibility:
2. The physical appearance of the outlets should conform to the esthetic appearance of the room. In factories, warehouses, etc., the esthetic demand may not be high; however, in department stores, clubs, theaters, etc., the.location of the grilles may be dictated largely by such demands.
3. The location of heating or cooling loads in a room dictate to a great extent the general location of the outlets. The outlets should be located to neutralize any undesirable cold drafts or radiation effects set up by a concentration of the heating or cooling load. The problem can be divided into' natural loads due to outside weather and internal heat loads.
Natural Heating Load
'
Winter. In winter the primary heating load is caused by exposed walls, ` windows and skylights. Heat is lost primarily through convection to
these exposed surfaces. The convection currents or/cold drafts drop down the exposed surfaces and seriously impair the comfort conditions in ' the room, particularly at the floor level near the exposed, surfaces. The outlets should be located to counteract these down drafts. Two methods may be employed:
1. Direct counteraction of convection currents from cold surfaces can be obtained by locating the outlets to blow upward from beneath windows or exposed walls or to blow across the exposed wall. This method is desir able in small offices or bedrooms, or any location where people are seated or working near exposed surfaces. In rforthern climates, where the outside temperature may be constantly below 40 F, and the construction consists of uninsulated walls and single glass, this method of distribution is parr ticularly useful for the maintenance of comfort requirements.
2: High induction by ceiling or wall outlets may be employed to nullify
the convection currents from exposed surfaces. If outside temperatures
are consistently below 40 F, and the exposed surfaces are not well insu
lated, the induction effort required for neutralization of the down drafts
is so great that the air motion in the room may exceed comfort limits
unless care is taken in selection and location of the outlet. Where
comfort conditions are not critical as in factories for heavy manufacturing,
warehouses, etc., satisfactory results can be obtained even in cold cli
mates. For uninsulated walls and glass areas some supplementary heat
. ing.is recommended. Wall diffusers, direct radiation or warm panels
will satisfy these requirements for supplementary heating.
.
3. The location of exhaust or recirculated air openings at the base of large areas of glass is sometimes effective in reducing cold downdraft into the occupied space. In this case, exhaust air quantity and velocity are important considerations in preventing the spill of cold air off the sill.
Internal Heat Load
.'
If a concentrated source of heat is located at the occupancy level of the room, the heating effect may be countered by blowing the supply air toward the heat source or by locating an exhaust or return grille, ad jacent to the heat source. The latter method will.prove more economical,
Air Distribution
729
as heat will be withdrawn at its source rather than be dissipated into the conditioned space. Where a lighting load is particularly heavy (five watts per square foot) and located high in a conditioned space, it may be economically desirable to locate the outlets below the lighting load. Warm air from the lights will stratify near the ceiling and can be removed by an exhaust or return fan, the former being advisable if the wet-bulb temperature of the air is above the outside temperature, and the latter being preferable if the wet-bulb temperature is below that of the out side air. Either method reduces the requirements for supply air. If the lamps are exposed, less saving can be realized than if enclosed, as a con siderable portion of the total energy is radiant.
Duct Approaches to Outlets
In order to obtain proper direction of flow and distribution of air from outlets it is necessary that the air stream approaching the outlet be of

uniform velocity over the entire duct connection and perpendicular to the face.
Grilles and directional outlets cannot compensatefor improperapproach.
Any attempt to secure a low face velocity and a high duct velocity by
constructing an expanding chamber directly behind the grille is likely to
be, unsuccessful because the enlargement angle in even a straight duct
cannot be greater than 7 deg at each side if the stream is to fill the outlet
without turbulence.
-
In elbow outlets or stack heads at the top of vertical stacks it is neces sary to provide splitters or guide vanes in the elbows regardless of the shape of the elbows whether of rounded, square or expanding types. Cushion chambers at the fop of the stack heads have no beneficial effect.

stack heads expanding from a 14 in. x 6 in. stack to 14 in. x 9 in. outlets,
without grilles. The air velocity for each was 500 7pm in the stack below
the elbow, but the direction of flow and the distribution patterns are
generally indicative of performance obtainable with non-expanding
elbows of similar shapes for a range of velocities 200 to 1400 fpm. Some
of the conclusions drawn from the tests were:
,
1. Experiments with various elbow outlets on the 14 in. x 6 in. vertical stack 3 with
stack air velocities of 200 to 1400 fpm indicated that enlargement of the. outlet area,
whether used in connection with square or rounded elbows, would not reduce either the
angle of discharge (which was 20 to 30 deg above the horizontal) or the outlet velocity.
The effect of the enlargement of the qutlet was mainly to. increase the reverse flow area
in the lower part of the outlet, but in each case enlargement of the outlet reduced the
static pressure in the duct below the elbow..

2; Splitters in the elbows had the effect of dividing the air stream into a number of streams flowing through rounded elbows and therefore lowered the angle of discharge, reduced or eliminated the reverse flow area, and made the outlet velocity quite uniform.
. 3. Turning vanes having 2 in. inner and 1 in. outer radii located in the center of the elbow were found most effective in improving performance in regard to angle of dis charge, outlet velocity, and elimination, of reverse flow area.
. 4. Pressure loss through stack heads may be reduced by use of splitters or turning vanes or by increasing the inner radius of an elbow. Considering the sum of the velocity and static pressure as a measure of the energy required to change the direction of the, air stream and.to deliver the air into the atmosphere, and considering the energy required for a plain fitting as 100 per cent, it -was found that turning vanes dropped the energy requirement of square type stack heads to 45 per cent. Splitters reduced the energy requirement to 90 per cent in long radius elbows and to 74 per cent in short radius turns. . * In expanding heads splitters reduced the energy requirement to 58 per cent..
Side Outlets in Air Ducts
When air is supplied to a room from side outlets in horizontal ducts it is . necessary to use directive devices within.the duct at each outlet in order to obtain a uniform velocity of delivered air and to obtain a direction of flow perpendicular to the face of the outlet. In tests4 conducted with 3 iri. x 10 in., 4 in. x 9 in., and 6 in. x 6 in. outlets in a 6 in. x 20 in. hori zontal duct at duct velocities of 200 to 1400 fpm (in. the 6 in. x 20 in.. section) it was found that multiple curved deflectors produced the best fl6w characteristics. Vertical guide strips in the outlet were not so effective as curved deflectors. A single scoop type deflector at the outlet , did not improve the flow pattern obtained from a plain outlet and was therefore not found to be desirable. Figs. 5 and 6 show the flow patterns and outlet velocities for two 3 in. x 10 in. and two 6 in. x 6 in. outlets respectively, at 500 arid 1100 fpm duct velocities with outlets equipped with 1 in. and 13 in. extensions. The superiority of the multiple curved deflectors and the beneficial effect of the 13 in. extensions is evident.
Throttling Dampers
-
In the case where multiple louvers or single blade dampers are used for throttling, considerable deflection, of the stream may result. This, is particularly true when the fins of the grille core are perpendicular to the damper blades. If the core has sufficient depth and the fins are parallel to the blades, there is a marked tendency to straighten the air stream,. ' although some deflection may still result.
Dampers of special construction, as illustrated in Fig. 7, may be used to . . inaintain a constant direction of blow,- approximate distance of blow,
and constant outlet velocity regardless of the dampens position. The

capacity of dampers diagrammed as A and B will be roughly in proportion to the position of the operating lever. They are particularly effective for cooling work with oversized grilles. The single leaf damper shown as C in Fig. 7 is objectionable in that it frequently results in a condition -, whereby two high velocity jets are created along the sides of the duct, or the air spills immediately downward on the occupants below the outlet.
.. Another important consideration is the increased noise produced by high localized velocities. Obviously, uneven velocities over the outlet will cause the noise level to exceed die values obtained when face veloci ties are equalized. Also, excessive throtding of dampers to balance systems that are poorly designed will increase the noise level.
RETURN AND EXHAUST INTAKES
The factors that control the selection of return and exhaust intakes are: (1) velocity in occupied zone adjacent to intake, (2) permissible pressure drop through intake, (3) noise, and (4) location.
1. Air handled by an exhaust or return intake is drawn from all direc- '
tions* the velocity dropping off rapidly in every direction. The only locality
where drafts, may prove objectionable .is adjacent to the intake. To
prevent excessive air motion in' the occupied space due to the return
system, it is advisable to compute the total air motion toward the exhaust ;
opening as outlined in Equation 10 where A is the exhaust wall area in
square feet. Recommended return intake face velocities are given in
. Table 2.
'
..
The withdrawal of air from a space through a return intake is a minor factor in control of the room air motion. The control of the, room air motion for the maintenance of comfort conditions depends on the proper selection of the supply outlets.. Thus the location of the return intake is not critical, nor the use of an elaborate return system-necessary, provided the air motion in the occupied zone adjacent to the intake does not exceed comfort limits." A single return intake or a few large intakes will prove . satisfactory provided no local high velocity zones are created.

2.. The permissible pressure drop will depend on the choice of the
designer. Table'3 gives pressure drop'through plain lattice intakes as a
function of.free area and face velocity. .
: .. .
3. The problem of noise generated by return intakes is the same as that generated by supply outlets, in computing resultant room noise levels from the operation of an air conditioning system, the return intake must
be included as a part of the total grille area. The major difference, be tween the supply outlets and return intakes is in their frequent instal-
lation at the ear level. When- located at ear level, it is recommended that
the return intake velocity be not in excess of 75 per cent of the maximum
permissible .outlet velocity.
.
. 4. Ceiling locations for outlets are recommended for bars, kitchens,
lavatories, dining rooms, club rooms, etc., where warm air will gravitate to the ceiling level. Ceiling returns arc less desirable in spaces with severewinter exposure, and where stratification of cold air may take place at
the'floor level. During the heating season the-air will tend to. short

circuit between the supply and the ceiling exhaust or return intakes if supply velocities are low.
Some circular ceiling outlets combine the supply and return openings
" in a single unit. The return duct is in the center with the supply pattern
- on the outside. This method gives best results for cooling applications.
. The application for heating is more critical and requires consideration
of ceiling height, amount of outside wall area, and number of air changes
required. In extreme cases, stratification of warm air will cause short
circuiting. Where the wall losses are a small part of the total, little
difficulty is encountered with stratification.
,
Floor locations are used in heating installations for ceiling or side wall supply. When located so that air is drawn across exposed walls, the performance of the system may be somewhat improved. In general, floor locations tend to collect dirt and refuse. * ,
Wall and door locations, depending on their elevation, have the char acteristics of either floor or ceiling returns. In large buildings with many small rooms, the return air may be brought through door grilles or door undercuts into the corridors and then to a common return or exhaust. The pressure drop through door returns should not be excessive; otherwise the air distribution to the room may be seriously unbalanced with the opening or closing of the doors. Outward leakage through doors or windows cannot be counted upon for dependable results. In many cases, particularly in buildings with double glass or hollow glass block walls, forced return and relief systems are essential.
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
The two methods shown in Fig. 8 are suitable for application to theaters, churches, and auditoriums. In small or medium size theaters, it is sometimes practicable to use sidewall or front wall distribution. For the satisfactory operation of such a system during the winter heating period, the returns should preferably be located at the floor level and near

BALANCING SYSTEM
In designing an air conditioning system, it should be the aim of the engineer to so proportion the duct system that proper distribution of air to every supply opening will be obtained. Since this is almost impossible to accomplish in practice, it becomes necessary to have means of balancing

the system to secure the desired amount of air in each space. There are a number of ways in which this may be accomplished, some of which are:
1. Dampers on the supply and return faces. 2. Dampers in the supply and return ducts. 3. Reducing the effective area of some supply openings by blank-offs. 4. Combinations of dampers in both supply and return air.
.
Dampers on the supply faces themselves are objectionable unless of
special design, because of their effect on the air stream and noise. Damp
ers on the return faces are frequently objectionable because of noise. A
damper in the supply duct at some distance back of the supply opening
forms a very satisfactory means of regulating the flow without disturbing
distribution across the supply opening face. A damper in the return air
. duct has the advantage over one immediately behind the face in that it
does not tend to create high localized velocities through the face as the
latter might do if nearly closed. Blank-offs consisting of pieces of sheet
metal covering a portion of the supply opening face are frequently used.'
Results are often unsatisfactory due to high velocity through the remain
ing open portion of the grille. Determination of just what is required is a
matter of experiment, and the balancing of the system is not nearly so
conveniently accomplished as with dampers. Dampers in both supply and
return air form the most flexible means of controlling the supply to the
room and the static pressure within the room. When feasible, these
dampers, particularly those in the supply ducts, should be a substantial
distance from the supply opening, and ahead of the acoustical duct lining
if used. Due consideration should also be given to the use of the several
volume control and' uniform distribution devices now available. . See

THE theoretical resistance of an air handling system can be computed , from the methods and data given in this chapter. The actual resistance for any given installation, however, may vary considerably
from the calculated resistance because of variation in the smoothness of materials, the type of joints used and the ability of the mechanics to fabricate in accordance with the design. It is best to select fans and motors of sufficient size to allow a factor of safety. Volume dampers should be installed in each branch outlet to balance the system, and the
necessary' allowance for this balancing, should be made in calculating
the pressure loss in the system.
.
The flow of air due to.<large pressure differences is most accurately stated by. thermodynamic formulae for air discharge under conditions,
of adiabatic flow, but such formulae are complicated, and the-error, occasioned by the assumption that the gas density remains constant throughout the flow may be considered negligible when only such pressure differences are involved as occur in ordinary heating and ventilating
practice.
''
The rate of flow of air in a duct may be obtained.from Equation 1,
which is developed as Equation. 70 in Chapter 4:
Vm = 1096.5
.
(0
where. Vm = velocity of fluid, feet per minute. hw = velocity head or pressure, inches of water. pa = density of air, pounds per cubic foot.
' ..
.`
For dry air (69.41 F and 29.921 in. Hg barometer) pa = 0.075 lb per cubic foot *. '
Substituting this value in Equation 1:
'.
'
Vm = 1096.5 0*"_------ 4005 -y/ Aw
(2)
The relation of air velocity and velocity head expressed in Equation 2 is shown . diagrammatically in Fig. 1 for dry air at 69.41 F and 29.921 in. Hg barometer.
The drop in pressure in air distributing systems is due to the dynamic .
losses and the friction losses.. The friction losses for turbulent'flow (which .
occur in all practical air flow problems) are due to the friction of air .
against the sides of the duct and to internal friction between air molecules. '
The dynamic losses are those due to the change in the direction or in the
velocity of air flow.
'
. Dynamic losses occur principally at the entrance to the piping, in the elbows, and-wherever- a changein velocity occurs. The. entrance loss is the difference between the actual pressure required to produce flow and the pressure corresponding to the flow produced; it may vary from 0.1 to . x

0.5 times the velocity head. The pressure loss in elbows must also be
allowed for in the design.
,
FRICTION LOSSES
Friction loss in straight ducts is most readily calculated by means of the Air Friction Chart, Fig. 2, which was developed by recent research at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory 2. This chart is constructed from the basic flow equation:
'
; y Af=/-irv
,
where
'
hi = head loss due to friction, in feet of fluid flowing.
I -- length of conduit, feet.
D = inside diameter of conduit, feet.
.
V = fluid velocity, feet per second.
g = acceleration due to gravity, 32.17 fps per second.
,
/ = a non-dimensional friction coefficient which, for ventilation work depends
upon Reynolds Number and the relative roughness of the conduit. Appropriate
.
values of / were taken from'the work of Moody 3.
/
-
. The air friction chart is based on standard air at 29.921 in. of mercury
barometer and 70 F, flowing through average clean round galvanized
metal ducts having approximately 40 joints per 100 ft. For the average
application, it should prove sufficiently accurate, without corrections,
for any air temperature from_50 F to 90 F, for any relative humidity,
and for any normal variation in barometric pressure. For widely varying
air pressures or temperatures or for unusual duct conditions, the friction
values obtained from the chart should be corrected. If precise results are
desired, corrections should be .made by use of Equation 3, with the
appropriate value of the coefficient of friction, /. However, the following
approximate equations2 are presented and will be found sufficiently
accurate for most purposes.

The absolute viscosity of dry air at various temperatures is given in Fig. 3. The effect of relative humidity on viscosity may be neglected.
Example 1. Assume that it is desired to circulate 10,000 cfm of air through 75 ft'of 24 in. diameter pipe. Find 10,000 cfm on the left scale of Fig. 2 and move horizontally right to the diagonal line marked 24 in. The other intersecting diagonal shows that the . velocity in the pipe is 3200 fpm. Directly below the intersection it is found that the fnction per 100 ft is 0.50 in.; then for 75 ft the friction will be 0.75 X 0.50 = 0.38 in. In a like manner any two variables may be determined by *the intersection of the lines representing the other two variables.

Circular Equivalents of Rectangular Ducts `
An air handling system is usually sized first for round ducts and, if rectangular ducts are desired, their sizes are selected to provide air carry ing capacities equivalent^ those of the round ducts originally selected. Table 1 gives directly the rectangular duct sizes equivalent to each size of circular duct in friction and capacity. The values in this table were obtained from- the equation:
d = 1.265 . }/ a + b
-
(7)
where
.
a = one side of rectangular duct feet or inches.
'
b = other side of rectangular duct, feet or inches.
-
'
d = equivalent diameter of round pipe for equal friction per foot of length to carry
the same capacity, feet or.inches.
.
Rectangular'equivalents of round ducts are also, given in the curves of Fig. 4 which are plotted from data based on Equation 7. To use the chart, locate the diagonal curve'giving the diameter of the round duct. The width and height of an equivalent rectangular or square duct may then be read as the abscissa and the ordinate of any point on the curve.
Multiplying or dividing the length of each side of a pipe by a constant is the same as multiplying or dividing the equivalent round size by the same constant. Thus, if the circular equivalent of an 80 x 24-in. duct is required, it will be twice that of a 40 x 12-in. duct, or 2 X 23.3 = 46.6 in.
A comprehensive study of equivalent duct sizes, is to be made by the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory in the near future for the purpose of determining whether Table 1 and Fig- 4 should be revised.
Elbow Friction Losses
It is customary to express the dynamic and friction losses in elbows as equal to a number of diameters of round pipe, or a number of widths of rectangular pipe, or equivalent length of duct4. The curves in Fig. 5 give the number of diameters or widths Of pipe which have a frictional

resistance equivalent to the pressure drop, in the elbows. Curves B and C are based on tests of round and square elbows 6 of ordinary good sheet
metal construction.
Values obtained from Curve A should be used when there is any doubt as to quality of duct construction. It is suggested that tills curve be used for rectangular elbows and five-piece elbows as it will thus allow an ' additional factor of safety without seriously affecting the design.
As indicated in Fig. 5, long radius elbows will offer much less-re
sistance to the flow of air than short radius elbows. Experience has .
shown that good results may be expected when the radius to. the center
. of the elbow is 1.5 times the pipe diameter or duct width parallel-to the
radius. Examination of the curve will indicate that little advantage is to
be gained by selecting elbows having a centerline radius of more than two
diameters6. Elbows having a radius of more than three diameters show a
slightly increased resistance due to the increased length of pipe but, when .
used, they reduce the over-all resistance of the system and therefore should /
not be avoided.
-.
Where space conditions necessitate the use of short radius or miter
elbows in square or rectangular duct work, turning vanes should be used
to reduce the pressure losses. Rough or raw edges on the vanes should be
avoided to prevent objectionable noise. Typical types of vanes are shown
in Table 2 with the total equivalent length of duct that may be used in '
estimating the resistance of each type.
.'
The pressure loss through-elbows of less than 90 deg may be assumed to be directly proportional to the ratio of the angle through which the

The resistance will'vary widely for the large degree turns depending upon the aspect ratio and the length of straight pipe between the elbows,, but for practical purposes, it may be assumed that the ratio remains proportional to the angle through which . the turn is made. Reverse 90 deg elbow turns should be avoided wherever possible but,

PROPORTIONING THE LOSSES
The entrance loss through the outside air intake louvers will vary with . the design of the louvers and method of connection to the system. The louvers and connecting duct will have a friction resistance of from 0.25 to 1.00 times the velocity pressure. Therefore, the total entrance loss will', vary from 1.25 to 2.00 Aw. Common practice is to use 1.5 Aw for a 75 per cent free area louver with connecting duct haying 15 deg tapered sides. Wherever air passes through a plenum space having a negligible velocity, allowance must be made for the loss in velocity'head. This may be taken as the .velocity head corresponding to the difference in velocities in the plenum, and the duct. Where the ducts are very smooth with long transformation fittings, a regain in static pressure is sometimes allowed,
Fig. 4. Rectangular Equivalents op RouNd Ducts
where used, the, friction indicated in Fig. 5 should be doubled for the second elbow. Additional tests are needed on the loss of pressure in elbows and other types of duct fittings in order to reconcile difference . between values shown in Fig. 5 and results of more recent tests shown in Table.2. A study of this subject will be undertaken at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory for the purpose of obtaining such data.

but ordinary construction does not warrant a consideration of this factor, and it is customary to neglect it. When it is allowed, the regain is esti
mated at one-half the difference between the1 velocity pressure at the
fan outlet and at the last .run of pipe.
' ''
Other losses of pressure occur through the heating units, at the air washer and at air-filters. In the design of an ideal duct system, all , factors should be considered and the air velocities proportioned so that ' the resistance will be practically equal in all ducts regardless of length.
DUCT SIZES
,
Ducts and flues for gravity circulation must be sized so that the friction' loss will not exceed 50 per cent of the available chimney effect due to the temperature and height of the column of heated air. Duct systems for mechanical circulation may be sized so as t<? have much higher pressure losses than gravity systems. The total pressure of these systems is limited to the pressure which the fan will produce.
The general, rules to be followed in the design of a duct system are : -
1. The air should be conveyed as directly as possible at reasonable velocities to obtain
the results desired with greatest economy of power, material and space.
:* .
748
CHAPTER 41

2. Sharp elbows and bends should be avoided unless turning vanes are used.
.
3. Transformation pieces should be made as long as possible. The angle between the
sides and axis of the duct should never exceed 30 deg and, where possible, 15 deg should
be made the maximum.
..
4. Especial care should be taken to maintain a true cross-section and not to restrict the air flow either in transformation pieces or in elbows.
5. Rectangular ducts or flues should be made as nearly square as possible. Good practice limits the ratio between the long side and the short side to 3 to 1. In no case should this ratio exceed 10 to 1.
6. Wherever possible, ducts should be constructed of smooth material such as sheet

dent should be made.

7. The use of furred spaces, spaces between joists, etc., should be avoided unless lined with sheet metal.
Procedure for Duct Design
The general procedure for designing a duct system is outlined in the
several items listed herewith:
'
1. Study the plan of the building and draw in roughly the most convenient system of
ducts, taking cognizance of the building construction, avoiding all obstructions in steel
work and equipment, and at the same time maintaining a simple design.
':
2. Arrange the positions of duct outlets to insure the proper distribution of air.
3. Divide the building into zones and proportion the volume of air necessary for each
zone.
,
..
.
.
.
' 4. Determine the size of each outlet, based on the volume as obtained in the preceding .
paragraph, for the proper outlet velocity'and throw.
..
Air Duct Design
749
5. Calculate the sizes of all main and branch ducts by either of the following two methods:
. Velocity Method. Select the velocity in the various sections, reducing the velo city from the point of leaving the fan to the point of discharge to the room. .In this case the-pressure loss of each section of the duct is calculated separately and the total loss found by adding together the.losses of the various sections of the continuous run.
. Friction Pressure Loss Method. Proportion the duct for equal friction pressure
loss per foot of length.
.
6. Calculate the friction for the duct offering the greatest resistance to the flow of air, which resistance represents the static pressure which must be maintained at the fan outlet or in the plenum space to insure distribution of air in the duct system. The duct having the greatest resistance will usually be that having the longest run, although not necessarily so.
Air Velocities
The air velocities given in Table 3 have been found to give satisfactory results in engineering practice. Where the higher velocities are used, the ducts should be cross-braced to prevent breathing, buckling or vibration,

and should be constructed of heavier gage metal. At the higher velocities it is particularly important to.design the ducts for minimum resistance. As high velocities at one point offset the effect of proper design in all other parts of the system, emphasis should be placed on the importance of air velocities, elbow design, location of dampers, fan connections, grille and register approach connections, and similar details. For industrial buildings, noise is seldom given much consideration, and mairf duct veloci ties as high as 2800 or 3000 fpm are sometimes used but, when these velocities are used, due consideration should be given, to duct design, resistance pressure, fan efficiencies and motor horsepower. For department stores and similar buildings, 2000 to 2200 fpm are sometimes used in main ducts where noise is not objectionable and space conditions warrant it.
Where high velocity diffusing outlets are used, the duct velocity should not be less than the throat velocity of the diffusers, as dynamic losses
750 , -
CHAPTER 41
1946 Guide
occur wherever velocities are stepped up or down. One recent trend'in grille design is toward the use of much higher grille and branch duct velocities. Some installations have been made with velocities,as high as 1600 fpm in branches and through the net area of grilles, but many of these have proven unsatisfactory because of noise and drafts.
Grille manufacturers publish selection tables which size the grilles for volume of air, temperature differential, and distance of throw. In following these, tables, maximums should be avoided and the manner in which the duct connects to the grille should be given careful consideration. Most of the selection tables are based on straight approach to the grille. Elbow connections to supply grilles should be provided with turning vanes to equalize the face velocity. See Chapter 40 for a discussion of grilles.
Fan outlet velocities are discussed in Chapter 32 and will not be dealt
with here except to indicate that fan noises should be given proper
consideration.
.
Main Trunk Ducts
Main trunk ducts with branches are commonly used to convey the air from the fan to the grille or register outlets in preference to. individual ' ducts from the fan to these outlets. The velocities in these ducts and branches vary according to the nature of the installation and the degree of quietness desired. The recommended velocities in Table 3, with good construction, should give satisfactory results.. The maximum velocities indicated should not be used except where noise is not a deciding factor.
Velocity Method

The velocity method of designing a duct system involves the arbitrary selection of velocities for various sections of the duct system with the highest velocities at the fan and progressively lower velocities toward the duct openings to the room. To find the total static pressure against which the fan must operate, the static pressure loss of each section must be calculated separately and the total. loss found by adding the indi vidual losses of the various sections of the run having the highest resis tance. Usually this is the longest run but in some cases a shorter run may have more elbows, transformations, booster heaters, etc., which will cause it to have a higher resistance pressure. This method requires judgment. and experience in choosing the proper velocities to approach equal friction for all lengths of run but many engineers believe that the velocity method is handier to use than other methods and will give satisfactory results for most practical applications. The air velocities given earlier in this chapter are helpful in choosing proper velocities. Adjustable dampers or splitters are used to regulate air quantities delivered.
Equal Friction Method
-
' The equal friction method of design is sometimes preferred because it does not require nearly so much judgment and experience in selecting the proper velocities in the.various sections of a system. The usual procedure in this method of design is to select the main duct velocity to be con sistent with good practice from a standpoint of noise for a particular type .
of building. This velocity should be less than the fan outlet velocity.
All main ducts and branch ducts are sized for equal friction by the. use of
Fig. 2, and Table 1 or Fig. 4.
. "
In.cases where the fain or factory assembled air conditioning unit has a
limited external resistance, it is necessary to divide the available resistance

by the total equivalent length of the longest or most complicated run of
duct to determine the resistance per 100 ft and then to size all ducts at
this resistance value: This will automatically determine the duct veloci
ties and give the desired total duct resistance. A further refinement,
which is sometimes used in large systems, is to size each branch duct so
that it has a resistance equal to the resistance of the main system at the
point of juncture. Even when this refinement is added, regulating,
dampers are recommended in each branch.
. After the duct system is designed the frictional resistance is calculated and tabulated together with the resistance of all component parts. The
fan is then selected for the required volume of air, static pressure and
outlet velocity.
' :
Example. 2. Fig. 6 shows a typical layout of an air distribution system which is
applicable for.ventilation of hotel dining rooms and offices. The volume of air in cubic
feet per minute for. the room is determined on the basis of the number of air changes per
hour required. In the example shown, the room ventilated is a hotel dining room 135 ft .
x ft*. A 73^-min air change (8 air changes per hour) is assumed for proper
ventilation, giving 22,935 cfm as the air required.
.
The free area of the outdoor air inlet is based on a velocity of 1000 fpm or 22,935 -s-
1000 22.94 sq ft. The main duct velocity selected from Table'3 is 1250 fpm which
gives a main duct area of 22,935 -5- 1250 = 18.354 sq ft (60 X 44 in.). From Table 1 a
60 X 44 m. duct is approximately equivalent to 56 in. diameter.
Referring to Fig. 2, a volume of 22,935 cfm through a 56 in. diameter duct gives a
resistance of 0.033 in. per 100 ft. The amount of air to be handled by each section of
pipe is shown in Fig. 6, and by locating each of these values on the 0.033 in. friction line,
the round pipe sizes are obtained and then, referring to Table 1, the equivalent rectan
gular sizes are selected as shown in Table 4.
.
The pressure at the outlets nearest' the fan will'be greater than at the pipes farther along the run so that the former will tend to deliver more than the calculated amount of air. To remedy this condition,'volume regulating dampers should be located at the base

If it is desired to size each branch for equal resistance, the total resistance back to the
point of juncture is calculated and the branch is then sized in a manner similar to that outlined in Example 3.
DUCT CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Straight sections of round duct are usually formed by rolling the sheets to the proper radius and grooving the longitudinal seam. Rectangular ducts are generally constructed by breaking the corners and grooving the longitudinal seam, although some fabricators still use the standing seam due to lack of equipment. Elbows and transformation sections are gener ally formed with Pittsburgh corner seams because this seam is easier to lock in place than the double seam, but complicated fittings such as double compounded elbows are usually constructed with- double seam corners. The construction of these various seams as well as the types of girth connections are shown in Fig. 7. ,The application of the various slips and connections is outlined in Table 5. The end slip may be used wherever S slips are recommended. Where drive slips are used the end slip may be applied on the narrow side of the duct and the drive slips on only the maximum side. Ducts 25 to 30 in. in size should be reinforced between the joints, but not necessarily at the joint. Ducts 31 in. and up should be reinforced at the joint and between the joints; if drive slips are used the angles are usually riveted to the duct about 2 in. from the slips. It is good practice to cross-break or kink all flat surfaces to prevent vibration or' buckling due to the air flow and accompanying variations in internal pressure. Round ducts are sometimes swedged 1.5 in. from the ends so that the larger end. will butt against the swedge and are held in place with sheet metal screws. Where swedges are not used it is general practice to paste the joint with asbestos paper to insure a tight joint.
The construction of elbows and changes of shape cannot be definitely
outlined because of the varied conditions, encountered in the field, but in
general long radius elbows and gradual changes in shape tend to maintain
uniform velocities accompanied by decreased turbulence, lower resistance
and a minimum of noise.
.
Heavy canvas connections (asbestos cloth if there is a fire hazard) are recommended on both the inlet and outlet to all fans. The fan discharge connections shown in Fig. 7 are marked good, fair, and poor in the order of the amount of turbulence produced. An inspection of the heater con nections shown in Fig. 7 will readily show that uniform velocity through the heater cannot be expected in the diagram noted poor. When obstruc-' tions cannot be avoided; the duct area should never be decreased more than 10 per cent and then a streamlined collar should be used. Larger obstructions require an increase in the duct size in order to maintain as nearly uniform velocity as possible. Branch take-offs should always be arranged to cut or slice into the air stream in order to reduce as far as possible the losses in velocity head.

IN ventilating and air conditioning a building or a room, the effect of the mechanical system employed must be considered" on the acoustics of the space conditioned. It is important to consider also that the use of air conditioning often permits keeping the windows closed, thus giving, relief from certain external noises, but at the same time increasing the necessity of providing adequate sound control.
It is assumed that in a given space the architect and acoustical engineer have produced a room or rooms which are satisfactory for speech, music, or other uses. The ventilating engineer's sole function is to ventilate and air condition these rooms properly so that they will be physically comfortable without adding any acoustical hazards.
UNIT OF NOISE MEASUREMENT
According to an international standard, two terms.are used for noise measurement. The decibel (db) is the physical unit for expressing in tensity or pressure levels. The phon is the unit of loudness level. The loudness level, in phons, of any sound is by definition equal to the in tensity level in decibels of a thousand cycle tone which sounds equally loud,
The decibel is defined by the relation N = 10 logio -7-, where N is the
- *o
number of decibels by which the intensity flux Ii exceeds the intensity flux I0. The intensity flux is the measure of the intensity of a sound wave and is defined in terms of watts per square centimeter passing through a unit area of wave front in a freely traveling plane wave. It is usually more convenient to select an arbitrary reference intensity for I0 and express all other intensities in terms of decibels above that level. For this purpose a reference intensity of 10"16 watts per square centimeter has been selected. This intensity is slightly less than the threshold of audibility for the average ear at a frequency of 1,000 cycles per second. This reference level also corresponds to a pressure of 0.0002 dynes per square centimeter for sound in air at usual room temperatures.
A stated sound level in decibels, unless otherwise defined, will thus be, related to a'threshold of 10~16 watts. For example, a level of 60 db above this reference threshold is 10~10 watts. In a similar manner, when sound measurements are given in actual intensity or energy units, they can be converted to decibels by this relation.
Since the decibel is based on a ratio, it can only be employed when related to a reference threshold level as given. Noise levels, which vary with frequency as well as intensity, must not only be related to this reference threshold level, but also to a reference frequency, which is. taken as 1000 cycles. These terms and procedures' may be found in Standards1 published by the American-Standards Association.

APPARATUS FOR MEASURING NOiSE
Since the relative loudness to the ear, rather than the actual physical intensity, is the quantity in which engineers are usually interested, it has . been found necessary to allow for the varying response of the ear at different frequencies in designing noise measuring equipment. It is most satisfactory to measure noise by means of a sound level meter, which usually consists of a microphone, a high gain audio-amplifier, and a recti-, fying milliammeter which will read, directly ini decibels/ This, meter is calibrated to give readings above the standard reference level and usually contains a weighting network to make it less sensitive at those frequencies where the ear is less sensitive. Three types of weighting networks may be . provided. The "A" network is intended to. provide relative frequency sensitivity corresponding to the characteristics of the ear at a loudness' level of 40 decibels. The "B" network is weighted to correspond to the ear characteristic at a loudness level of 70 decibels. The meter may also be provided with a "flat" network which provides ho weighting by frequency. For complete details on standards for sound.level meters, refer to the information2 published by. the American Standards Association.
GENERAL PROBLEM OF SOUND CONTROL'
As previously stated, the problem confronting the air conditioning
engineer is that of designing a system which will operate without in
creasing the noise level in the conditioned space. To be sure that this is
accomplished, it is necessary: . . .
-
.
1. To determine the noise level existing without the equipment.
'
.
2. To ascertain the . noise level which would exist if the equipment were installed
without sound control.
. ..
3. To provide as a part of the installation sufficient sound control appliances to reduce the noise level substantially to that found in Item 1.
To accomplish this the engineer should have information of three kinds:
1. A knowledge of the noise levels currently considered, acceptable in various rooms in order that he may have a basis on which to proceed.
2. A knowledge of the. nature and intensity of the noise created by the various parts
of the equipment.
'
.
3. A knowledge of how, when necessary, to vary and control the noise level between
the equipment and the conditioned space.
.
In addition, the engineer should have sufficient information to predict the levels produced by noises which may be transmitted by the duct system from one conditioned.space to another or from an outside space to the conditioned space. In either case, the designer must know the prob able noise level at the point where the noise originates: . From: this he can compute the attenuation or transmission loss required in order,to .bring this level down to that required in the conditioned space. If. there, is likelihood of direct transmission through a duct, the attenuation required may be computed as shown on page 763. If the transmission is through dividing walls, it will be necessary to refer to published information on the transmission losses of standard building constructions *:
Information concerning the noise, levels created by ventilating and. air conditioning equipment such as fans, motors, air 'washers,' and similar, items is riot yet on a basis which permits tabular presentation, although certain manufacturers are prepared to offer such data and do state the" noise producing properties of their products.' 'A-sound test code for fans
Sound Control
763
has been developed by the National Association of Fan Manufacturers which uses the flat response network of the sound .level meter. However,
when determining the noise generated by an air distribution system, it is-1 customary to use the noise level of the fan as determined by the weighting network most nearly approaching the noise level of the space. In most _ cases this will be the noise level of the fan as determined on the 40 decibel weighting network. Refer to Table 1 for typical noise levels.
KINDS OF NOISE
To solve a sound problem of this type it is desirable to consider sepa-,
rately the several means by which noise reaches the room: This avoids to
some extent the necessity of knowing the noise level at the source, and'
instead: places the emphasis on ascertaining the level at the point where
the sound enters the room.
The noise introduced into a room or building by ventilating or air
conditioning equipment may be divided into two general kinds depending
on how it reaches the room .with various sub-divisions:
'"
' 1. Noise transmitted through the ducts.
.'
a. From equipment such as sprays, fans, etc.
..
b. From outside, and transmitted through duct walls into air stream.
. c. .From air currents, including eddying noises.
d. Cross talk and cross noises between rooms connected by the same duct system.
e. Noise produced by the grilles.
,
2. Noise transmitted through the building construction. a. From machine mountings as vibration. b. From equipment through room wall surfaces.
.
.v '
The next step in the solution of this problem is to present data and discuss methods whereby solutions to the noise problem can be- obtained . when the allowable room noise level and the path through which the
noise reaches the room are known.
NOISE TRANSMITTED THROUGH DUCTS
. ..Operation of an air. distribution system results in the generation of
noise which may be transmitted through the ducts to the ventilated or
conditioned room. The transmission of this noise may be controlled by
the proper application of sound absorptive- material within the. ducts.
The application of the absorptive riiaterial is a problem in balancing the
room noise level requirements against the intensity, of the noise generated:.
The four steps in the problem are:
1. Determination of acceptable room noise level resulting from the operation of the
equipment.
2. Determination of noise level generated by the equipment.
The difference between items 1 and 2 in decibels is the over-all noise reduction required
between the equipment and the room. In the discussion which follows reduction of
noise will be referred to as attenuation of noise.
-
3. Determination of the natural attenuation of the duct system.
4. Selection of the proper sound treatment for the,duct system.
.
. The difference in decibels between the over-all. attenuation required and the natural
attenuation (3)`is the additional sound attenuation to be provided by absorptive ma terials installed in the duct system or by special constructions designed to absorb.sound.
Experience has shown, for example, that where ventilating requirements permit, intro duction of an expansion chamber or a change in area in the duct will frequently provide .
more reduction in low frequency noise.

DESIGN ROOM NOISE LEVEL

Measurements of noise levels have been observed by several investi
gators in various rooms and locations and are listed in Table 1. The
values given were determined with the air conditioning or ventilation
equipment not in operation, and with all windows and doors closed
simulating the conditions of an actual installation.
.
This is an important consideration, for in offices or stores adjacent to busy thoroughfares the difference between the typical noise level in the

,
bFor train standing in station a level of about 45 db is the maximum which can ordinarily be tolerated.
space with the windows and doors open and closed may be as high as 10 db. Minimum, representative, and maximum levels are given for each
type of space. The values are intended to give the variation with respect to location and not to time, and may be roughly classified by the following:
Minimum loudness refers to: Spaces of expensive construction, typified by double windows, carpeted floors, heavy upholstered furniture, or. acoustically treated walls and ceilings.
Representative loudness refers to: Spaces of average construction and
furnishings which are exposed to external noises typical of the locality
in which the space is usually, found.
.
Sound Control - _____________;^765
Maximum loudness refers to: (1) Any space of. inexpensive construction, and bare, furnishings where noiSe is not an important factor. (2) Spaces in close proximity to very intense street traffic or to intense factory noise.
In general, if the noise level in the space resulting only from the opera tion of the air conditioning equipment is equivalent to or less than the typical level given in Table 1, the installation will prove satisfactory. If the typical level and the equipment level are equal and heard together the resultant level will be 3 db higher than either of them alone.
In some cases it is desirable to keep the equipment noise level in the ventilated or conditioned room at such a value that it actually will not increase the noise level in the room to any measureable degree. This can be accomplished if the equipment noise at the room can be kept 10 db below the noise levels shown in Table 1.
NOISE GENERATED BY FANS
Noise generated by fan wheels may be divided into two classifications, rotational noise and vortex noise. In' ventilation and air conditioning
work, where the maximum ratio between the fan tip speed and the velocity of sound is not greater than 0.12, vortex noise is by far the most important. The rotational noise may be described as that due to the thrust and torque applied to the air. Vortex noise is that due to the shedding of vortices from the blade and is dependent on the angle of attack, velocity, air turbulence, and blade shape. Vortex noise is due to pressure variations on the blade as a result of variations of air circulation. Given the noise level at the outlet or inlet of one type of fan construction under specific conditions of size, tip speed, and total pressure, noise levels at other values of tip speed, total pressure, and size may be approximated by the relationships:
1. For constant size and point of rating, the noise level of a fan will increase with
increasing speed. -
db (change) = 55 logs,
U)
2. For constant pressure and tip speed, the noise level of a given type of fan will
increase with increasing fan size.
'
. db (change) = 20 logit,
' (2)
Fan size refers to wheel diameter, housing height or some dimension that is directly
proportional to lineal units. Fan sizes based on arbitrary systems or systems of preferred
numbers have no significance.
.
The noise of a given fan is not constant at constant speed if the air delivery changes due to change of resistance. In general, a backward curved blade fan is lowest in noise at or near the point of maximum . efficiency; a forward curved blade fan at or between the point of maximum efficiency and shut-off; an axial flow fan at or between the point of maxi mum efficiency and free delivery.. The noise level of a double width fan

` NAT, URAL ATTEN- JUATION OF DUCT SYSTEM ' .
Straight Sheet Metal Ducts. The attenuation of sound in straight sheet
metal ducts is a function of the length, shape, and size of the duct4.
. Attenuation values are given in Table 2. In general, this attenuation is
' so negligible except for long runs that it may be disregarded for all
practical purposes.
Elbows and Transformations. Due to reflective interference, attenua-
. tion'will take place,at elbows and transformations. The magnitude of
the attenuation will depend on the size and abruptness of the elbow or
transformation as shown in.Table 3.
.
When the area of a duct increases abruptly, an attenuation of noise
' level takes place in the duct. In duct design practice the total area of
' the branch ducts is greater than the supply duct! Similarly with outlets,
the area of the outlet plus the area of the duct after the outlet is greater
, than the duct area before the outlet. Therefore in an outlet run, attenu
ation occurs in the duct sis it passes each outlet. Table 4 gives the db
reduction for various ratios of total branch duct and outlet area to supply
duct area.
,
Grilles to Room. The large abrupt change in area between the grilles and the surfaces within a room results in. an appreciable noise attenuation. This attenuation is a function of the total-grille area (supply and return) and the total sound absorption of the room in sabines. (The sound absorp tion of a room-in sabines is the summation of the products of each surface of the room measured in square feet multiplied by its corresponding absorption coefficient). The attenuation is given in' Equation 3 as:

alternating sound waves. As the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the
pores to their interior surface is small, the resistance to the movement of -
air in the pores is large. This viscous resistance within the pores of the
material converts a portion of the sound energy into heat. The decimal.
fraction representing the absorbed portion of the incident sound wave is
called the absorption coefficient. Considerable absorption may also
result, particularly in the low frequency range; from the flexural vibra-
tions of the duct. In the selection and application of the absorptive
material, several points should be considered. .
.
1. For the absorption "of the low frequencies below 500 cycles;per second the material should be at least 1 to 2 in. thick. Thin materials, particularly when mounted on hard solid surfaces, will absorb the high frequencies and reflect the low. . ' .
2. Tn order to provide as much low frequency noise absorption as possible by means

of flexural vibration, it is desirable to fasten the absorptive panels discontinuously. This result may be attained to some extent by spot cementing, but better results are obtained when it is possible to fasten the absorptive panels to furring strips, leaving an air space behind. However, the exact resonance characteristics of the panels, and thus their absorption, are so unpredictable that flexural vibration cannot be relied upon for a specific value of attenuation.
Requirements for a good sound absorption material are: (1) high absorption at low frequencies6, (2) adequate strength to avoid breakage, (3) fire resistance and compliance with national and local code require ments, (4) low moisture absorption, (5) freedom from attack by bacteria and algae, (6) low surface coefficient of friction; (7) particles should not fray off at the higher design velocities, and (8) freedom from odor when either dry or wet.
- With every application the use of sound absorptive material should be considered in the dual function of insu|ation and sound absorption. It has been shown theoretically 6 that the reduction, in decibels per linear foot, of sound transmitted through a duct lined with sound absorbing material is related in a rather complicated manner to the size and shape of the duct, to the frequency of the sound, and to the sound absorbing char-
Fig. 1. Absorption Plenums With and Without Sound Cells
acteristics of the lining. Experimental evidence likewise indicates that ` there is no simple formula involving the variables which will apply accurately to all cases. However, it may be stated generally that the attenuation in decibels at a given frequency is directly proportional to the length of lined duct. It decreases as the cross-sectional area increases, and ' increases as the aspect ratio is increased. , s
The noise reduction varies to a considerable extent with the frequency of the sound. In calculating noise reduction, consideration should be given both to the comparative efficiency of the duct lining material at different frequencies, and to the frequency distribution of the noise to be quieted. In the case of fan noise, it is recommended that calculations be based on the frequency 256 cycles, since most of the noise energy is in the region of this frequency. In quieting noise due to air turbulence and eddy currents, in which the high frequencies predominate, the frequency 1024 cycles should be used. '
Since ventilating system noise contains many frequencies, an exception should be noted to the statement above that attenuation in decibels is directly proportional to length of duct. Most sound absorbent materials are more efficient at high frequencies than at low frequencies. In con sequence, the attenuation in the first five or ten feet of lined duct will be greater', because the high, frequencies are being absorbed. Thereafter,

since low frequencies will be predominant, the over-all noise attenuation
will crraHiiallv hp Ipss.
.
.
Acoustic Impedance of Absorptive Materials
In the past five years considerable literature has collected describing
methods of determining the acoustic impedance of sound absorbent
materials and methods of utilizing this quantity for predicting the acoustics of rooms7 and the attenuation of spund in ventilating ducts8.
Acoustic impedance as a concept is derived from electrical circuit theory.
The effect of the sound absorbent sound material upon incident sound
waves is described in terms of a resistive and a reactive component which
may be determined by specifically devised apparatus9.
Generally speaking, however, the use of acoustic impedance theory
involves rather elaborate mathematical calculations, and the improved
accuracy obtained is largely off-set by variations in the materials them
selves and in their methods of mounting. It has been difficult to measure
the acoustic impedance of large areas of material mounted in a manner typical of standard construction. P. E. Sabine 7 concludes that the
assumptions required by acoustic impedance theory make this method of
calculation of no immediate practical advantage in the measurement of .
sound absorption coefficients.
..
Beranek 8 compares results of sound attenuation observed for . rec
tangular ducts lined with absorbent material computed by acoustic impedance theory with data reported by H. J. Sabine10, using the methods
of this chapter. Beranek concludes that the conventional P/A relation
is valid for rectangular ducts not too far from square. His analysis indicates that other cases require more exact theory. However, it seems
questionable whether the improvement in accuracy offered by the im
pedance method overbalances the additional computation time required
and out-weighs other sources of error such as variations between samples
of material.
Plenum Absorption
In systems, where individual ducts are directed to a number of rooms
and sound treatment is required in every duct, a sound absorption plenum
on the. fan discharge as shown in Fig. 1 will often prove the most eco
nomical arrangement. The absorption in the plenum may be approxi
mated by Equation 4.
'

The area of the plenum should be at least ten times as great as the fan discharge area. The plenum should be lined with 2 in. of muslin covered rock wool blanket or 1 in. sound absorbing board preferably nailed to wood strips on the inside of the plenum. With such a lining the plenum

is particularly effective in reducing low frequency fan noise. The absorp
tion of the plenum in sabines is the sum of the products of each interior
area of the plenum measured in square feet multiplied by its corresponding
absorption coefficient.
\
Plate Cells
One of the most economical methods of applying sound absorbent material from the standpoint of both labor and material is the plate cell. The plate cell consists of or 1 in. sound absorbent board, spaced on 2, 3 . or 4 in. centers. The attenuation due to the plate cell may be divided into two parts. There is reflection at each end due to the change in area and the absorption at the ends. Values for this attenuation are given in Table. 6 which depend on the spacing. There is. also attenuation due to absorption of sound within the passages of the cell, which depends on the length and the spacing. The attenuation within the cell for 1 in. board neglecting the end effect is given approximately by Equation 5.

An important objection to the plate cell is the increase in duct cross
sectional area required. Often on the fan discharge, particularly with

cell may be installed with little or no difficulty.

Outlet Sound Absorbers

Outlet sound absorbers are rectangular or plate cells installed directly behind an outlet or they may be the lining of a pan or plaque outlet. They are particularly effective in the elimination of high frequency

-whistles which are generated by air flow in the ducts. They are also employed in large systems with long runs where only a few outlets near the fan require treatment. Frequently outlet cells are the.only means of correcting existing noisy installations, as the duct sections directly behind the outlets may be the only sections accessible for treatment. (See Fig. 2.)

Results of other experiments indicate, however, that Equation 6 may
be in error when applied to other types of duct lining material and to duct'
sizes and shapes outside of the range specified. An empirically derived
' chart11 representing the average experimental data on a number of different
types of materials including the rock wool sheet mentioned as applicable
to Equation 6 is shown in Fig. 3. Since individual materials vary, the
curves in Fig. 3 are given only as representing the best available averages
for duct sizes of square cross-sections from 6x6 in. to 48 x 48 in. As-an
illustration, the dotted lines in the chart show values calculated from
Equation- 6 which indicate that the slope for this particular material is
somewhat different than from the average curves. The curves in Fig. .3,

as well as Equation 6, show that the attenuation in decibels is directly
proportional to the length of duct lined, and that the larger the duct the
greater will be the length which must be lined in order to obtain a given
noise reduction.
.
'
If the length of duct from the main duct to a grille is shorter than the
length of lining indicated by the calculations, this duct may be sub
divided into smaller ducts, as shown in Fig. 4. The increase in noise
reduction thus obtained may be calculated from Equation 7, provided
the^splitters are installed parallel to the long side of the duct:
Rs = Ro 1 o+o where
= reduction with splitters, decibels. Ro = reduction in same length of duct, without splitters, decibels.

When air is introduced into a room through a grille or register at a constant velocity, sound energy is being introduced into the enclosure at a constant rateDue to partial reflection at the boundaries of the en closure, the intensity of sound at any point in the space builds up to some maximum value. In a large room at a point remote from the source of sound (the supply opening) the intensity can be shown to be,substantially proportional to the rate at which sound energy is generated and inversely proportional to the number of sound absorption units (sabines) in the
Fig. 4.
Diagram of Branch Duct Treatment Where Length is Insufficient for Adequate Absorption
Example 1. An air conditioning installation is to be installed in a small theater. Determine the necessary sound treatment for the air distribution system to provide a satisfactory noise level in the theater utilizing these conditions:

Difference between required and natural attenuation, 37 minus 24.5, is 12.5 db. This
attenuation must be supplied by sound treatment in the duct, either in the form of duct
lining or plate cells. `
.`
A similar analysis of the return duct system shows that 15 db attenuation are to be furnished by absorptive material. An inspection of the installation shows that the lining of the plenum on the suction side of the fan would prove' the most economical, where.it would secure the dual function of heat insulation and sound absorption. .
Example 2. A 10 x 20 in. duct is connected to a private office space in a quiet location.
Determine the length of lining necessary to attenuate average fan noise satisfactorily,
using a lining material of a type to which Equation 6 applies, and having an absorption coefficient of 6.40 ait 256 cycles. Assume that the duct is only 12 ft Long as shown in
Fig. 4, and that a 30 db reduction is required in this length.

.
room. It would thus appear that doubling the sound absorption of the room would halve the intensity and result in a noise level decrease of 3 db.
Grille noise is similar in character to fan vortex noise. Knowing the noise level at the face of a grille for a given grijle blade setting, the noise will vary as given inequation 8 where V is the velocity, of theair through the grille. .
db (change) = 55 logio ("p")
(8)
,
For a change in blade setting Equation 9 applies arid in this case the total pressure is measured directly behind the face of the grille. For a typical air conditioning grille the noise level at the grille face may be approximately 48 db with a total pressure behind the grille of 0.1 in.
dt (change) = 27.5 log,. [

. In practice the allowable total sound and the required air flow are usually known, and it is desired to determine the maximum allowable velocity. In comparing sound ratings of various grilles several_ factors must be known if the information is to be properly applied:
1. The threshold intensity on which" the decibel ratings are based.
' 2. The distance from the grille at which data were taken.
3. If stated as loudness level versus velocity for a given grille, the core area (not nominal area) must be known.
4. The sound absorbing characteristics of the test room.
5. Whether or. not corrected for test room loudness level: if not; the room level
(without grille noise) must be known.- "

6. Methods used for recording data. (Characteristics of sound meter).
' Since total loudness and air flow are both functionsof velocity and area, the solution of the problem implies a trial and error method. It has been found possible to present these data with sufficient practical accuracy as a family of uniform curves, as illustrated in Fig. 5, which are based on these assumptions:
' 1. Threshold intensity = 10~'" watts per square centimeter1.,
2. Microphone location 5 ft from lower edge of supply opening on a line downward at ' 45 deg and in a plane bisecting the supply opening perpendicularly.
- 3. Where data are given as loudness level versus velocity, the rating is per square foot
of core area.

4. The room is assumed to have 100 sabines absorption.
5. Plotted data are loudness levels of supply openings only,, correction having been
made for test room level.
-.
6. Data taken with a direct reading sound-level meter with frequency weighing

If the published ratings are in terms of decibels per square foot, cor rection must be made for area to secure the total sound level of supply openings of more or less than one square foot area from Equation 11.
Decibel Addition = 10 logioA

` where

A -- core area, square feet.
'
With Fig. 5 it is possible to find directly the velocity in feet per minute
which will give a predetermined total loudness at a predetermined rate of
flow expressed in cubic feet per minute. The values used are arbitrarily
chosen for,the purpose of discussion and do not necessarily represent data
referring to any particular design of air supply opening. A correction
chart is shown in Fig. 6 for a room having a sound absorption other than
100 sabines.
,
"
- .
Example 3. Determine the core area (see Chapter 40) of an air supply grille which will maintain a noise level of not more than 40 db in a room having 100 sabines of sound absorption, if an air volume of 2400 cfm is required to maintain the proper air con-. ditioning. -
Solution. Assuming a grille noise rating of at least 5 db below the noise level of the room. Fig. 5 shows that the limiting grille velocity for a total loudness of 35 db is about 725 fpm and the core area becomes fixed at 2400.4- 725 or 3.31 sq-ft.
If the room absorption had been greater,- the previously selected velocity of 725 fpm would be safe, since the loudness reduces. If the room absorption had been 200 sabines a correction of plus 1.3 should be made by reference to Fig. 6, and the permissible velocity -. becomes that corresponding to a total loudness of 36.3 or approximately 800 fpm.
If the room had been highly reflective with an absorption of less than 100, the cor- -
Sound Control
775
rection would be much more important. For instance, for a room of 35 sabines a cor
rection of minus 3 db should be made'and the maximum velocity corresponding to the'
32 db total loudness would be approximately 600 fpm.
.
. ,
Where more than one supply opening must be considered, the problem; is more complicated., If a similar supply opening is added in a far corner of a highly absorbent room, the change in noise level at the 5 ft station at the first supply opening is small; however, if the room is small, or highly reverberant or both, the intensity at the 5 ft station may be almost doubled and the noise level increased nearly 3 db thereby. The simplest method of handling this problem is to treat the room as though all the air were being supplied by one supply opening. Thus, if two outlets, each supplying 1000 cfm are used, the value 2000 cfm should be used with
Fig. 5. Although this method may place an unwarranted limit on.velocity when used in a large, room, it is seldom that such a room has a noise level low enough to justify a more complicated though more exact procedure.
In general, return grilles are selected for velocities about half the supply velocity, and when this is done, they may be neglected in sound computa tions. However, if supply and return grilles are the same size, resulting in the same face velocity, they must be treated as two supply openings. That is,, if 1000 cfm are supplied and exhausted, through grilles of the same area, 2000 cfm must be used in the. solution with Fig. 5.
CROSS TRANSMISSION BETWEEN ROOMS
Ducts serving more than one room permit cross talk between the'rooms and should be lined with acoustical .material; Where the rooms are close together and the ducts short, the ducts should be sub-divided to provide
776
CHAPTER 42
1946 Guide
ample acoustical treatment. Lagging material similar in character to acoustical board, when placed on the outside of ducts, serves to prevent
noise originating outside the ducts being carried inside the ducts and into- . ', the air stream.
A case where outside lagging is desirable occurs when ducts originate at the fan in the equipment room and pass through this room on the way to the room being conditioned or ventilated. Unless the ducts are lined some of the mechanical noise from the equipment room air may be trans mitted through the wall of the duct, thus reaching the air stream and be carried into the room.- In such cases, that portion of the duct which is exposed to the sounds in the equipment room should be lagged with material such as cork, pipe covering or other sound damping material to prevent the sound from entering the duct at this point. Numerical data are not available to permit a simple and practical calculating procedure to determine thickness of covering which should be used for this purpose.
Laboratory measurements have shown that the loss through a sheet of No. 22 gage metal is 24 db. When a sheet of rock wool insulation 1 in. thick and weighing 1.4 lb per square foot is added to this, the insulation value is increased to 29 db. In general, however, adding a layer of insulation or pipe covering does not materially increase the sound insula tion value unless the material is dense, or unless it is surfaced with another sound impervious layer such as metal or board. Standard reference books should be consulted for sound insulating properties of various materials. Inside lining material used in the case previously mentioned would serve as an absorber of the sound transmitted through the duct walls, and thus act as a means of preventing the transfer of noise into the air stream. . Inside lining may also be used in ducts to absorb noise which reaches the air stream from equipment such as fans, sprays and coils; noise due to ' eddying currents set up by elbows, dampers and similar obstructions; and noise transmitted from room to room where there is a common duct system.
CONTROLLING VIBRATION FROM MACHINE MOUNTINGS
It is impossible to select equipment which will operate without pro
ducing some mechanical noise and, since the equipment must be mounted
in a building, it is probable that a part of this noise will be transmitted
to the building to such a degree as to make noisy conditions in the rooms
which are to be air conditioned. ' .
-
Much of this noise may be transmitted by the duct if it is rigidly con
nected to the fan outlet. It is common practice to make the connection
between the fan and the duct with a canvas sleeve which effectively
restricts noise at this point. Noise may also enter the building through
. the mounting of the motor and the fan. Flexible mountings should be
provided in all installations , but these mountings must be carefully
designed so that they will actually reduce the energy transmitted between
the machinery and the supporting floor. If a flexible material is used, it
is desirable to investigate the installation so that it is not short-circuited
by through bolts which are improperly insulated and by electrical conduit
which is not properly broken and is attached both to the equipment and
to the building. The flexible mounting, if improperly engineered, may
actually increase the energy transmitted between the equipment and the
. floor upon which it is supported.
'
-In the proper isolation of vibration, which is usually in the lower range . of frequencies and does not include the airborne vibrations known as
Sound Control
777
sound, there is one basic formula which is important in the solution of the
problem. It is the formula of transmissibility as governed by the ,
equation:
.
where T = transmissibility of the support. / = frequency of the vibratory force. /n = natural frequency of the machine unit on its support (Damping = 0).
Equation 12 shows that the transmissibility approaches unity for disturbing frequencies considerably lower than the natural frequency of the mounting. As the disturbing frequency is increased the transmis
sibility is also increased until at the resonant frequency, where / = /,, the transmissibility becomes infinite. This is not true in practice because
all materials have some internal damping effect. However, operating at or very close to the resonant frequency is always serious as forces and
stresses may be multiplied 10 to 100 times. As the disturbing frequency
becomes greater than the natural frequency the transmissibility becomes
a smaller quantity and at the value of //fn =
it again has the value
of unity. Beyond, this point true isolation is first accomplished. At a ratio of 3 to 1 for / to f,, the isolation is effective enough for practical application, and experience and economical design have shown that a ratio of 5 to 1 is good. For high speeds, higher ratios for / to /,, are easily
attained and give better results for effective vibration control, but for the lower speeds as experienced with compressor work the higher ratios become uneconomical.
For a given installation the speed of the compressor is fixed by. the specifications, therefore the value of/ is fixed. That leaves only/n to be determined and that is accomplished by the choice of mounting material and design for the support of the machine. It is well to keep in mind that when trying to isolate vibration, no attempt should be made to isolate the driving and driven piece of equipment separately. The two should be mounted on a rigid frame and then the entire assembly isolated according to the rules presented in this chapter.
The value of /,, can be controlled by the flexibility of the machine support, and when the deflection of the machine support is proportional to the load applied (such as with springs or nearly so with rubber in shear) the value of /,, can be determined by Equation 13.
where
Z -- gravitational constant.
d - static deflection of supporting material. / = frequency of the vibratory force.
`
fn = natural frequency of the machine unit on its support (damping -- 0).
By the use of Equation 13 a set of curves may be plotted as shown in Fig. 7. The first line AB, plotted as the critical frequencies for the various . s'

static deflections, is a curve showing the worst possible conditions or
resonant conditions.
.-
'
Plotting another curve CD,-which is
times curve AB, shows the
area MCDN in which the resilient material or mounting does more harm
than good. Plotting two more curves EF, 3 times curve AB, and GH, 5
times curve AB, shows area EGHF which represents efficient and eco
nomical isolation. Area GPOH is excellent isolation, but for all except the highest speeds becomes rather uneconomical because of the large deflec
tions required.
'

Example 4. An electric motor driven compressor unit is to be isolated. The com
pressor is partially balanced and operates at a speed of 360 rpm. The speed of the motor
is 1160 rpm and is belt connected to the compressor. Total weight of the compressor
and motor is 4500 lb.
'
. Fig. 7. Static Deflection for Various Frequencies
' Solution: The minimum disturbing frequency to be isolated is 360 cydes per minute.
Assume that the desired ratio of forced to natural frequency is 3 as a minimum and that
5 is desired. The desired natural frequency of the mounting is 360 5 = 72 cycles
per minute.
.
. .-
From Fig. 7 a deflection of 7 in. is required to attain a natural frequency of 72 cydes
per minute. This value may be obtained from critical curve AB for 72 cydes or from
- curve GH (5 times critical) for 360.cydes. For the minimum ratio of 3 the .deflection
would be 2.5 in.
,
_,
The next step is to determine the total weight to be supported by the springs. For
low speed partially balanced compressors, it has been found necessary to add a founda
tion weighing 2 to 3 times the weight of the motor and compressor, in order to maintain
the machine movement below. 0.03 in.

Practical application dictates the number of springs to be used, which is based on the design of the machine foundation and the supporting floor structure.. However, it is desirable to design for.at least 8 springs and one or two spares for cases of unknown weights. As many as 50 springs have been used on one installation. The distribution of the springs must be balanced against the masses to be supported, otherwise the, foundation design and supporting structure determine the location of the springs.
The choice of the material used in the design of the resilient mounting
is also important. For the slow-speed type compressor a common speed
found in practice is 360 rpm. For speeds below this, isolation should not
be attempted except under careful supervision. Referring to Fig. 7, it is
found that for 360 rpm the static deflection required for a ratio of f/fn
of 3 to 1 (line EF) is 2.5 in. and fpr a ratio of 5 to 1 (line GH) it is 7 in.
For these values of deflection the only choice of material is the coil spring..
This is also true for speeds up to about 700 rpm. In consideration of the
transverse spring constant (so as to maintain good ratios among the
various degrees of freedom) experience has shown that the spring should
be designed with a working height equal to 1.0 to 1.5 times the outside
diameter. A long spring of small outside diameter has very low transverse
rigidity and therefore requires some additional means of preventing side
drift of the unit and on very sensitive applications this may tend to
destroy the isolation efficiency. For speeds of 700 to 1200 rpm the required
deflections range from 0.22 in. to 1.75 in. For these conditions rubber in
shear serves as a rather satisfactory material if protected from oil. For
speeds higher than 1200 rpm cork specially made for vibration damping
can be applied with good results. These limitations are by no means
absolute, because certain liberties may be taken without impairing the
result if all possible degrees of freedom have been taken into account in
the design of the installation.
.
When a machine unit is properly isolated it will have a definite amount of movement which is determined by the ratio of the unbalanced forces to the total mass of the machine. If this resultant machine movement is too great for the necessary connections or the satisfaction of the customer it can be' reduced only in two ways without destroying the quality of the isolation; first, adding mass or dead weight to the machine (such as concrete) common in the application of low speed, partially balanced machinery; second, accurately balancing (both statically and dynamically) all moving parts so as to eliminate the vibration at the source. This latter method is the best engineering practice and is the modern trend. However, even with well balanced machinery, installed in the vicinity of quiet offices it is usually necessary to properly isolate the equipment to prevent the transmission of vibration likely to pause complaints.
Where limitation of machine movement is desired during the starting and stopping periods, the application of friction or hydraulic damping will serve without seriously interfering with the efficiency of the isolation.

CHAPTER 43
Types of Systems for Ventilating, Heating, Air Conditioning, Factors Involved in Use and Design of Systems, Design Procedure
THE purpose of this chapter is to present a discussion of types of central systems usually encountered, together with a discussion of the factors involved in use and design and an outline of design procedure.
Insofar as this chapter is concerned, a central system is defined as a field assembled apparatus, comprising such elements of equipment as are necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it is designed, and serving one or more conditioned spaces. A factory produced unit, including all the essential items of equipment may be employed as a central system. Unitary equipment is discussed in Chapter 36. Further, this chapter is confined to comfort air conditioning systems as such, and ventilating systems, warm air heating systems, together with central systems of a special nature, are excluded from the discussion.
This chapter assumes a knowledge of all the component parts of a system and the reader is referred specifically to other chapters covering design conditions and physiological principles, cooling and heating loads, spray equipment, heat transfer surface coils, cooling, dehumidification and dehydration, fans, air cleaning devices, refrigeration, air distribution and air duct design, automatic controls and instruments. In addition, the engineer should refer to the Code of Minimum Requirements for Comfort Air Conditioning 1 prepared by the joint committee of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers and the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers, and to national, state or local codes that may apply................
CLASSIFICATION OF SYSTEMS
The generally accepted method of classifying systems is with regard to their function. A given type of system may be changed by the omission of certain of its functions or by the inclusion of others. As an example, a winter air conditioning system, by the omission of humidifying sprays, air cleaning devices, etc., Will become a simple warm air heating system, and by further omissions will become a simple ventilating system. On the other hand, with the inclusion of a dehumidifier with its source of cooling, the system can become a year 'round air conditioning system. The three major types of systems are:
1. Winter Air Conditioning Systems. The function is to ventilate, heat and humidify in winter the spaces under consideration, and provide the desired degree of; air motion and air cleanliness. The equipment required normally consists of a preheater, filters, humidifying sprays or air washer, reheater, fan, distributing ducts, and the necessary manual or automatic means-of control. See Fig. 1.
2 Summer Air Conditioning System's. The function is to ventilate, cool and dehumidify the spaces under consideration and to provide the desired degree of air motion and cleanliness. The normal complement of equipment includes filters, dehumidifier . with its source of cooling, reheaters or by-pass if required, fan, distributing ducts, and the necessary manual or automatic means of control. See Fig. 2. '
3. Year 'Round Air Conditioning Systems. The function is to ventilate, heat and humidify in winter and cool and dehumidify in summer the spaces under consideration, and to provide the desired degree of air motion and cleanliness. The equipment usually comprises preheater, filters, spray or surface dehumidifier, reheaters and by-pass u

required, fan, system of distributing ducts, and necessary means of manual or auto matic control. See Fig. 3.
Items of equipment in the foregoing may, of course, be replaced with others fulfilling the same purpose. As an example, an absorption type dehydrator with an aftercooler may replace a dehumidifier.
Modifications
All of the general types of central systems may be modified in various ' ways. These modifications do not affect the functions of the system. In general, these consist of changes in or additions to the normal complement of equipment, or variations in arrangement and design of equipment and distributing ductwork in order to provide better control of conditions, greater flexibility, or improve the over-all economy and performance of the system. Some of these are applicable to certain systems only, while others are applicable to all types. The most commonly encountered modifications are:
J. Zoning.
a. Separate equipment.
.
i. Reheating or recooling. (See Figs. 4 and 5).
c. Multiple fans with individual by-pass or reheat.
d. Volume control. (See Fig. 8). .
e. Dual duct system. (See Fig. 9).
`
' (See Figs. 6 and 7).
.
2. Induction units. (Low pressure type). (See Fig. 10).
3. Induction units. (High pressure type). (See Fig. 11).
4. Evaporative cooling.
5. Precooling.
6. Sensible cooling with dry coils.
7. The run-around system.
.
. .
There are many other possible modifications and the special require ments of some installations may warrant consideration of these, but space limitations prevent a discussion of all. The modifications mentioned are discussed further in this chapter.
USE OF CENTRAL SYSTEMS
Several factors must be considered in deciding on whether or not to use a central system and in deciding on the type of central system and modifications required. These factors are:
1. Comparative effectiveness.
2. Characteristics and requirements of the load.
3. Space requirements.
4. Initial cost.
'
5. Operating costs and maintenance.
' .
`
The comparative effectiveness of the type of system and modification plays a major part in the choice and is to a large extent affected by the other factors. One great advantage provided by the central system lies ' in its ability to diffuse odors and smoke which may occur in parts of the system, so that the outside air is determined by the average instead of the sum of the peak requirements. However, caution must be used where . 'odors are apt to be objectionable even if greatly diluted. In such cases a positive exhaust to the outdoors or a separate treatment for the particular locality is recommended.' The averaging ability both as to odors and

'
thermal effects of the system is one item to be considered in studying the comparative effectiveness, particularly where adequate zoning is to be provided. Full advantage of diversity and non-simultaneous peak load requirements can be taken in determining the dehumidified air quantity where adequate zoning is provided.
The characteristics and requirements of the load frequently are the deciding factors. Wide, non-simultaneous variations in load between spaces or parts of the same space indicate the necessity of zoning. Isolated spaces having a short time occupancy or brief load duration may be ' handled by units advantageously at times. The occurrence of simultaneous heating and cooling requirements in spaces having the same exposure or on the same zone presents a problem to be studied. Ability to maintain conditions during the intermediate seasons without the use of refrigera tion must be considered at all times, particularly in those applications where a high internal load exists.
The matter of space requirements may rule out one type of system or - another. The avoidance of the use of rentable and usable space for
equipment and ductwork, in office buildings, stores, etc., is most im-

portant since the loss of revenue is directly chargeable to the operating cost of the system. Consideration of the spaces available with respect to the type of system and method of distribution used and their effect on over-all cost is essential.
Initial cost is given first consideration all too frequently. While elaborately designed installations are seldom justifiable, proper con sideration must be given to operating costs and maintenance, performance required, and the life of the system. The increase in cost incurred by suitable zoning can be offset partially by reduced quantities of dehumidi fied air, and partially by reduced refrigeration requirements. In the end it may prove less expensive than an unsatisfactory single zone system. A small increase in initial cost-to provide better access to equipment, better airflow and distribution, and better zoning, usually will pay for
itself-.
Operating costs often receive too little attention. Proper relationship between equipment selected and the load to be carried must be obtained.
Fig. 6. Central System Using Multiple Fans with By-passes and Reheating for Zoning
Cooling systems in general operate at maximum capacity less than 20 per cent of the time and heating systems operate under design conditions but a few days in the year. Good partial load performance is essential for low operation costs. Proper zoning, good arrangement and selection of equipment and type of system all tend to reduce operation costs. Centred systems having the bulk of equipment in a central location properly arranged, and having only the equipment required for zoning distributed through the conditioned space or spaces, will have relatively low main tenance costs. Care must be used to provide ease of access to important equipment and those items requiring servicing.
DESIGN OF SYSTEMS
. Various factors`are to be considered in the design of a central system,
some of which have been touched upon in the foregoing as a modification
or economic factor, while others are a part of the normal design procedure.
These, in the order of usual" occurrence are discussed herewith. For
practical purposes these factors cover Year 'Round Air Conditioning
Systems. Those directly applicable to summer only or winter only sys
tems are to be viewed accordingly.

Design Conditions
Physiological principles and design conditions are covered in Chapter 12.
A detailed study of these'is-beyond the scope of this chapter other than
certain recommendations with regard to their application.
.
Where extreme or unusual outdoor conditions prevail for long periods of time, such as in the tropics, at high altitudes, in regions of extremely low humidities, etc., due allowance must be made for the fact that, the people have become acclimatized, to a certain degree at least, to these conditions and the inside conditions should be selected accordingly.
A change in the inside conditions from a set standard sometimes is warranted from an economic standpoint/ It is possible at times to make substantial savings in initial and operating costs by maintaining a lower

Outdoor Air
Standards affecting the quantity of outdoor air have been established in Chapter 12. These standards relate the minimum amount of outside air to be introduced into the conditioned space for both the number of occupants and the type of occupancy, i.e., people smoking, etc. This, of course, is the common-sense approach to the problem, but there are some cases, such as those spaces having a very low occupancy with regard to the cubical content where mustiness may develop unless a sufficient air change is provided. Where such a condition exists in a few spaces out of several which are being handled by a central system, the averaging ability of the central system may cope with the situation satisfactorily. This is

temperature and- higher humidity in the conditioned space while main
taining the same effective temperature.
.
In winter, the matter of condensation oh windows, walls', etc., is of
extreme importance. Humidities low enough to avoid this should be
maintained, and when it is necessary to carry the higher humidities,
double glass should be used or suitable means of handling the condensa
tion, should be provided.
:'
During intermediate seasons the use of refrigeration as a.source of
cooling may be undesirable from an operating cost standpoint depending
on the local energy rate structure and demand charges. As a result the
- use,of outdoor air, either'directly or indirectly, as a source of coolingmay
be required and. the system may have to operate on-an unusual basis,
with.regard to the temperatures and humidities that can be maintained.;
This situation should be carefully investigated. As a rule, provision
should be made for introducing all outdoor air into the. system during
intermediate seasons.
.
.
.....
.
With regard to outside conditions it must.be noted that where systems are to operate at certain hours of the day only, the outside conditions that
due to the fact that the return air from the particular space is mixed thoroughly with_the return air from all.the other spaces and all the out
side air supplied.
... .
It should be noted that the minimum quantity of outdoor air is affected by infiltration and leakage. Infiltration will reduce the quantity to be introduced by the system, while leakage may have to be offset by an increase in the quantity of outdoor air.
Most summer and year 'round air conditioning systems should be so designed end arranged that a quantity of outside air at least equal to the quantity of cooled or dehumidified air can be taken in when desired. In the intermediate seasons and in the cooling season it is more economical to take all outside air into the dehumidifier when the outdoor air wetbulb temperature is lower than the inside wet-bulb temperature to be maintained.; Also, where using a spray type dehumidifier or air washer, whenever the outdoor wet-bulb temperature is below the apparatus dew point temperature required, the system can be operated on an evaporative cooling basis, dispensing with the need for refrigeration though cooling
may be required. Automatic controls are available for accomplishing this
and on reasonably large systems are justifiable from an economic stand
point. -

Cooling Load
The method of determining the cooling load for a conditioned space or spaces is outlined in Chapter 15. As pointed out therein, many of the items of heat gain are variable and do not reach their maximum values simul taneously. Proper consideration of these peaks and the avoidance of pyramiding these peaks in the cooling load calculations are stressed. Maximum solar heat gain on an east exposure is seldom, coincident with the maximum outdoor wet-bulb.
A large difference in the incidence of the peaks between various spaces or parts of the same space indicates the necessity for zoning.. In a building having an east and west exposure where solar heat gain forms a fair share of the cooling load, the times of their individual peaks are apt to be hours apart, and the peak load of one plus the off peak load of the other will be
Return air

789
In certain types of building construction the effect of solar radiation is still apparent hours after the sun has shifted from that exposure. In other types having,a much- lighter construction, the heat gain due to solar radiation decreases markedly with the passing of the sun. Some walls, having been warmed by the sun, may radiate heat long after the passing of the sun, thus requiring lower inside temperatures to offset the radiant energy.
Storage effect is usually present in some degree. Often it can be utilized to great advantage and it has more than once provided an unknown safety factor. If a space is kept below the design inside temperature for a period of time, the interior walls, floors, furniture and fixtures begin to assume the temperature of the space. Where the period of time is sufficient, the entire mass may reach the room temperature, rather than just the skin or surface of the item. Thus, when a space has been precooled below the
Fig. 9. Central System Using Dual Duct Method of Zoning
substantially less than their combined peak loads. Proper zoning will
permit taking full advantage of this condition or similar conditions of non-simultaneous peaks and will result in a lower total load, reflecting
itself in savings in equipment.
r
A factor, similar in effect and closely related to the non-simultaneous occurrence of peak loads, is diversity. Typ'ical of this is the case of a large department store where the air handling equipment serving a certain
space must be 'sufficient to handle the load created by the throngs of people attending sales in that space. Under such a condition the number
of people in other spaces is usually normal or below. While this means
that the air handling equipment for certain departments must be large enough to cope with the situation, the refrigeration equipment must be
only large enough to handle the average maximum. If a system employ-
ing'zone recirculating fans and a single central fan and dehumidifier were
used, the saving would be reflected in the capacity of the central fan and
dehumidifier. Another example of this diversity is found in an office' building having restaurants and stores of certain types on the first floor
and basement. At noon, when the restaurants and stores are crowded,
the offices are below normal occupancy.

Heat lag should be carefully considered in the cooling load calculations.

design maximum temperature for a period of time prior to the advent of
the peak load, and the heat gain begins to increase to peak conditions,
some of the increase is used in raising the temperature of the furniture,
fixtures, etc., to the design conditions and the cooling load can be reduced
accordingly. However, unless very accurate data with regard to the
mass, surface, specific heat, etc., of the items within the space are avail
able, due caution must be'used in discounting the cooling load for this
storage effect. In the absence of reliable data it is often a matter of
experience rather than calculation.
.
:
Where air conditioning supply and return ducts pass through uncon ditioned spaces there will be a transfer of heat from these spaces to the air in the ducts, even though these ducts are well insulated. An allowance should, be made for this heat gain and included in the heat estimate so that air can be supplied at a temperature low enough to offset the rise caused by this heat gain (see Chapter 41). There will also be some heat gain to the air in ducts passing through conditioned spaces, but since a cooling effect is produced in the space through which the duct passes,
/
HffUl
790
CHAPTER 43

this is not a loss and usually can be compensated for by adjustment of air quantities between the various spaces.
Heating Load
Methods of calculating the heating load are shown in Chapter^ 14. Many of the factors outlined previously under Cooling Load, such as zoning, non-simultaneous peaks, and diversity, apply in the reverse manner due to the heating requirement instead of the cooling requirement. However, these factors enter into the heating load picture from the stand point of control of inside conditions, over-all performance and economy of operation more than from a capacity of equipment standpoint. It is not only necessary to heat a building or space to its design conditions when there is but the merest fraction of normal occupancy, practically no lights, internal heat, or solar radiation, but it is also necessary to provide capacity to heat the building quickly when sudden cold follows relatively warm weather, or after a week-end or holiday shut-down.

to summer cooling in mind. Thus, if the air conditioning apparatus can
be set to take inside air, process it, and return it to the conditioned space
completely saturated at the apparatus dew-point, the cooling load require
ments can be exactly met both as to removal of energy and simultaneous
removal of moisture.
'
,
In actual practice with commercial apparatus, it is rarely possible to obtain complete saturation and there may be several degrees differencebetween- the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures of the,air returned to the conditioned space. This causes no difficulty. In fact, the only special significance of the apparatus dew-point is that, when it exists, it provides
Fig. 12. Diagkau of Mollier Chart Illustrating Example 1
However, in normal operation during week-ends and holidays, buildings are usually kept at a holding temperature to prevent the freezing of services and conserve fuel. In many cases it requires less fuel to keep a building or space at a temperature of 50 to 65 F for some time than to shut the system down and then bring the temperature up again.
Apparatus Dew-Point
. ,
\
'
The method of locating the condition line for a given air conditioning problem has been explained in Chapter 3, Examples 12 and 13. Briefly,
the method consists in estimating the net energy gain (or loss) per hour
and the net moisture gain (or loss) per hour from data on location, ex posure, construction, appliances, occupants, ventilation requirements,, inside and outside design conditions. In computing the quantities of energy and .moisture introduced and displaced by the ventilating air,
only that portion of the ventilating air admitted directly to the con ditioned space is considered. With this understanding, the ratio of the net energy gain (or loss) to the net moisture gain (or loss) determines the.
slope of. the condition line through the state point of the inside air on the.
Mollier Chart.

, The condition line may or may not cross the saturation curve. If it
does, the intersection is called the apparatus dew-point, with application

a convenient control point at which to regulate the operation of the
apparatus, provided complete saturation is attainable.
.
In order to illustrate the effect of incomplete saturation in the conditioning apparatus, consider the cooling load problem of Chapter 3, Example 18. In this problem, 114,510 Btu of energy and 16.018 lb of moisture per hour are to be removed simultaneouslyi - The slope of the condition line is determined by.the ratio q = 114,510 4- 16.018 = 7149 Btu per pound of water and the apparatus dew-point is 58.08 F, as shown in Fig. 12. (Point B). .
But suppose that the air delivered by the apparatus is only 95 per cent saturated. Then the temperature at which the condition line crosses the 95 per cent saturation curve is the proper temperature at which to regulate the apparatus. This temperature is easily found to be 59.65 F dry-biilb temperature (Point A in Fig. 12). Of course, a some what larger, quantity of air will-have'to be recirculated, namely 114^510 -f- (31.514 -- 25.631) = 19,460 lb of dry air per hour, where the enthalpy of the air at 95 per cent saturation on the condition line is 25.631 Btu per pound of dry air and h = 31.514 for the
792
CHAPTER 43

inside air. Only 18,050 lb of dry air had to be recirculated per hour with complete saturation. (Example 13, Chapter 3.)
The supply air must have the capacity to absorb the room sensible
heat gain and the room moisture (latent heat) gain simultaneously and
in the correct ratio. The top portion of Fig. 13 shows the relationship of
sensible heat and latent heat absorbing power of air supplied to an 80 F
room when room relative humidity is 50 per cent2.. On some psychro-
metric charts the line connecting the room condition and the apparatus
dew-point on the saturation line is equivalent to the condition line on
the previously mentioned Mollier Diagram.
-
Most practicing engineers prefer other methods of calculating apparatus dew-point which use one of several forms to express the ratio of room sensible heat gain to room moisture (latent heat) gain. The room latent gain is the heat equivalent, in Btu, of the amount of moisture liberated within the space or introduced to the space. This heat equivalent is approximately equal to the latent heat of vaporization at the apparatus dew-point temperature. Since this is variable, an average value of 1050 Btu per pound of moisture gain may be used without serious error for normal air conditioning calculations, when the room and apparatus dew-point temperatures are above 32 F. Since- the load calculation, particularly the room latent heat gain, is only approximate, it is believed that these approximate methods for calculation of apparatus dew-point are sufficiently accurate for most commercial applications. Several methods are commonly used to express the relation of room sensible heat gain to room latent heat gain and these are described in the following:
Sensible Heat Factor, (SHF). SHF =

Latent Heat Factor, (LHF). LHF =

The sensible heat gain in the room or space must be absorbed by the supply air in order to maintain a given room temperature. Then the following heat balance for-saturated supply air may be written as:

Qm = quantity of supply air, cubic feet per minute, p = density of supply air, pounds per cubic foot.
Cp = specific heat of air, at constant pressure, Btu per (Fahrenheit degree) (pound).
Similarly the latent heat (moisture) gain in the room must be absorbed by the lower moisture content of the supply air in order to maintain a given relative humidity, and writing a heat balance for saturated supply

Hi = room latent heat gain, Btu per hour. Wr = moisture content of room air, pounds per pound of dry air. Wa = moisture content of air, pounds per pound of dry air at apparatus dew-point. Av = heat of vaporization at apparatus dew-point temperature.
Equation 1 shows how to determine the sensible heat factor of the
cooling load. The sensible heat factor of the supply air must equal the
sensible heat factor of the room load in order to maintain design con
ditions.
If a dehumidifier that will produce a saturated condition of leaving air
is used then Equations 6 and 7 may be solved for Hs and Hi and substi
tuted in Equation 1. This for practical purposes can be shown to be
equal to:

is = apparatus dew-point, Fahrenheit degrees.
hr = enthalpy of air at room conditions, room wet-bulb, Btu per pound of dry air.
As = enthalpy of air at apparatus dew-point, Btu per pound of dry air.
Practically, the apparatus dew-point temperature may be defined,
for a cooling coil, as the average coil surface temperature; and for a spray
dehumidifier of commercial design, (where the saturation efficiency
approaches 95 per cent to 100 per cent) as the dew-point of the air leaving
the dehumidifier.
.
Having estimated the room sensible heat factor the problem is reduced to the solving of Equation 8. Since the relation between hs and 4 is
only available in tabular or graphical form, a cut and try or graphical
solution is required. Fig. 14 has been calculated from Equation 8 and,
of course, can be used only for one room dry-bulb temperature, 80 F.
The lower portion of Fig. 13 also gives the apparatus dew-point required
for various sensible heat factors. Note that if air is supplied at any
temperature above the room dew-point, only sensible heat is absorbed
(SHF = 1.0); and that below this point moisture is absorbed in a very
rapidly increasing proportion to sensible heat. A point is finally reached
where the proportion of moisture absorbed to sensible heat absorbed is
practically constant and a lower apparatus dew-point will not remove
a greater proportion of moisture. A room condition can be maintained
if the load sensible heat factor lies on the curve corresponding to the
design room humidity in Fig.-14. For example, if the load SHF was 0.55
for a design room condition of 80 F dry-bulb and 50 per cent relative
'.humidity, it would not be possible to maintain this condition unless reheat

is used to raise the sensible heat factor at least to 0.59. Reheat should be
added in the room, in the supply air duct, or in the dehumidifier after'
the cooling coil or spray section. Reheat is usually supplied by steam
coils or by a hot gas interchanger using the hot discharge gas from the
refrigerating machine.
'
Example 1. From a cooling load analysis of the room as determined in Example 12, Chapter 3, the net sensible and latent heat gain of 114,510 Btu per hour would be called room total heat; the net moisture gain of 16.018 lb per hour, multiplied by the approxi mate value of 1050 Btu per pound of moisture, would be called the room latent heat; namely, 16,820 Btu per hour; and 114,510 -- 16,820 = 97,690 Btu per hour which is

the room sensible heat. Determine the apparatus dew-point if the room conditions to
be maintained are 80 F dry-bulb and 67 F wet-bulb temperature'fSl.l per cent relative
humidity).
,
Solution: From Equation 1 the sensible heat factor is SHF = 97,690 n- 114,510
0.853. Solving Equation 8 by cut and try or by plotting this equation on a curve similar
to that in Fig. 13, the apparatus -dew-point is 58.6 F. The apparatus dew-point is
58.08 F as determined in Example 12 of Chapter 3. This should be sufficiently accurate
for practical applications.
.
.,
In actual practice, with commercial apparatus, complete saturation is 'seldom obtained. Four-row finned coils contact approximately 80 per cent of the air, whereas six-row finned coils contact approximately 95 ' P?r cent f the air. With spray type dehumidifiers of good design the air leaves the dehumidifier at V to 2 deg higher wet-bulb temperature than the spray water leaving the dehumidifier, and the difference between. the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures'leaving the dehumidifier may
Central Systems for Comfort Air Conditioning
795
be 1 deg. A spray'dehumidifier having sufficient length of spray chamber and density of spray, together with proper arrangement of nozzles, may approach absolute saturation very closely..
The slope of the condition line, or the slope of the line on the psychrometric chart connecting the room condition with the apparatus dew-point on the saturation line, determines the ratio of sensible heat absorbing capacity to the moisture absorbing capacity of the supply air. Therefore the room condition can be maintained as long as the supply air tempera ture lies on this line, but a greater volume rate of supply air must be used to satisfy the room load if the coil does not contact. 100 per cent of the air. For a given room load, the same apparatus dew-point wilt be' required whether the coil contacts all the air or only part of the air.
From the point of view of satisfying the given cooling load require ments, the result of air passing through the apparatus without being contacted produces two effects: (1) It increases the air quantity to be passed through the dehumidifier. Thus, if 20 per cent of the air passing through the coil is contacted, then 25 per cent (0.20 -s- 0.80 X 100) more air must be used than would be necessary if all of it were contacted. This is readily seen by examining the heat balance in Equations 6 and 7. (2) It may change the room load which in turn may change the sensible heat factor. If only return air is passed through the dehumidifier or if only room air is by-passed, the room load would not change, but if some outside air is passed through the coil, the room Sensible heat gain and room latent heat gain will be changed due to the addition of untreated outside air to the room, which changes the sensible heat factor. When a load calculation is made, it is necessary to know the pier cent of air con tacted in the cooling coil and calculation made accordingly.
If the ventilation air is drawn through the cooling coil before it goes into the room, only that portion of the air not contacting the coil surface must be included in the room load for the purpose of determining the apparatus dew-point and supply air quantity. It should be noted when evaluating the load added by untreated outside air that the temperature difference between room and outside air and moisture content between room and outside air should be used and not the difference between out-, side air and apparatus dew-point, since the rise from the apparatus dew-point .to room conditions is charged against the dehumidifier as the cooling and dehumidifying load.
In winter, room hupiidities in excess of 30 per cent are seldom required and a low saturating efficiency may be desirable, or even necessary, where the full summer air circulation through the conditioner is maintained. With a spray type dehumidifier the main sprays may be shut off and an eliminator flooding pump provided which may give sufficient saturation. In other cases, such as where.cooling coils are sprayed, the spray water supply may be throttled. - If the saturation efficiency of the sprays is too low, the spray water may be heated. The amount of heat put into the spray water by open or closed water heaters will be equal to that required . to bring the dew-point temperature of the air entering the sprays up to that required before entering the preheater. It is possible, where clean steam is available, to introduce the steam directly into the air stream to produce the desired dew-point temperature of supply air.. However, the steam must be exceptionally clean, or objectionable odors will result. . This precaution should be observed also where open water heaters or
ejector water heaters are used.
796
CHAPTER 43
1946 Guide
Air Quantity and Effective Temperature Difference
The difference between the room air temperature and the supply air temperature at the outlet to the room is known as the effective temperature
difference. In the theoretical case of a dehumidifier having a 100 per cent saturating efficiency and where this air is delivered directly to the room without temperature increases due to heat gain, then the effective tem perature difference is the difference between room temperature and apparatus dew-point temperature. If duct heat gains are considered a part of the room load, this still holds true. The apparatus dew-point, as outlined previously, is fixed by the latent and sensible loads of the space, but in many cases, it is desirable to deliver more air to the spaces than is indicated by the difference between the room temperature and the apparatus dew-point.
It has been indicated that where a percentage of air is passed through the dehumidifier without being treated the relationship was modified in direct proportion, and that if room air passed through untreated no effect on the heat balance resulted. Similarly, if room air is passed around the dehumidifier and mixed with the treated air the . heat balance is not adversely affected. Therefore, if the quantity of air passed through the dehumidifier is determined by the usual methods, room air can be passed around the dehumidifier and mixed with the dehumidified air, increasing the supply air quantity and temperature and decreasing the effective temperature difference. Thus if the difference between the room tem perature and the apparatus dew-point indicates that 10,000 cfm at 30F below room temperature will be required to hold conditions, that quantity can be passed through the dehumidifier and copied to 30 F below the room, then mixed with 10,000 cfm of room air resulting in a supply air quantity of 20,000 cfm and an effective temperature difference of 15 F instead of 30 F. Supply air outlets and grilles that have a high induction ratio (that is, a large amount of room air is mixed with the air leaving the outlet within a short distance of the outlet through the induction effect of the air stream) are available as well as induction units. A proper selection of outlets or units may make it possible to introduce air at low
temperatures and high velocities without causing objectionable drafts or cold spots, but care must be used to see that too little air motion is not a result. Lower effective temperature difference may be required for this reason. While the use of a high effective temperature difference results in a saving in initial cost of fans and ducts and in the operating cost of fans, this difference should be carefully considered. If the sensible heat load of a space is subjected to substantial variations;, lower effective temperature differences should be considered, since systems employing a low effective temperature difference will be less exacting in control requirements.
Assume that a space has a sensible heat load so that 10,000 cfm of air supplied at a 30 F effective temperature difference would be required to
maintain a room temperature of 80 F. If the load is suddenly reduced 50 per cent with the air supplied at the same temperature, the resultant room temperature would become 65 F. On the other hand, if 20,000 cfm were supplied at an effective temperature difference of 15 F and the load suddenly reduced 50 per cent the resultant room temperature would be ' 72.5 F. This, while a rather extreme example, indicates the less exacting -demand on the controls brought about by the use of the lower effective temperature difference. Of even greater importance is the case where two or more spaces are controlled from an average condition such as by a ther mostat located in the return air stream! From the previous example, it
Central Systems for Comfort Air Conditioning
797
can be seen that a large variation in the load in one of the spaces will not reflect itself in such a large change in room temperature. Thus in the long run the larger effective temperature difference may not be the most
economical.
The analysis in the foregoing applies largely to summer air conditioning. The same analysis will apply to some extent in winter. The mathematical relationship is revised due to a heating requirement rather than cooling. Present practice indicates a high temperature difference in winter in com parison to that for summer. It is due to the fact that the heat losses in winter in Btu per hour far exceed the summer heat gains in Btu per hour, and particularly to the fact that in winter, reheating the air. to produce desired room conditions is not reflected as a load on the system as it is in the summer, but merely accomplishes the necessary work.
In line with the latter, reduction of air quantity by slowing down the fans for the winter season and increasing the temperature difference often is feasible, creating a saving in fan horsepower at no expense to the final heat balance, providing the air distribution is not seriously affected.
Extremes should be avoided in all cakes. For summer air conditioning
low supply air temperatures will result in larger heat gains to the air
passing through the ducts, poor control, etc. Too high a supply air tem
perature may result in excessive initial and operating costs. Suggested
limits for the effective temperature difference are from 12 to 20 F, the actual
selection being based on the requirements of the particular case. For
winter air conditioning too high supply air temperatures result in excessive
heat losses from the ducts and stratification within the room unless
thorough mixture is insured, while too low supply air temperatures may
cause drafts, high operating costs, etc. Suggested limits are from 15 to
35 F. There can be no set rule and each case should be judged according
to its particular requirements.
-,
By-Pass
-
The by-pass, in its accepted form, consists of an arrangement of ducts and apparatus connections with the necessary dampers which will permit air to pass around the dehumidifier or conditioner without being treated. It has two functions which may be employed separately or simultaneously.
The first of- these is to provide a means of temperature control at a substantially constant total air quantity. If in summer, the load within the conditioned space is reduced and the temperature begins to fall, this drop in temperature can be offset by passing some of the air around the conditioner instead of through it, while the total quantity of air in circu. lation remains unchanged. When used for this purpose, it is termed an adjustable or automatic by-pass. The second function is to maintain a lower effective temperature difference between the air supplied to the room and the room temperature than could be obtained if air at the apparatus dew-point were supplied, and when so used is called a fixed by-pass. As discussed previously, if return air from the conditioned space is passed around the conditioner and mixed with the conditioned air, the effect on the heat balance is the same as if the air were removed from the space and immediately reintroduced. This is not strictly true, due to the fact that when ducts pass through unconditioned spaces, there is a heat gain by this air, and an additional gain is imposed by the heat of com pression of the circulating fan in moving the air against the resistance of. the system. However, the heat gain, where the by-pass is used to lower the effective temperature difference, usually favors its use due to the fact
798
CHAPTER 43

that the increased volume and the resultant higher temperature of the mixture of conditioned air and room air may show a lower net duct heat gain with a smaller temperature increase per unit of volume of supply air. The advantages thus obtained may offset the increased fan power.
The adjustable or automatic by-pass can be made to serve the purpose of the fixed by-pass by providing a stop on the by-pass damper so that it cannot close completely. In some cases this stop is unnecessary since commercial dampers will permit an air quantity of 10 to 20 per cent of the conditioner capacity, depending on the resistance of the conditioner, to leak through'even when fully closed.
Where a reduction in room sensible heat is not accompanied by a reduction in room latent heat,'the by-pass is to be used with care. If the dew-point temperature of the air leaving the dehumidifier is con trolled at a fixed value the reduced quantity passed through the con ' ditioner may be sufficient to handle the sensible heat load but insufficient to handle the latent heat load, resulting in humidities that are too high. If the dew-point is not controlled, as when cold water is supplied at a constant temperature or where direct expansion cooling coils are used, the reduced loading on the conditioner brought about by the reduced air quantity will result in a lower dew-point temperature which often is entirely adequate. This condition should be investigated in each case.
The by-passing of outdoor air is to be avoided in general. While the sensible heat requirements of the space may be such that the by-passing of high temperature outdoor air will aid in controlling room temperature, high moisture content air introduced to the space may raise the humidity to an objectionable amount. If return ducts frorq which the by-pass air is taken run through unconditioned spaces and there is an inward leakage of outdoor or moist air, the effect, in a lesser degree, is that of by-passing outdoor air. Therefore the location of such return ducts and the points from which such air is taken are of importance. Exceptions to this are where the moisture content of the outdoor air is lower than that of the room, and where the sensible heat to latent ratio increases at partial loads.
The foregoing applies largely to summer air conditioning. In winter
the by-pass usually is kept closed and room temperature control obtained
by means of regulating the amount of heat supplied to the air. In some
instances when the by-pass is located after the reheaters, the operation
of the by-pass damper may be reversed and the by-pass still used as a
means of control with the reheaters full on or operated in sequence with
the by-pass. In other cases the reheater may be located in the by-pass
as described further.
\
The principle of the by-pass may be applied to items of equipment other than conditioners, such as humidifiers, dehydrators, heaters, etc.,' in much the same manner. Where a heater has a capacity such that the temperature rise of the air is higher than desired, a smaller heater may be used and a portion of the air by-passed around the heater. Throttling of the sprays in a humidifier is, in effect, a by-pass since it increases the portion of air passing through without being contacted.
Reheating
,.
Reheating the supply air is necessary inrwinter where this air is usedto offset heat losses. Tempering of the supply air (merely reheating to a lesser degree) is required where other means of heating, such as direct radiation or panel heating, are used to carry the main heating load. Supply air at the required apparatus dew-point would add to the load to be carried

by the direct radiation and in addition may create a movement of cold air that while desirable in summer may be undesirable in winter. Modu lation of the amount of steam supplied to the coils can be used to control temperature, or air can be by-passed around these heating or tempering
coils. Since reheating or tempering coils are required for winter and year
'round air conditioning, their use as a means of summer as well as winter temperature control is indicated. Where heat is available in summer, as the room sensible heat falls off, the low temperature of the supply air can be raised by means of these coils to maintain the desired room tempera ture while still providing adequate air at the proper dew-point.
Reheating presents an excellent method of accurate temperature control
since the quantity of air passed through the conditioner is not changed as
in the case of the by-pass, and since the distribution and circulation are not
affected as when the volume of supply is reduced. However, reheating in
summer has one disadvantage. It has the effect of maintaining a constant
internal sensible heat load on the system. This means that when an
effective temperature difference of 15 F is being maintained at the maxi
mum room sensible heat load, this temperature difference must be reduced
by means of heating to 7.5 F at half of the sensible heat load. The room
sensible heat usually is about 35 to 45 per cent of the total cooling load
and thus the penalty imposed on the refrigeration cycle is not extremely
large. When the, outdoor wet-bulb temperature is less than the desired
room wet-bulb temperature, all outdoor air should be passed through the
conditioner and under these circumstances reheating does not impose a
load on the refrigeration cycle since the heated air is not returned to the
conditioner. Further, where the volume of outdoor air introduced to the
. system, which for all practical purposes is wasted after its work has been
- done, is sufficiently large in relation to the amount of reheat used (that is,
if the heat required does.not exceed that necessary to raise the outdoor
air only from dew-point to room temperature) the use of reheat does not
impose a load on the refrigeration cycle.. This, of course, assumes that
there is no economic penalty involved in the use of heat itself.
.
' One of the. best applications of reheating for summer purposes is in combination with other means of temperature control for the. purpose of leveling off accentuated demands for temperature control. As an example, -the by-pass can be applied to a certain extent, or the volume of supply air throttled to a limited degree, or both of these used in sequence, and reheating, can be used as the final step in temperature control.
In the foregoing it has been assumed that summer reheating is derived from: an extraneous source of heat such as steam, electric heaters or hot water. The economics of reheating as outlined may be improved by the use of sources of heat that are available within the equipment used. :
Where certain types of refrigeration cycles are used, auxiliary refrig erant condensing coils can be placed in the air stream. At partial loads these can be used as additional refrigerant condensing surface and improve the performance of the refrigeration plant. This is generally known as hot gas reheating.' 'Less effective is the use of coils in the air stream through which liquid refrigerant from the condenser is passed before being delivered to the evaporator, sub-cooling the liquid refrigerant and improving the performance of the refrigeration cycle. The use of refrigeration condenser water as a source of reheating provides definite economies! "If the condenser water is passed through coils in the air stream before being used for refrigerant condensing purposes, the lowering
800
CHAPTER 43
1946 Guide
of the condenser water temperature accomplished by reheating the air will result in savings in the refrigeration plant power consumption and increased refrigeration capacity. The latter two methods are at some disadvantage in that the amount of reheat available decreases as the need for reheating increases, particularly where evaporative condensers or cooling towers are used.
Zoning
Zoning consists of an arrangement of equipment or a division of equip ment into sections that will permit individual control of the temperature and humidity .of those spaces or groups of spaces that do not have simul taneous variations in sensible or latent heat load. The equipment is so arranged or divided that air can be supplied to spaces or groups of spaces in accordance with the individual load requirements of that space or group of spaces.
Solar heat gain is one of the major causes of the zoning requirement
since its effect and amount vary with the season, time of day and exposure.
Other sources of heat gain, subject to variations, such as large changes in
the number of occupants in one space with a constant occupancy in
another indicate the necessity of zoning. Some of the various methods
of zoning are:
.!
-
1. Separate equipment.
2. Reheating or recooling. (See Figs. 4 and 5:)
3. Multiple fans with individual by-pass. (See Figs. 6 and 7.)
/ 4. Volume control. (See Fig. 8.)
5. Dual duct system. (See Fig. 9.)
.
6. Combinations of the above methods.
.
Zoning by separate equipment represents the extreme in zoning. In dividual conditioners, fans, heaters, controls, distributing duct work, etc., are provided for each zone and are separate from those of other zones. Each assembly of equipment is arranged to operate at full or partial load according to the requirements of that zone. In extreme cases an individual refrigeration plant may be provided for each zone. In general, this method of zoning is uneconomical since each piece of equipment is large enough to handle the full load requirements of that zone and no advantage can be taken of the fact that while one zone is at its full load others may be operating at considerably less than full capacity. This applies both to the initial cost of a system and the operating cost. There are, however, many cases where this method of zoning when used to a limited degree or combined with other methods is most desirable^' -
Zoning by reheat is one of the more simple methods of approaching-the problem of differing variations in load. Reheating has been discussed in the foregoing. Heating coils located in the distributing duct work or apparatus connections which supply only those spaces having sub stantially the same load variations will, by adding heat when the cooling load falls off (or the reverse in the case of a heating load), maintain the desired temperature conditions. It has been shown previously that where the amouht of reheating required is not excessive and that heat for this purpose is available from an economic standpoint this method of zoning may be entirely practical and even highly desirable.
Zoning by recooling is literally the reverse of zoning by reheating. It is not used often but there are many cases where it is desirable. Its most practical application is limited to a sensible heat removal function where the latent heat requirements are handled by another source such, as a
Central Systems for Comfort Air Conditioning
801
dehumidifier or dehydrator, and \yhere the recooling equipment (usually
cold water cooling coils) can be utilized for reheating (usually with hot
water) in the heating season. In using this method of zoning, when the
cooling load of a given space is reduced, the cooling effect produced by the
recooler is also reduced. .
,
The use of multiple fans with individual by-passes presents a simple and sometimes inexpensive method of zoning. Two or more fans may be arranged so that each draws its treated air from the same conditioner. The connection between the conditioner and fans is divided or partitioned in such a manner that a by-pass connection can be made to each fan. See Fig. 6. In this way the amount of by-pass air can be regulated accord ing to the requirements of the zone served by that fan. In this application a face damper must be used for each segment of the conditioner, arranged to close as the individual by-passes open or an unbalanced system may result. A much better adaptation of this principle, though slightly higher in initial cost, is obtained by using a- single conditioner or dehumidifier, having a central conditioned air fan delivering the treated air to the necessary zone fans where the conditioned air is mixed with return air according to the requirements of the zone. See Fig. 7. With this method of zoning, the zone fans are provided with casings to which both return air and conditioned air are delivered, their proportions being regulated by dampers working in opposite directions. : If conditioned air is delivered to the casing at slight positive pressure the return air damper may be omitted. Reheating can be effectively combined with either of these for year 'round use or for winter use only. The reheater is usually located in the air stream to the zone fan. Where a central conditioned air fan is used to deliver conditioned air to a number of zones, a static pressure regulator controlling a volume damper or inlet vanes on this fan should be in stalled to prevent unbalancing the system, when one or more zone fan conditioned air dampers are throttling. This is one of the better methods of zoning and is particularly effective when used in combination with reheating for winter or year 'round conditioning as previously outlined.
Volume control is the least expensive and most frequently used method of zoning. It is usually obtained by placing a throttling damper in the supply duct feeding a particular zone and operating the damper to restrict flow of air as the heating or cooling load is reduced. The damper may be operated manually or automatically. Volume control,, however, has two serious disadvantages. The first of these is that any large reduction irt the quantity of air supplied may impair the ventilation. The second is that a large reduction of the air supply may entirely upset the distribution from the room outlets causing dead pockets, stratification, lack of air motion, or the reverse--undesirable drafts. Where the degree of volume control is large or the system extensive and where volume con trol is applied to one portion of a system and not to another, the use of a static pressure regulator controlling a fan discharge damper or fan inlet vanes is indicated. Its'best application is in combination with some other method of zoning such as reheat or by-pass where it is used as one step in a control sequence, and the reduction in. volume limited to a proper
amount.
The dual duct method of zoning, sometimes referred to as the schoolhouse system, can be successfully applied to comfort air conditioning though certain precautions must be observed. Essentially this method employs a source of warm air and a source of cold air both of which are delivered to a common point where either or a mixture of both are
802
CHAPTER 43
1946 Guide
delivered to a particular zone according to the requirements of that zone. See Fig. 9. Several variations of this method are possible, some of which do not employ dual ducts as denoted by the name but which utilize the principle. An example of this is found in a blow-through system where'' the fan is located on the entering side of the conditioner and the con ditioned air passes from the conditioner into a plenum from which distributing ducts for the various zones are taken. A by-pass connection around the conditioner from the fan to the zone duct is made and dampers !) provided so that conditioned or untreated air, or a mixture of both is passed into the zone supply duct. In this method of zoning and in most of the variations of this method, the matter of by-passing untreated or outdoor air presents itself. This has been discussed earlier in this chapter. If a return air fan is used and the by-pass connection made from the return fan to the zone supply duct, then the by-passing of outdoor air does not need to be considered. Complication of ducts and con nections should be avoided since it may result in difficult sheet metal work with accompanying leakage of air and waste of cooling or heating effect.
Combinations of these several methods of zoning usually provide the
most effective zoning. It is then possible to use each method to its
greatest advantage without incurring operative or economic penalties
which may be inflicted by the exclusive use of any one. Thus, where wide
variations in load occur, volume control can be used to reduce the air
quantity a limited amount, then as the load continues to fall off, reheat,
or by-pass, or both can be used. By-pass and reheat can be used in
series very effectively. Many combinations are possible and each case
should be considered with regard to its particular requirements when
deciding on the method of zoning.

Induction Units--Low-pressure type
Induction units are essentially induction type convectors. These unitsutilize a jet of conditioned air (or primary air) to induce into the unit a flow of room or secondary air which mixes with the primary air. The mixture is discharged into the room through a grille at the top of the unit. Heating coils are located in the secondary air stream for use in heating. Control is obtained by either manually or automatically throttling the jet, and, in addition, heat may be supplied to the secondary coils in summer as well as winter to provide control by reheating. The use of these induction units presents several advantages. Since the secondary air stream is thoroughly mixed with the high velocity low temperature air stream before leaving the discharge of the unit, the resultant temperature of the mixture is satisfactory even though the primary air is introduced at a temperature too low for ordinary methods of distribution. A unit is usually provided under each window in place of the customary direct radiation, and combines the air distribution system with the.-heating system. With a conventional., system it may be necessary to provide supplementary heating in the form of direct radiation. These induction units may be selected so that their heating- coils will have sufficient -capacity under gravity conditions (that is, with the fan system off and no primary air entering the unit) to maintain the building or spaces at a reasonable temperature. The use of low temperature, dehumidified air which has not been reheated or mixed with room air before delivery to the room results in a reduction in fan capacity and smaller sized duct work. .In some cases the use of the by-pass may be desirable in order to keep the primary air volume up and provide additional control. This system . can provide a degree of zoning that is usually impossible with conventional
Central Systems for Comfort Air Conditioning
803
systems since each unit can be put under manual or automatic volume control and reheat control. The selection of units should be made with regard to noise level when related to the noise level of the spares. The inductive capacity of the unit increases with the jet velocity but too high
jet velocities result in a high noise level.
Induction Units--High pressure type
'.
A recent development of the induction unit as previously outlined is
the high pressure type of unit. This unit employs nozzles which produce
a high velocity jet quietly. The term, high pressure type of unit, is to
some extent inaccurate since the pressure at the nozzles, while several
times that of the low pressure unit, is still less than the total resistance
pressure of a conventional central system. The high velocity jet of primary air induces a flow of secondary room air through coils located in
the secondary air stream. The coil in the secondary air stream is sup
plied with chilled water in summer and hot water in winter and thus
handles a large portion of the room sensible heat gain in summer and of
the room sensible heat loss in winter. The primary air is supplied at a
sufficiently low dew-point to take care of room latent heat gain in summer. In winter, it is supplied at a. sufficiently high dew-point to take care of
room latent heat losses. Control of temperature is obtained by throttling
the water quantity supplied to the secondary coils. The quantity of
primary air is greatly reduced due to the fact that a portion of the room
sensible heat load" is carried by the secondary air stream coil. Since the primary quantity is small, very high velocities can be carried in the supply ducts without requiring fan power in excess of that required for a con
ventional system. This means that the supply ducts or pipes can be very small and can be run in chases, or furred in at columns with the water pipes. The primary air is treated in the usual manner to provide air at
the required dew-point and either a surface or spray dehumidifier or a dehydrator may be used. The primary air quantity is sufficient for
ventilation purposes, and frequently consists entirely of outdoor air. The water piping for the units can be so arranged and valved that hot water can be supplied to one zone that may require heating while cold water
may be supplied to a zone that requires cooling.
This system is usually limited in application to hotels, apartments, office buildings and other multi-room installations having a large perimeter with relation to the floor area. The units are usually installed beneath
the windows, replacing direct radiation or convectors. Where the spares
to be conditioned extend a large distance from the outer wall into the interior of the building, a separate system or zone for the conditioning of
the interior portions may be required.
Evaporative Cooling
"'
In climates where on design maximum days, the outdoor wet-bulb depression is relatively high it may be possible to dispense with refriger ation or other cooling sources by use of the evaporative cooling effect. A well designed air washer using recirculating sprays will reduce the entering dry-bulb temperature to within a degree or two of the entering'
wet-bulb condition. Thus, it may be possible that with air entering at 100 F dry-bulb and 60 F wet-bulb temperature a leaving condition of 62 F dry-bulb, nearly saturated can be obtained; Under some conditionsof latent and sensible heat load the results may be entirely satisfactory.
Under those conditions when the outdoor wet-bulb temperature is not quite low enough to permit the use of straight evaporative cooling it is'
804.
CHAPTER 43
1946 Guide
possible to use precooling coils with refrigeration, well water or a cooling
tower as the basic source of cooling to lower the wet-bulb temperature,
(by sensible heat removal) of the air before it enters the air washer. Where
internal heat loads are high, this may be more economical than using
return air. Under other conditions where the required supply air dew
point is too low to permit straight evaporative cooling and the sensible
heat load not too great, intentional partial saturation may be employed.
That is, the low dew-point of the outdoor air is utilized by permitting
some of it to pass through the humidifying sprays untreated or pass
around the humidifier. All of these remarks with regard to evaporative
cooling are based, as indicated, on the assumption that the supply air will
consist entirely of outside air. Provision should be made for the return of
air from the conditioned spaces for control purposes as well as for winter
use in all cases.
'
Precooling
Where sufficiently cold water from wells or streams is available a saving in the refrigeration cycle may be obtained by the use of precooling. Cooling coils are placed ahead of the dehumidifier or conditioner and the cold water from a well or stream circulated through the coils. The resultant cooling of the air decreases the load to be carried by the de humidifier and refrigeration plant. In normal practice the water after passing through the precooling coils is delivered to the refrigeration plant for condensing purposes. The economic advantages of this scheme are apparent and it is frequently used.
Sensible Cooling with Dry Cooling Coils
,
-
Under certain atmospheric conditions where a large wet-bulb depres sion exists and the dew-point of the outdoor air is sufficiently low at all times, proper inside conditions may be obtained by removing sensible heat only from the outdoor air and supplying it to the spaces. Under this condition of a high wet-bulb depression a cooling coil may be located in the air stream and this coil supplied with water from a cooling tower of one type or another. When humidity control is desired sprays to saturate or partially saturate the air may be used after the dry cooling coil. Saturation or partial saturation after the dry air cooler will further reduce the dry-bulb temperature of the supply air and reduce the supply air quantity required. This system has very definite application in hot dry climates and in general is most economical.
Run-Around System
v
An interesting method of control is found in the use of combined re heating and precooling usually termed the run-around system. Coils are placed in the air stream before and after the conditioner and water or brine is circulated around the conditioner from one coil to the other. The; water passing through the reheating coil is cooled by the air leaving the dehumidifier and the air is heated by the water. The cooled water is then circulated through the precooling coil where the entering air is cooled by the water and the heated water sent back to the reheating coil. The run- around has the advantage of permitting a higher supply air dew-point ' temperature than would be possible otherwise. This is due to the fact that continual reheating is available which is not a large penalty on the refrigeration plant since it provides precooling at the same time. This reheating at peak load creates an artificial sensible heat gain which in creases the ratio of room sensible heat to room total heat and for a given room temperature results in a higher apparatus dew-point. Thus, while
Central Systems for Comfort Air Conditioning
805
the volume of supply air is increased, the low side temperature level of the refrigeration plant is raised and this may effect savings in initial and operating costs. This system has the disadvantage of providing a decreasing amount of heat for reheating as the demand for reheating
increases.
.
RELATION TO BUILDING TYPE
Few buildings or spaces are physically identical and those that are similar in this respect may have marked differences in internal loading, zoning requirements, and economic limitations. Consequently it is virtually impossible to establish fixed rules governing the type of system to be used. Each case must be considered on its own merits with due regard to all engineering and economic factors. 'However, some generali
zations are possible.
In small single spaces the use of an elaborate system is undesirable
from an initial cost standpoint. Zoning may be often eliminated. This
also applies to large single spaces except that in very large spaces the
necessity of providing adequate zoning is encountered more frequently.
If the spaces are extremely large, physical and economic limitations such
as the size of equipment, size and length of ducts,' may require the
division of the space into sections. Whether these sections are to be
made according to zones or whether each section is to be zoned will
depend on the particular case.
'
Where groups of spaces or small buildings are encountered, simple sys' terns still prove the most economical. A single central station with zoning
by means of volume control and reheat combined may be entirely satis factory. If the perimeter of the building is large with regard to the area, induction units of the low or high pressure type may be employed, par ticularly if it is a multi-room application. Occasionally the dual duct sys tem may be considered, but is infrequently used due to its complications.
Low buildings with large floor areas, such as large department stores and large general offices, may have to be divided into sections for treat ment. In the case of large department stores it may be possible to provide a single conditioner with a fan delivering the conditioned air to recircu lating fans which supply the various departments or spaces. This application is limited by practicability of running the large conditioned air ducts to the various recirculating fans. In some cases the use of separate systems for each section will be indicated with the added neces sity of dividing into horizontal as well as vertical sections. If the latter is required, each vertical section may be handled by a separate system con sisting of a single conditioner and fan delivering conditioned air to recircu lating fans supplying the horizontal sections. Zoning is obtained by proper allocation of the recirculating fans or other conventional methods used in conjunction with the recirculating fans. For general offices in particular, or types of buildings having a large perimeter, the use of one of the induction type units for perimeter treatment, combined with a con ventional system for the treatment of the interior portions, offers pos
sibilities.
High buildings having large floor areas may be successfully handled in many ways. Horizontal or vertical sectionalizing or both may be required, as determined by economic factors and physical limitations. Where vertical sections only are required, the use of a single conditioner and fan for each section delivering conditioned air to zone fans at various floors may be used. These zone fans can be so arranged that one recirculating
806
CHAPTER 43
1946 Guide
fan can handle similar zones on several floors, thus reducing the number of fans required and providing a degree of vertical zoning. Where vertical sectionalizing is not indicated, the building may be divided into hori zontal groups, each handled by a central system and adequately zoned. In some, extremely large buildings apparatus rooms for the systems may be located in the basement and in the attic and on intermediate floors.
In high buildings having small floor areas the treatment required may be the same as for that of a vertical section of one having a large floor area. A single conditioner and fan can be used to deliver conditioned air to recirculating fans located at various floors.
In all cases of high buildings the necessity for horizontal sectionalizing is indicated by the economical size of air supply and return risers and by the extent to which they encroach upon usable space. In all buildings the necessity for vertical sectionalizing is indicated by the economical size of horizontal supply and return ducts and the space requirements of these ducts.
Usually the most simple systems are best adapted to theaters, audi toriums, and similar applications. Zoning is seldom required other than in connection with auxiliary spaces served by the same system. A con ventional central system with by-pass control possibly augmented by reheat usually will suffice. The auxiliary spaces may be supplied with air from the same system controlled by volume reduction and reheat. Balconies and large lobbies frequently justify the use of separatezoning fans.
The foregoing are merely generalizations and suggestions. It is the
responsibility of the engineer to explore thoroughly the possibilities of all
types of systems and employ that best suited* to the purpose from a
standpoint of maintained economy, maintenance, life, operation and
physical applicability.
EQUIPMENT SELECTION
Other chapters cover in detail most of the items of equipment used in a central system. Each item must be selected not only on its own merits, but in relation to all the other items that go to make up the complete central system. Each item should be considered from the standpoint of. both initial cost and operating costs. Consideration must be given to performance at partial loads since most systems operate at full load but a small percentage of time. Many items of equipment have been well standardized and are manufactured in certain definite sizes. The fullest advantage.of this should be taken. One item that may be oversized of necessity may permit the use of a smaller piece elsewhere.
Fans operate at full capacity continually in many systems and therefore should be selected for good efficiencies. In winter where higher tem perature differentials are used it is possible to use lower air quantities and a two-speed motor may be provided for the fan, resulting in a power saving. In such cases the air distribution under the reduced volume should be investigated before providing this feature.
In selection of the dehumidifier or conditioner the relation of this item to the refrigeration plant is to be given careful consideration. Frequently, it is possible to make a saving in the refrigeration plant by providing more surface in the dehumidifier or conditioner. On the other hand, an excess of capacity in the refrigeration plant can be used to lower the apparatus dew-point (if the lower room humidity is satisfactory) resulting -in a reduced quantity of dehumidified air and smaller dehumidifier.
Central Systems for Comfort Air Conditioning
807
In winter, where preheating coils in outside air intakes are required and subjected to entering air temperatures below freezing, the coils should be selected for operation at full capacity whenever the entering air tem perature is below 35 F or where throttling of the steam supply to the coils is desirable. A type of coil that is designed especially for this must be used. In many cases the use of preheaters is not justified since the temperature of the mixture of outside and return air may be entirely satisfactory.
Where reheating coils are used after the supply fan, either as zone control reheaters or boosters, and are relatively near outlets, care is to be used to install these coils so that any stratification of temperature pro duced by the throttling of the steam or water supply does not result in cold air being delivered to one outlet and warm air to another. Some types of coils that do not produce stratification under throttled con- .
ditions are commercially available.
The selection of the refrigerating plant is in itself an economic study.
The availability, consumption, and costs of condenser water are to be
compared to the initial costs involved and water savings produced by the
use of cooling towers or evaporative condensers. Whether or not a direct
expansion or flooded system, cold water or brine type of plant will be
used is not only a matter of initial cost but one of over-all performance,
operating economy, compactness, and in some cases; one of safety. Where
water or brine is used as a cooling medium, the possibilities of using
lower temperatures and decreased quantities of water or brine, with
resultant savings in pumping power and line sizes, are to be compared
with the increased power consumption and probable increased cost of
the refrigeration machine.
'
Air cleaning devices are to be selected according to the particular
requirements of the project as well as to existing atmospheric conditions. In some applications such as certain types of stores or departments in
large stores, lint screens should be provided for the return air as well as
filters. Whether or not return air is to be filtered will depend upon the
individual case and will be related to the amount of dirt or dust generated
in or brought into the conditioned space from various sources. The type
of filter or cleaning device to be used depends largely on economic con siderations. Obviously an expensive high, efficiency cleaning device is not
warranted where atmospheric dust or dirt is of such a nature that a less
expensive, less efficient device will remove the more objectionable matter.
Interior cleaning costs, dust and dirt damage, and hazard due to an
accumulation of inflammable dust or dirt within the system are most
important factors.
.
Automatic instruments are nearly always used in.present practice for
the control of temperature and humidity and to an increasing extent in
the control of large refrigerating plants as well as small ones. Whether
electric or pneumatic controls are to be used is a function of the particular
requirements of the application and with certain exceptions a function of economy. Either electrically or .pneumatically operated controls can be
made to serve the same purpose though the individual case may favor one or the other. A detailed discussion of automatic controls may be found
in Chapter 34. One point is to be emphasized. In general, the simpler
the control system the better it will perform. Control systems seldom
receive the maintenance they deserve and the fewer the instruments and
devices the better the care. Further, it is poor, policy to provide, at
additional expense, instruments of extreme sensitivity to devices in
capable of responding to the control demands.
808
CHAPTER 43
1946 Guide
Insulation is an important factor in air conditioning systems. Its economy with regard to steam and water or brine piping are well known and need no comment. The insulation of duct work is not merely a matter of economics but sometimes is a'necessity from the standpoint of limiting the temperature rise of the-air even when the ducts are in conditioned spaces. This temperature rise of the air should always be taken into account when apportioning the air and sizing the ducts and will indicate the necessity for insulation. In some cases, leakage of air from the duct, where the duct is in a furred space or chase will eliminate the need for insulation by maintaining a reasonable temperature surrounding the duct.
There are practically no items of equipment associated with central air conditioning systems that are not subject to economic limitations as well as those of performance and duty and all of them should be considered in the selection.
ARRANGEMENT OF EQUIPMENT
A proper arrangement of equipment is essential for the proper function ing of any system. Where systems are to be installed in existing buildings the arrangement of equipment may be limited by structural or space . considerations, but no compromises that may prevent satisfactory opera tion or maintenance should be considered.
The location of the apparatus room is often determined by building construction or available space. The closer the apparatus room to the conditioned space, the less expensive is the duct-work. On the other hand if the equipment generates noises it may be necessary to locate the room some distance from the spaces or provide adequate sound and vibration. treatment. The scattering of wet apparatus throughout a building is to be avoided unless suitable precautions are taken. It must be remembered that encroachment on spaces that are otherwise usable can be charged against the system as an operating cost.
In general the apparatus should be arranged to have straight line air flow. This is desirable but not always possible. Each change in direction is the source of air resistance, and in addition may cause eddy currents resulting in stratification. The usual order of equipment, beginning at the outside air intake is: outside air screen, outside air louvers, maximum and minimum outside air dampers, preheaters, return air connection, filters, conditioner, by-pass connection with or without reheaters, reheaters, fan and distributing ductwork. See Figs. 1,2 anc$ 3 for typical arrangements. Use of one or more of the methods of zoning may require a modification of this order but usually only after the dehumidifier or conditioner.
Outside air screens prevent the entry of large foreign matter, birds, etc. The use of louvers or a hood at the outside air intake prevents the entry of rain and snow. Both of these should be used on all systems. As pointed out earlier, the louvers and screens should be of sufficient size to permit the passage of the entire conditioned air quantity.
. The minimum outside air damper usually covers the entire face of the . preheater, which in turn is selected for the minimum outside air quantity. The maximum outside air damper is designed for the difference between the dehumidified air quantity and the minimum outside air. Its size can be such that its air resistance when open will equal the air resistance of the open minimum outside air damper plus that of the preheater if used. Where the spaces conditioned are very tight against air leakage, some

type of relief or positive exhaust may be necessary when all outdoor air is
introduced to the system to provide some means of egress for the air.
Such reliefs require back-draft dampers to prevent infiltration when all
outdoor air is not being used. A return fan properly dampered as
indicated later is sometimes used.
.
The return air from the conditioned spaces usually is brought into the
apparatus between the preheater and the filter. Just as it is necessary to
make provision for using all outdoor air it is necessary to make provision
for using all return air. Heating an unoccupied building of cooling; it -
after a shut-down is easier if all the air used is return air. Consequently
the return connections should be ample for this. In many cases higher
velocities can be carried in the return ducts during such times, since the
fan will exert a pull at the return connection nearly equal to the resistance
of the outside air connection and the return ducts need not be larger than
for normal return air quantities at normal velocities. In other cases it is
possible that a reduced quantity of air due to the increased resistance of .
the return duct system may be satisfactory during the starting period.
Where the return, air system is extensive or complicated a return air fan
is desirable. This fan can serve as a combination exhaust and return fan
by arranging dampers in its discharge so that the necessary return air can
be delivered back into the system and the remainder discharged outdoors.
When all outdoor air is passed through the conditioner the entire return
air quantity is discharged outdoors.
'
The by-pass connection normally connects the return air duct system
into the apparatus casing between the conditioner and fan. Usually it
is sized to handle about 50 per cent of the fan capacity where a variable
by-pass is used though extreme load variations may require a greater
amount. It is at times good design to locate the reheater in the by-pass
connection using a certain amount of by.-pass air when heating is required.
Since the relatively high resistance of the conditioner is to be balanced
by the heating coil and by-pass connection, enough heating surface can
be provided to raise the temperature of the by-pass air to the point where
the mixture of by-pass air and conditioned air will have the required
temperature. When a variable by-pass is used a damper working in
opposition to the by-pass damper should be placed across the face of the
dehumidifier, for unless the resistances of the two are most carefully
balanced ait all operating points the proper mixtures of air will not be
obtained. ' The avoidance of by-passing outside air is again stressed.
Where the by-pass is made a part of the dehumidifier or conditioner and
located on the top or side of it, the return air connection- should be made
in such a way that stratification of return air is insured, baffles being .
provided to accomplish this purpose if necessary. Where return air and
by-pass air connections are taken off a return duct system it may be
necessary to install a back-draft damper between the return air con
nection and the by-pass connection, if the return duct system is extensive
and the connections simple. In this instance, when the by-pass damper
is at maximum opening it may be much easier for outside air to pass
through the return damper, into the return duct connection and through
the by-pass than for return air to pass through the by-pass connection
into the fan. Air always takes the easiest path and if the dehumidifier
resistance is high, and the return duct resistances low, this situation is
apt to occur unless precautions are taken. A return fan instead of a
back-draft damper may be required for this case if the failure of return air "
to reach the dehumidifier or conditioner is a serious matter under reduced
load conditions.

1946 Guide
The location and arrangement of the dehumidifier, humidifier, or, con
ditioner with reference to each apparatus assembly are more or less stand
ardized. In general, the outside air intake, preheaters, and return air
connections precede the conditioner while the by-pass, reheaters and fan
follow the dehumidifier. In the cases of the blow through system, where
. the fan is located ahead of the conditioner, the leakage of air at the con
, ditioner is outward instead of inward and may be accompanied by water
leakage unless the proper precautions are taken.
..
The location of the complete apparatus assembly including the de
humidifier will be dependent on the type of building, spaces available,
structural characteristics, etc. The type of conditioner used may limit
' the location under certain conditions. Where cooling coils employing
chilled water or brine as the cooling agent are used there are few restric-'
tions with regard to location other than those of pumping power, working
. pressures, line costs, etc. Where open spray dehumidifiers are used very
. definite limitations present themselves, and these may require certain
' extraneous equipment to make the system workable. If several spray
. type dehumidifiers are located on different levels, a surge or storage tank .
to which the return water from each dehumidifier can be taken is required
' Should the water level in the pan of the dehumidifiers be low in relation
to that of the surge tank, return water pumps will be required, and these
. pumps will have to be operated until the water supply lines are drained in
order to prevent flooding of the lower dehumidifiers. Where spray de-
. humidifiers are on the same level, equalizing lines between the pans may
be required if a storage tank is not provided.
.
Alb of the various pieces of equipment fron* the outdoor air intake through the fan usually are connected together by sheet metal casings Frequently the building structure or specially constructed walls or par . titions may be used to form all or a portion of the casing. In any case the . casing or connection must be sufficiently sturdy for the required duty. . Sheet metal work must be well braced not only to prevent bellying or vibration under pulsations in air flow but to withstand the abuse of normal usage. Casings should be adequately braced wherever access doors are installed and all large panels should be adequately reinforced by angle iron.
Each apparatus layout is to be made with accessibility in mind. Where . ' cooling coils .are used space for removing and repairing or replacing the ' coils should be provided. Adequate space is to be provided for the
. ' servicing and replacement of eliminators: Filters must be so located that . the proper cleaning, replacement or routine servicing can be accomplished , without difficulty. Free access to the bearings of all moving machinery
is a necessity. Provisions should be made for the complete removal and replacement of any part of the system that is subject to wear, deteriora-
' . tion or damage, whether it may be filter, fan wheel, motor, rotor, pump impeller or heat transfer surface.

CHAPTER 44. Owninfy an
Fixed Charges: ' Amortization, Interest, Taxes,] Insurance, Rent; Maintenance Costs, Service Costs: ' Operating Refrig
eration Equipment, Condenser Water, Heating '
THE purpose of this chapter is to discuss the owning and operating costs of heating, ventilating, air conditioning - and refrigeration systems for buildings from an economic standpoint so that owners or
prospective purchasers may compare the operating economics of one
system with another and evaluate properly the over-all costs 'of the Systems-
instead of considering only the first cost.
,.
There are cases in which it may be desirable to study the possibilities
of installing a system for the purpose of obtaining a substantial increase in income or a better return on the investment due-to: increased patron
age in theaters, stores, or hospitals;-increased occupancy in office build ings; improved efficiency of employees in offices or factories; or improve- -
ment in a manufactured product or a decrease in its cost of production.
Owning and Operating Costs may be grouped under three headings: (1) Fixed charges, (2) Maintenance Costs, and (3) Service Costs. -
FIXED CHARGES
Fixed Charges, which are the costs of owning the system, include: (1) Amortization, (2) Interest, (3) Taxes, (4) Insurance, and (5) Rent.
Amortization
'
Amortization cost will depend on: (1) the total first cost, and (2) the
amortization period.
. ..
The total first cost of an installation is the actual dollar outlay or capital expenditure required to buy and install the air conditioning, or heating and ventilating system ready for operation. It can be divided into two parts: (a) The first cost of the air conditioning or heating and ventilating system itself, and (>), other first costs incurred because of the . installation of the air conditioning or heating-and ventilating system.
The first cost of air conditioning or heating and ventilating systems
includes the following:
'
1`. Heat producing equipment including boilers, burners, etc. '
--
2. Heat distributing equipment including direct radiation, piping, etc.
-
.
3. Air handling equipment including fans, air heaters, air conditioners, filters, con
trols, etc.
.
4. Air distributing equipment including ducts, outlets, grilles, etc.
5. Refrigerating equipment including piping, pumps, etc.
. 6. Water conservation devices including towers, evaporative condensers, etc.
The best procedure for establishing the first cost of any system is to select the various.parts after thorough engineering study, and then to .estimate the "installed costs of same. When such detailed work is not
warranted or when only rough comparisons are desired between several types, approximate unit costs are of value as time savers.
. Approximate installed prices of the various parts are shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3 and, as indicated, vary with the size or capacity of the equip-

ment.. The apparatus and items included in each group are stated in the footnotes beneath the tables. .'.By use of these three tables it is possible to obtain a reasonable approximation of the cost of heating or air con ditioning a given space-or building. In order to use; the approximate values indicated in Tables 1, 2 and 3, a rough estimate of the load is . required. If time does not permit a determination of the load and if extremely rough figures will suffice, Table 4 may be used as an indication of the price of. various types of air conditioning applications.
Other first costs, incurred because of the installation of the air con ditioning or heating and ventilating system, include costs of- electrical wo'rk, plumbing, miscellaneous piping, building alterations! cutting, patching, remodeling, or redecorating after installation, consulting engineer's fees, licenses, permits, etc. These vary so widely that no approximations are possible and each case must be considered alone.
' The length of the amortization period to be used depends upon: the type and remaining life of the building or space for which the system is to be used; the type of equipment.to be employed as a-part of the system; the character of the business; and the lease or ownership conditions. For small shops in rented quarters on short term leases,'a period of 5 years or less may be proper, whereas for larger installations ini buildings thatfare owned outright' a period of 10 or 20 years or more may be used.
Depreciation due to deterioration and obsolescence must also be considered in arriving at the amortization period. - Deterioration and

An approximation of the-useful life of various items of equipment and

'
' An orderly arrangement of the various components of owning and ' operating costs, which will also serve as a check list to forestall inad' vertent omissions, is illustrated in Table 6. . The formulae for computing
amortization and interest are given in the table. Interest should be . computed on the undepreciated portion of investment only.
'
MAINTENANCE COSTS
,
Maintenance costs include replacement parts and the labor required for making repairs, replacing parts, cleaning, painting, etc. It should
be noted that major overhauling or complete replacement may restore the capital value of certain items of equipment, and in such cases the costs incurred may not necessarily be charged as maintenance costs. . Generally, routine labor requirements will be the function of an operating engineer, or staff and the responsibility of this group may extend beyond the equipment being discussed here; hence, it is important to include only an equitable share of the time of this group. Extraordinary repairs -involving special machinery will usually be covered by contract with equipment service divisions and should be accounted for on that basis.
.
' '
. Many of the items included in maintenance costs are highly variable
and depend on the type and quality of the purchased equipment. For
large air conditioning installations, using high quality equipment, some
approximate costs per ton are given in Table 7.
.
In addition to the costs listed in Table 7, consideration should possibly
be given to other items such as:. water treatment for boilers; other boiler
and heating plant cleaning and repairs; repair and replacement of heating
plant valves, traps, and vents; water treatment for cooling tower or
> chilled spray water; drive belts, possible damage due to freezing weather;
cleaning of air ducts; and repairs to insulation.
'
SERVICE COSTS
Service costs include the costs for power, water, steam, coal, oil, etc.,
consumed to operate the system.
.
From the selected equipment and type of installation, it is possible to
segregate the relatively constant power loads and the total brake horse power. Annual power cost can then be figured from the following formula:
where

In using Equation T it must be pointed out that the electric rate, R
must reflect the proper combination of energy and demand rates. These

vary widely between the utility companies, and sometimes the rate
- structure is such that it is largely the demand charge which determines .
the proper value of R to use in Equation 1. ' '

of operating cost is more complex, since the power required for summer
cooling is affected by many factors which are of a variable nature.
Among these are solar radiation, temperature difference between outside
and inside, sensible and latent heat- brought in with outside air, sensible
and latent heat from people, heat released by electric lights, and, in
some cases motor-driven equipment, cooking devices, and other equip
ment used in the conditioned spaces; Some of these factors vary with the
weather while others are substantially independent of it. The relative
proportion of each factor varies widely even among installations of the
same application, depending on building layout and location, the size
and quality of the establishment, the personal idiosyncracies of the owner,
and other items.
~
In a strict sense, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of all such factors
in order to predict the operating cost of a refrigeration plant. In most
cases this procedure will prove to be too tedious, or it may not be possible
because the exact breakdown of load data is unknown. The use of a
simplified semi-rational formula, Equation 2, which takes into'account
for each application the number of hours open for business and the
geographical location, will provide a value of H which may be used in
Equation 3 to determine the Season Power Cost.

long hour restaurants, and theaters.
'
Table 8 was calculated from Equation 2. It should be pointed out that certain southern cities may have seasons longer than the 5-month period indicated in Table 8. If it is desired to consider a longer season of operation, the ratio of full load operating hours to hours open for business is smaller; in other words, the refrigeration load factor is, lower. This is true because the extra increment of days added will be at relatively light load, since the table already includes the more severe part of the season.

Table 9 will be useful in estimating the design load in the absence of detailed load estimates. .
In considering refrigeration power consumption, it should be noted that the use of weather records for a specific year may lead to large, inaccuracies in estimating operating costs, since there may be wide; variations from year to year, and therefore, average yearly weather records should be used rather than those for any individual year.
If the refrigeration compressor-is steam turbine driven, the same

Condenser water cost estimates can also be based on equivalent full load operating hours of the refrigeration equipment.

of the conventional control systems to-use less than the estimated
quantity of outside air in cold weather should be considered in its effect
in lowering fuel consumption. In addition, the heat required to accom-'

INDUSTRIAL air conditioning is primarily concerned with the atmos pheric conditions required for the manufacture,; processing, and preservation of material, equipment and commodities. The fundamental
factors, one or more of which may govern these conditions are: humidity, temperature, air motion and air purity. The term air purity may have
reference to the quantity of dust, bacteria, odors, or toxic gases present.
The optimum atmospheric conditions have been established for a large'
variety of industrial processes, but when the requirements are unknown
it may be necessary to determine them by laboratory tests or by research.
When the requirements are not. definitely specified it is advisable to
design the equipment to be flexible and to provide for future increase of facilities and capacity. Air conditioning requirements for human comfort'
are defined in Chapter 12. If the atmospheric conditions required for the process are not within the range of human, comfort, separate consideration must be given to the maintenance of conditions which will not have a
detrimental effect upon the health of the occupants.
.
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS REQUIRED
'
The most desirable relative humidity for processing depends upon the
product and the nature of the process. As far as the behavior of the.
material and its desired final condition are concerned, each material and
process presents a different'problem. The desirable relative humidity
may range from a low.of 5 per cent, as in certain industrial applications,
such as insulation winding processes, up . to a condition approaching
saturation, as in processes relating to textiles, tobacco and baking
industries.
.
. .....
:.
Similarly, the most favorable temperature will.vary according to the
specific material and particular process. Frequently a compromise
between the known optimum condition for processing and that required;
for reasonable worker comfort is desirable. This is particularly true where
unconfined processes are required in departments where people are
working and their: health, comfort and productive efficiency must be
considered.
' . . .
It is generally recognized that relative humidities of 50 per cent or'
less are on the dry side. Such conditions are conducive to low regains
in hygroscopic materials, drying out, increased brittleness. of fibrous
materials, prevalence of increased static electricity and tendencies toward
increased dust liberation from the product. Relative humidities higher
than 50 per cent are considered to be on the damp side. These con
ditions are conducive to high regain, promote softness'and pliability in
materials, decrease static electricity and tendencies toward reduced
generation of product dust which represents a loss in weight of the
materia! in process.

CHAPTER 45
1946 Guide
In many processes, the optimum desired air conditions are variable according to the stage and progress of the processing cycle, from the raw material'to the finished product. Some materials, such as cotton textiles, begin with a low relative humidity in the carding and picking rooms, and after passing through the various intermediate steps with a gradual increase of relative humidity, the product is subjected to relative humidi ties of from 75 to 85 per cent in the final stage of weaving. Other pro- . cesses are encountered that require the reverse of this procedure, starting with a high relative humidity and finishing with a low relative humidity, as is the case when producing glue and gelatinous materials and making gelatine capsules.
In some cases the temperatures listed in Table 1 have no direct influence upon the product itself, except for effect upon efficiency of the employees which in turn affects workmanship, uniformity and the cost of pro ' duction. In this category may be included the automobile assembly line. The time necessary to assemble the many parts into a complete unit is a factor recognized and associated with the worker's comfort, and the avoidance of fatigue with subsequent loss of efficiency..
i; f
Air conditioning contributes an important role during the processing, machining and honing of precision metal parts, instruments, tools, engines,
guns, etc., which'demand micrometric accuracy of dimensions, and which
are affected by small temperature variations. Hence, some uniform con
dition is usually selected, both as to temperature and humidity to serve
the demands of the worker's comfort and the exacting requirements of
' the process.
.
The temperatures and relative humidities listed in Table 1 should be
analyzed in relation to the qualified requirements of the process. Con
ditions generally acceptable for industrial processing and for general storage
are listed in these tables. While it is true that many storage require
ments demand the control of some fixed air temperature and relative
humidity condition, to hold and preserve the contents, it is not generally
referred to' as processing.
'.
.
;
Logically many phases of drying may be included in the category of
air. conditioning for industrial processing, especially where temperature
and humidity, by direct influence to- product, bring about some definite .
change in physical characteristics as well as in weight. (See also Chapter
47;) As an illustration, refer to the conditions. that are required to .
control the rate of crystallization in coating pans in which sugar syrup'
; is.applied :to.various forms .of pills, nuts, gum, etc., in consecutive liquid
doses, until a.crystallized coating or jacket is built up to the required size
and thickness.. Here, the primary problem is one of drying which requires
' the supply of air at some fixed volume and velocity along with regulated,
control.of both dry- and wet-bulb temperatures. The wet-bulb depression
determines the rate of moisture pick-up? or drying by the air and may be
termed the drying head. Of equal importance is the uniformity at which '
the wet-bulb. is maintained.. If this is allowed to vary, poor results will
fpllqw;due' tij. checking and cracking, of the unfinished, coating. This is
obvious, when'i-Lis,realized: that .continuous evaporation of moisture is
taking place during the process and also that the temperature of the
material corresponds . to.'the air. wet-bulb .temperature and will vary .
accordingly. With undue, expansion and'contraction with every tem-
' perature change, the thin crystallized coatings which are not elastic will
check and crack before the process is completed. ' '

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Air conditioning apparatus for industrial purposes must be capable of absorbing heat from various sources such as machinery power, electric lights, people, sunlight and chemical reactions; of warming or.cooling to any desired temperature; and of providing ample air supply. Refrigera tion may or may not be required, depending upon natural conditions, the required relative humidity and the maximum permissible temperature. Washing, purifying and treating the air may be desirable. Good distri bution is essential for the control of air motion and for the prevention of uneven conditions. Air velocity should not be so high that it will cause damage to the commodity or interfere with the industrial process. Accurate, sensitive and reliable automatic control of humidity or tem perature is vital in most cases.
. Outside weather conditions and the ventilation required for workers are of secondary importance in relation to the total work to be done by the air conditioning system. In extreme cases of high concentration of industrial heat from machinery and ovens the error of entirely omitting the heat gain through the building structure would not be. serious. At the other extreme, where low temperatures must be produced with re frigeration and where comparatively little power is required by the machinery, the heat gain through the building structure will become the major factor in determining the size of equipment and in this case the .
ventilation requirement assumes importance.
Buildings which are to be air conditioned should therefore be designed with careful consideration of over-all cost and efficiency. Condensation resulting from high humidities must be prevented by suitable materials and construction, or else collected and drained to prevent loss of product or quick deterioration of the structure. Air leakage or filtration may add greatly to operating costs or make the maintenance of low humidities (relative or absolute) wholly impossible. Low temperatures require good insulation.
It is apparent that the subject of air conditioning for industrial processes
is extensive and greatly involved, and that a detailed treatment is there
fore beyond the scope of this chapter.
.
CLASSIFICATION OF PROBLEMS
Any industrial air conditioning problem maybe listed under one or more of the following five classifications: (1) control of regain, (2) control of rate of chemical reactions, (3) control of rate of biochemical reactions, (4) control of rate of crystallization, and (5) elimination of static electricity.
Control oi Regain
'
In the manufacture or processing of hygroscopic materials such as textiles, paper, wood, leather, tobacco and foodstuffs, the temperature and relative humidity of the air have a marked influence' upon the rate of production and upon the weight, strength, appearance and general
quality of the product. This influence is due to the fact that the moisture
content of materials having a vegetable or animal origin, and to a lesser
extent minerals in certain forms, comes to equilibrium with the moisture
of the surrounding air.
..
In industries where the physical properties of a product affect its value,
the percentage of ,moisture is of special importance. With increase in.' moisture content, hygroscopic materials ordinarily become softer and . more pliable. Standards of regain are firmly fixed in trade with fair

penalties for excesses. Deficiencies result in loss of revenue to seller and
loss of desirable quality to buyer.
'
.
Manufacturing economy therefore requires that the moisture content
be maintained at a percentage favorable to rapid and satisfactory manipu
lation and to a minimum loss of material through breakage. A uniform
condition is desirable in order that high speed machinery may be adjusted
permanently for the desired production with a minimum loss from delays,
wastage of raw material and defective product.
.. .
.
In the processing of hygroscopic materials, it is usually necessary to
secure a final moisture content suitable for the goods as shipped. Where
the goods are sold by weight, it is proper that they contain a normal or
standard moisture content.
..
Moisture Content and Regain
The terms moisture content and regain refer to the amount of moisture
in hygroscopic materials. Moisture content is the more general term and
refers either to free moisture (as in a sponge) or to hygroscopic moisture
(which varies with atmospheric conditions). It is usually expressed as a
percentage of the total weight of material. Regain is more specific and
refers only to hygroscopic moisture. It is expressed as a percentage of the
bone-dry weight of material. For example, if a sample of cloth weighing
100.0 grains is dried to' a bone-dry weight of 93.0 grains, the loss in weight,
or 7.0 grains,, represents the weight of moisture originally contained. This
expressed ;as a percentage of the total weight (100.0 grains) gives the
moisture content or 7 per cent. The regain, which is expressed as a per-
...............................
. 7.0
centage of the bone-dry weight, is
or 7.5 per cent.
The use of the term regain does not imply that the material as a whole
has been completely dried out and has re-absorbed.moisture. During the
processing of certain textiles, for instance-, complete drying during manu
facturing is avoided as it might appreciably reduce the ability of the
material to re-absorb moisture. A basis for calculating the regain of
textiles is obtained by drying, under standard conditions, a sample from
the lot and the dry weight thus obtained is used as-a basis in the calcu
lations to determine the regain.
.
The moisture content of a hygroscopic material at any time depends upon the nature of the material and upon the temperature and especially the relative humidity of the air to which it has been exposed. 'Not only do different materials acquire various percentages-of moisture-after prolonged; exposure to a given atmosphere, but the rate' of absorption or drying varies with the nature of the material, its thickness and density.
Table 2 shows the regain or hygroscopic moisture content of several
organic and inorganic materials when in equilibrium at a dry-bulb tem
perature, of 75 F and various relative humidities. The effect of relative
humidity on regain of hygroscopic substances is clearly indicated'. The
effect of temperature is comparatively unimportant.- In the case of
cotton, for instance, an increase in temperature of 10 F has the same
effect on regain as a decrease in relative humidity of one per cent. Changes
in temperature do, however, affect the rate-of absorption or drying.
Sudden changes in temperature cause temporary fluctuations in regain
even when the relative humidity remains stationary....
'
The regain or moisture content affects the physical properties of textiles
to a marked degree, changing the strength, pliability and elasticity.
The fact that the regain of textiles will come into equilibrium with the

conditions of the surrounding air and vary with its temperature and relative humidity is the fundamental basis for the control of, physical qualities-during manufacture. During the preparation processes in-a cotton mill, the cotton fibers should be in a condition to be easily carded.
These, preliminary processes are carried out best in a relative humidity

CHAPTER 45
1946 Guide
of 50 to 55 per cent. As the cotton fiber comes to the spinning operation, more flexibility is needed and the relative humidity is increased in this department. For many years, 65 per cent relative humidity was con sidered the optimum. To offset the extra work performed on the fiber as the spindle speed is increased; many cotton mills now carry 70 per cent. relative humidity in the spinning rooms `. Winding, warping and weaving are all processes calling for great flexibility and a consequent need for higher humidity.
Other textile fibers, due to their different natural characteristics, are processed under relative humidities and temperatures applicable to each..
Rayons, on account of great loss of strength with the higher regains, should be processed in a relative humidity of 55 to 70 per cent. Acetate silk, another chemical fiber, with approximately 50 per cent of the regain of rayon, may be processed between 60 and 65 per cent relative humidity.
All hygroscopic materials when in the state of absorbing moisture from
the surrounding air produce a sensible heat rise to the air equivalent to
the latent heat released by air to the material. This adiabatic conversion
may account for a small percentage of the total heat load of the con
ditioned space.
`.
Conditioning and Drying
In general, the exposure of materials to desirable conditions for treat ment may be coincidental with the manufacture or processing of the materials, or they may be treated separately in special enclosures.' This latter treatment may be classified as conditioning or drying. The purpose of conditioning or drying is usually to establish i. desired condition of moisture content and to regulate the physical properties of the material.
When the final moisture content i? lower than the initial one, the term drying is applied. If the final moisture content is to be higher, the process is termed conditioning. In the case of some textile products and tobacco, for example, drying and conditioning may be combined in one process for the dual purpose of removing undesirable moisture and accurately regu lating the final moisture content. Frequently conditioning or drying is . made a continuous process in which the material is conveyed through an . elongated compartment by suitable means and .subjected to controlled .atmospheric conditions. '
Control ol Rate of Chemical Reactions
A typical example'of the second general classification, the control of
the rate of chemical reactions, occurs in the manufacture of rayon. The
pulp sheets are conditioned, cut to size, and passed through a mercerizing
process. It is essential that during this process close -control of both
temperature and relative humidity should be maintained. The tem
perature controls the rate of reaction directly, while the relative humidity
maintains a constant rate of evaporation from the surface of the solution
and obtains a solution of known strength throughout the mercerizing
period.
-, - - -
..
. Another well-known example in this class is. the drying of varnish which is an oxidizing 'process dependent upon temperature. High relative humidities have a retarding effect on the rate of oxidization at the surface . and allow the internal gases to escape freely as the chemical oxidizers cure the varnish from within. This produces a surface free from bubbles and a. film homogeneous, throughout. Desirable temperatures for drying
Industrial'Air Conditioning
831
varnish vary with the quality. A relative humidity of 65 per cent is
beneficial for obtaining die best processing results. 1
'
Control of Rate of Biochemical Reactions
.
In the field of biochemical control, industrial air conditioning has been
applied to many different and well-known products. All problems
involving fermentation are classed under this heading. As biochemistry
is a subdivision of chemistry, subject to'the same laws, the rate of reaction
may be controlled by temperature. An example of this is the dough room
of the modern bakery. Yeast develops best at a temperature of 80 F.
A relative humidity of 65 per cent is maintained sO as to hold the surface
of the dough open to allow the carbon dioxide gases formed by the fer
mentation to pass through and produce a loaf of bread, when baked, of
even, fine texture without large voids.
.
Another example of a similar process is found in the curing of maca roni. The' flour and water mixture is fermented and dried. As .it is necessary to have a definite amount of water present to carry on a fer mentation process, the moisture must be removed in a relatively short period to stop fermentation and prevent souring and in such a manner as to avoid setting up internal strains in the mixture. Best results are obtained with the correct cycles of both temperature and humidity..
The curing of fruits, such as bananas and lemons, also comes under this
classification. Bananas are treated somewhat differently and to accom
plish the required results, a cycle of temperatures and relative humidities
is used. The starches in the pulp of the fruit must be changed and the
skin cured and colored, after which the fruit is cooled to maintain as low
a rate of metabolism as possible. Ideal conditions range between 55 to
57 F and in no case should the temperature go below 49 F, as the starches '
then would become fixed and be indigestible.' '
;:
The curing of lemons is an entirely different problem. Bananas are
cured for a quick market, while lemons are held for a future market. The
process, therefore, varies in the temperature used. Temperatures from
54 tO 59 F have been found to be best suited for this process. A high
relative humidity of 88 to 90 per cent is necessary to hold shrinkage to a
minimum and, at the same time, develop the rind so'it will be sufficiently
tough to. permit handling.
.
Tobacco from the field to the finished cigar, cigarette, plug, or pipe
tobacco, offers another interesting example of what may be done by
industrial air conditioning in. the control of color, texture and flavor.
In the processing of tobacco, the first three classifications of air con
ditioning are involved, and only through close atmospheric control can
the best quality of the leaf be developed.
.
Control of Rate of Crystallization
.. .
-
The rate of cooling of a saturated solution determines the size of the crys
tals formed. Both dry- and wet-bulb.tempera.tures are of importance, as
the one controls the rate of cooling, while the other, through evaporation,
changes the density of the solution.
.. .
In the coating pans for pills, gum and nuts, a heavy sugar solution is;
added to the tumbling mass. As the water evaporates, each separate
piece is covered with crystals of sugar. A smooth, opaque coating is only.
. accomplished by blowing into the kettle the proper amount' of air at the
right dry- and wet-bulb temperatures.

CHAPTER 45

Elimination oi Static Electricity ,
The presence of static electricity is very detrimental to the satisfactory and economical processing of many light materials, such as textile fibers, paper, etc. It is also extremely dangerous where explosive atmospheres or materials are present. Fortunately,. this hazard is easily eliminated by increasing the relative humidity.
In attempting to eliminate static electricity, it must be borne in mind
that for successful elimination the air that actually comes "in contact
with the material in. the machine must be at a relative humidity of 50
per cent or more. As some machines consume a great deal of power
which is converted directly into heat, the temperature in the machine
may be considerably higher than the temperature adjacent to the machine
where the relative humidity is normally measured. In such cases, the
relative humidity in the machine will be appreciably lower than that
elsewhere in the room, and it may be necessary to maintain a room
relative humidity of 65 per cent, or even more, before the desired results
can be obtained.
'
CALCULATIONS
The methods for determining the proper heating and cooling loads for
the various industrial processes are similar to those outlined in Chapters
14 and 15. Because of the large number of motors and heat producing
units usually prevalent in an industrial application, it is particularly
important that operating allowances for the latent and sensible heat
loads be definitely ascertained and used in the calculations to determine
the total design load. '

IN many' industrial plants some type of exhaust system designed to collect and remove dusts, fumes, mists, vapors and gases is essential in order to promote efficiency, economy, and safety of operation. Defini tions of these various contaminants are included in Chapter 10, Air Contaminants.
The theory of air flow in an exhaust system, in the following paragraphs A to D will be found in a publication1 of the American Foundrymen's Association.
A. When the air flow producing equipment of an exhaust system is properly operated
it will produce a negative pressure (below atmospheric) in the exhaust side of the system
sufficient to overcome all resistance and to sustain the desired air velocity; and, further,
will overcome all resistances on the discharge or positive pressure side of the system so
that the air drawn through exhaust inlets will be discharged against atmospheric
pressure.
.
. B. An exhaust system is entirely.dependent on a sufficient volume of air flowing into
the exhaust inlets to catch the matter to be exhausted before such matter has an oppor
tunity to diffuse into the general atmosphere of the work place or room. ,
C. The velocity of the air flowing into an exhaust inlet is usually of secondary im
portance and' becomes an essential factor only when a certain velocity is required to *
overcome some force acting on the matter to be caught. The velocity within an exhaust
system is only important to the extent that it shall be sufficient to convey the entrained
matter and prevent it from settling or dropping out in the piping system. Velocity in .
terms of velocity pressure is most essential in designing a system because it is the basis
upon which all calculations are made. In testing and checking a system the velocity as
determined from the velocity pressure reading obtained by means of a Pitot tube is the
only true indication of the exact air flow in a pipe or system.
.
. D. The total pressure within an exhaust system is only of importance in determining
the power required to operate the system. Total pressure tests do not indicate the
proper functioning of an exhaust system as related to the volume and velocity of the air
flowing into, an exhaust inlet. .
...
s
General design information is included in this chapter which is intended
to relate primarily to industrial exhaust systems.
'
CLASSIFICATION OF SYSTEMS
In general there are two basic layouts of exhaust systems, the central and the multiple unit system. In. the central system a fan is located near, the center of operations with a piping system radiating to the various machines to be served. In the multiple unit system, which is. sometimes employed where the machines to be served are widely scattered, or where the operations are apt to be independent or intermittent, small individual exhaust fans are located at the center, of the machine groups or at each machine. The unit arrangement has the advantage of flexibility. .
Exhaust systems may be classified with respect to the nature of the material to be handled by them as (a) those handling dust and (6) those handling fumes, mists, vapors and gases. There is'a marked difference in design details, of; systems serving dust producing operations and those exhausting the more vapor-like matter even though the same basic
835
'836
CHAPTER 46
1946 Guide
theories govern both classes. The type of hood and exhauster, the adap
tion of general ventilation, the conveying velocities and duct construction
differ substantially.
'
Exhaust systems are also classified by the means employed to collect the material. The dust or refuse may be .collected and controlled by enclosed hoods or open hoods with positive inward air movement or by diluting or exhausting the general air of the room. With some classes of machinery it is not feasible to hood the machines closely and in these cases open hoods over or adjacent to the machines are provided to collect as much as possible of the dust and fumes. This class includes such machines as rubber mills, package filling machinery, sand blast, crushers, , forges, pickling, tanks, melting furnaces, and the unloading points of various types of conveyors.
Open hoods should be placed as close to the source of dust or fumes as
possible, with due regard to the movements of the operator, and should
be placed so that the operator is in no case in the path of the exhausted
material. When the hood must be placed at some distance above the
machine-it should be large enough to cover a large area as diffusion is
usually quite rapid.
. .
Some consideration should be given to the natural movement of the
fumes. For those that are lighter than air, the hood may be over or above
the machine; and where a heavy vapor, or dust-laden air at ordinary
temperature is to be removed, horizontal or floor connections U"e some
times preferable. In many cases there are convection currents and other
atmospheric disturbances in the work room which should be given con
sideration. These disturbances diminish the tendency of dust and fumes
to settle from the room air because of their density.
'
In another class of operation the main objective is to prevent the escape
of dust into the surrounding atmosphere, and the removal of some dust
from the machine or enclosure may be merely incidental. The dust-
creating apparatus is enclosed within a housing which is made as tight as
practicable, and sufficient suction is applied to the enclosure to maintain
an inward air leakage, thus preventing escape of the dust. While the
exhaust system is required to handle only the air which leaks in through
the crevices and openings in the enclosure, yet in many installations
leakages are very high and great care is required to obtain satisfactory
results with a system of this kind. The inward-leakage. principle is
. utilized for controlling dust in the operating of tumbling barrels, grinding,
screening, elevating, and similar processes.
.
Certain dust and fume producing operations are best carried on by isolating the process in a separate compartment or room and then apply ing general ventilation to this space. The compartment or room in which ' the work is performed should be as small as is consistent with convenience . in handling the work. The ventilating system should be designed so that a current of clean air is drawn across the work in such a manner as to carry the.dust or fume away from the operator and out of the work space. Another method of accomplishing the control of this type of installation, . and one usually applied in the case of gases and fumes, is the dilution method; In this case sufficient clean air is introduced generally into the work space tp dilute the contamination ,to a safe level.
: HOOD DESIGN PRINCIPLES2-3
The first step in the design of an exhaust system is to determine the number and size of the hoods and their connections. No general-rules,
Exhausting and Conveying Systems
837
however, can be given since hood and duct dimensions' are determined by
the characteristics of the operations to which they .are applied. When a
tentative decision regarding the set-up has been made, it is-then necessary
to obtain the suction and air velocities required to effect control. At this
point the designer must rely upon the prevailing practice and on such
physical data relating to hoods, duct systems and collectors as are avail
able. The fan speed must be sufficient to maintain the estimated suction
and air velocities in the system.-' In general, the-most important require
ments4.of an efficient exhaust and collecting systemare:
'
1. Hoods, ducts, fans, motors and collectors should be of adequate size and type.
2. The air velocities should be sufficient to control and convey the materials collected.
3. The hoods and ducts should be placed so as not to interfere with the operation of a
machine or any working part.
.. .
' 4. The system should do the required work with a minimum power consumption.
5. When inflammable dusts and fumes are conveyed, the piping should be provided with an automatic damper in passing through a fire-wall.
6. Ducts and all metal parts should be grounded to reduce the danger of dust ex
plosions by static electricity.
.
7. The exhaust system should be readily accessible for inspection and care. `
HOOD SUCTION AND INDRAFT VELOCITIES
The removal of dust or waste by means of an exhaust hood requires a
movement of air at the point of origin sufficient to carry it into a collecting
system. The air velocities necessary to accomplish this depend upon the
physical properties of the material to be eliminated and the direction and '
speed with which it is thrown off. If the dust to be removed is already,
in motion, as is the case with high-speed grinding wheels, the hood must
be installed in the path of the particles so that a minimum air volume
may be used effectively. It is always desirable to design and locate a
hood so that the volume of air necessary to produce results is as small as
possible. This will reduce the size of equipment, the power required by
the system, and also the heating load requirements in winter.
,
Air Flow from Static Readings
.'
The static suction at the throat of a hood is frequently used in practice as a measure of,the effectiveness of control. Where the hood coefficient is known the volume of air flow through any. hood may be determined from the equation:
where
Q = 4005 / A y/~kt .
(1) '.
Q -- volume of air flow, cubic feet per minute.
., _
A = area of connecting duct, square feet.
At = static suction measured 3 diameters from throat of hood, inches of water.
= orifice or restriction coefficient which varies from 0,6 to 0.9 depending on the
shape of the hood....
..
.
An average value of/is 0.71, although for a well-shaped opening a value of 0.8 may be used. The factor f is determined from the equation:

respect to the hood are known. This is clearly indicated by Equation 3 which shows that the velocity at any point along the axis varies approxi mately inversely as the square of the distance. This formula coupled with Equation 1 should serve to indicate the velocity conditions to be expected when operations are conducted externally to the hood opening.
Design Based on Total Air Flow
Where the foregoing factors are not known, the usual method of designing an exhaust system is to base theair flow through the system on rates of flow through: each hood which have been found by experience to provide adequate control. For woodworking systems the rates of flow given in Table 1, calculated on the basis of a branch velocity of 4000 fpm, are adequate for control. Using these air flow rates, Table 2 gives the size of pipe connections to be used with the more common wood working machines. Properly designed grinding and buffing wheel hoods have been found to be adequately controlled when the rates of air flow, given in Table 3, calculated on the basis of a branch velocity of 4500 fpm, are used. Table 4 gives, the minimum branch pipe sizes to be used on the more common sizes of grinding and buffing wheels.
In some states grinding, polishing and buffing wheels are- subject to.
regulation by .codes. (See Standards, Chapter 51.), The static suction
requirements, which range from 1J4 to 5 in. water displacement in a
[/-tube, must be followed in such states although in several instances
they appear to be excessive. Frequently, in these operations, a large part
of the wheel must be exposed and the dust-laden air within the hood, is
thrown outward by the centrifugal action of the wheel, thus counter
acting useful inward draft. This tendency may be diminished by locating
the connecting duct so as to create an air flow of not less than 200 fpm
past the lower edge of the-wheel.
:
.
Controlling Air Velocities
..
Exact determinations of hood control velocities are not available, but it is safe to assume that for most dusty operations velocities should not be less than 200 fpm at the noint of origin. . Recommended air velocities through hood openings for various processes are given in Table-5. For granite dust generated by pneumatic devices, velocities from 150 tq
840
CHAPTER 46
1946 Cuide
200 fpm, depending' on the type of hood used, are recommended as sufficient for safe control5. Considering the character of the industry, air velocities of this order may be extended to similar dusty operations. The method for approximately determining these velocities in terms of the velocity at the hood opening is given in Equation 3.
No set rule can be given regarding the shape of a hood for a particular operation, but it is well to remember that its essential function is to create an adequate velocity distribution. The fact that the zone of greatest effectiveness does not extend laterally from the edges of the opening may frequently be utilized in estimating the size, of hood required. Where complete enclosure of a dusty operation is contemplated, it is desirable to leave enough free space to equal the area of the connecting duct. Hoods for grinding, polishing and buffing should fit closely, but at the same time should provide an easy means for changing the wheels. ` It is advisable to design these hoods with a removable hopper at the base to capture the heavy dust and articles dropped by the operator. Such provisions are of assistance in keeping the ducts clear. Air volumes used to control many

diist discharges may often be reduced by effective baffling or partial
enclosure of an operation. This procedure is strongly urged where dusts
are directed'beyond the zone of influence of the hood.
Axial Velocity Formula for Hoods
When the normal flow of air into a hood is unobstructed, Equation 3 may be used to determine the air velocity at any point along the axis6:
:
: y -- 01 Q
X*+0.1A
where V = velocity at point, feet per minute.
Q = volume of air handled, cubic feet per minute.
x = distance along axis, feet.
A - area of opening, square feet.

Velocity Contours
"'
It is possible by use of a specially constructed Pitot tube' to map
contours of equal'velocity in any axial plane located .'in the field of in
fluence.' It has been found that-the positions of these contours for any
hood can be expressed, as percentages of the velocity at the hood opening
and are purely functions of the shape of the hood 8i
.
Exhausting and Conveying Systems
841
Further, the velocity contours are identical for similar hood shapes
when the hoods are reduced to the same basis of comparison. These facts
are applicable to all hood problems so that whefi the velocity contour
distribution is known, the air flow required can be-determined. Fig. 1-
shows the contour distribution in two axial planes perpendicular to the
sides of a rectangular hood with a side ratio of one-half. The distribu
tion shown is identical for all openings with, a-similar side ratio provided
the mapping is as shown in the figure. The contours, of: course, are
expressed as percentages of the velocity at the opening.
'. -
Low Velocity Systems
, . --
Oh multiple installations of the same operation it is often possible to institute a great saving in power cost by designing an exhaust system
' Velocity at the Opening
using low velocities in the main ducts. Such a system for use in grinding and shaping porcelain has been described9. . In these operations,' the separate machines are grouped around a central plenum-chamber and exhausted by means of a low pressure fan connected to the plenum. In this case a. power saying of over 90 per cent was obtained. A similar design technique10 has been described for use in ventilating plating tanks.
Large Open Hoods
'
Large hoods, such as may be used for electroplating and pickling tanks, should be sub-divided so the area of the connecting duct is not less than one-fifteenth of the open area of the hood.- Frequently, it will be.found necessary- to. branch the main duct in order to obtain, a uniform distri-:

. bution of flow. Canopy hoods should extend 6 in. laterally from the tank
for every 12 in. elevation, and. wherever possible they should have side . and rear aprons so as to prevent short circuiting of air from spaces-not
directly over the vats, or tanks.- . In most cases, hoods of this type take,
advantage of the natural tendency of the vapors to rise, and air velocities may be:kept low. -Cross drafts from.open doors or windows disturb the
rise of the vapors and therefore provision must be made for them. The air velocities required also depend upon the character of the vapors given off, cyanide fumes, for example, requiring an air velocity of approxi
mately 75 fpm on the surface of the tank and add and steam vapors requiring velocities as low as 25 to 50 fpm. The total volume of air flow
necessary to obtain these velocities may be approximately determined
from the equation:
. . . . . ..'
.
Q = 1.4 PD V
'
(4)
where
Q -- total volume of air handled by hood, cubic feet per minute. P -- perimeter of the tank, feet. D = distance between tank and hood opening, feet. V = air velocity desired along edges and surface of tank, feet per minute.
Lateral Exhaust Systems
The lateral exhaust method, as developed for chromium plating ll, is applicable in many instances in preference to the canopy type hoods. The method makes use of drawing air and fumes laterally across the top of vats or tanks into slotted ducts at the top and extending fully along one or more sides of the tanks. The slots are 1 in*, wide and for effective ventilation a 2000 fpm exhaust air velocity at the slot face is advisable. In addition, the duct should not be required to draw the air laterally for a distance of more than 18 in. and the level of the solution should be kept 6 to 8 in. below the top of the tanks. If width of tank is over'18 in. a double lateral exhaust may. be used with slots on both sides. .
It has also been determined that a similar control may be used for tanks
wider than 3 ft when the same velocity (2000 fpm) is maintained through
a slot which is increased in. for every foot of width greater than 3 ft.
When these slots must be extended more than 6 ft in length, some method
of spreading the flow is necessary to provide even air flow distribution
through the entire slot length. This can be accomplished by tapering the
slot, which incidentally will add to the resistance of the system. A more
economical approach is to place properly spaced-vanes in the side ducts,
or to branch the side ducts u. ,
`
The flexible exhaust tube method may be advantageously used for
removing dust or fumes. Flexible tubes having one end connected to an
exhaust system and a slotted hood attached to the other end, may be
shaped at will to fit in with industrial processes without affecting the ease
of operation. Efficient dust or. fume removal' may be had with use of
relatively, small exhaust volumes. /This type of system may be. used, on
swing grinders, -portable grinding wheels,: spidering operations, stone
cutting, rock drilling, etc.
`.
Spray Booths .
-
. In the'design of an efficient spray booth, it is essential to maintain an even distribution of airflow through the opening and:about the object being sprayed: While in many instances spraying operations can be
Exhausting and Conveying Systems
843
performed mechanically in wholly enclosed booths, the volatile vapors may reach injurious or explosive concentrations. At all times the con centrations of these vapors, and particularly those containing benzol,
should be kept well below 100 parts'per million in the breathing zone of the worker. Spray booth vapors are dangerous to the health of the worker and care should be taken to minimize exposure to them.
It is recommended in the design of spray booths that the exhaust duct
be located at the end of the booth opposite the opening. In front of this
duct should be placed baffle plates which will cause a uniform air velocity
distribution across the frontal area. The air volume should be sufficient
to maintain a velocity of not less than 100 fpm over the open area of the
booth (150 fpm is preferable where benzol or lead is present in the paint)
and the vapors should be discharged through a suitable stack to permit
dilution. It is good practice to pass the fumes or vapors through baffle
type washers or scrubbers designed for efficient spray' removal.
,
Hoods for Chemical Laboratories .
Hoods' used in chemical laboratories are generally provided with sliding windows which permit positive control of the fumes and vapors evolved by the apparatus. Their design should offer easy access for the installation of chemical equipment and should be well lighted: Air velocities should exceed 50 fpm when the window is fully open..
Kitchen Hoods
.
-
The length and width of kitchen hoods should be such as to extendbeyond the extreme projection of the ranges, broilers, etc., over which they are installed. The minimum projection or overlap should be 12 in. Where space conditions permit, range hoods should be about 2 ft high so as to provide a reservoir to confine momentary bursts of smoke and steam until the exhaust system can evacuate the hood. Range hoods should be.located as low as possible to increase their effectiveness.
A' steel plate placed horizontally within a kitchen hood and located sufficiently high above the level of the bottom of the hood to permit use, of a row of lights within the hood along the edge has been found effective in improving the operation. The area between the edges of the plate and the edges of the hood should be selected according to the exhaust volume and velocity required.
In general the amount of air to be' exhausted from restaurant range hoods is at the rate of 100 fpm per square foot of face area. Thus, a hood 4.5 ft wide by 30 ft long has a face area of 135 sq ft, which multiplied by 100 fpm velocity results in a total air quantity to be exhausted of 13,500 cfm. In some cases, where the application is principally frying and where it is not practical to install a hood 2 ft high, it is recommended that the face velocity be increased from 100 to 150 fpm, depending on peak load con ditions in the kitchen., Exhaust connections to range hoods should always be made at the top and back of hoods, and should be spaced pref erably not more than 6 ft apart and be. rectangular in shape with the long side parallel to the back of the hood. Exhaust openings into range hoods should be designed to maintain a velocity of 1500 to 1800 fpm:
An approved fire damper with fusible link should be (and is required by code in many states)'installed in the main exhaust duct or branch adjacent to tlje range hood. -:Should there.be more than, one hood con nected to a common-duct, then'the branch duct to each hood should be. provided with a fire damper. Access doorsishould be.provided at the fire
844
CHAPTER 46
1946 Guide '
damper for purpose of inspection, cleaning, or for renewal of fusible link.
All exhaust piping to range hoods, commonly called grease ducts, should be provided with tight fitting cleanout doors of adequate size to permit easy removal of grease. Some engineers use filters to advantage in hoods
which are subject to grease conditions. . -
Hoods over steam tables should be of similar construction to range hoods. It is good practice to design such hoods with a face velocity of 60 to 70 fpm. Hoods over dishwashing machines are usually relatively small and generally 1500 to 2000 cfm per hood is allowed, which is equivalent to a velocity of approximately. 100 fpm per square foot of face area: Range hoods in diet kitchens are constructed the same as restaurant range hoods but with less exhaust air per square foot of face area, depending
upon the nature of the food cooked.
r
Hoods are not often used in private residences unless they are quite
large and the consideration of expense is not important.' For such
residences the hoods should be designed on the same basis as diet kitchens.
Most all residence kitchens can be effectively and economically venti
lated by the installation of a built-in kitchen ventilator, which should be
located in an outside wall and in close proximity to the kitchen range.
It has been found that the capacity-of the built-in kitchen ventilator
should be at least 350 cfm regardless of the size of kitchen. This can be
justified on the basis that the smaller the kitchen the more concentrated
the heat will be thus requiring a more rapid rate of air change. Standard
size built-in kitchen ventilators are generally available in three sizes,
namely 350, 500 and 800 cfm. The proper size to use will depend on
design conditions and available wall space.
-
DUCT SYSTEM DESIGN
In' designing a duct system it is necessary to recognize a few funda mental principles (see also Chapter 41). Knowing the quantity of air required, the size of the duct may be computed from Equation 5: '
where
A = cross-section area of duct, square feet.
. Q = air quantity to be handled by the duct, cubic feet per minute.
V = velocity of air, feet per minute.
..
'
Aii Velocities in Ducts .
.
Where it is necessary to transport the particulate material collected in
an exhaust system, minimum carrying velocities must be maintained in
the ducts preceding the collector. It has been found that good results
are obtained when design air velocities in horizontal runs are not less than
, 2000 fpm or not greater than 5000 fpm. When the dust being carried is
organic and other than wood flour, or similar material, a velocity of 2500
fpm is adequate. Approximate required conveying velocities are given
in Table 6.
'.
.
..For duct systems wherein the air has no dust .or solid load, a lower
velocity is desirable, which may range from 1200 to 2000 fpm. In view
' of the fact, that the horsepower required by a system depends, directly
ori the resistance and the resistance is a function of the velocity, eco-
nomicahdesign requires velocities of this magnitude. '
.
Exhausting and Conveying Systems
845
The equal friction method is generally used for designing a duct system
as this insures equal resistance to air flow in all branches throughout the
System (see Chapter 41). Long main ducts do not generally provide the
most economical layout. Where it is necessary to ventilate a large number
of machines, or machines which are widely, separated, it is desirable to
locate the fan at approximately the center of the system. With this
arrangement it is possible to choose a fan which will deliver the required
air quantity against a lower resistance pressure, and this will generally
result in a horsepower saving.
- .
When a system carrying dust is designed with'an oversize main duct to allow for future extension; the air velocity may be found to be too low to carry the dust, and serious plugging may occur.. In this case it is desirable to install an orifice in the end of the pipe to allow for the lower air quantity.
Construction
.
.
The interior of all ducts.should be smooth and free from obstructions
at joints and soldered air-tight. Other sealing mediums are permissible
where soldering is impracticable.
'.
Ducts should be constructed of galvanized sheet metal except when the presence of corrosive fumes or gases, temperatures above 400 F, or other factors would make galvanized material impractical. For the usual exhaust systems the metal thicknesses shown on Table 7. are recom mended. Elbows and angles should be a minimum of two gages heavier than straight lengths of equal diameter. Hoods should be a minimum of two gages heavier than straight sections of a connecting branch.
Longitudinal joints of ducts should be lapped and riveted or spotwelded on 3-in. centers maximum. Girth joints or ducts should be made with lap in direction of air flow, with 1 in', lap for duct diameters through 19 in. and in. lap for diameters over 19 in. Elbows and angles should have an inside or throat radius of two pipe diameters whenever possible. Large radii are recommended for heavy concentrations of highly abrasive dusts. Elbows 6 in. or less in diameter should be constructed of at least 5 sections and, if over 6 in. in diameter, of 7 sections, with angles pieced proportionally. Hoods should be free of sharp edges or burrs and re-, inforced to provide necessary stiffness. 'Transitions in mains and submains should be-tapered with a taper 5 in. long for each 1 in. change in diameter whenever possible. All branches should enter the main at the large end of the transition at an angle not to exceed 45 deg or preferably 30 deg. Branches sho.uld be connected only to the top or sides of mains, with no two branches entering diametrically opposite to each other. Dead end caps should be provided within 6 in. from last branch of all mains and sub-mains. Cleanouts should be provided every 10 ft and near each elbow, angle, or duct junction in horizontal sections.
Ducts should be supported sufficiently to place no loads on connected equipment and to carry weight of a system plugged with material. The

maximum distance between supports should be 12 ft for 8 in. or smaller
ducts and 20 ft for larger ducts. Six in. minimum clearance should be
provided between ducts, and the ceiling, wall or floor. Blast gates for
adjustment of the system should be placed near the connection of a
branch to the main and means of locking gates after the adjustments
have been made should be included. Rectangular ducts should be. used
only when clearances prevent the use of round construction. Rectangular
ducts should be as nearly square as possible. The weight of metal and
the lap, and other construction details, should be the equal of round duct
construction having a diameter equal to the longest side. All pipes
passing through roofs should be equipped with,collars so arranged as to
prevent water from leaking into the building.
.
The main trunks and branch pipes should be as short and straight as possible.
Cleanout openings having suitable covers should be placed in the main and branch pipes so that every part of the system can be easily reached in case the system clogs. Either a large cleanout door should be placed in the main suction pipe near the fan inlet, or a detachable section of pipe, held in place by lug bands,'may be provided.
Every pipe, should be kept open and unobstructed throughput its entire
length, and no fixed screen should be placed in it, although the use of;'1
a trap at the junction of the hood and branch pipe is permissible, provided
it is not allowed to fill up completely. The passing of pipes through fire
walls should be avoided wherever possible, and floor sweep connections
should be so arranged that foreign material cannot be easily introduced
into them-
.
At the point of entrance of a branch pipe with the main duct, there
should be an increase in the latter equal to their sum. Some state codes
specify that the combined area be increased by 25 per cent. While this
is not always good practice and is frequently done at the expense of a
reduced air velocity, it is often done where future expansion of the exhaust
system is contemplated.
'
Duct Resistance
'
The resistance to flow in any galvanized: duct riveted and soldered at the joints may be obtained from Fig. 2, Chapter 41. The1 pressure, drop through elbows depends upon the radius of the bend. For elbows whose centerline radii vary from .100 to 300 per cent of pipe diameter, the loss may be. estimated from Table 8.. It is sometimes'convenient to express the resistance of an elbow in terms of an equivalent length of duct of the
same diameter. Thus with a center line radius equal to the pipe diameter the resistance is. equivalent to a section of straight pipe approximately

AIR CLEANING EQUIPMENT
Primary dust separators depend for'their air cleaning action on centri-
fuging out the dust particles or on imparting to the transporting air
stream a'quick change in direction, accompanied by a sudden reduction
in velocity. They may be applied to exhaust systems from polishing and
buffing wheels and, in some cases, as a preliminary separator ahead of a
final dust arrester.
'
.'
Dust particles which cannot be caught in inertia type separators are usually removed by one of the following methods: -
1. Filtration. Of the filter arresters the cloth type, either of the screen,. . envelope, or bag construction, is most generally used for industrial ex-
haust systems. Cloth arresters properly engineered for this job and handling dust for which they are suited operate at a good efficiency.
2. Wet Collectors. Wet collectors have been in use for many years, but only recently have been introduced for collection of industrial dust fromexhaust systems. They are particularly applicable where moisture is present in the air being exhausted. The resistance is relatively low
in wet collectors suitable for dust removal and remains constant for a given exhaust system.
1
3. High-tension Electrical Precipitation. High-tension electrical preci- ' pitation. has been applied to removal of dust, fumes, and mists from air. and other gases. (See section on Electric Precipitators in Chapter 33.)
4. Dynamic Precipitators. This equipment effects removal of entrained
dusts by means of a specially designed fan in which the rotating element
imparts a centrifugal-force to the dust particles. Originally these preci-
pitators were intended for the collection of dry dust, but recently the
construction has been modified to permit the introduction of water into
the dirty air intake, thus increasing its application to more kinds'of dust.
Consideration must be given to the type of: dust handleda. ,

RESISTANCE OF SYSTEM
The maintained resistance of the exhaust system is composed of three .
factors: (1) loss through the hoods, (2) collector drop, and (3) friction
drop in the duct system.
, .
The loss through the hoods is usually assumed to be equal to the suction maintained at the hoods.. Where possible the resistance of the particular collector to be used should be obtained from the manufacturer. .

Friction drop in the pipes must be computed for each section wherethere is a change in area or in velocity. The velocities should be found in each section of pipe starting with the' branch most remote from the fan.. The friction drop for these sections can' be determined by reference to Table 8 in this chapter and Fig. 2, Chapter 41. Total friction loss in the : piping system is the friction drop in the most remote branch plus the drop in the various sections of the main, plus the drop in the discharge pipe.
EFFICIENCY OF EXHAUST SYSTEMS
The efficiency of an exhaust system depends upon its effectiveness in
reducing the concentration of dusts, fumes, vapors and gases below the

AIR FLOW PRODUCING EQUIPMENT
In any type of exhaust system some form of air flow producing equip ment should be required to create the pressure necessary .to cause the air
Exhausting and Conveying Systems

to flow through the system to the discharge stack. Natural draft should not be depended on to remove harmful or dangerous gases, fumes, mists, dusts, or other matter when it is imperative that such matter be removed from the work place or room atmosphere.
The principal types of air moving equipment are chimney exhausts,
venturi ejectors, centrifugal exhaust fans, disc or propeller fans, and
axial flow fans16.
'.
Manufacturers generally provide special fans for the collection of various industrial wastes. These are available for the collection of coal dust, wood shavings, wool, cotton and many other substances. When substances haying ah abrasive character are conveyed, the fan blades and housing should be protected from wear. This may be accomplished by placing a collector on the negative side of the fan or by lining the housing and blades with rubber.
PROTECTION AGAINST CORROSION
The removal of gases and fumes in many chemical plants requires that metals used in the construction of the exhaust system be resistant to chemical corrosion. A list of the materials which- may be used to resist the action of certain fumes is given in Table 9. Hoods and ducts, when short, may frequently be constructed of wood and be quite effective! Rubberized paints are available and may be applied as protective coatings in handling such gases and fumes as chlorine and hydrochloric acid.

Methods .
DRYING, in its broader sense, refers to the removal of water, or other volatile liquid from either a gaseous, liquid, or solid material. In practice, the process of direct, drying gaseous material is referred to
generally as dehumidifying, or condensing, and in.some cases chemicals
are used in the adsorption or absorption of moisture. The subject of
dehumidification is treated in Chapter 38. Drying a liquid is called evaporation or distillation. The common usage of the word drying
refers to the removal of water or other liquid, such as a solvent, by
evaporation from a solid material.
When the solid to be dried contains large amounts of free water, the
actual drying process is frequently preceded by the removal of part of the
- water by some mechanical means, such as filtration, settling, pressing or
centrifuging. Removal of as much water as possible by such methods is
usually advisable, as the cost of these operations, per pound of water
removed, is generally much less than by evaporation. In some drying processes the evaporation of the liquid is accompanied by a chemical change, as in the drying of paint and varnish. '
DRYING METHODS
Heat must be supplied in order to dry a solid by evaporation. Since
this latent heat is large compared with the specific heat of the materials,
drying becomes largely a problem in heat transfer. Hence drying methods
are often classified according to the method of heat transfer used, as
follows:
'.
1. Radiant-heat drying.
.
2. Drying by direct contact, and conduction:
3. Convection or air drying.
.-
..
''
Radiant-Heat Drying
. ..
Drying by sun heat is still practiced where danger of rain is slight, . atmospheric pollution is. negligible, and sufficient time can be allowed.
Radiating surfaces, (heated by steam, electricity or other means), afford
a good method of heat distribution and control. Radiant heating sets up
convection currents, and in low-temperature dryers only about one-third
to one-half of the total heat for evaporation is'actually supplied to the
material by radiation. At high temperatures the radiation output , in
creases rapidly, according to thz fourth-power law. The total radiation
may be computed by the equations and. tables given in Chapter 5. In
general, fins and irregular surfaces do not increase radiation, hence the
area to be used in calculations' is the area of a smooth-surface envelope
enclosing the radiating elements.-
.
A certain amount of air circulation is required through a radiant dryer,
in order to carry off the vapor. -

Conduction or Direct Contact Drying
Drying rolls or drums, flat surfaces, open kettles and immersion heaters are examples of' the direct-contact method: Intimate contact of the material with the heating surface is important, and in some cases agitation is desirable to increase the uniformity of heating or to prevent overheating.
Greatest resistance to heat transfer occurs on the air side of the material
being dried. The rate of heat transfer from the surface of the heated
material to the air, and hence the rate of drying, may be increased by: (a)
forced convection or air circulation; and (b) vacuum operation to lower
the boiling point of the liquid being evaporated.
'. .
.
Convection or Air Drying
.'
The circulation of heated air or other gases over the material being dried is termed convection drying. Some convection drying occurs in
practically all types of dryers, but if the main source of heat is from the air
or gases, the dryer may. be called a convection dryer. Typical forms or
examples may be enumerated: .' .
:.
1. Rotary drum dryers, (Fig. 1). : . .. '
2. Tunnel or oven dryers, batch type.
3. Tunnel dryers, conveyor type, (Figs. 3 and 4).
4. Tower or column dryers.
5. Through-circulation dryers; (Fig. 2).
. .
...
'.
. ,.
In any type of convection dryer the heat transfer and hence the drying-
depends primarily upon the surface area of material exposed to the air
and the velocity of the air over the surfaces (see . Dryer .Calculations,
later).
.
J
A general classification of several types of dryers is given in Table 1.
The chief basis of classification in this table is that of intermittent or
batch operation as opposed to continuous operation. Another important
basis of classification would be the method of handling the material to be
dried. In an effort to secure maximum contact of the air with the prod
uct,. as well as uniformity of heating, the effectiveness of cascading the
material in an inclined drum or of blowing heated air through a bed of
granular or pre-formed material is at once apparent, and where con
tinuous drying at high capacity is required, these types are preferred.-
Extensive experimental studies on both types, are available, (see
References).

CHAPTER 47'
: 1946 Guide
Simple drying ovens are often used for drying smaller quantities of material.
The heat and humidity supply for low temperature work up to 250 F is often steam; steam coils, either in the oven or outside, heat the air used for drying. Circulation of heated oil is used to a limited extent, but the danger of leaks is serious, for if the oil is hotter than the flash point, a fire may start if the oil is released to the atmosphere. In many cases where steam is not available, direct or indirect-fired heaters are used with gas or oil as fuel. Indirect heaters should be carefully selected from a standpoint of long life and efficiency. The heat exchange surface should be adequate in area and easily accessible for cleaning and removal. For extremely high temperatures, alloy surface may be used. With- direct-fired equip ment care must be used in the selection of burners and sufficient com bustion space allowed to insure complete combustion of fuel. Humidity can be obtained in dryers by the use of steam spray, humidifiers, or recirculation.
For low temperature work up to 200 F ovens and dryers are commonly built of two thicknesses of insulating board (fireproof preferred), with air
space between. As the temperature increases, materials better able to
withstand the heat must be used. Metal lined ovens are easy to keep
clean, and many high temperature dryers up to 1000 F are made of metal
panels with insulation between. Care should be taken to avoid through
metal (metal extending through the oven wall from inside to out). Batch
type ovens are entirely closed while in use and control of air leakage is
easily taken care of. In the continuous dryer where the ends are open,
heat and air leakage becomes important. Warm air leaking out of the
ends of ovens means a heat loss, and often the, temperature and humidity
outside the oven becomes unbearable. For this reason, inclined or bottom
entry ovens are used, as the warm air leakage can be more easily con
trolled. See Figs. 3 and 4.
MECHANISM OF DRYING
The modern theory of drying may be summed up as follows: Assuming uniform velocity and distribution of air at a constant temperature and humidity over the surface to be dried, the drying cycle will be divided into two distinct stages:
1. Constant rate period. 2. Falling rate period,
',
The constant rate period occurs while the material being dried is still very wet, and continues as long as the water in the material comes to the

surface so rapidly that the surface remains thoroughly wet, and evaporaJ
. tion proceeds at a constant rate, precisely as from a free water surface.
The material tends ito assume a temperature corresponding to the wet-
bulb temperature of. the surrounding air. But the actual temperature is
-. often slightly higher, due to radiation and conduction from dry surfaces
. adjoining the material. The constant rate period continues until a time
is reached when the moisture no longer comes to the surface as fast as it is
evaporated. This point is called the critical moisture content in the drying
process.
:. .
As the drying proceeds, a period .of uniform jailing rate is entered.
During this period, the surface of the material is gradually.drying out, and
the rate of drying falls as the remaining wet surface decreases in area.
This period is also known as unsaturated surface drying. ,
.
'Asdrying continues, the surface is completely dry and. the water from
. the interior evaporates and comes through the surface as vapor. As the
plane of water recedes, the diffusion of the vapor becomes more difficult
and hence the period is known as varying falling rate period, of sub-surface
drying.
''
Drying ceases when the equilibrium moisture content has been reached.
, The final moisture content of the-product depends on the relative humidity
of the air in contact with it. Equilibrium is established when the vapor
pressure of the moisture in the air and the vapor pressure of the moisture
in the material are equal. The equilibrium moisture content varies with
the hygroscopic properties of the material, (see-table of Regain of Hygro
scopic Materials, Chapter 45).
.
The drying of a slab of whiting is shown in Fig. 5 and illustrates the principles referred to previously. The factors affecting the variations of drying rates during the periods mentioned are outlined in Table 2.
.Omissions in the Cycle '
:
Many solids, such as lumber, are so dry at the beginning of the drying operation that the constant rate period of free surface, evaporation does not occur. Frequently the surface of the material is dry enough so that no surface drying can take place, in which case only the final stage of sub surface drying is involved. In other instances, the critical moisture con-
Drying Systems
855
tent of a wet solid is sufficiently low.that sub-surface drying starts almost immediately, after the conclusion of-.the constant rate period. Thus the intermediate state of unsaturated surface drying does not occur and the drying is of the sub-surface type during practically the whole of the falling rate period. With other kinds of material, particularly thin sheets, such as newsprint paper, sub-surface drying may occur at such a low moisture content that it . is not encountered in commercial work, the falling rate period being confined in practice to unsaturated surface drying,

GENERAL RULES FOR DRYING
Temperature
The highest temperature possible should be used because of faster drying and smaller requirements for ventilation. The amount of moisture that can be carried by- a pound of air increases rapidly with rise in tem perature as shown in the humidity chart of Fig.' 6. Too high a tempera ture 'may cause spoilage of materials; many materials calcine or change their chemical properties if heated too.hot; gypsum and glauber salts lose some of the chemically combined water, fall'apart, and change their chemical properties. Too high or rapid rise in temperatures in drying
lumber oil ceramics may create'a liquid vapor tension within the material so high that the cells explode; causing permanent-injury to the fiber. If too high a temperature, is used on some chemicals, they, begin to react exothermally; a temperature, rise and chemical action from within; will 'burn the materials, e.g., bakelite products, gunpowder, etc. . During-the
constant rate period of drying, the; material heats only to the wet-bulb
temperature of the surrounding air, consequently; high temperatures will
not injure die material in this stage. ., r. ..

CHAPTER 47
1946 Guide
increases the drying time very much or causes a change of the physical properties of the material. It is often necessary to add humidity to the air in the initial stage of drying. Lumber case-hardens, cracks, and warps if the outside is dried too fast. Ceramics crack if not heated through before drying commences. . Elastic materials warp or crack if not even ly dried. Many paints,case-harden if not dried.under high humidity.
On the other hand, in the case of those materials whose physical or chemical properties require' that they be dried at relatively low tem peratures, high humidity tends to retard drying in the first stage and may even stop it altogether in the final stage. Where drying temperatures below42Q to 140 F are used, the drying rate may be highly dependent on atmospheric humidity conditions. In such instances it is often desirable to deKumidify the air entering the dryer during periods of high atmos pheric humidity; where a high degree of uniformity is required, it is often possible to secure complete independence of atmospheric conditions by recirculating the air in a closed system which includes a suitable dehu midifier. For this purpose absorptive dehumidifying systems have the advantage of accomplishing the desired reduction of humidity without appreciably elevating or lowering the dry-bulb temperature of the air; for this reason after-cooling is not required, and reheating is reduced to a -minimum. Dehumidifying systems are described in Chapter 38.
Air Circulation
'
As noted under Mechanism of -Drying, air velocity is more important in the first two stages of drying than in the last, and for this reason zone drying in continuous dryers is frequently considered. It permits accurate regulation of temperature, humidity, and velocity in the different zones. High velocity results in more rapid drying, more even distribution of temperature and consequently more even drying in the first period. Too high a velocity may be detrimental because of excessive power needed for creating it, or because the material may blow away if it is light and fluffy. In the drying of paints, varnishes, and enamels, high velocity or improper distribution of the air, even with theuse of filters, may cause dust already in the dryer to be blown against the material, ruining the finish.
DRYER CALCULATIONS
The fundamental calculations for the design and performance of dryers are based on the thermodynamics of air and water mixtures treated in Chapter. 3," and the fundamentals of heat transfer treated in Chapter 5. For the humidity calculations a high-temperature psychrometric chart is given in Fig. 6. In addition to the fundamental Heat transfer calculations of radiation, conduction and convection, the heat losses through the walls of the dryer will be computed by. the methods illustrated in Chapter 6 and Chapter 41. Data on radiation calculations are given in Chapter 31.
Where products of combustion are used directly in a dryer, a knowledge of the properties of fuels and combustion products is important. Data on fuels and combustion are given in Chapter 16. For determining the heat available in products of combustion,1 a specific heat of 0.25 Btu per (pound) (Fahrenheit degree) may be used. '
- The calculations for drying during the constant-rate period are different from those applying to the falling-rate period.
Constant-Rate Period
The rate of drying by air passing over a wet surface is directly pro portional to the vapor pressure difference, and also proportional to the

0.8 power of the air velocity. For practical calculations the wet surface is assumed to attain the wet-bulb temperature of the air passing over it, and evaporation takes place at constant rate under equilibrium condi tions.- The equation may then be expressed in three forms:

t
These equations are useful mainly for computing die effects of changes
in operating conditions, such as changes in air velocity, air temperature,
humidity and surface area. The equations assume that the material is in
. equilibrium at the wet-bulb temperature of the air. If equilibrium has {
; not been reached, or if heat is being added to the charge by radiation, or
conduction, such conditions must be taken into account. For large tray
.dryers or continuous surfaces, the logarithmic mean difference should be
substituted for the simple difference in AP, AH and A TV '
When the constant of proportionality is known for a given set of con
ditions, Equations 1, 2 or 3 may be applied for basic design, as illustrated
in Example 1.
'
Example 1. Compute the rate of drying, of a granular material initially 35.per cent
moisture (dry basis), if the material is spread iii trays and is to be dried by blowing air ..
horizontally over the surface at 1000 fpm. .The air is 140 F dry-bulb, 90 F wet-bulb.
` Density of the dry material is 85 lb per cubic foot, and the drying constant C", in
Equation 3, has been found to be about 1/25,0001' Find the size of dryer for a capacity
of one ton per hour (dry basis), and the time required for drying each batch from 35
to 10 per cent moisture content, if the.material is spread in trays,.in a layer one inch
thick, (The critical moisture content of the material is below 10 per cent, hence the
drying is at constant rate.)
-
.
...
Solution: Assume that the surface of the material attains the wet-bulb temperature
of the air, then AT = 140 ---90 -- 50 F. The rate of drying by Equation 3 is:
.
R = C" A V"0-8 AT =
nnn^ =0.50 lb of water per (hour) (square foot of surface).
The total water evaporated per square foot of surface is:

Drying Systems .
*59
Falling-Rate Period
. -.
The critical moisture content marks the end of the constant-rate period
and the beginning of the falling-rate period. This falling rate may be due
to the fact that the surface is no longer completely wetted, or it may result
from a condition in which the moisture cannot reach the surface as fast
as-it can be evaporated.. When this high resistance to capillary flow and
diffusion is the governing, factor in the drying process, the time of drying
increases rapidly with the thickness of the material. During constant-
rate drying the time required is directly proportional to the. thickness of
the bed (see Example 1), while the time required for drying during the
falling-rate period is often proportional to the square of the thickness of
the material.
...
Actual calculations of drying during the falling-rate period are not highly satisfactory because of the number of variables. It has been demonstrated empirically that the rate of drying is approximately pro portional to the free water content of the material.
An approximate value of the critical moisture content which marks the beginning of the falling-rate period may be obtained from Table 3..

DESIGN
In ..all drying problems, data regarding temperatures, time, and hu midity must be obtained by experiment or previous experience. Experi ments are best performed at the actual temperatures, humidities, and velocities to be used in the full sized dryer, and.with full size samples.

Subscript (1) designates conditions at the point where the material in question (air or stock) enters, and (2) where it leaves the dryer.
Air dryers may be divided into two classes, those in which all moisture evaporated from the stock leaves the dryer as vapor in the effluent air, and those in which part or all of the moisture is condensed from the air in the drying equipment itself. In any continuously operating dryer of the first type the relation between moisture content of the stock.and quantity of air required for the drying operation is given by the equation:
"
G (H, - Hi) = SO, - wO

number of periods, sufficiently short so that over each period average
values of t, i' and H may be employed provided the third term of the
right hand member of the equation is modified to read:
.
S< (<", - <",) (s' - wi)
and in the second term f'* be replaced by
.. .
. ..
-
'2
Theoretically these periods should be very short and the equation
integrated. Practically, the error introduced by using a small number of
long periods and employing average values of the variables over- each
is not serious. The evaluation of Equation 4a may be approximated in
a similar manner.
..
The first term of the right hand member of Equation 5 represents heat
lost as sensible heat in the effluent air. In many drying operations this
becomes excessive. Each pound of air supplied should remove the maxi
mum amount of moisture. This is best accomplished by bringing the air
into contact with the stock with sufficient intimacy so that the air leaving
the dryer is saturated, or nearly so. Counter-current as against parallel
flow of air and stock gives rise to optimum operating conditions, resulting
in a minimum quantity of air required (G), and a corresponding minimum
loss, as sensible heat, in the exit air. Similarly, continuous operation is
superior to intermittent.operation. . . '
'
Despite the fact that the sensible heat loss increases with the rise
in temperature of the air, the percentage of heat lost from this source
decreases, provided the increase in moisture carrying capacity of the air,
due to high temperature, is actually utilized. To secure maximum
thermal efficiency in drying, a high drying temperature and high satura-
' tion of the outlet air are imperative.

Ventilation Phase
..
',
The technique of attack of the ventilation phase of a drying problem is best made clear by an illustration. Assume that a material containing 40 per cent moisture is to be dried until this quantity of moisture is reduced to 5 per cent by weight. The material will stand an air tempera ture of 150 F and it is possible to provide sufficiently good contact between the material and the drying air so that the effluent air can be brought up to 50 per cent humidity at 150 F. The dryer is to use room air, the temperature and humidity of which may be assumed to average 70 F and 50 per cent. A counter-current'dryer will be employed and the air in this dryer will be kept at a substantially constant temperature of 150 F by heaters thermostatically controlled. The stock enters at 70 F, rises quickly to the wet-bulb temperature of the air, with which it is in contact, and, as has been found experimentally, remains at this wet-bulb temperature until the moisture content has fallen to 20 per cent. From this point its temperature rises progressively as it dries. In this range

Hi = 0.008, corresponding to 50 per cent humidity at 70 F. Consequently H, -- Hi =
A 7/ = 0.097 lb water evaporated per pound dry air.
.
An analysis of Equation 4 shows that (H) is linear in w. Hence, one can construct on Fig. 7, the line marked (H) being drawn connecting the initial and final points just computed.
Since the air leaving the dryer has a temperature of 150 F and a humidity of 0.105, Fig. 6 shows that its wet-bulb temperature is 129 F. This is plotted at the right hand side of Fig. 7. Since the stock maintains a wet-bulb temperature down to 20 per cent moisture, where w = 0.25, the corresponding humidity can be computed by the use of Equation 4 or by reading directly from the diagram, the value being 0.0392. Fig.-6 shows that the corresponding wet-bulb temperature is. 105 F. Any y

intermediate point on the wet-bulb temperature curve can be calculated
similarly. The points for w = 0.5 are shown in Fig. 7. .
.
Below the point, w = 0.25, the temperature of the stock begins to rise appreciably above the wet-bulb temperature. Its temperature at any given point in this range, for example at w = 0.15, may be computed as follows: At this point, H = 0.0234 (from Equation 4) and from Fig. 6,
The assumption made regarding the relation between stock temperature
and moisture.content in this.range may.be formulated:
.
'^ w
. < -- fa, = 0.25
.
At the point w = 0.15, At' = 33 F, t' = 117 F. The temperature of the stock leaving the dryer, similarly computed, is 136 F..
Fig. 7 thus computed gives in graphical form the information as to the temperature humidity relationships in the dryer. The air requirements can be computed by Equation 4. Thus, per 100 lb of dry stock, it is necessary to supply 633 lb of dry air. Furthermore, since from Fig. 6 it is seen that the volume of 50 per cent saturated air at 70 F is 13.55 cu ft per pound, 8580 cu ft of room air must be supplied per 100 lb dry stock. Similarly, since the volume of 50 per cent saturated air at 150 F is 18.0 cu ft per pound, the volume of hot wet air discharged from the dryer, is

ESTIMATING METHODS
Values based on practical experience are available for rough estimating
of drying problems. The temperature will drop approximately 8.5 F per
(grain of water evaporated) (cubic foot of air, measured at 70 F) or
approximately 0.62 F per pound of air at any temperature. Air will drop
55 F per cubic foot for each Btu extracted. Generally air will absorb
from 2 grains to 5 grains per cubic foot of air in one passage through an
air dryer, depending on the temperature and the degree of contact with
the material. The amount of steam required to evaporate a pound of
water will vary from 1.5 lb to a more usual figure of from 2.5 to 3 lb of
steam per pound of water evaporated. .

ing for Buses and Automobiles, Airplane Air Conditioning
THE principles of air conditioning used in connection with stationary applications such as stores, restaurants, hospitals, theaters, and homes are in general applicable to such mobile applications as railway
passenger cars, passenger buses, automobiles, and ships. However, the
equipment used for these mobile applications, differs from that used for
stationary purposes in that it must meet additional requirements.
Especially important are the features of compactness with the retention
of ready accessibility for quick inspection and servicing, and low weight.
Freedom from vibration which could be transmitted to the supporting
vehicle and thus to the passengers is essential. (For Air Conditioning
of Ships see Chapter 49.)
.
.
..
RAILWAY PASSENGER CAR VENTILATION
In non-air-conditioned cars, ventilation is accomplished by exhaust fans, roof ventilators, and open doors and windows. This practice provides an ample supply of outside air but does-not. prevent the entrance of smoke, cinders, and other dirt.
An average passenger car contains approximately 5000 cu ft of air and may seat as many as 80 passengers. The occupants are continually liberating heat, carbon dioxide, moisture, odors, and some organic matter from their breath, skin and clothing. The heat and moisture can be removed by cooling and dehumidification, but the other constituents can be successfully handled only by proper ventilation and, air cleansing. In the average car from 2000 to 2500 cfm should be circulated by the air conditioning unit. Some of this air may be recirculated, but a portion of it should always be brought in from the: outside. The amount of outside air required depends upon the type of car, number of passengers, air temperature, humidity, odors, and whether or not occupants are smoking, and will vary from 15 to 90 per cent of the total'air circulated.
Careful attention must be exercised in specifying the rate of outside air-
taken in so as to fit the type of service adequately and yet not to supply
more ventilation than is necessary. Conditioning this outside air is a
major factor in deterniining the size of both summer and winter con
ditioning equipment. With present average ventilation requirements;
about 30 per cent of the cooling equipment and sometimes as high as 50
per cent of the heating equipment is necessary to handle only the outside
air load.
.
For normal conditions, 10 cfm of outside air per passenger is sufficient.
When smoking is permitted, at least 15 cfm should be admitted. In
some of the dining cars and de luxe sleeping cars, outside air rates as high
as 20 and 30 cfm per occupant are-used.
..

1946 Guide
loads make the problems of air distribution and air delivery in railway
cars critical.
-
Various methods may be used to distribute the air delivered to the interior of the car by the circulating fan or blower. The methods com monly used are:
1. A duct lengthwise along the center of the car.
2. One or two side ducts built on the outside of monitor-roofed cars, or on the inside
of turtle-backed or arch-roofed cars.
. ....
3. A ceiling which is perforated for the emission of air into the car; the air being carried to the ceiling by an overhead duct. From one-half to the full area of the ceiling is used for the distribution of the air although practical considerations generally limit the available area to about two-thirds. As large a part of the ceiling area as possible should be used for air distribution.
Delivery grilles and plaques are used, and are often designed to give - considerable entrainment and mixing to avoid cool drafts.
Smoking rooms present a special problem. The cloud of smoke that usually hangs near the ceiling can be broken up by having the incoming air directed along the ceiling in all directions at a velocity somewhat higher than that used for the rest of the car. The air should be exhausted from the room by a fan or through a grille to the washroom or lavatory, and then outside by a fan in a ventilator.
For compartments an adjustable supply duct outlet grille of suitable size and design should be provided and provisions made in the door or partition for the removal of the air to be recirculated.
Lower berths in sleeping cars and office cars should be provided with an adjustable air outlet which will discharge the amount of air desired at low velocity in any direction so that the occupant can regulate the ventilation to meet his own requirements. .
. In cars containing but one or two rooms or compartments, satisfactory results may be obtained by discharging the air directly from the con ditioning unit into the upper part of the car. Care must be taken to have a proper discharge velocity. If the velocity is too low, the air will drop before reaching the end of the car and if too high it will discharge against the end bulkhead and be reflected back. Care must be exercised to secure proper circulation, otherwise objectionable drafts will be experienced.
The recirculating air grilles are usually of the straight flow type, and
should be located so- that objectionable drafts will not be created by the
return air. The outside air intakes, located in the car vestibule, on the
side of the car, or on the roof of the car, depending upon the location of
the cooling coils, should be of ample size, to permit the entrance of suf
ficient outside air. On many of the recently air-conditioned cars, there
are no dampers or shutters at the outside air intakes, the percentage of
outside air being controlled by adjusting the flow through the recircu
lating grille.
';
Air Cleaning
All of the air circulated by the blower is.filtered before passing over the
cooling coils. In some cars the outside and recirculated air is filtered'
separately before mixing, while in others the air from the two sources is
mixed before passing through a common filter. Filters in use are made of
metal, wool, cloth, spun glass, hemp, paper, hair, and wire screen! Most
filters have a viscous coating of oil for greater cleaning efficiency. Some
types may be. cleaned, retreated, and returned to service while other
types are discarded when dirty.

Transportation Air Conditioning
869
RAILWAY PASSENGER CAR WINTER AIR CONDITIONING
The majority of cars in service use steam from the locomotive or from a
head-end, oil-fired boiler as a source of energy for winter heating. In
some instances electrical energy from either a head-end generating set
or motive power supply is utilized for resistance heating. In still other cases electrical energy and waste heat from individual car engine-generator
sets are employed. The peak heating loads which depend largely upon
the amount of insulation used in the car, the type of windows (whether
single or double glazed), and the ventilation rate, may vary from 150,000
to 250,000 Btu per hour.
In order to temper the cold outside air, about 30 to 50 per cent of the
total heat energy required is distributed by means of finned coils or
resistance heaters located in the outside air duct. The remainder is
usually transmitted to the car air by finned tubing located along the sides of the car near the floor, thus preventing cold convection currents falling
from the car windows from reaching the feet of the passengers.
RAILWAY PASSENGER CAR SUMMER AIR CONDITIONING
Three general types of cooling or refrigerating equipment are being
used in 13,362 (May, 1944) air conditioned railway cars and 31 air
conditioned rail motor cars in the United States. Of these, 30 per cent are ice activated, 15 per cent use steam jet systems, and 50 per cent
employ mechanical compression schemes. These systems. which func
tionally are identical with those used for stationary applications (see Chapter 39) are modified in design to meet the requirements of. mobile
service. Contrasted with stationary applications of summer conditioning
equipment, the use of water as a final means of heat disposal from con densers cannot be resorted to because water in such quantities cannot be
transported economically. Accordingly, air cooled or evaporative con
densers are always used, with the result that mobile cooling equipments
operate at higher temperature, pressure, and power requirement levels
than stationary equipment.
...
The maximum cooling and dehumidifying load which depends largely
upon the amount of insulation, the type of windows, the ventilation rate,
the sun intensity, and the number of passengers may vary from 60,000
to 96,000 Btu per hour.
'
An averaige ice-activated system for such capacities uses about 500
lb of ice and 1.2 kw per hour. The increase in car weight due to such a
system is approximately 8500 lb.
The same service from a steam jet system is obtained, with the expendi
ture of 180 lb of steam and 3.3 kw per hour, with an added weight per

..
The mechanical compression systems, all of which use dichlorodifluoro-
- methane as a refrigerant, may be classified by several types depending on
the method of driving the compressor. The source of . power for driving
the compressor (approximately 10 hp) is complicated by the necessity of obtaining this power at all times whether the car is rn motion or standing
still on the right-of-way. or in a terminal where auxiliary power plug-ins
are available. In those cases where compressors are driven from car axles,
additional refinements in the drive are necessary in order that a nearly
constant cooling capacity may be obtained from a variable speed power source. Numerous combinations of electrical generating schemes for
generating sufficient electrical energy from the car axle for lighting,
ventilation, and summer air conditioning are in use, and their operation

is closely interlocked with compressor demands, need for pre-cooling, battery charging, etc. It is difficult therefore to state the additional ' weight imposed on a car because of such a compression air conditioning system, but it is probably in the vicinity of 6000 to 8000 lb. These systems, depending mostly upon the locomotive for supplying power for operation, impose a load, including the power required to pull the weight added by the equipment, of from 5 to 10 per cent of the total locomotive' . power.
Several schemes for relieving the locomotive of this compression load are used. Some of the articulated trains, which run as unit equipment-- the same cars always, in the same train--employ a head-end, enginegenerator combination for supplying power to compressor motors. In other cases, especially in many of the new streamlined trains, propane fueled engine-driven generators on individual cars are used to supply power to motors, as well as to supply all power for car lighting and acces sories. Gas engine compressor combinations on individual cars provide attractive low weight equipment where automatic engine operation is permissible under all circumstances. Diesel-powered generator units ,, have been used experimentally, on individual cars for supplying electrical energy and in some cases waste engine heat has been used either for ' modulating refrigeration with a reheat cycle or for car heating purposes.
RAILWAY PASSENGER CAR HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature to be maintained in a car depends upon the outside temperature and the humidity desired inside the car. With a low hu midity it is necessary to maintain a higher temperature to establish a . desirable comfort condition. Little humidity control has been attempted . on cars up to the present time. A certain degree of automatic humidity control is secured with cooling, but the relative humidity obtained depends largely upon the temperature of the evaporator, which should be below the dew-point temperature of the air. With certain outside atmospheric conditions it may not be possible to operate the conventional equipment with a sufficiently low evaporator temperature to reduce the humidity without dropping the temperature too low. One method has been developed whereby the evaporator temperature is carried below the dew point a sufficient amount to insure dehumidification and then the cold air is heated to the proper temperature by passing it over coils through which part of the high temperature liquid from the condenser is by-passed. Such a system is costly and has not been generally applied. The reheat cycle ^ obtainable from waste engine heat may be used to good advantage in reducing the humidity without reducing the dry-bulb temperature.
During the heating season humidification is desirable from a comfort
. standpoint, but,, unless properly controlled, condensation will appear on
the windows. A steam or water spray controlled by a humidistat will
provide the necessary moisture for humidification.. There are several
cars with this featurq now in use.

especially from the servicing viewpoint are very desirable:. The control
of summer temperatures is accomplished mainly by cycling-the complete
cooling system; however, modulation is being effected by using, multiple . evaporators in wluch a fixed portion may automatically be cut out of operation to suit the cooling capacity requirements and to keep the equip
ment in operation for longer periods. .
.
With motor or engine driven compression equipment modulation of compressor capacity to suit the reduced evaporator capacity is accom-' plished by changing motor or engine speed, or by varying the number of
compressor cylinders in operation.
Steam ejector equipment is provided with dampers which by-pass the air around the cooling coil during the off cycle to prevent re-evaporation
of moisture from the coil during the off period.
.

PASSENGER BUS SUMMER AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION
The highways in the United States are now traveled by about 3500
summer air-conditioned passenger buses. Many of the facts stressed in
connection with the design and installation of summer conditioning
equipment in railway cars are even more important in these newer
vehicles. Weight and space limitations are more stringent, and the
problem of circulating from 900 to 1200 cfm of air in coaches carrying
from 25 to 40 passengers with about 35 cu ft of space per passenger
without drafts is no easy one.
- - '
Some bulkhead delivery systems have been used and, while the over
head package racks have served to break up drafts to some extent,_ these
installations are not gaining in popularity. Longitudinal ducts in the .
corners above the package racks are sometimes used to carry conditioned
air to a series of outlet louvers along the top of the windows. Other
designs provide for false spaces below the package racks which serve as
ducts to distribute air to either entrainment grilles in the bottom of the
racks or distributing slots at the edges of the package racks. Some
coaches employ a false ceiling -to provide a duct, with delivery taking
place from numerous perforations in the ceiling.
'
Return air grilles and filters are usually located near the rear ceiling '
where the evaporator is placed: Outside air intakes and filters are-located
preferably near the front of the vehicle so as not to contaminate this
supply with exhaust fumes and road dust. Of the 30 cfm circulated per
person, about 8 to 10 cfm are outside air and the remainder is recirculated-
Power for the motor driving the centrifugal fans is obtained from the
bus battery.
: .,
More recently a coach-design has been brought out which provides
for a number of return air outlets below the seats; these permit
return air to enter a longitudinal duct below the floor. The filters, and
evaporator are located in this duct near the front of the vehicle. In this
instance a central heating coil utilizing waste heat from the coach engine
is also located in this duct. Conditioned air is delivered through a pair of
vertical ducts to a package rack distribution scheme.
.. , .
Summer. conditioning systems for these vehicles range, in cooling
capacity from 36,000 to 48,000 Btii per hour. Mechanical compression
systems using dichlorodifluoromethane are used. and are .powered by
water cooled, gasoline engines of approximately 14.hp.
..
,.
Complete systems add from 800 to 1300 lb to the weight of a coach,
872CHAPTER 48'1946 Guide
Sometimes an auxiliary generator driven by the air conditioning engine is used and serves to help charge the bus battery, thereby offsetting the power drain imposed by the ventilating blower. . Belted reciprocating compressors and direct driven V-type and rotary compressors are used, with engine speeds up to about 1800 rpm. Air cooled condensers for this service require about 5000 cfm of outdoor air, and this is provided by either centrifugal or propellor type fans belted or direct driven by the air conditioning engine. Preventing noise and vibration from affecting passengers is of vital importance. Installations must be made so that quick daily servicing of the engine is possible. In all cases fuel is obtained from the main bus tanks, and in some cases the main engine jacket water cooling system is used to cool the air conditioning engine.
In the de luxe equipment, after the driver has started the air con ditioning engine by means of its own cranking motor, the engine speed is modulated automatically as the refrigeration demand is partially met, and if this demand is then fully met, the engine is stopped thermostatically. Restarting when the cooling thermostat is no longer satisfied is accom plished either automatically or manually. The various protective and automatic-devices on the refrigerant and engine systems make some of the bus air conditioning control systems quite complicated.
. AUTOMOBILE SUMMER AIR CONDITIONING
Recently summer air conditioning has been applied to automobiles. The average present day automobile with little insulation, large, single glazed window areas, and high infiltration and exfiltration losses requires about 15,000 Btu per hour of cooling capacity. One system utilizes a reciprocating compressor belted from the main 'engine fan shaft thus operating at varying speeds up to 3000 rpm. The resulting refrigeration capacity varies from about 6000 Btu per hour at idling speed to 24,000 Btu per hour at maximum car speed.
. A dry air condenser is placed in front of the engine radiator, and the liquid and suction refrigerant lines run back under the car floor to the evaporator which is located in back of the rear seat. Conditioned air is delivered into the car just above the shelf near the back of the rear seat. A return grille is provided under the rear seat, and the recirculated air is filtered. Outdoor air is provided by infiltration. Power for the air circulating blowers is obtained from the car storage battery. Equipment of this nature increases the car weight approximately 200 lb.
AIRPLANE AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning of airplanes is closely associated with heating and
ventilation of airplanes, but air conditioning of planes in flight has
received little attention to date, probably because of added weight of
equipment, necessary. Under ordinary conditions the cleanliness and
humidity desired are fixed by natural conditions and therefore the supply
of heat and temperature control become, the chief consideration. Pas
senger planes and military planes even at low level flying are at altitudes
which require no cooling and at extreme altitudes the design temperature
of the atmosphere is 60 deg below zero.
.- ,
In the operation of internal combustion engines the heating value of
fuel appears approximately, one-third as power, one-third transferred to
cooiing fluid, and one-third in the exhaust gases.
..
Ordinarily, the heat in the exhaust gases is ample for all heating needs,: despite the excessive transmission loss due to high speed, low tempera-

873
tures, and light wall constrdction. . The maximum coefficient of heat
transmission without insulation is found to be 2.28. The minimum
coefficient with insulation is 0.33. For present day construction a value
of 0.56 may be assumed. Naturally, the waste heat in the exhaust gases
offers an attractive source for designers of heating equipment, who in .
the course of design have followed closely the development of heating as
applied to land structures. In first attempts heat was obtained from an
annular space surrounding the exhaust pipe, from which branches
conducted the heated air to grilles or to seats of passengers. The speed
of the plane eliminated the need for a fan or pump. In present practice.
danger of carbon monoxide contamination is avoided by the use of both'
primary and secondary heat exchangers.
'
Heating systems using hot air are in use for passenger and military
planes. Steam systems have been used with boilers located in the path
of exhaust gases but difficulty experienced in preventing freezing of the
water has apparently rendered this system obsolete. A similar system
using glycol is in use and requires special care because of the peculiar
qualities of glycol. Thermostatic control, mixing dampers and air
distribution vary little from.standard practice. Controlling devices are
built to withstand the extensive vibrations experienced. Humidity
determinations under flying conditions show need for humidity control.
Passenger planes or other planes requiring air conditioning when on the
ground are satisfactorily serviced by portable air conditioning machines.
High flying airplanes--above an elevation of 14,000 ft--require oxygen
supply or pressurized cabins. The compression of the outside air by the
supercharger raises the temperature of the cabin air from an extremely
low to a comfortable high. The compression of the air also increases the
humidity. Cleanliness at flying altitude is not a consideration, except
under special conditions such as above deserts or upon encountering dust
storms. In small planes carrying several passengers or crew, localized
heating and ventilation are provided. Electrically heated clothing and
oxygen masks meet requirements. At high altitudes pressurized cabins
require no special oxygen supply.
;
. Medium bombers at one time were equipped with separately fired
'heating units, but larger bombers, to meet the heating load imposed by
crew and equipment, demand too much heat to be supplied in this manner.
The recovery of 'heat from waste gases is therefore imperative. In air
plane operations light weight is a more important requirement than in
any other type of transportation. Noise should be reduced to a minimum
and combined use may be made of material for insulating and noise,
reduction.

General Considerations, Ship Construction Features, Factors Affecting Design, Requirement for Various Types of Space,
Ship Insulation
-
THE importance of adequate shipboard heating and ventilation arrangements cannot be overemphasized. Installations must not only keep, the passengers comfortable and the, operating personnel physi cally fit dhd mentally capable of maintaining the ship as a profitable business investment, but must also satisfy the human element. The provision of satisfactory living and working conditions is one of the most economical means of keeping a high morale.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Unlike a shore establishment in connection with which personnel
obtain their food, rest and recreation from outside sources, a ship must be
self-sufficient and provide for all human needs. Accordingly, every vessel
is a complete, independent community comprising, at ieast to some .
degree, the facilities available in the average urban development. These
facilities must be contained in the minimum practicable space and weight
to conserve dead weight and increase the pay load. The pay load may be
expressed in terms of cargo carrying ability, passenger carrying capacity, '
fighting strength, or towing ability.
.
-.
An atmosphere compatible with efficient operation must be maintained
in working, and machinery spaces, and temperatures must be such that
materials or equipment will not be damaged. Conditions in living spaces,
whether ashore or afloat, must permit adequate rest and comfort of-
occupants. Passenger accommodations must be treated to provide
service and living conditions similar to those afforded by the various
classes of hotels. Many of the expedients used ashore for this purpose are
not applicable afloat. For instance, all living quarters aboard ship cannot
be located at, a distance from the power plant; but must often have
. boundaries in common with heat producing spaces. The thermal con
ductivity of:shipbuilding materials such as steel, copper, brass, etc., is
many times the value for building materials used ashore, and this, to-,
gether with concentrated arrangement of equipment, produces a difficult
heat transfer and insulation problem. Furthermore, the use of portholes, .
windows, skylights, and similar openings is greatly, restricted in marine .
applications because, of the necessity for strength, water-tightness and
protection from the sea in foul weather. During wartime, the utility of
portholes, windows, and skylights is greatly restricted because they must
be fitted with light-excluding devices.
'
Much of the cooling and.ventilation that is accomplished by naturalmeans ashore must be handled by mechanical means afloat. Space does - n6t exist for the large ventilation trunks required for natural ventilation. Also, because of the restricted space and shipbuilding materials the heat . .quantities that must be dissipated by ventilation air are often greater than would be required for a similar shore installation. Mechanical venti lation is not merely desirable, but is absolutely necessary in many ship- board spaces to enable the crew to. operate the vessel. Furthermore there . are numerous spaces which must be ventilated to prevent the accumula-

tion of objectionable, combustible and toxic gases. Shipboard equipment must also be reliable inasmuch as specialized servicing facilities are not ' available at sea, and failure during an emergency may jeopardize the vessel's safety. Experience has demonstrated that simple-and foolproof heating and ventilating arrangements are essential for satisfactory service. Ventilation systems on ships must be designed to operate in- heavy weather with little or no attention, and to resist the efforts of unauthorized personnel to readjust the heat or air distribution. Also, they must be laid out in such a manner that the watertight-and fireproof integrity of the vessel is not impaired.
Contrary to the impression among some engineers and designers, that there is a basic difference between marine and shore installations in the application of heating, ventilating and air conditioning arrangements, the same fundamentals apply to both shore and shipboard applications. The air capacity handled by a system ashore will equal the capacity that an identical system will deliver afloat. The same laws of heat transfer apply, and the same heat balance must be maintained in the human body. The only variation between ship and shore applications is that emphasis is placed on different practical aspects of the design.
SHIP CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
The seaworthiness of the vessel is increased by subdividing the main watertight hull space into a rfumber of watertight compartments. This is usually done by providing transverse watertight structures (bulkheads) so located along the ship's length that the vessel will not sink even when the shell is pierced in one or more watertight compartments, by collision, torpedoing, or other causes. It is obvious that the watertightness of these bulkheads is very important, particularly under war conditions. Every effort is made to lead ventilation ducts so that they do not pass through such structures. Where openings must be cut for ventilation or other purposes, special watertight closures are fitted to protect the watertight ness of the bulkheads.
In addition to the obstructions caused by the main transverse bulk
heads, the.ship's interior is fitted with decks and flats (partial decks) that
are spaced to suit the use to which the space is put. The deck height (floor
height) in cargo spaces generally Varies from 9 to 30 ft. This height in
living quarters varies from 7)^ to 9 ft. Usually in main machinery spaces,
the entire depth is subdivided only by a few flats, with gratings provided
where necessary to service the equipment.
.
Bulkheads, shell, and decks are designed to suit structural as well as watertight requirements of the vessel, and consequently, the designer must always contend with beams, stiffeners, stanchions and brackets.
Fig. 1 indicates the arrangement of a typical cargo vessel, and shows the main transverse watertight bulkheads, decks, structural members,
and many other pertinent characteristics. Living quarters are usually 'located on and above the weather deck, this custom being based on the ' assumption that better natural air and light are available in this location.' It is obvious that the upper 'tween deck and other spaces can be con veniently used for additional living and working spaces, but that natural . ventilation is far less effective in this case.
The. foregoing description mentions some of the limits' and natural boundaries, which affect the design and layout of ship ventilation and . heating systems. It should be added that there are also equipment, wireways,'and miscellaneous piping which must be considered. Since
Marine Heating and Ventilation ,
877
there is very little unassigned space, fan rooms are usually quite congested and many studies must be made to ascertain the arrangement of equip ment which will best suit the conditions. Cuts in structural members must be limited in number and size. Lack of headroom often causes poor, aspect ratios, inaccessibility, and other undesirable conditions. It there fore follows that the design of a ship's heating and ventilating system is far more than a theoretical calculation. A good designer must be familiar with all phases of ship construction and operation in order to provide sufficient and efficient ventilation and heating, and to locate the equip ment where it will interfere least with basic arrangements, major equip ment, stability, and other important factors.
FACTORS AFFECTING DESIGN
A ship may be favorably compared to a floating hotel. Its make-up includes living accommodations, dining rooms, shops, power plants, com missary spaces, etc., all of which must be so arranged and maintained as to make it self-sustaining for long periods of time. In contrast to a hotel, however, a ship may, on a single cruise, move from arctic to tropical climates. On the other hand, it may be built to operate only in one single locality. It is therefore necessary to assume maximum and minimum design air temperature conditions based on the intended use of the vessel so that adequate cooling and heating may be provided. For vessels designed to operate generally in all parts of the world, a maximum summer temperature may be taken as 88 F and a minimum winter tem perature as 10 F. For other ships, those which spend long periods in port or in inland waters, the maximum and minimum temperatures may be taken as 90 and 0 F respectively.
Preliminary design of heating and ventilating installations aboard ship is simplified by the uniformity of the conditions which apply to all ships. Among such conditions are (1) the necessity for the vessel to supply its own power, (2) the availability of an unlimited supply of sea water, (3) the drastic restriction of shipbuilding materials because of strength requirements, corrosion resistance and fire hazard, and (4) the limitation of available space and permissible weight. On the other hand, shipboard space, weight, and power limitations require precise layouts with mini mum design safety factors, and this necessitates unusual ' attention to design details."' Particular attention should be given also to the adjust ment of a system after installation,- because designed air quantities are usually close to the minimum acceptable and therefore, improper balance will result in unsatisfactory conditions in some spaces.
Each space aboard ship must be treated in accordance with the par ticular requirements of its use. The ventilation of most spaces is deter mined by empirical calculations. The quantity of air supplied must be not less than that which satisfies (1) maximum allowable temperature rise, (2) minimum allowable fresh air per person, and (3) permissible air
change, named in order of importance. .
The present practice of various ship designers may be to supply the quantity of air which satisfies only one of these requirements, but the
most satisfactory ship ventilation will result from the use of that quantity
which is large enough to satisfy all three.
When heating and cooling loads are estimated, the cooling effect of the . water through which the vessel is sailing must be considered if the space
is at or below the waterline. Maximum and minimum water tempera tures of 85 and 35 F are usually used -for such calculations. This factor is
ss

CHAPTER 49
1946 Guide
important enough to justify the omission of ventilation from certain spaces which have only small heat gains and do not require fresh air for other purposes.
The relation between supply and exhaust ventilation depends on the type of space, and the space's' relation to the weather. In any case, it should be remembered that positive means for supply and exhaust must always be provided. Where natural ventilation is anticipated, infiltration1 and exfiltration via .open doors, windows, etc., cannot always be con sidered adequate for this purpose.
In addition to the ventilation requirements, but closely related to and
usually forming an integral part of the study, is the manner in which
heating shall be furnished for cold weather conditions. In all spaces
which are provided with mechanical supply ventilation, where heat is also
required, the simpler method and most economical from standpoint of
weight is that in which duct type or blast heaters are fitted in the venti
lating systems. Where this type of heating is furnished, convectors or .
radiators should be provided for spaces requiring heat but not furnished
with mechanical supply ventilation. The most satisfactory arrangement
for this method of heating, except where individual space -control is .
essential, is zone heating. To accomplish this, the ventilation supply
system, with the fan operating at slow speed (usually about 50 to 70
per cent delivery) passes the air over a preheater which raises the air to a
temperature of about 40 to 60 F. This preheated air is then passed
through the system and thence through one or more reheaters which are
located in the ducts and so arranged that each serves a group of spaces
which possess the same or similar heating requirements. It may be
necessary to slightly revise the individual space air quantities, which have
been determined on the basis of summer" cooling, in order to bring them
in line with the reheat or delivery temperature. In some cases central
heating is used. By this arrangement all the air needed for heating is
passed through the preheater and reheater fitted in series. This system
has the disadvantage of affording poorer thermostatic control and cruder
heating properties. In all installations of duct type heaters, however,
. 'care must be taken in the first stage of heating (preheater) to provide
- protection against freezing, either by heater design or compensating auto
matic valve control. Of course, many of the usual combinations or
variations of duct type and convection or radiant heaters may be used
with varying degrees of satisfaction, depending on basic design require
ments such as weight and space limitations and economic justification for
refinements.
s
REQUIREMENT FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF SPACE
In the paragraphs which follow the most important considerations are given for the treatment of the various spaces, but the resulting quantities of air should in all cases be checked with those shown in Table 1.
Machinery Spaces
The prime purpose of machinery space ventilation is to maintain a habitable temperature for the operating personnel. Of secondary impor tance is the necessity for preserving temperature conditions satisfactory for the successful operation of machinery, particularly of that designed for certain maximum ambient temperatures. High dissipation of heat,,1 . from high"/temperature steam equipment or from high powered electrical installations, make it more practicable to use spot cooling of working

areas, rather than to attempt to. obtain uniform ambient temperature. The permissible temperature rise at working stations is usually about 15 F while the over-all temperature rise is usually between 30 and 50 F.
When the necessary quantity of air has been determined, the venti lation arrangements should be designed so that all of this air will be distributed to locations where the personnel are to be stationed under operating conditions, thus giving them the maximum benefit from the cool air so introduced. This consideration is of vital importance because it must be remembered that the physical well being and alertness of the crew are more important than the operating ambients of the machinery; and by such installation the personnel receives the air before it becomes heated to the temperatures satisfactory for the equipment.
In addition to the air supply, these spaces must be exhausted, pre ferably by mechanical means. Every attempt should be made to remove air at or close to heat sources so that the mixing of ambient air with that which has been heated to a higher temperature will be at a. minimum. The quantity or capacity of the mechanical exhaust systems should take into consideration the expansion of the supply air because of heating and should be also sufficient to insure an indraft through access openings to the space. Generally, in order to accomplish this, the quantity of me chanical exhaust should be about 120 per cent of the supply. . In many installations, the combustion air for diesel engines and boilers is taken directly from the machinery space and serves.as a partial mechanical
exhaust system.

Normally, heat is not required for machinery spaces except for those fitted with electrically operated, equipment, which* may remain inactive during periods while in port. Such spaces should be equipped so as to
heat them to about: 50 F during such periods.

The minimum quantity'of air required for any space which is fitted for
sleeping or office work, including hospital spaces, should be that which
will liiriit the temperature rise over the outside air conditions to not more thanTO F (a: rise of 7 F is more satisfactory if practicable), or a minimum
of 30 cfm' per person, .whichever is the greater. ; For.spaces:fitted- for
eating, recreation, or manual work the rise may be taken at 10 F with not
less than 20 cfm per person.

"'
. It will be noted that the quantities, thus obtained are minimum and
should be supplied' by mechanical means. This is especially important
if the spaces are . located inside of the ship and have; no direct weather
exposures with ample openings, such as portholes of windows, which may
remain open even :in inclement weather. The same requirement applies
, to the necessity for mechanical exhaust, although natural exhaust may be
used where only a short run of duct is required.
If the air to these spaces is supplied by mechanical ventilation it should
enter through registers or diffusing type terminals. The installation of
bracket fans within these compartments at'proper locations and of suf
ficient number will aid materially, in providing proper distribution for
comfort.

Toilets, Washrooms, Showers and Baths:
Spaces for these purposes should be fitted with mechanical exhaust venti
lation for odor and steam removal. They should have one or: more well-
located exhaust terminals, overhead; one will usually suffice for the
average size space. The supply may be taken naturally. Generally, the
surrounding living or working spaces are exhausted through them. The
minimum total quantity exhausted should be that which would change the
air within the compartment in 6 min, plus 25 cfm for each, fixture, plus
50 cfm for each shower head. Air requirements on merchant vessels are
commonly.estimated on the basis of a 4-min rate of change.
.
.
Heating should be obtained by use of convection-type heaters which : should maintain 70 to 80 F for bathing or washing spaces and 70 F for toilet ' spaces when the outside winter temperature is at the design condition.
Galleys, Bakeries, and.Food Handling Spaces
The problem of the ventilation of spaces fitted for cooking and food preparation is primarily one of heat and smoke or fume removal. Me chanical exhaust is always required for this purpose. The supply may be natural, but the required exhaust capacity will be most satisfactory if arranged for 50 per cent mechanical and 50 per cent natural.
.
The exhaust quantities are generally large and may be predicated on
restricting the ambient temperature rise to about 15 F over the outside
summer design air conditions. It will generally be found that the resulting .
quantity will change the air in these spaces in about % to 1 min, depending
on concentration of equipment. All of the exhaust should be arranged so '
as to remove air from the space through hoods fitted over the cooking
equipment and these hoods should contain grease filters over ranges and
griddles and should be made readily accessible for frequent cleaning.
The mechanical supply when fitted should blow air -directly on the. -
personnel but away from the. equipment and so as not to interfere with
the flow of exhaust air to the hoods.
' . ..
. Generally, no heat is required for these spaces in winter except that the
supply air temperature should not be too low. Usually a preheater .;
delivering air at about 45 to 60 F should be provided.

The problems in the ventilation of laundries are somewhat: similar to .' those for galleys. ' Heat removal is necessary and best accomplished by the installation of mechanical exhaust through hoods fitted over the heat- producing equipment.
- The:supply for these spaces may be all mechanical, or part mechanical -
and part natural. The mechanical supply should be distributed through
adjustable blast-type terminals at relatively high velocities directed to
blow cool air on the torsos of the operating-personnel. Experience
indicates that this quantity should be sufficient to change the. air in the
spaces in from 1 to 4 min.
, . ..
.
The exhaust should be at least one.air change per.minute and at least
equal to 120 per cent of the total supjply so as to insure an indraft of air
through the access openings to the space. All exhaust openings within
the space should be fitted to be readily accessible for frequent cleaning
-and lint removal.'

No winter heating is required except that the supply air should be delivered at about 40 to 60 F.

CHAPTER 49
1946 Guide
Storerooms and Cargo Spaces
The ventilation of these spaces should be predicated upon the kind and type of stores or cargo to be carried.
For materials which would not be adversely affected by summer tem peratures, no ventilation is required. Also, storerooms or cargo spaces below the water line, in which temperatures would not normally exceed 100 F with the sea water assumed as 85 F maximum, may not require ventilation for certain cargoes. As spaces in these two categories are frequently damp some means of moisture removal must be provided. Chemical dessicants are satisfactory where it is essential to prohibit openings through watertight structure. In other cases a supply of dry air is provided from a central silica gel dehumidification system and distributing ducts, with recirculation used to accelerate the drying process.
Where storage spaces must be ventilated to obtain a change of air in .'about 15 to 30 min, in some cases the ventilation is determined by the maximum temperature which the cargo or stores can withstand without damage.
Spaces in which inflammable liquids are carried, or where inflammable vapors may be generated, require special consideration. They should be fitted with mechanical exhaust with terminals so located as to remove ' explosive or combustible vapors. The supply to these spaces may be natural and arranged so that good distribution, free from pockets, is assured.
' If stores and cargo, which require some special and constant tempera-
ture or humidity control, are carried, special air conditioning equipment
must be installed to suit the particular requirements.
.
SHIP INSULATION
In order to properly limit one of the major ventilation heat loads which is that made necessary by heat transmission, and to prevent condensa tion, it is necessary to use insulation judiciously. The principal sources of heat in a ship are the power plant and sun load. The confinement or exclusion of this heat in the structure of a ship is not easy, principally because of the complex structural nature of the beams, stiffeners,, bulk heads, decks and hull. The continuous metal paths offer easy means of heat flow throughout the structure.
Insulation like any other component hull part of the ship cannot be used indiscriminately because of weight and space limitations. Therefore higher heat transmission coefficients are accepted for insulated structures of certain classes of vessels, than would be considered satisfactory ashore. On passenger and cargo vessels, the structure is frequently covered with a metal sheathing in order to improve appearance.' Such sfieathing reduces the resistance to heat flow because the necessary supports form a metallic contact that by-passes the insulation.
Hull insulation may be either sheathed fill or blanket and board type and should possess certain desirable physical characteristics, namely:
1. Fireproofness. The material must be incombustible and when subjected to high
temperatures by fires within compartments it must not give off smoke or harmful gases.
If cements are used to secure the material they too must satisfy the same combustible
- restrictions. When the exposed surface of the insulation is to be finished with paint, the
paint should be fire retardant. Insulation properly used will retard the spread of fires
' within ships. Government regulations govern the construction and insulation of bulk
heads to prevent the spread of fire on vessels.
.
2. Density. A 6,000 ton warship may have from 13 to 25 tons of hull insulation,
Marine Heating and Ventilation -
885
depending on the type of insulation. It is obviously desirable to minimize this dead
weight commensurate with other considerations.
._
- ..
3. Thermal Conductivity. It is important that the conductivity of insulation used
be 0.33 Btu per (hour) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree per inch), or less.
.
4. Ruggedness. As any exposed or internally applied material is subjected to rough
usage aboard ship it must be able to withstand much pounding from the seas and vibra
tion from the ship's machinery.
"
'
1 5. Verminproof. For sanitary reasons it is essential that insulation harbor no vermin.
6.
. .. Applicability.
. Because of the necessity of speeding construction of vessels and
minimizing costs, insulating materials must lend themselves to easy and ready applica
tion. Generally, when cements are used the application is slow and laborious. '
For duct insulation mineral wool-or spun glass are the most commonly used materials. Corrugated asbestos is not recommended because the presence of moisture tends to disintegrate it. Semi-rigid insulation is generally used because it is simplest to install. Blanket type insulation^ are applied only to round or curved surfaces, and are secured with twine and lagged with sewed-on canvas. Semi-rigid type insulation, secured by adhesive, flat wire bands, and corner clips, is lagged with canvas only where exposed. Blanket type insulation is at least 1 in. thick. The thickness of semi-rigid insulation is frequently selected in accordance with the values given in Table 2.

Fans are seldom insulated. Preheaters, are frequently located close to
the fresh air intake in order to conserve insulation, and for the same
reason zone reheaters are located as close to the zone as possible. Where
a reheater serves only one space, the heater is commonly located in the
space.

Hot Water Supply Piping, Storage Capacity and Heating Load, Methods of Heating Water, Computing Grate and Coil Surface Areast Controls, Solar Water Heaters, Friction Loss
IN computing the total heating load for a building, it is important to . allow ample boiler capacity for heating the hot water supply. The amount of warm water used in any large building is variable, depending
on the type of structure, usage, occupancy and time of day. .It is neces
sary to provide the piping, water heating and storage facilities of suf
ficient capacity to meet the peak demand without wasteful excess in
equipment cost.
,
'
The determination of the amount of water used in residences has been well established over a period of time and as a result, reliable factors for
water consumption are available. Tests have been made of the amount of water required by standard fixtures in normal use with water at ordinary pressures so that this.information permits a fairly correct basis of design.
HOT WATER SUPPLY PIPING
As a result of investigations. conducted at the National Bureau of Standards, basic design principles have been- outlined for the design of the hot and cold-water supply piping requirements in a plumbing system1.
It is common practice ;to provide circulating piping in all hot water
supply systems in which it is desirable to have hot water available con
tinuously at the fixtures. In average sized and small residences and
systems, in which the piping from'.the heater to the fixtures is short,
return circulating, piping is generally omitted in order to reduce instal
lation cost and to reduce heat loss from the piping,'particularly during
periods of no water demand.
.
, .. . -
:
The hot water supply may be distributed by either an up-feed or down-
feed piping system. Three common methods of arranging the circulating
lines are shown'in'Fig; l. Although the diagrams apply to multi-story
buildings the arrangements (a) and (J>) are sometimes used in residential
designs.
..
'
'
A check valve should be provided in the run-out from each return riser
to prevent temporary reversal of flow in the piping when a faucet is open.
Proper air venting of a circulating system is extremely important, par
ticularly if gravity circulation is employed. In. Fig. 1 (a) and (b) this is
accomplished by connecting the circulating line below the top fixture
supply. . With this arrangement, air is eliminated from the system each
time the top fixture;is opened. . ' '
. .
.
Where an overhead.supply main'is located above the highest fixture as in Fig. 1(c), an automatic float type air vent is installed at'the'highest pointof the system or a fixture branch is.connected to the.top of the main where air venting is desired and then dropped to the-fixture outlet. |
It is., sometimes, necessary to make an allowance for pressure -drop through the heater when sizing hot water- lines, particularly where in stantaneous hot water heaters are used and the available pressure is low.

STORAGE CAPACITY AND HEATING LOAD
In estimating the size of hot water storage tank required and the heating capacity to be provided either from the boiler or from an inde pendent domestic hot water heater, it is necessary to know the total quantity of water to be heated per day, and the maximum amount which will be used in any one hour, as well as the duration of the peak load.
In cases where the requirements for hot water are reasonably uniform, as in residences, apartment buildings, hotels, and the like, smaller storage capacity is required than in the case of factories, schools, office buildings, etc., where practically the entire day's usage of hot water occurs during a very short period. Correspondingly, the heating capacity must be pro portionately greater with uniform usage of hot water than with inter mittent usage where there may be several hours between peak demands during which the water in the storage tank can be brought up to tempera-

ture. As a general rule it is desirable to have a large storage capacity in order that the heating capacity and consequently the size of the heater, or the load on the heating boiler, may be as small as possible.
In estimating the hot water which can be diawn from a storage tank
it should be borne in mind that only about 75 per cent of the volume of
the tank is available, as by the time this quantity has been drawn off the
incoming cold water has. cooled the remainder down to a point where it
can no longer be considered hot water.

through, a 100 F rise'. The actual requirement is------2io -- = ^-48 sq ft
per gallon of water heated 100 F. The value of 4 allows for transmission losses, etc.
' There are two ways in common use of estimating the hot water require ments of a building; first, by the number of people and second, by the number of plumbing fixtures installed. Where the number of people to

be served is known or can be reasonably estimated, the data in Table 1
may be used.
-,
Example 1. From Table 1, a residence housing five people would have a daily
requirement of 5 X 40 = 200 gal per day, and a maximum hourly demand of 200 X M
= 28:5 gal. The heater should have a storage capacity of 200 X M = 40 gal and a
heating capacity of 200 XM = 28-5 gal per hour.
.
The conditions given in Example 1 may be cited as average. It is possible to vary the storage and heating capacity by increasing and decreasing one over the other. Such a condition is illustrated in Ex ample 2.
Example 2. Assume an apartment house housing 200 people. From the data in Table 1: Daily requirements -- 200 X 40 = 8000 gal. Maximum hours demand =

'
If a 1000 gal storage tank is used, hot water available from the tank = 1000 X 0.75 = 750. Water to be heated in 4 hours = 4560 -- 750 = 3710 gal. Heating capacity per

Table 2 may be used to determine the size of water heating equipment from the number of fixtures. To obtain the probable maximum demand multiply the total quantity, for the fixtures by the Demand Factor in line 11.. The heater or coil should have a water heating capacity equal to this probable maximum demand. The storage tank' should have a capacity equal to the probable maximum demand multiplied by the storage capacity factor in line 12. Example 3 will illustrate the procedure.

................ METHODS OF HEATING WATER ................. ^
Hot water may be heated either by the direct combustion of fuel, by an
intermediate carrier such as steam or hot water, or by electrically heated
surfaces. The simplest method is to have the fire on one side bf a metal
barrier and7water on the other. Tn such'a method if the water surfaces '
of heat transfer are small, and if the water carries a-heavy proportion of
precipitable salts, the water passages may soon clog and then burn out.
A familiar example of such trouble is the water back of the firebox in the
kitchen stove or the pipe coil inserted into the firebox of a warm air '
furnace or small boiler.- The critical water temperature, at which the
lime, magnesia, etc. collect on hot surfaces, varies with the character and
proportions of the solids, but generally such deposits are. not a serious
trouble with water temperatures lower thanv 140 F..
Coal-burning direct-fired water heaters 'may be constructed of cored cast-iron. sections or of steel. In some cases the external appearance of 1 the cast-iron sections is the same as in heating boilers; but internally the cores are changed to enable the'sections to withstand the-city water > pressure. In small capacity water heaters, efficiency.is not considered so

important as low first cost and ability to maintain a fire at a low rate of combustion, and consequently such heaters are,generally built with a dry
section or fire-brick lining at the base of the fire-pot to prevent too much chilling of the fuel. While mud and scale will eventually clog the water ways of any direct-fired heater, increased life may be obtained-by pro-viding a three-way cock in the return line between the heater , and the bottom bf the storage tank, so that ..water can be blown through the heater-or the tank separately at full line pressure to clean out loose

Oil-burning direct-fired water heaters usually are bf steel and operate
.with higher flame temperature and better efficiency then commensurate
sized coal-burning heaters. They have the same tendency as coal boilers
. to lime up, and the water passages should be large in cross-section and
accessible for periodic cleaning.

upward from high capacity burners. Storage-type heaters may include in one unit an insulated storage tank, a combustion chamber, flues,, burner equipment and controls, or may consist of a separate storage tank and external direct-fired water heater, which may be a so-called stde-arm heater for small capacity or a gas-fired boiler for larger capacity. Gas boilers used for direct hot water supply must be able to withstand the city water operating pressure. While direct-fired gas heaters are used generally for residences and small installations of 100 gal storage capacity or less, indirect heaters are recommended for larger installations.
In the indirect method either steam or hot water is used for heating the
water. With steam the water to be heated is preferably circulated
around the outside of the steam tubes which are submerged within a
tank. A typical indirect heater using steam is shown in Fig. 2. The
coils usually are of copper and are [/-shaped to permit expansion and
contraction. The shell may be of steel, copper, or with a special inside
protective lining. Where straight heating tubes are used, one end of the
tube is usually expanded into a floating head to take care of expansion.
The coils should be capable of easy withdrawal for inspection and for
removal of scale. Instead of steam the heating medium may also be hot
water inside the tubes.
/
Another method of transferring heat from a heating boiler to the domestic water is illustrated in Fig. 3. The water heater is generally a cast-iron shell within which there is located a spiral copper coil. Hot water from the boiler circulates inside the shell and around the coil and returns to the boiler, while domestic water from the storage tank circu lates inside the coil. The storage tank should'be installed with the bottom of the tank as far above the boiler as possible. Horizontal storage ' tanks smaller than 18 or 20 in. diameter are not recommended because of the difficulty of preventing the hot and cold water from mixing, and especially is this an important consideration when large quantities of water are withdrawn. In Fig. 4 the heat transfer surface is'placed inside the boiler instead of in a separate vessel, but otherwise the operation is similar to that of Fig. 3. This arrangement with vertical, tank is com monly used for small domestic installations.
Sometimes the heating element is located inside of the larger type fire tube boilers and small residential boilers. In this case the heat transfer surface is in the form of a number of straight- copper tubes with rear U bends or a floating head, inserted through a special opening in the boiler. While the coil may be located in the steam space above the water line of a steam boiler, it operates more satisfactorily when below the water line since clogging of the water tubes may thereby be delayed. This method is widely used without storage tanks since the intimate contact and efficient circulation of the water in this arrangement permit the utilization of the heat stored in the water of the boiler. A thermo static three-way mixing valve is frequently used to maintain a uniform temperature of the hot water supply to the plumbing' fixtures.
In order to reduce clogging by precipitated solids, water heating plants sometimes develop steam in a closed circuit, transferring the heat through a tubular heater to the domestic water. The water in the primary . heater, exposed to the high temperature of the fire, is repeatedly used and hence has no appreciable tendency to deposit scale, while the domestic water, heated by steam at a much lower temperature than that of the fire, also exhibits a much reduced tendency to precipitate dissolved salts.

Example 4. What area of copper transfer surface will be required to heat 70 gal of water per hour from 40 to 180 F with boiler water at 220 F?
,,,,[*-B-iisri-no ,
For instantaneous submerged heaters the surface required will depend 1
upon (1) the velocity of water in the tubes, (2) the boiler water tempera
ture, (3) the inlet water' temperature, (4) the outlet water temperature,
(5) the cleanliness of the coil surface, and (6) the condition of the boiler ,
water surrounding the coil. If the heater is located in the water of an
actively steaming part of a boiler the heat transfer may be twice as great
as would be obtained if the water surrounding the coil were circulating
slowly. Ratings of instantaneous water heating coils will therefore vary
greatly depending upon the assumptions made regarding the conditions
of operation. The values of the coefficient of heat transmission for
instantaneous heaters shown in'Table 3 are conservative. "
.
For a coil in which heat is transferred from steam to water the value of
JJ = 300 y/v may safely be used (v = velocity of water in feet per second).
The rate of heat transfer between steam or water as the carrier and the domestic water is influenced by the rate of movement of both the carrier and the water which receives the heat. For this reason, where the transfer occurs from heating system water to domestic, water, it is good practice to install a circulating pump' to insure rapid movement of the boiler water.
In view of the high condensation rates obtained when steam is used with. .

gravity circulation from the boiler, as, .when there is a. sudden demand
followed by an inflow.of cold water, the bottom of a steam heating trans
fer element always should be at least 30. in. above the boiler waterline,
and the steam and condensate return pipes should be of liberal size.
Otherwise water hammer and reduced capacity may result due to im
perfect drainage of condensate.
When connecting a transfer-type hot water heater below.the water line of a cast-iron steam boiler having vertical sections, there should be a separate tapping for water circulation into every section of the boiler, as shown in Fig. 3, unless the boiler has large top nipple ports providing inter-sectional circulation. If the top nipples - are entirely within1 the boiler steam space, no internal circulation occurs between sections 'and steaming may occur in sections not connected to the heater and further the unconnected sections will not deliver any heat to the heater.

CONTROL OF SERVICE WATER TEMPERATURE '
: Coal-fired boilers are usually controlled by an immersion thermostat located in :the heated water, which opens or closes draft , dampers at- the

boiler to adjust the rate of fuel, combustion. With oil- or gas-fired boilers the immersion thermostat controls the oil burner motor or the automatic . gas valve. The gas pilot flame usually bums continuously. With electric . heaters the immersion thermostat operates a switch on the source of
energy.
.
.
When steam or hot water is the medium for heating the water in the
tank, immersion thermostat controls a valve in the steam or hot water
supply line. In small residence installations, using water as the carrier, a
combined immersion thermostat and butterfly valve all in one simple
fitting may be installed in the transmitting circuit to prevent overheating
:
of the service water.
,
In residences heated by pump circulated hot water, the house tempera ture is controlled by operating the circulating pump intermittently, while domestic hot water is warmed by transfer from the house boiler, independent of the pump operation. The domestic water is heated from the heating boiler the year 'round. . Under such an arrangement, to prevent overheating the house by thermal circulation when the pump is . not running, it is usual to insert a weighted check-valve in the house heating main, so that no circulation to the house heating system can occur unless the pump operates. In summer the fire may be controlled to maintain a-boiler water temperature lower than when heating and generally about 20 F warmer than that desired in the domestic hot water
system.
_' '
In buildings which have restaurants it is generally, desirable to install
two separate service hot water systems so that water at about 180 F
minimum may be available for dish washing, while water at 140 F maxi
mum may be' used for lavatory and bath purposes.
.
The immersion thermostat in a hot water storage tank should be located 1 no higher than the center of the tank, and possibly should be even closer to the bottom since water in a tank stratifies proportionally to the tem perature. When hot water is removed, the cold water entering to replace it quickly reduces the temperature in the lower parts of the tank.
, SOLAR WATER HEATERS
Solar heaters utilize the" energy of the sun'for heating hot water. The
successful operation of such heaters requires the availability of sunshine
practically every day. in the year, which has limited their use to Florida
and-the southern portions of California. When supplemented-with some
other means of gas, coal or- oil water heating, solar heaters may be used
in climates where sunshine may be more or less intermittent. They have
been used in summer homes as far north as Chicago. When properly
installed and proportioned, solar water heaters render satisfactory service
especially in climates where the outside temperatures are high and. .
extremely hot water is not. necessarily desirable. Such installations
consist essentially of a storage tank, heating coil and hot box. The coil is
installed in the hot box and is arranged to circulate water to and from the
storage tank. The advantage in the use of this type of. heater is the fact
that it requires no fuel. The same materials should be used for the coil,
circulation -lines and tank. A copper coil is more efficient in absorbing
' heat in the box but galvanized iron or steel may be substituted depending,
on the local water conditions, cost and other considerations.
.
The storage tank must be able to store sufficient heated water for the night period of about 16 hours when the coil is not functioning or is operating under such poor sun conditions as to make its heating effect
896
CHAPTER SO
1946 Guide.
negligible. Due to the fact that the no sun period includes the night period when little or no hot water is ued, an available storage.of 50' per cent of the average daily usage is considered adequate. Since about 25 per. cent of stored hot water cannot be drawn out of a storage tank before the incoming cold water reduces the temperature of ail of the water in the tank to an unsatisfactory point for usage, the equation for calculating the storage capacity of the tank becomes:
where
. Q X 0.50
0.75
0.6660
(4)
5 -- storage capacity of tank, gallons.
Q = average daily usage, gallons.
Thus for a family of four persons using an average of 40 gal of hot water per person per day the size of the tank would be 4 persons x 40 gal x 0.666 or 106 gal, and the nearest standard size of tank to this theoretical capacity would be used. The tank should be well insulated to prevent undue loss of heat during the 16-hour period when the coil is inoperative,

and it should be located as high as possible in the building (under the peak of the roof if such exists) so as to secure a maximum circulation head from the coil. The hot water supply to the hpuse, as shown in Fig.. 5, is located at the top of the tank, which serves to vent the air from the tank ' through the hot water faucets as fast as it accumulates.
The coil should be of the return-bend type, square or slightly rec- ' tangular in form, and should have the pipes running east and west, with the coil on the south side of the building where it can receive the full sun effect' all day long without shadows from the building itself or from adjacent obstructions such as trees or other structures. The coil should be placed as low as possible in relation to the storage tank level, such as on ' a porch roof, the roof of a one-story extension or, if necessary, even on the ground. Both the coil and the circulation lines should be designed to facilitate the circulation flow as much as possible using long radius copper fittings or recessed galvanized iron fittings to match the materials of the coil, circulation lines and tank. The coil should be inclined as shown in Fig., 6 so that the north 'end is raised above the south, end to secure an angle with the horizontal of about 53 deg. This will result in the inlet

897
end of the coil being on the south side (or bottom) and the outlet end
being on the north side (or top). This will satisfy conditions along the
30 deg N latitude which includes the portions of Florida and Southern ,
California where these heaters are most frequently used.
.
The hot box is usually constructed of wood on the four sides and bottom, and is insulated. Over the top of the box glass sash are placed and the box should be constructed as near air-tight as possible. The interior surfaces should be painted white to reflect the heat while the coil should be" painted black to absorb the heat. . The box need not be deeper than necessary to house the coil and to protect it from the weather.
The addition of a light gage copper plate on the bottom of the box to which the pipe of, the coif is soldered, for good metallic contact, will add

CAPILLARY AIR CONDITIONERS
Standard Capillary cell. Cut-away section showing oriented glass Moments. Site: SO in s 0 in. x 8 in.
Air Conditioning Engineers and In
dustrial Engineers responsible for air
conditioning should be familiar with
the uses of this advanced equipment.
The standard Capillary cell is the
basic element in all Capillary conditioners.
The patented arrangement of glass fila
ments, essentially parallel to the How of air
and water through the cell, accounts for the
highly efficient heat transfer between air
and water as well as low resistance. At the
same time, the cells act as an efficient air
cleaner and the arrested dirt is continuously
flushed from the cell.
As a simple air washer, humidifier
or evaporative cooler. Class I Capillary
conditioners call for the recirculation of
only 3 gpm per 1000 cfm distributed over
the cells at 6 lbs nozzle pressure. The
saturation efficiency is 97 per cent. Less
efficient spray washers require 15 gpm or
more at 20 lbs nozzle pressure.
For cooling and dehumidifying a
single stage of Capillary cells equals or
exceeds in capacity a 2-bank spray type
dehumidifier.
.
Other Capillary types offer true
counterflow performance with leaving
cooling water temperature exceeding that
of leaving air.
Where a closed system for the cooling
medium is required (direct expansion,
brine or cold water). Capillaries are
offered with suitable coils after the
Capillary cells. No filters are required.
Coils are kept clean and evaporative cool
ing is available whenever entering wet-
bulb conditions permit.
*
Simple, continuous water treatment is
available to protect coils and other metal
parts against corrosion.
A standard Site 6-5 Class 1 Capillary Central Station Installation.
Varied uses, for Capillary con ditioners are suggested by the intimate contact of fluid and gas passing through the cells. Among these are: condenser water cooling; fume absorption, aeration and concentration; air sterilization with agents added to water.
Capillary conditioners of all classes are made in central station units ranging from 2200 cfm to 132,000 cfm or larger. As sembled units including fans, heaters, coils, pump, insulated casing, etc., suitable for suspension or floor mounting range from 1000 to 16,000 cfm.
A standard Size 3-4 Capillary unit air conditioner complete in insulated casing. Capacity 16,000 cfm.
Submit design and capacity for specific recom mendations or write for catalog and engineering data.

HUMIDIFYING--COOLING--HEATING--AIR CLEANING--VENTILATING
Bahnson Industrial Air Conditioning and Humidifying Equipment has been installed throughout the United States and in over 30 foreign countries for more than three decades.
In designing various types of equipment to meet the requirements of Industrial Air Conditioning and Humidifying, the Bahnson Company has considered as paramount: Flexibility of capacity and control, Economy of Operation, and Simplicity of Design.
CENTRISPRAY
Certain types of industrial air condition ing problems lend themselves more readily to central station systems or unitary sys tems that deliver saturated air.
The Bahnson Company has designed, and installed a large number of saturated air systems of both unitary and central
station types. Conventional air washers manufactured
by the Bahnson Company show a high efficiency of operation'in the low punjping cost and low static pressures.
The Bahnson Centrispray. is a develop ment of an air washer to deliver saturated air, based on the principle of centrifugal atomization. This washer affords an ex tremely low operating cost, approaching that of capillary washers. Maintenance of the Centrispray is extremely low, since there are no nozzles to stop up and the centrifugal discs are self-cleaning.
Bahnson central station installations as employed with refrigeration, and as employed for evapora tive cooling only.
AIR-VITALIZER
The Centrispray can be engineered for small compact units or large central station
units. It may be designed for use with
electrostatic air cleaning or refrigeration, as well as for evaporative cooling. .
The Bahnson Air-Vitalizer air con
ditioning system employs a dry duct unit
distribution system combined with the Bahnson Centrifugal Humidifier or the
Bahnson Atomizer, to-obtain evaporation. The Vitalizer Units are usually arrang
ed in the room so that the general move
ment of air is carried down one side of the room and back the other side of the room. This featurfe, known as horizontal circula
tion, evens out the condition in the room
despite the concentrated heat loads in motor alleys and sections of machinery
with high horsepower requirements. The flexibility of the Vitalizer system
permits the system to be designed for any air handling or evaporative capacity.
ECONOMIZER
ATOMIZER
The Bahnson Economizer, an atomiz er embodying a new principle of- variable capacity, will produce a finer spray at a given evaporatibn, with minimum' air
pressure and air consumption.
It is an outstanding development in the
atomizer field, featuring. Flexibility, Econ
omy, and Simplicity of installation, oper
ation and design.

CENTRIFUGAL HUMIDIFIER
With this unit, Bahnson has pioneered in developing the principle of centrifugal atomization for over 30 years. Con tinuous refinement has produced three improved types of units with varying capacities to meet different requirements. (Types D, H and L).
The Bahnson Centrifugal Humidi fier requires only feed water at city main pressures (15 to 30 lbs.), a small amount of electric current at the usual voltage speci fications, and a drain line. Equipped with an individual control, it is the only type of
self-contained industrial humidifying unit
that will produce a fine mist, distribute
this mist throughout the-space to be con
ditioned, maintain air circulation within
that space, and automatically control the
humidity within that space.
These units may be equipped with the
Type J individual. control, or may be
operated with the highly sensitive Master
B group control that actuates an electric
motor valve on the feed water line to a group of humidifiers.
The Atomizing Disc is mounted
on one end of
the fractional horsepower motor. A row
of stationary atomizing teeth
surround the
periphery of this disc. Water, fed
onto the rapidly
whirling disc, is
hurled against the stationary' teeth and broken
_
Type II with J Control
into a fine, cloudlike mist. A fan mounted
on the back end of the motor shaft dis
tributes this fine mist and produces a directional air flow. This maintains air circulation and uniformity of condition
throughout the space to be conditioned.
Write for Bulletin 327S, or special bulletins on special applications.
HUMIDUCT
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
The Bahnson Company has led in the
development of two new principles of
industrial air conditioning for more than a
decade with its "Humiduct" system of air
conditioning.
.
The Bahnson Humiduct was the first
practical unit for utilizing the advantages
of delivering saturated air plus entrained
moisture from an air conditioning system,
rather than saturated air alone to meet,
certain air conditioning requirements.
Where it is necessary to maintain constant
relative humidities in areas .with con
centrated heat loads, this principle of
delivering entrained moisture so that-part
of the evaporation may take place in the
room, shows marked advantages in more
accurate control of the humidity. ' The
humidity can be maintained by the use of
this principle with a much lower volume of
air than with saturated air types of systems:
The Bahnson Humiduct is designed
as a unit system of air conditioning. It has
shown marked advantages in maintaining
uniform conditions throughout the rooms
of industrial plants that have, relatively
high heat loads or varying concentrations
of machinery and heat. These advantages
together with the flexibility of operating
the unit system, have been widely recog
nized. The Bahnson Company introduced
the principle of horizontal circulation with
a unit system. The units are installed to
produce a general air movement down one
side of a room and back the other. This
produces unusual evenness in the room con
ditions together with a sensible cooling
effect..

HEATING AND VENTILATING
Selection of a System: Many standards have been set up for the temperature re quired for comfort, and the fresh air required for proper ventilation and sani tation. No definite standard, however, can be set which will apply to and solve all heating and ventilating problems. The standard of ventilation for a given project is controlled largely by its location; more ventilation in congested areas; less venti lation in suburban districts. Other con siderations are:--the purpose for which the building is used; the number of oc cupants in relation ito floor space; and the amount of money available in the budget. Apparatus'. The foundation of Sturtevant's business is heating and ventilating ap paratus and Sturtevant shops produce practically all the mechanical equipment necessary for a modern and efficient heat ing and ventilating system including supply and exhaust fans, blast extended surface heaters, unit ventilators, air blenders, air washers and humidifiers, roof ventilators and electric motors.

INDUSTRIAL
AIR CONDITIONING
Air can be conditioned inside manu facturing areas, packaging rooms and storage vaults to provide the exact atmos pheric conditions desired, so rendering pro ducer and manufacturer independent of outside weather. This is accomplished either by. means' of a complete system embodying mechanical refrigeration or by evaporative cooling and humidifying. Air conditioning, employing mechanical cool ing and dehumidifying, permits weathersensitive products to be manufactured, packaged, and stored under ideal indoor conditions which can be properly regulated for the type of materials handled, and uni formly maintained regardless of outside weather. Such mechanical refrigeration gives absolute control of both temperature and relative humidity simultaneously. Evaporative Cooling is' a less expensive method, and is particularly applicable in certain sections of the country where a wide spread exists between the inside dry bulb temperature and the outside wet bulb temperature.

The compressor is, of course, the heart of the air conditioning system. In large measure, the users satisfaction rests upon its design, its-construction, its size, its efficiency, its dependability. The following facts about Westinghouse Hermetically-Sealed Freon-12 Compressors are, accordingly, presented herewith for your information:
The basic design was established over 20 years ago. Thousands of successful
installations have proved its dependability.
'
Shaft seals have been eliminated through the hermetically-sealed design.
' As a result, leaks through shaft seals, most common cause of refrigerant loss and
system failure, are unknown with Westinghouse compressors.
..
Belts, pulleys and couplings do not exist in this compressor. These are items which require frequent adjustment and replacement. Their elimination greatly y reduces maintenance time and expense.
Direct drive conserves power. Power losses common to belt-driven machines
' are eliminated. '
.
' .,
. Sealed-in mechanism is protected from rust, dirt and corrosion. Pressure
lubricated, it gives years of trouble-free service. Yet the entire mechanism is
readily accessible for service when needed.
.
Compact size and light weight are important when planning equipment installation. These are inherent advantages of the hermetically-sealed design.
Flexible Operation is made possible by the application of a variable capacity accessory which loads and unloads one or more cylinders of the compressor as cooling requirements,fluctuate.
Installation in unveiitilated spaces is practical with the Westinghouse Com pressor because the driving motor is refrigerant-cooled. 'Thus otherwise waste space can be effectively used for equipment.

Campbell Heater in factory of National Mfg. Stamping Co.. Des Moines, Iowa
The Campbell Heater shown above is installed in a two-story factory building 80 x 120 ft. with 12 ft. ceiling height on each floor. There are no ducts--this heater sends heat to all parts of the building without ducts. On a zero day thermometers near .four corners of the first floor varied only from 59 to 62 deg.--the north west corner was 60 deg. When warm air is desired to remote rooms it can be provided by a properly
designed duct system.
. This heating performance was accomplished in spite of the fact that the heater is
in the south east corner of the building. Heated air traveling to the north end of the
room must overcome the obstruction to air flow caused by the timbers above--the
air must flow across the timbers, not with them.
.
In this installation the heater rests upon the floor of the room to be heated. Where floor space is limited and valuable the blower can be mounted on top of the heater or put under it by raising the heater, provided the ceiling, height is sufficient.
Five Advantages of Campbell Heaters
.
1. Easy to Install--In most cases the Campbell Heater can be put into operation within 72 hours after delivery.
2. Especially Adaptable to Ductless Convection Heating--Elimi- * nation of ducts reduces cost in heating a single large room.'
3. Compact in Design--Over-all dimensions can be adapted to meet . , any reasonable limitations of floor space or ceiling height.
4. Efficient with any Type of Fuel--Especially adaptable to stoker . firing, but operates equally well with fuel oil or gas.
5. Low in Cost--Because of standardized design and efficient manu facturing methods, Campbell Heaters are low in cost.
Campbell Heaters are guaranteed to deliver full rated capacity.

CAMPBELL "WINTER-CHASER" AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
The Campbell "Winter-Chaser" System provides all the essentials of winter air conditioning: Simultaneous control of temperature, humidity, air circulation and air : cleanliness, besides providing fresh air for ventilation, quick heating, flexibility; and a summer cooling effect. Campbell equipment is built of the best materials obtainable, and, has been developed through over sixty years of experience. The system is designed by competent experienced engineers and installed by experienced mechanics. It is guaran teed as to results and for 10 years as to durability.
Advantages of Campbell "Winter-Chaser" Design
Compact design, requiring minimum space--the heater can be placed readily in any ordinary boiler or furnace room.
Efficient radiating surface--permits an immense amount of radiating surface in a small space. Ratio of prime radiating surface to grate area is more than 30 to 1. This produces very low flue gas tempera ture with consequent high efficiency.
Vertical self-cleaning radiating sur faces constitute most of the heating sur face--hence are not insulated with soot and ashes.
Vertical air-warming tubes com pletely surround the fire, subjecting greater prime heating surface to direct contact with the fire--less liable to be overheated.
Extra large combustion space above grate permits smoke and air to mix and burn before striking heating surface--less unburned gases escape up the chimney.
Long return smoke travel--the tubes form a dividing wall each side of the fire,
separated in the back to let smoke pass through behind the tubes and to the front of heater. This assures long contact with heating surfaces.
Two convenient cleanouts permit easy cleaning of the smoke passages with out putting out the fire.
Basement heating on the same level
as the heater, is solved by this Campbell System. Entire capacity of heater can be forced into the basement and thus heat a large room in a few minutes.

HEATING DIVISION 7924 Riopelle Street Detroit 11, Michigan
GAS-FIRED TEMPERED-AIRE UNIT
The heart of this efficient heating unit is the cast iron heat exchanger. Combustion takes place in the large firebox which has sufficient volume to prevent flame impingement. From the firebox, the products of combus tion pass upward, diverge, and enter the triangular-shaped vertical channelways which contain cast-in baffles to direct the gases laterally against the side' walls in their upward course.
Durablecast iron was chosen for theconstruc-
tion of the heat ex changer after consulta tions with Utility Engi
neers. The corrugated
firebox and overall de sign provide an inti
mate contact for gases and air resulting in a
high rate of heat transfer.
The multiple jet
gas burner provides
a controlled Vshaped flame. Ab
solutely silent in
starting and stop ping.
The control sys
tem employs both a
mechanical limit

OIL-FIRED TEMPERED-AIRE UNIT
A high efficiency, direct fired, complete heating unit
designed for home installation. The primary transfer of
heat occurs in the large firebox which has its outlet at
the bottom through which the hot gases pass into the
economizer. Here the gases divide into long, thin slices
within tubes. Each tube is swept at high velocity by cold
return air which absorbs a maximum of heat from the
economizer.
-
Integral burner and combustion chamber intermingles and ro tates oil and air for
perfect combustion.
Integrally built firebox-economizer
unit. The teardrop shape removes the peak from the high temperature zone eliminating hot spots.
All parts of the
power unit are die
formed and welded into a single unit. Rubber mounted.
Quick-acting flash humidifier provides
adequate humidity under short firing cycle conditions.
Large air blower
delivers a generous
quantity of air against the friction of duct systems.
DELUXE TEMPERED-AIRE WITH REMOVABLE, WASHABLE CLOTH FILTERS

THE GRINNELL UNIT-HEATER
Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.
In addition to its patented Internal Cooling Leg Thermolier has many other desirable
features including its Single Header U-Tube construction which compensates for ex
pansion and contraction strains. Radiation is from brass-finned seamless copper U-
tubes rolled into a cast iron tube sheet.
Steam circulation and the removal of condensation in Thermolier are distinctly
.different than is usual in unit heaters. The actual cooling effect of this construction is*
equal to a run of more than 100 ft of ordinary, exterior cooling leg piping.
Steam is delivered into Chamber "A" of the header and circulates from there through
the pitched.U tubes, carrying its condensation with it into Chamber "B." By partition
ing off the lower tube or tubes at the bottom of the Steam Supply Chamber "A" these
tubes carry all condensation from Chamber *'B" into Drain Chamber "C." In passage of
. this condensation through these tubes, the air from the fan is rapidly carrying off heat
just as it does in the rest of the unit. The result is that these two bottom tubes form
an efficient internal cooling leg, integral with the unit.
Thermolier is available in 10 Models. Catalog will be sent on request, to Grinnell
Company, Inc., 277 West Exchange Street, Providence 1, R. I., or to any branch office
in principal cities listed on our page 1112.

THE EXCLUSIVE McQUAY RIPPLE-FIN
COIL ASSEMBLY
The McQuay Fin and Tube assembly in all Mc Quay coils and cores is one of the reasons McQuay products are considered "Tops in Over-All Efficien cy" by many heating and refrigeration authorities.
Heat transfer efficiency primarily depends on three elements in coil construction. First, "Area of Con tact,Second, "Contact Pressure" and finally "Quality of Contact" between collar and tube.
In McQuay coils all three necessary elements are found developed to their highest degree. The famous McQuay "Wide Fin Collar" plus Exclusive Hydraulic Expansion together with the polished sur face, secured by "spinning" the fin collar, truly
provides the last word in Heat Transfer.

The Radial Unit Heater, an ex

signed to do what no other unit heater
can do--namely, distribute heat over
a semi-circular area.
This Patented design, with the fins
themselves acting as directional louvers,
enables the radial heater to do the
work of two or more conventional
units. This naturally reduces instal
lation costs, both from the standpoint
of labor and material.
In addition to Radial Unit Heaters,

BLAST HEATERS
CABINET UNIT HEATERS
For modern air conditioning, heat ing, ventilating, drying and proces sing systems. Con denser is pure cop per and copper alloy, inlet to out let, for resistance to corrosion, dura bility, light weight and high heat trans fer. "Floating" condenser construc tion provides safe expansion and con traction. Fins are ' metallically bonded to tubes to prevent corrosion from re ducing heat transfer capacity. Die formed fins promote greater heat transfer; permit use of smaller, lighter coils. Modine design permits use of ducts having cross-sectional areas no greater than those of condenser face. Wide range of capacities and sizes available in Stand ard and Booster Unit types.
STEAM DISTRIBUTION TYPE BLAST HEATERS
Cross-section supply end, showing double
tube construction
These coils are characterized by ,, ] the uniform distri^ bution of. steam throughout entire heating surface . . . even when steam is partially throttled to meet system tem perature demands. Inserted in each con denser tube is a steam-distributing tube with small, accurately-sized and spaced orifices along its entire length. Steam entering distributing tube is uniformly rationed through orifices into external or . condenser tube . . . then flows as con densate into return header. Uniform steam distribution minimizes tendency of condensate freezing and tube damage; eliminates need for preheaters or tem pering coils, thus simplifying system design and control; eliminates air stream strati fication.
Designed for heating offices, lobbies, corridors, etc. . . . wherever quick, posi tive distribution of heat combined with
quiet operation and gentle air move ment are desirable. Has considerably greater heat
output than convector of equivalent size. Employs cop
per heating coil for use on steam or hot water system.
Mounted on wall or ceiling. Capacities: 105 Edr. and
310 and 450 Edr.
CONVECTOR RADIATION
Built to meet modern
residential, institutional,

requirements, Modine
convectors operate on
the principle of natural

heavier air is drawn in
Floor Cabinet Type
through the enclosure's bottom opening; comes
in contact with copper heating unit that
carries steam or hot water. As air is
heated, it rises; is then circulated out into.
room through grille at top of enclosure.
Concealed copper heating unit combines compactness with high heat capacity--to give room added floor space as well as fast, even heating. Use of copper makes the heating unit almost instantly respon sive to automatic control.
Enclosures are streamlined for simplicity and harmonize readily with any type of
interior. Parker-Bonderized before being
prime painted, the enclosures are less
, vulnerable to the formation and spread of rust.
. Manually installed enclosure fronts can
be installed in 30 seconds without tools.
Easy removal of fronts assures convenience in cleaning and gives ready access to the heating unit.

As shown in diagram these heaters are built as a complete unit consisting of heater, casing, firing equipment, multi ple blower assembly, motor, drive* induced draft blower and controls. NATIONAL HEATERS ^are con structed of welded copper bearing hot rolled one quarter inch boiler plate steel instead of the usual lighter ten guage plate. This provides positive assurance of life-long gas and smoke tight operation with ample provision for absorbing all strains resulting from expansion and contraction.
The body of the heat generator is long and narrow in design, allowing complete fuel consumption with prop erly spaced Radiating fins to facilitate maximum heat transmission from this primary heating surface.
Casings are sturdy with insulated double

WING REVOLVING UNIT HEATERS
This innovation in the method of dis tributing heat produces a sensation in heating comfort never before attained--a sensation of fresh, live, invigorating air.
The fact that the outlets revolve assures uniform and thorough distribution of com fortably warmed air throughout the entire working area, without drafts, hot spots or cold spots.
Such an unprecedented high efficiency in distributing heat is the result of nearly 20 years of constant study by Wing engi neers to improve on the Floodlight System of heating pioneered by WING in 1921. This method projects the heated air verti cally downward by means of light-weight, ceiling-suspended unit heaters.
It has needed only this latest refinement of slowly revolving discharge outlets to ` bring that method to perfection.
The WING Revolving Discharge type supplements the WING line of standard fixed discharge Gullets, illustrated and described on the following page.
Bulletin HR-4.
The latest type of WING Unit Heater-- with Revolving Discharge Outlets--is just as great a contribution to the art of industrial heating as was the Ceiling-Suspended Unit Heater, an nounced by WING in 1921.
The area covered by a WING Revolving Unit Heater is slowly swept by the heated air discharged by the outlets which move through an arc of 360 deg. covering every direction of the com pass successively.
By maintaining an active, constant circu lation of air through out an industrial plant at all times, a new sensation of refreshing, 0 invigorating comfort to [kj workers is produced.

Air Quality Control for Air Condi tioning--Airkem Chlorophyll Air Fresh ener reduces odors and provides a fresh indoor air quality. Manufactured under U. S. Patent 2,326,672, Airkem contains activated chlorophyll and is especially suited to industrial and commercial ap plications.
The efficacy of Airkem in producing a fresh indoor air quality has been demon strated by its use in theaters, department stores, industrial plants, banks, hotels, restaurants, offices and in the most exact ing of all fields--hospitals. In addition, Airkem permits reduction of the fresh air intake in air conditioning systems with corresponding reductions in both summer and winter load, and savings in fuel, water and electric power.
..Easily Added to Systems--It is easy to engineer Airkem into new systems or
. add to existing air conditioning or venti lating systems, either large central systems or the smaller packaged units. The Airkem Evapatrol unit consists of a small vaporizing cartridge enclosed in an attractive casing, an Airkem reservoir with pump and an Airkem regulator.The vaporizing unit can be installed., directly on the side of the fan section of a packaged type unit or on the fan section of the plenum chamber of any central system. The suction of blower in either case draws air through the cartridge which is saturated with Airkem. The satura tion of the cartridge is maintained by
7 means of a solenoid operated pump which is mounted directly on the Airkem reservoir, and pumps the Airkem to the distributor in the vaporizing unit. The operation of the pump is controlled, by the regulator which permits adjusting the amount of Airkem by timing the pump strokes at the required intervals. Both the Airkem regulator and reservoir can be installed at remote locations.

Air Recovery
Equipment
DOREX Activated Carbon Adsorbers recover the freshness of vitiated air by
extracting air-borne odorous, gaseous and vaporous impurities. When applied to
recirculated air in air conditioning, DOREX Adsorbers convert used, stale, conditioned
air for ventilation thus reducing to a minimum the volume of unconditioned outdoor
air make-up otherwise necessary.
.
With DOREX Air Recovery, the cooling and heating capacity of a proposed air con ditioning system is decreased by the saving in outdoor air load.
With DOREX Air Recovery, an existing air conditioning system will serve a larger
space or satisfy a greater conditioning load without increase in cooling or heating equip
ment or the consumption of more fuel or energy.
.
-
The highly active, specially processed and impregnated cafbon employed will remove from the air passed through it and retain 95 per cent of all entrained gaseous impurities and maintain approximately this efficiency for from 6 months to 2 years depending upon the air contamination. Upon exhaustion the carbon may be reactivated for re-use.
pOREX Air Recovery equipment is available in several types to suit individual
requirements.

STAYNEW MODEL A-3 AUTOMATIC FILTER
A New and Improved High Efficiency . Automatic Air Filter
An endless curtain type oil-bath filter outmoding the previous Model A design. In addition to offering all exclusive features of the earlier model, the new A-3 maintains higher efficiency, greater dirt-handling ability, improved air brush conditioning and other qualities. Meanwhile the original low resistance has been retained.
Operation and Features: Two endless curtains are
carried on heavy roller chains which are driven by
sprockets keyed to the shafts of the curtain rollers. These
rollers float on ball bearings for quiet, frictionless oper
ation. Curtains consist of removable panels made of a
single layer of bronze screen cloth to which are attached
layers of woven copper mefeh. The first of the curtains
is the denser, having about twice the impingement sur
face of the second or rear curtain. This first curtain acts
as the filter and travels through the oil reservoir. The
second curtain does not enter the reservoir but acts only
as. a safeguard against oil entrainment. This design
permits the front curtain to be rotated so that the panels
on the air-entering side move downward into the oil bath
and are cleaned before rising on the return or clean side.
Thus no dust can be carried across the back or return
side of the front curtain to be blown off and carried on
by the flow of air.
.
Patented Staynew Air Brush Conditioners prevent . excessive amounts of oil being carried upward on the
curtain panels and being entrained in the air stream. This is important, since natural drainage of even the finest grades of filter oil cannot be depended upon, due to changes in viscosity.
Specifications
The Model A-3 filters are sectional and may be bolted together to obtain any required capacity. Sections come in two widths: 4 ft 3 in. and 2 ft 9 in.. The filter drive and control mechanism includes a ^ hp motor driving through a reduction gear, a Telechron Time Switch, and a momentary contact by-pass switch (providing manual control when required)--all mounted on a common base plate located on clean air side of filter.. The drive motor and the Air Brush Conditioners operate simultaneously for a few seconds at 15-minute intervals. Each control mechanism, handles up to and including 4 filter sections.

Based on our recommended face velocity of 519 ft per minute, Far-Air filters deliver 50% more air with lower pressure drop. Filters are all metal, permanent construc tion . . . Installation of Far-Air Filters, ef fects a saving not only in initial costs but. maintenance as well--you need only % of the filter area, with a Far-Air filter.
Low .Pressure Drop . . . More Air Delivery . . . High Efficiency Large Dust Holding Capacity . . . Easy Cleaning-- these Far-Air features are the resutt of Farr's radically different crimped wire screen filter construction. Of paramount importance to heating and refrigeration engineers is the fact that Farr Filters provide a filter area equal to the fin coil area. This special feature eliminates clumsy V-shaped additions on vent ducts usually necessary with other type filters.
PROGRESSIVE LOADING
As entering orifices of Far-Air Herring bone Construction Filters are loaded, air direction changes, flowing past the front loaded surface and progressively loading the dean screen mesh that remains. Greater free area permits a larger dust * load with lower pressure drop. The slight
difference in pressure drop when a Far-Air Filter is loaded from when it is clean maintains a constant balanced air flow in the air distribution system.

Dust-Stop Air Filters are replaceable impingement-type filters for use in all systems in which air is moved mechani cally--central heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems, and forcedwarm-air furnaces.
Dust-Stops provide high air filtering efficiency. They are constructed of packs of glass fibers (Fiberglas*),' coated with an adhesive, faced with a metal grille, and bound on the edge with a fiberboard frame.
The-Fiberglas fibers, packed to proper density; form an exceptionally effective -medium for air filtration. Being glass, they are inorganic, chemically stable, resistant to heat and corrosive vapors.
And being of glass, they do not absorb the nonodorous, nonevaporating adhesive
with which they are coated. Each im
pinged particle of dust is quickly soaked, acting as a wick to carry adhesive to other particles. Thus, the adhesive remains
effective until the filter is so heavily
loaded with dust that resistance to air
flow calls for replacement.
-
A minimum of manpower and time is
required in replacing economical Dust-
Stops--and they can be obtained quickly
from near-by suppliers. Dust-Stops are
made in two standard types: No. 1 (1 in.
thick) and No. 2 (2 in. thick). Both are
available in several sizes.

PRECIPITRON*
Westinghouse Precipitron--the electronic air cleaner--now makes possible greater efficiency in removing dust, dirt, smoke and other foreign particles from the air. The Precipitron cells are simply installed in the forced-air or air-conditioning system and sealed so the air must pass
through them (see illustration). Dirt,
smoke and soot pass through an electro-
static field, receive a positive charge, and
are drawn to a collection plate of opposite
polarity where they remain until flushed
down the drain.
,
ADVANTAGES
The following major advantages make
Precipitron the complete answer to mass
air cleaning in all buildings using forced
ventilation or air-conditioning duct sys
tems.
Unmatched Efficiency -- Precipitron
removes particles as small as 1/250,000 of
an inch in diameter, and removes 90 per
cent of 'all air-borne dust particles in the
air stream.
.
Easily Cleaned--New vertical collector
plates make it still easier to clean the
Precipitron. Collected dirt is flushed
harmlessly down the drain.
Safe--Precipitron isapproved by U nder-
writers' Laboratories without installation
of additional fire protection apparatus.
Nothing to Clog--Precipitron creates
only negligible resistance in the forced
air -system under continuous operation.
No Moving Parts--Precipitron has no
morejnoving parts than a storage battery.
Trademark registered in U.S.A.
TESTS PROVE EFFICIENCY
Accepted testing methods previously
conducted on a weight basis have been
obsoleted since Precipitron entered the
field of air cleaning. The Blackness Test
reproduced here provides greater accuracy,
approximates the actual particle count and
is made without the addition of artificial
dust. The efficiency of Precipitron by
Weight Test showed over 99% and by the
Blackness Test as high as 90% at 300
FPM per 36 in.

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF INSTALLATION WITH AUTOMATIC WASHER
CELLS
The cell itself, known as the Collector, is composed of two duplicate sets of high voltage and ground plates mounted be tween two load-bearing end plates laced together by steel bars, angles and channels to form a rigid structure.
Precipitron is built in sizes to handle from 1260 cfm (for a single 24 in. cell) to any desired volume through multiple cell arrangements. Cells are available in two sizes: 24 in. x 24 in. x 26)4 in. and 36 in. X 24in. X 26)4 in. For 90 per cent efficiency, the 24 in. and 36 in. cells are rated at 1200 and 1800 cfm respectively. For 85 per cent efficiency, ratings are 1500 and 2250 cfm.
IONIZERS
Made of formed sheet steel, top, bottom and side plates welded together to form a rigid frame. The ground tubes run ver tically between the top and bottom plates. Two sets of Ionizing wires are used; one, the usual vertical set, and another set stretching horizontal at the-ends to pre vent leakage around the ends of the wires.
POWER PACKS
The Power Pack is employed to change the a-c supply to d-c of suitable voltage to charge the Ionizers and Collector Cells. They furnish approximately 6 kv (6000 volts) d-c to the plate circuit of Collector Cells and. 13 kv (13,000 volts) d-c to the Ionizer circuit.
The Power Packs contain rectifier tubes, Inerteen impregnated capacitors, and an indicator system and panel. Cabinet doors, opened by a thumb screw, provide time delay, simultaneously breaking the primary circuit, -if' this has not already been done at* another point.
Three types of Packs are available, dif fering principally in the number of cells they will energize. These types are:
Type L--Suitable for 4 to 16-36 in. cells.
Type S--Suitable for 1 to 5-36 in. cells.
Type M--Suitable for 1-24 in., 2-24 in.,
1-36 in., or 1-24 in. and 1-36 in. cell. -
All Power Packs are designed to operate from 115 volts * 5 volts on single phase a-c systems.
this header vertically up and down over
the face of the cells. The secondary ele
ment of the washer is the control of its
automatic operation which is described
under "Control Panel."
*
Illustration below shows complete wash
er with back vanes closed, the washing
being done with vanes in this position as
air is prevented from going through this
group and forced through the balance of
the cells where it is cleaned.
Header is moved by means of roller
chains driven through a gear reducer by
a )4 hp, 220-440 volt, 3 phase motor. A
limit switch controls up and down travel
of header.
CONTROL PANEL
This panel operates the two traveling headers of the washer automatically once they have been placed in position on either side of the cell group to be washed and the momentary, contact pushbutton on the
panel has been pushed. Control Panel comes fully assembled, is
internally wired and ready to be set in place. The control circuit requires 110 volts single-phase (25 or 60 cycles) of sufficient capacity to carry aK^P motor. The power circuit requires either 220-volt or 440-volt, 3-phase, 25 or 60 cycle power of sufficient capacity to handle two )4 hp motors in reversing service.
FULL DETAILS--For complete infor mation on this new principle of cleaning air electronically, write Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Box 868, Pittsburgh 30, Pa. or contact your nearest Westing house office.
TRAVELING HEADER
The basic element of the automatic washer is a set of spray nozzles which spray either water, compressed air or adhesive on the Precipitron cells. Water nozzles are mounted on a horizontal head er and a mechanism is provided to move

Water, pouring in from the top of the Coey Cooling Tower, is met by a counterflow of air at a velocity of approximately 1500 ft per minute. The water flows across this air in a /baling film. At five platform stages this entire floating film of water is broken into droplets substantially all the same size and each droplet is surface cooled. Size is
important because when droplets are too large they do not cool enough, when they are
too small they evaporate completely.

RAPID AIR CHANGE NEEDED FOR EFFECTIVE COOLING
Unprecedented production demands in recent years have highlighted the necessity for rapid air. change in factories, shops and offices to combat heat fatigue and maintain morale among workers. Many plant managers have only recently learned that a complete air change every 30 seconds to one minute is necessary for effective cooling. Coolair pioneered this principle and developed large, efficient exhaust fans to do the job.
Coolair also has pioneered in developing a complete line of ultra-quiet home-cooling attic fans. A wide range of sizes and types are stocked by Coolair dealers and distributors in most sections of the country.
In planning a Coolair installation, determine cubic content of space to be cooled and select fan from table on opposite page adequate to provide at least a one minute air change.

Builders of Heating, Ventilating, Cooling, Purifying, Humidifying and Air Washing Equipment; Exhaust and Drying Apparatus, Mechanical Draft and Blast, Fans and Blowers of all Types
TYPE "F" PLEXIFORM FANS AND TYPE "AP" AEROPLEX FANS
Plexiform and Aeroplex Fans are both designed for heating, ventilating and air conditioning service. The Type "F" fan is using a multi
blade wheel (see cut at left) while the type "AP" fan is built around a wheel of high speed design
(see cut at right.)
The wheels determine the
character of the performance or the fan "Characteristics,"
thus the Type "F" is a slow speed fan having a rising
power curve,, while the "AP" is a high speed design and has
self-limiting power character
istics. Both fans are highly efficient and can be built single inlet, single width, or
double inlet, double width in ten different arrangements of drive and eight directions of discharge. The standard fans * range in capacity from 1200 to 300,000 Cfm and these fans are readily available in Class I or JI designs for various
types of duty. Class III and IV can be furnished on special
application.
Type "EX" Fans
For all exhaust problems, pneumatic conveying, fume exhaust etc. "EX"
is highly adaptable, feasible and serviceable fan. It is sturdy in construction, easily in stalled and maintained. The design is reversible and standard sizes Nos. 15 to 80 inclusive are
available.
Type "H" Fans
For pressure applications from 6 in. to 42 in. for belt drive or direct connection to motor, Type "H" is a most practical design. Standard sizes Nos. 25 to 80 are listed but the design is suitable for modification of wheel diameters to meet vari ous motor speeds.
Both "EX" and "H" fans can be designed to fit specific applications. The design permits easy modification of details and the fans can be used for induced, forced draft, cupola service, primary or secondary air supply to oil burners, etc. Special details,
outlet and inlet, or mounting can be designed to suit your special assembly.
Turbo Spray
The Turbo Spray for industrial and comfort conditioning, cooling and humidi fying, is a practical design as the atomi zation is by mechanical means, thus there can be no clogging or interruption of service even in atmosphere heavily laden with fibers or other foreign material. Single or multiple bank washer, one or two
stage designs can be fur
nished from 2500 to 100, 000 Cfm ca pacity. To fit
. space re quirements width and
height can be modified to suit.
Chinook & Chinookfin
Both Chinook and Chinookfin Coils are based bn the tube-within-a-tube de sign, originated by Bayley. The principle involved permits single header with ail tube ends, free expanding, thus elimi nating the likeli hood of freeze ups and cracking usual ly due to expansion and contraction strains. Both type coils are designed for usual hot blast heating and cover a wide range of capacities and applications.

AGITAIR DIFFUSERS
Type R AGITAIR is the only diffuser
that offers the higher efficiency of the square or rectangular shape in diffusing air quietly, draftlessly and with rapid temperature equalization throughout the average square or rectangular room. Its
patented construction can be assembled into patterns which discharge the re quired amount of air in one to four directions. .
Each side delivers a quantity of air proportional to the areas served. Thus the engineer or architect can select an attractive diffuser ^that fits his design-- rather than make his design fit the diffuser.
Circular AGITAIRS combine beautiful design with finest operating features.to give rapid temperature equalization and draftless diffusion of air. Model CSF is quiet, easy to install. Pressure losses at minimum. Type A diffusers are smaller, weigh less, are easy to install. Type CM is for marine use. In all sizes for all types of mounting and with lighting combinations. ^ Dampers are provided where needed.
The AGITAIR Diffuser Data Book, available to architects and engineers, will help you design and install air distribution systems. Consult our engineers.
OIL BURNING HOT WATER GENERATQRS
Ideal for hot water or heating service in
domestic, apartment house, industrial and
marine applications because they are light in
weight and can be installed without special
foundations or floor coverings. The AGIT
AIR is down-fired to conserve floor space and
facilitate servicing of the burner. Burner is
fully automatic, with simplified design to
reduce weight, cost of installation and possi
bility of .failure. Special stacks are not
necessary. Type A, weight 300 lb, 400 to-

AGITAIR AIR FILTERS
Permanent, cleanable AGITAIR Air
Filters give more effective filtering with
greater dust holding capacity and excep tionally low resistance.
The new, improved filter medium di
vides theair stream into myriadsof streams
which impinge upon and deposit dirt and
dust on the viscous coated surfaces. Large
interstices provide exceptional dust-hold
ing capacity--AGITAIR serves longer
without cleaning.
Ideal for applications where filters are
in service for many hours without a "rest"
period, because AGITAIR'S viscous coat
ing has a vigorous "wick action" that
keeps the surface of the dust deposit
always wet, no matter how fast the dust
cake builds up.
Construction is sturdy arc-welded steel,
with protected faces to withstand severe
cleaning abuse. They are easier to clean,
and can be returned to top efficiency with
little trouble.

The Anemostat High Velocity Air Diffuser
THE ANEMOSTAT PRINCIPLE
ANEMOSTATS produce unparalleled results be cause of their unique design which operate on the
following interdependent principles:
1. Air expansion within the device, which reduces velocity instantiy.
2. True Aspiration, which causes room air equal to 30 to 35 per cent of the supply air to be drawn into the device where it is mixed with the supply air. The percentage of aspira tion depends on the type of Anemostat used.
3. Creation of a'multiplicity of air currents and countercurrents.at low velocities, which causes slow but adequate secondary air motion.
Anemostat Type "AC" For supplying, extracting or returning air.
Anemostat Type "C" For diffusion of supply air only.
Type "AC" Anemostat is a combination
device for supplying air and either extracting it or
returning it to the conditioner. Designed to
extract or return 75 cfm ' of room air for every
100 cfm of supply air. This percentage of extract
or return may be increased or decreased by varying
the extract velocities. It furthermore has an
aspiration effect of 30 per cent. May be used with
velocities up to 2500 fpm, and wherever both
supply and return, or extract are required through
the same unit. Should not be used with ceiling
heights exceeding 14 ft.
-
Type "AR" Anemostat is a diffusion device for supply air only, for use in applications where a
relatively high rate of air change (more than 12 per
hour) must be maintained. It has 35 'per cent aspiration. It is particularly suitable where
obstructions such as beams or columns are close to the diffusion unit and restrict the normal radius of diffusion.
Type "B" Anemostat is a diffusion device for
supply air only. It has 35 per cent aspiration.
May be used with velocities up to 4000 fpm and is
suitable for industrial and commercial installations.
Can be used on either exposed or concealed duct
work.
.
Type "C" Anemostat is a diffusion device for
supply air only. NIt has 35 per cent aspiration.. May be used with velocities up to 2500 fpm. Must ,
be installed flush with ceiling and cannot be used on exposed duct work.
Type "HU-3" and "HU-4" Anemostats
have been developed to obtain draftless, economical
heat distribution from vertical discharge unit
heaters, and uniform heat coverage of floor areas.
Type "HU-3" and "HU-4" Anemostats may be
combined with practically all sizes and types of
Vertical Discharge Heaters on the market. A
number of unit heater manufacturers now supply
"HU" Anemostats as a part of their equipment.
"HU" Anemostats may be used on duct work for
general heating installations.

BREIDERT AIR-X-HAUSTERS
.
FOR ROOF VENTILATING, VENT FLUES & CHIMNEY TOPS
The Breidert Air-X-Hauster intro duces a new principle in ventilator design. Because of the revolutionary, aerodynamically-correct design of the Breidert Air-XHauster, wind currents striking it from any angle are converted into a powerful suction force that rapidly exhausts stale air from the interior of the house, kitchen or build ing. The Breidert remains stationary, has no moving parts. Back-drafts are elimi
nated where there is
no interior negative
pressure!
Type B
The Breidert ^
ventilator offers
certified capacity
ratings based on
tests made with

angles (as shown).
These high capacities were proved and
certified by Smith, Emery Co., Pacific
Coast branch of Pittsburgh Testing Lab
oratories. Insist on certified ratings based
on directional wind tests at various vertical
angles as shown in considering any venti
lator. Breidert Air-X-Hausters were used
extensively during the war on many types
of combat and cargo ships, war housing,
military barracks, and other government
buildings. They also are widely used on all
types of factories, commercial buildings,
and residences.
-
For Kitchen Ventilation . . . The Breidert system provides a continuous, silent, effective circulation of air that exhausts heat and odor&al their source, with no operating or maintenance expense. There are no "hang-over" cooking odors because the exhaust action of the Breidert is continuous. The neat, compact appearance of the "Type A" Breidert especially recommends it for residences.
. For Vent Flue Gaps ... The Breidert does not have the defects of conventional types
of caps and accessories. It eliminates the necessity for down-draft diverters, with
accompanying dangers of explosion in case unburned gas accumulates or is blown into
the room.
-
For Chimney' Tops . . . By stopping all down-drafts (interior negative pressure
excepted), a Breidert Air-X-Hauster on the chimney absolutely prevents the fireplace
from smoking and damaging furnishings. It provides positive "draw" regardless of 'wind
direction!

ENGINEERED AIR DISTRIBUTION OUTLETS
VENTURI-FLO Overhead Air Diffusers
Venturi-Flo overhead air diffusers have flow charac teristics similar to those of the well known fluid-flow measuring device--the Venturi Meter. The relation ship between the neck area of the unit proper and the Venturi-Flo throat area is so proportioned as to create a slight back pressure in the neck at all times, thereby automatically insuring uniform distribution around the entire periphery of the unit.
Three types of overhead diffusers are available, the recessed, the surface, and the thermostatically con trolled types. A wide range of sizes permits handling air volumes up to 15,000 cfm per unit. Fittings for attaching any standard light fixtures to the outlets may be obtained for all designs. The surface and recessed types can also be furnished as combination supply and exhaust units and with adjustable dampers.
Uni-Flo Grilles and Registers are especially designed for air conditioning applications. They are engineered and prefabricated with directional flow fins for each individual application. Proper air distribution is assured and the necessity for adjustment after instal lation obviated.
Uni-Flo Grilles and Registers can be furnished in a variety of shapes and sizes for plain and curved surfaces.
Registers are similar in construction to grilles but with the addition of spring loaded positive closing fan or key-operated dampers.
Electroplated Finishes: Gunmetal, brushed bronze, plain zinc, and satin copper; also available in gray prime coat and satin aluminum.
Uni-Flo Air Distribution Accessories: Include
the Volocitrol and the Airturn. The Airturn is a scienti fically designed and highly efficient air turning member. The aero-dynamically correct vanes reduce losses caused by eddies, reverse air flow and low pressure areas at the turn to a minimum. Airturns are prefabricated and are available in units of one piece construction in sizes up to and including 48 in. x 48 in.
The Volocitrol has been designed to noiselessly pro vide positive and adjustable control of air volume, N pressure and distribution across a supply outlet. They are available in two models, one for use with side wall and the other for overhead systems of air distribution.

CONTROL OF AIR FLOW IN TWO PLANES
Instant Adjustment of Air Flow
(Up, Straight or Down)
Is obtained by turning the regulator on the register face., to the proper setting with a key furnished with each register. When the valve is opened, as shown at the left, the individual valve louvres automatically stop in position to provide the proper air flow--Up (Fig. 1) for cooling systems to avoid drafts; Straight (Fig. 2) for ventilating systems; Down (Fig. 3) for heating systems to prevent stratification. When the valve is closed, as shown at the left below, it completely stops the flow of air.
Air Flow Can be Quickly Adjusted Sideways
No. 75 Design has a flexible fin-type face. Each fin' may
be twisted individually with a wrench furnished with each
register or grille to provide any desired sideway deflection
of the air flow.

EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF AIR OVER ENTIRE FACE
The turning blade valve distributes the air evenly with a uniform velocity over the
entire face, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 on the preceding page. Note how the air rushes
through the upper part of the face with a conventional register, as shown in Fig. 4.
Since the entire face of No. 75 Design register is utilized for discharge of air, smaller and
in some cases fewer registers can be used without causing excessive velocities.
Prevention oi Streaked Ceilings--With either UP, STRAIGHT, OR DOWN
deflections the air does not strike the ceiling immediately in front of the register; streaked
ceilings are thus avoided.
Excellent Concealment of Duct--The depth and close spacing of the vertical bars,
combined with the valve, provide almost complete concealment of the duct, adding
considerably to the pleasing appearance of the register face.

USS COPPER STEEL
For Superior Rust Resistance at Low Cost
Corrosion resistance and cost are two determining factors of the type of metal to be used for various air conditioning jobs.
Copper Steel has 2 to 3 times the atmos pheric corrosion resistance of plain steel or pure iron as shown in the results of un biased tests made at Pittsburgh, Ft. Sheridan and Annapolis by the American Society for Testing Materials.
The cost of U*S'S Copper Steel is less than that of pure iron or copper-bearing pure iron and only slightly more than plain steel. Thus there often is a dividend of 200 per cent to 300 per cent longer life and a saving in the first cost as well.
When galvanized, U`S*S Copper Steel produces a sheet that is rust'resistant all \ the way through--not just on the surface. It should be used for all ducts carrying humidified air or placed in damp locations such as basements, shower rooms, etc.
U S S PAINTBOND
U*S*S PaintBond should be used whenever galvanized steel is to be painted. This special Bonderized sheet can be painted immediately, offers a much better surface for painting, lessens danger of the paint flaking and retards corrosion. It is used for ductwork, furnace housings and outdoor metal work.
Send for our PaintBond booklet.
USS DUL-KOTE
U S S Dul-Kote is a specially treated non-spangled galvanized sheet which also can be painted immediately without aging or otherwise preparing the surface. It is available in the South and in the West.

FITTINGS
For Heating, Plumbing and Air Conditioning
Anaconda Deoxidized Copper Water Tubes assembled with Anaconda Fittings
oiler an unusual combination of advan tages in hot water heating systems at a cost only slightly higher than black iron and approximately the same as wrought iron pipe. These advantages may briefly be summarized as follows-*.
Low Friction Loss--Because the inside
surfaces of copper tubes are inherently
smoother than those of pipe and tubes
made of ferrous materials and also because
they do not become roughened by the
formation of rust, these tubes oner a
lower resistance to flow. In addition,
the long radius turns of Anaconda Elbows
and the smooth inside surface of Anaconda
Wrought Copper Fittings further reduce
friction losses.
.
These factors naturally increase the
efficiency of the system, particularly when it includes a forced pressure circulator.
Ease of Installation--In many places the flexibility of copper tubes simplifies connections that ordinarily would be awk
ward and expensive to make with rigid pipe and threaded fittings. Anaconda Solder Fittings are compact. They can be installed in restricted space where the use of a wrench would be impossible.
Architects and builders naturally object to large holes and. notches cut in the
framing members of a building for -the
passage of piping.. Anaconda Copper
Tubes can be installed with a minimum of
cutting in the structure--although holes
should be large enough to permit move
ment of tubes due to expansion and
contraction.
;
Appearance--Anaconda Deoxidized
Copper Water Tubes assembled with Anaconda Solder Fittings present an at
tractive appearance. It is a frequent practice to clean the tubes after they are
installed and apply a coat of clear lacquer or similar substance. This keeps the tubes
bright and makes an installation of which both plumber and owner can be proud.
Temper and Thicknesses--Anaconda Copper Tubes are made in both hard and soft temper and in standard wall thick nesses.
They meet the requirements for these
types of 'tubes in Federal Specification
WW-T-799a and A.S.T.M. Specification
B88. Type K, the heaviest, is recom
mended for heating lines and general
piping.
'
Accuracy of Dimensions--Anaconda Deoxidized Copper Water Tubes are all
finished to the close size tolerances required by the A.S.T.M. and Federal Specifica
tions, which have been found essential for efficient assembly with solder fittings.
Permanent Identification--For per manent identification, the name "Ana conda" and the tetter designating the type of tube is stamped in the metal at intervals of approximately 18 in., throughout every coil or straight length of tube.
1104
Air Conditioning and Healing Piping Copper and Brass
The American Brass Company
Anaconda Copper Tubes, in all standard sizes, up to and including 1^4 in. are furnished soft in 30, 45 and 60-ft coils; also hard and soft in 20-ft straight lengths. Sizes over in. are furnished, hard or soft, in straight lengths only.
ANACONDA "85" RED BRASS PIPE
Anaconda "85" Red Brass Pipe, in standard pipe sizes, is considered the highest quality corrosion-resistant pipe commercially obtainable at a moderate price and is recommended for steam return lines.
Anaconda "85" Red Brass Pipe contains 85 per cent copper arid conforms to Govern ment specifications for Grade "A" water pipe. The mark "Anaconda 85" is stamped in the metal at one-foot intervals throughout each length.
However, like copper and all copper alloys, Everdur is not equally resistant to all corroding agents, nor to the same cor roding agents under all conditions. As with copper, the resistance to corrosion may be substantially reduced in some instances by the presence of oxidizing agents. Nevertheless, Everdur does offer excellent resistance to the corrosive action of many solutions and atmospheres.
Everdur Tanks--Everdur copper-sili con alloy is an ideal material for durable, rustless water tanks of every description-- from domestic range boilers to large storage heaters for hotels, laundries, hospitals, textile plants, schools or breweries.
Everdur is made in all commercial shapes including annealed tank plates which have physical properties as given in A.S.T.M. Specification B96.
EVERDUR*
Everdur Metal is the original coppersilicon alloy. It is manufactured by The American Brass Company in five standard compositions and in practically all com mercial forms.
This high strength engineering metal is resistant to a wide range of' corroding agents. Because of a versatile combina tion of useful properties, Everdur has become standard as a material for equip ment in many fields of engineering and industry.
In addition to their non-rusting proper ties and high' strength, Everdur alloys possess many qualities not usually found m metals of this character. .They are unusually resistant to general atmospheric - conditions and other normally corrosive factors. Everdur alloys^ have excellent machining and working characteristics and, can be fabricated into a variety of forms and shapes. Everdur alloys are available for oxy-acetylene or carbon arc welding.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
The corrosion resistance of Everdur is
equal to that of pure copper and in some
cases, slightly superior.
.
Minimum specification requirements for hot rolled-and-annealed tank plates are: Tensile Strength, 50,000 psi.; Yield Strength (at 0.5 per cent elongation under load) 18,000 psi.; Elongation, 40 per cent in 2 inches.
Welds made with annealed Everdur tank plates meet the requirements for Class B and C vessels in the A.S.M.E. Code for Unfired Pressure Vessels. '
For additional data and names of fabri cators address our nearest office or agency.
EVERDUR FOR AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT
Because of its strength and welding properties, Everdur may be substituted for steel and fabricated by substantially the same methods and with much the same equipment as steel.
Everdur metal has been used with marked success for fans and blowers, ducts, humidifiers, cast and wrought parts of other equipment items subject to corrosive influences.

Streamline Copper Pipe and Fittings for heating,, plumbing, air conditioning and industrial use are made by the Streamline Pipe and Fittings Division, Mueller Brass Co., Port Huron, Mich.
The Streamline Solder Fitting is the original solder type fitting, introduced and manufactured by the Mueller Brass Co. of Port Huron, Mich. It incorporates many advantageous features and has proved to be the revolutionary advance of the age in the development of piping systems for plumbing and heating and for many industrial uses.
. The Streamline Solder Fitting is not connected either by threading or flaring, but by soldering. The outside surface of the copper pipe and the inner surface of the Stream line fitting are cleaned with sanddoth, and solder flux is then applied to the cleaned surfaces to eliminate oxidation when the assembled joint is heated. The joint is then sufficiently heated with a blow or acetylene torch and the soldering operation is per formed by feeding wire or stick solder through the feed hole in the fitting.
The Streamline Solder Fitting alone has the solder feed hole, groove and taper. The solder feed hole, through which the solder is introduced, enters directly into an internal feed channel. The feed channel is located equidistantly between the internal shoulder against which the pipe rests and the outer edge of the fitting. When solder is introduced it is.distributed by capillarity from the feed channel and distributed evenly and thoroughly between the bonding surfaces,.traveling inward to the shoulder and outward to the edge of the fitting where it appears as a continuous solder ring around the full circumference of the pipe. This ring, and feed hole completely filled with solder, constitute positive proof to the operator that the joint is permanently leak-proof. An actual pressure test is not necessary.

The solder may be fed from any position, whether the feed hole is located at the top,
side or bottom. Owing to the never failing phenomena of capillarity, the solder will flow up, down or laterally with equal facility.
Streamline Copper Pipe is a seamless cold drawn copper tubing conforming to A.S.T.M. B88. It is made in sizes in. to 12 in. and Types K, L, and M, of which
Type K is the heaviest. The intermediate weight, Type L,ris the preferred weight for plumbing, heating and refrigeration.
For most purposes hard drawn pipe is used, though Types K and L can be furnished
annealed when bending is required. Annealed Type "K" in sizes up to 2 in. is widely used for underground water "services''.
An additional'lighter weight in sizes 3 to 12 in. inclusive is used by paper mills for water and stock lines at pressure up to 100 lb.
Streamline Solder Fittings are furnished in ail sizes to 6 in. inclusive. They'are of
the same thickness as Navy and MSS Fittings for 125 steam or 175 lb. non-shock water
pressure.
'
All fittings over 6 in. are flanged and may be had with either A.S.A. or riveted pipe
standard flanges.
-.
Mating flanges are soldered to the pipe--A.S.A. 125 standard flanges are available from 1 in. up.
During the last fifteen years architects and engineers have used Streamline Copper
Pipe and Fittings successfully in every type of building construction and in thousands
of installations throughout the United States and Canada. -
'
In addition to its rust and vibration-proof qualities and long life, Streamline has many other advantages such as the reduction in size of pipe lines and radiator con nections from those nominally used, a neat, compact installation requiring a minimum of space and important advantages in industrial and drainage applications. There is a
Streamline product for every piping requirement.

are proof against leaks so often caused by
stresses or vibration. Joints of this kind
are quickly made without any thread
cutting and are generally stronger than
the tube itself.
Advantages of Revere Copper Water
Tube--The many advantages of Revere
Copper Water Tube of particular interest
to design engineers can be summarized
briefly as follows:
1. A piping system comprising Revere'
Copper Water Tube and soldered fittings
can be installed in a minimum of space as
no allowance need be made for swinging
wrenches.
2. Soft temper copper tube can be bent easily for offsets and changes in direction.
3. There need be no fear of rust accumu lation on the inside of Revere Copper Water Tube.
4. It is particularly suitable for forced circulation hot water heating systems. The very smooth interior of Revere Copper Water Tube insures high velocities with a minimum of frictional resistance.
Revere Copper Water Tube for Radiant Panel Heating--A practical manual outlining a graphical design pro cedure for Radiant Panel Heating instal lations is now available to Engineers and Architects on request.
To Engineers and Manufacturers of Heating and Air Conditioning Equipment--Revere representatives will gladly assist and cooperate with engineers and suppliers of heating and air conditionmg equipment at ayy time regarding matters involving applications of non-ferrous products.

BADGER "PACKLESS" CORRUGATED EXPANSION JOINTS
Protect equipment; eliminate costly shut-downs; prevent loss of materials flowing through pipe lines. The Badger " Packless" Corrugated type of expansion
joint has been used for many years to
relieve stresses, absorb vibrations between connected equipment, and compensate for changes in pipe liftes due to temperature
differentials.
BACKED BY FIFTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Badger engineers pioneered the cor rugated "packless" joint and brought it
to its present high state of dependability and usefulness. To meet the increasingly
severe conditions in industry, the more recent developments are included in the
following brief descriptions.

Joints can be furnished with either flanged or welding ends.
TELESCOPING SLEEVES. Badger
"Packless" Corrugated Expansion Joints
can be furnished with telescoping sleeves

.
INSTALLATION, OPERATING, MAINTENANCE ECONOMIES
"Packless"--Since this type of ex pansion joint is made from a single tube, no packing is required--hence no servicing. This is particularly advantageous in under ground installations, because the expense of manholes and tunnels can be eliminated.
Flexible--This type of joint is readily flexed, thus reducing to a minimum the thrust on adjacent equipment or fittings.
Wide Range of Traverses--By varying the number of corrugations, the Badger "Packless" Corrugated Expansion Joint can.be made to take care of traverses
ranging from small fractions of an inch up to any practical limit.
Wide Range of Pressures--Standard joints are constructed for normal operating pressures; special joints for higher pres sures.
Compactness--Outside diameter of Badger " Packless" Corrugated Expansion Joint is about that of a flanged fitting.
Ease of Installation--The Badger "Packless" Corrugated Expansion Joint is as easily installed as any fitting.
COPPER AND STAINLESS STEEL.
Badger "Packless" Corrugated Expansion Joints are made in self-equalizing or non
equalizing types; and are made of copper, stainless steel, or other metals to meet
varying conditions with respect to tem perature, pressure and corrosion.
HEAT TREATMENT, Every Badger
"Packless" Corrugated Expansion Joint is scientifically heat-treated during the
process of manufacture to remove forming stresses. This Badger process increases resistance to flexing stresses, lengthening
the life of joint.
DIRECTED FLEXING--SELF-EQUALIZING
This feature, exclusive with Badger not only limited but is progressively con "Packless" Corrugated Expansion Joints, trolled throughout the movement. Flexing greatly lengthens the life of the corrugated ' stresses are kept distributed. type of expansion joint. Through Self equalizing Rings, the flexing movement is

Grinnell Equiflo Valves For Forced Hot Water Heating
Equiflo Valve
The designing of forced circulation hot water heating systems is so simplified by the Grinnell Equiflo Valve that they can be laid out and installed as easily as vapor or steam systems. This valve consists of a regular type packless radiator valve with' a cartridge or tube made up of a series of orifices and baffles capable of setting-up any required frictional resistance. This method of establishing any desired resis tance does away with elaborate calcu lation of pipe sizes. Grinnell'guarantees perfectly balanced circulation to each and every radiator where these valves are installed throughout the system..

TUBING
Saran tubing ac commodates both high and low pres sures, withstands freezing, and is heat resistant up to 170 F. Its unusual
chemical resistance gives it wide use in installations where acids and corrosive chemicals must be handled.
Saran tubing, is readily flared with a special flaring tool, assuring a tight joint in special Saran fittings. Tees, elbows, and straight joints (illustrated) are available in siz es to match tubing (up to in.O. D.).
PIPE
Chemical resist ance makes Saran pipe invaluable for many industrial in stallations. It is on ly % the weight of comparable iron pipe. Available in sizes up to 4 in. O.D.
A complete weld is formed in one minute by placing - on heated welding plate until molten and pressing ends together.
Easily threaded with modified standard equip ment. Flanges, couplings, ells and plugs are available. Further fittings be ing developed.

RELIANCE REGULATOR
Type A
Reliance Type A regulators are designed to give absolute control of low pressures and are used extensively for con trolling pressure to air and gas appliances requiring positive control of operating pressures. . A complete line of Reliance regulators are notable for exacting duty and minimum pressure loss at required capacity, as well as ease of servicing and low cost of upkeep.
Automatic shut-off valves are available for jobs that require a safety feature,-so that when inlet pressures fall too low, the flow of gas through the regulators is stopped.

Balanced-Action Diaphragm
Packless Valves
VALUE OF BALANCED-ACTION
Regardless of operating conditions or the dif ferential in the pressure above and belowthe valve seat, balanced-action assures positive and instantaneous opening. The balancing action is really the equalizing of the pressures on the two sides of the valve seat at the instant of opening. This is ac complished by a channel in the axis of the valve stem. When the valve is closed, the upper port of this channel is sealed by the diaphragm assembly itself. At the instant of opening, the pressure above the seat forces the diaphragm assembly upward, ex posing the upper port of the balancing channel. The pressure is released through the channel to the region below the seat, equalizing the pressures, thus assuring posi tive opening. A spring-tensioned ball check seals the channel for diaphragm inspection.
Other Important Features are: Oval hand
wheel, ports-in-line. non-rotating bearing plate to protect diaphragm from rotating friction of stem, and use of multiple puncture and fracture-proof diaphragms designed to resist wear and corrosion. Available in a complete range of sizes with flare and solder connections.
WING CAP VALVES

ABSO-DRY PRESSURE SEALED DRYERS
For Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
The exclusive Henry vacuum process first removes every trace of moisture, then the dryer is charged with dehydrated air. Loosening a seal cap prior to installation produces hissing sound, a guarantee
of original factory dryness and freedom from leaks.
Other Features of Henry Dryers--
Perforated Dispersion lube is connected to inlet port
and exposes entire volume of dehydrant to penetraa tion by refrigerant. Minimum pressure drop. No
channelling. Compression Spring maintains uniform tension on dehydrant at all times and compensates for changes in volume. Soldered or Flanged Shells-- models are available with either soldered cap or flanged end shells. Flange is distortion-proof. Shells not exceeding 5H in- in length are drawn in dies, so that they have only one joint.

and Air Velocity Meters
The Alnor. Velometer is an instantaneous, direct-reading
air velocity meter designed for convenient, rapid deter
mination of air velocities in air conditioning, heating and
ventilating, and exhaust systems.' It gives instantaneous
direct readings in feet per minute, without timing, calcu
lations, or reference to tables or charts. Low range air
velocity readings are taken by holding the Velometer in the
air stream. High range readings are obtained by the use of
tube connected special jets, available in 17 types providing
for convenient use in any location. Accurate information on
performance of equipment, duct systems, etc., can be obtained
with a few moments inspection with the Velometer. It can
be effectively used to locate drafts and leaks around windows
and doors, or in duct systems.
The Alnor Velometer is built in several standard ranges from 20 fpm to 6000 fpm, and up to 3 in. static or total pressure. Special ranges available as low as 10 fpm and up to 25,000 fpm velocity and 20 in. pressure.
Alnor Electrical Resistance Thermometers, available
in single and multi-point types, are ideally suited to air con
ditioning, heating and refrigeration installations. Ther
mobulbs may be located at any point up to 1000 ft from the
instrument. Indicating thermometers can be furnished with
capacities up to 14 points. Standard types include round,
rectangular, horizontal edgewise, and portable thermometers.
Instruments may be installed in office or engine room and
thermobulbs located at any desired point in the building or
on the roof. Accurate temperature measurements at the
remote locations are obtained merely by moving the selector
switch.
.
Alnor Pyrometers include a wide range of portable and wall mounting types, both single and multi-point instru ments, for a variety of industrial temperature measurements. Temperature readings of molten metals, industrial furnaces, and similar equipment, and temperatures of surfaces, either metallic or non-metallic, moving or stationary, are readily obtained with standard Alnor Pyrometers.

No method for measuring temperatures fits the specific needs of air conditioning as does the three-lead, null-type resistance thermometer method. It is independent of distance and disregards all temperatures except those right at points of measure ment. Thermohms (electrical resistance thermometers) can be placed anywhere-- in rooms, air ducts or water lines. They are connected by simple electrical wiring to instruments at a central location. Instruments maybe: Micromax Recorders, Model S for-up to sixteen Thermohms, Model R, for related pairs such as wet and dry bulb; indicators with switches for any number of Thermohms; or indicating and recording combinations.
Sound in principle, reliable in operation, instruments and Thermohms are highly responsive, yet ruggedly built. A com plete system is economical to install, regardless of distances. It is easy to oper ate; requires little maintenance. ThermoHms and instruments are interchangeable; can be replaced without disturbing wiring or returning anything to the factory.
Facts needed to run a modern heating plant so as to save fuel, protect equipment, and operate efficiently at varying loads are provided reliably by rugged L&N instru ments. Readings can be indicated, re corded, or both. Recorders can be equip ped to operate signals or alarms; in some cases to control automatically. .
Micromax Model S provides a per manent record on one wide-scale chart of conditions at from 1 to 16 points. Micro max Model R concentrates on conditions at one point, provides a permanent record, has a giant indicating dial. A Panel Indicator provides intermittent checks on conditions at one or several points.

The Visaflame is a departure from the usual oil burner control operation. Instead of havi'ng a safety control on the stack, actuated by the heat from combustion, the Visaflame is located within or adjacent to the oil burner where it uses the light of the flame as a means of actuating the control system. This permits a more direct and positive method for pro tection against flame failure, power failure, or low line voltage.
The Visaflame System lends itself to streamline burner design as it can be built into the burner unit by the manufacturer, thereby making it possible to test the complete burner with safety device at the factory which also simplifies and reduces the cost of installation in the field. - ..
MANNER OF OPERATION
The Visaflame, when properly focused,
closes its circuit in the presence of light and
opens its circuit when the light is absent.
The light of the flame passes through bulb "A" and is picked up by the concave reflector
"B" which concentrates the light waves on the small bimetal coil "G." This bimetal
coil is opaque and therefore transmutes the light waves into heat, which causes it to
move the attached electrode "D" into the pool of mercury "E." The electric circuit is
then closed between the fixed electrode "F" and the movable electrode "D." The outer
bimetal coil "H" to which-the movable electrode is attached, compensates for varying,
ambient temperatures.
.
..
The Visaflame is available for Intermittent Ignition or for Constant Ignition oil
burners. Also for manually operated industrial burners. Adaptable to high-low flauie
operation.

This newly designed and optically correct glass tubing assures an ease of reading that has been generally lacking in industrial thermometers.
"BINOC" Tub-, ing more than doubles the an gle of vision within which
readings can be made. Because of the patented Triple-lens construction ' its broad mercury column can be read easily and accurately with both eyes. Bore reflection is absent.
Taylor "BINOC" Pocket Test Thermometer--Ideal for frequent testing of important temperatures. Taylor patented "BINOC" Tubing eliminates juggling and guesswork. High accuracy--Easier.-to Read.
The New Taylor "Fulscope" Recording Controller--An air-operated controller thajt gives practically any character of process control regardless of time lag in apparatus.
Available for controlling temperature,
pressure, humidity, rate of flow, liquid
level. Wfiejre extreme load changes or
' badly balanced
operating condi
tions exist, preci
sion control can
be maintained
by the automatic
reset feature.
For applications
where a record

Taylor Biram's Anemom eter--Ideal for measuring air velocities with the fan revolutions indicated on the dial. Various models for a wide range of air speeds and registration limits.
Taylor Re cording Hy grometer-- Records both wet- and drybulb tempera tures on the same chart in different color ed inks, mak ing comparison , very easy.
Type shown has motordriven fan for conditioned rooms or pass ages where circulation is poor. Furnished without fan for installations where circula tion across bulb is good.
Taylor Sling Psychrometer--The advantage of this form of Wet- and Dry-Bulb Hygrometer over the stationary form is the facility with which tests can be made and the accuracy of the readings obtainable, as the whirling bulbs are sub jected to perfect circulation. Two accurate etched stem thermometers are mounted on a die-cast frame, with the bulb of one covered with a wick to be moistened. These thermometers have scales of 20 to 120 degree F, graduated in ^-deg divisions. A copper case protects the tubes when not in use.
Taylor also offers a complete line of tbe famous Taylor Recording and Dial Thermometers, Self-Acting and Type "P" Controllers, the 10-BG Hygrome ter and many types of Humidiguides.

Many of the advantageous features in corporated in large B&W central-station boilers are now available for the first time in the B&W Integral-Furnace Boiler, Type FF, which is offered in sizes ranging from 1353 to 6506 sq ft heating surface.
Distinguishing features include: A completely water-cooled furnace. The construction provides water cooling for front and rear (or bridge) walls, as well as side walls and roof. A furnace arrangement in which the primary combustion zone is followed by an open pass, thus making use of a principle of combustion that was first developed and used successfully in the B&W Open-Pass Boiler for central stations. This design insures mixing of the gases while at high temperatures, thereby aiding efficient and smokeless combustion. Cyclone Steam Separators, which pro vide dry steam at high boiler-water con centrations independently of normal varia tions in water level, and increase circula tion by eliminating steam from the water. These, with related features, result in a boiler that is outstanding for economy of fuel and maintenance and for ease of operation. Write for Bulletin G-34.

PREFERRED UNIT STEAM GENERATOR
The Modem Packaged Power Plant
The Preferred Unit Steam Generator is a heavy duty, oil-fired, portable, automatic
steam plant with all the equipment neces sary to produce steam--economically.
The guaranteed minimum thermal effi
ciency of.80 per cent is made possible by the
efficient design of the burner and the four pass arrangement of the heat-absorbing
surfaces.
Sizes range from 20 to 500 bhp--for pres sures up to 200 lb psi.
Induced Draft--The Preferred Unit Steam Generator operates with induced or
'`pull through" draft without the need of a stack. Air volume is automatically con trolled to meet the requirements of com
plete combustion. The use of induced draft eliminates the very real danger of
forcing the products of combustion into the boiler room, and contributes to the
long life of refractories which have stood
up remarkably well under the most trying
operating Conditions.
Heavy Oil Types--These units are
made in all sizes, up to and including 500 bhp for use with the Heavier grades of bunk
er oils'--for either fully-automatic or semi
automatic operation. '
Light Oil Types--For use with lighter
oils the Preferred Unit Steam Generator
is made in sizes up to 100 bhp and for pres
sures up to 200 lb psi.
For further details refer to Bulletin
No. 1000.
Unit Steam Generator
. OIL BURNERS
Preferred oil-burners are made in both the horizontal, rotary-cup and the me chanical-atomizing or gun types. Each type is suitable for manual, semi-auto matic or fully-automatic operation.
The rotary-cup burner is suitable for use with either light or heavy oil and has several exclusive features. One important feature is its 4 to 1 throttle control which automatically delivers the correct mixture of oil and air for efficient combustion--at all rates of firing. Oil viscosity is control led by a patented Volumeter. No other method of firing permits such perfect utilization of the source of heat.
Preferred mechanical-atomizing burners are designed to burn light oil only and for use where Diesel or lighter oils are used.
All Preferred burners are supplied with safety devices which prevent firebox flood ing, or damage due to shut-down because of electric power failure or overload, or from foreign matter in the fuel oil.

.
Spencer Jacketed Heater L-l Series
Why Spencer. Heaters perform so satis
factorily can best be explained by an
inspection of their design and construction.
The Spencer principle, illustrated in the
cross-sectional view, is simple:
Once a day fuel (No. 1 Buckwheat
Anthracite or small size by-product coke)
is put into the magazine. It fills the sloping
grate to the level of the magazine mouth.
The fire bed always stays at the proper
level, for as fast as fuel burns to ash, it
shrinks and settles on the sloping grate;
and more fuel rolls down automatically
over the top of the fire bed. Fuel feed is by
gravity alone, in just the right amount to
keep the fire always burning at its most
efficient combustion point.
-
This explains why a Spencer Automatic
Magazine Feed Heater always gives the
same uniform, satisfying heat, and burns
less fuel. These exclusive Spencer ad
vantages are available in all types of the
magazine feed heaters and boilers.
Spencer Heavy Duty Tank Heaters-- With the automatic magazine feed con struction, they provide ample domestic hot water at lowest cost, and with a minimum of tank heater attention.

In the cross-section diagram, part of the fire bed is cut away to show the sloping grates and the two magazines filled with fresh coal, ready' to feed down automatically by gravity to the fire. These boilers are built in two vertical sections for ease in handling and installation--a great ad vantage on replacement jobs, eliminating the necessity of costly tearing out of walls or parti tions. Combination water and fire tube con struction; built to A.S.M.E. standards.

POWERAM STOKERS
Combines ram-type coal dis tributor system in retort with free-running worm conveyor from coal supply, and has these advantages: Delivers the fuel to the fire bed in a loose, easily aerated condition; the recipro cating pusher blocks insure proper fuel distribution, and make possible the successful and efficient burning of many types of coal which otherwise are impractical to fire auto matically with underfeed stokers. Designed for boilers developing up to 400 hp.
As shown in the illustration above, the IRON FIREMAN PNEUMATIC SPREADER STOKER meters steam size coal from hopper or main coal bunker to transfer housing, where coal is picked up by pneumatic conveyor and delivered to furnace. The conveyor nozzle accurately spreads the larger particles of coal over the entire grate in a shallow, uniform fuel bed. The preheated fines burn in sus pension, reducing the cinder carry-over and greatly improving the combustion efficiency and responsiveness, as compared with other stokers which do not preheat fuel. The conveying air provides the over fire air which is essential for efficient com bustion. Entering at right angles to the flow of burning gases from the fuel bed, the conveying air produces maximum turbulence; another requisite of efficient and
smokeless combustion. THE IRON FIRE
MAN PNEUMATIC SPREADER
STOKER was designed to burn efficiently,
such economical fuels as the lower rank
bituminous, and sub-bituminous coals and
also lignite. It provides reliability of
operation, physical adaptability, ease of
operation, and low maintenance which is
not afforded by other types of automatic coal burning systems. Pneumatic Spread er stokers are particularly adaptable to, operation at high ratings, and as a result are greatly stepping up steam output in many plants throughout the United States and Canada. IRON FIREMAN PNEU
MATIC SPREADER STOKERS are
made in both hopper and Coal Flow
models; the latter carry coal direct from
the bunker to the fire.

WECO-N.G.E. SERIES F600 GAS BURNERS
50.000 to 10,000.000 ' Btu Output
For Use in Any Steel Firebox or Sectional Boiler
Series F600 venturi tube is
, _ wide, 10J* long, as shown (at right) and the complete assembly is only 15* high. An infinite number of assemblies are possible by proper arrange ment of the individual tubes. For complete sizing information
see Bulletin F600H.
Improved venturi and greater port area insure much higher capacities at lower pressures.
Unique baffles at the outlet of the mixing tube make possible perfectly even distri bution of flame completely around the baffle brick. As a result the maximum flame length is greatly reduced.
Interchangeable grills with multiple ports
can be varied to suit the combustion char acteristics of various gases. The proper
sizing of these grills prevents any possi bility of flash back.
In addition to the above major improve ments the F600 possesses the same desir able features that made the 600 so popular.
1. Simple installation requiring no ex
pensive insulated combustion chamber and having no furnace radiation loss.
2. Extreme quietness due to low rate of
combustion over a large area.
3. Flexibility from infinite, number of
possible combinations varying both size
and shape to . meet load and firebox con
ditions at various gas pressures.
.
4. High radiant transmission rate due to
radiant temperature of the standard fire
brick baffles on the top of the burner tubes.
5. Low draft loss because of ample
secondary air openings.
6. Plain gas pilots of heat resistant
material and of a design that will not allow
flame to pull off.
7. Safety pilot applied in a cool zone
in a manner that insures perfect direct
ignition of the burner yet allowing the
the thermal element to cool quickly upon
flame failure.
8. Guaranteed vibrationless under all
conditions.

Boiler Cleanser S and 6 lb. Cans
A positively harmless insoluble powder cleaner for new, remodeled and old heating systems. A unique, scientifically processed compound on a special formula not to be confused with other powder boiler cleaners.
What Vinco Boiler Cleanser Does
Vinco removes oil, grease, scale, rust and dirt from the internal surfaces and from the boiler water without the labor, expense, and uncertain results of blowing boilers over the top or of wasting returns.
By this thorough cleaning Vinco prevents or cures foaming, priming, surging, and slow steaming.
/
How Vinco Boiler Cleanser Works
Each minute grain of Vinco powder adsorbs several times its own weight of oil, rust and dirt. These larger grains of adsorbed impuri ties then settle and are drained through the bottom according to directions on each can.
Vinco Guarantees
1. Vinco contains no potash, lye, soda of any kind, oil, acid, or other harmful ingredients.
2. Purchase price is refunded if results are not as claimed when Vinco has been used according to directions.
VINCO RUST PREVENTER
When used after Vinco Boiler Cleanser has removed oil, grease, rust, scale and dirt, it will add and keep the rust inhibiting factors
at the optimal constant for a year or more. (Test kit below has complete instructions and chart.)

The service range and types of in stallations covering most common applications of McDonnell Boiler Water Level Controls are described here. For facts concerning pro tection of process boilers, or any special information, consult our engineering department.
McDonnell Combined Boiler Water Feeder and Low Water Cut-off
McDonnell No. 1,7-8 for healing boilers under 6000 McDonnell No. 6t-S for healing boilers over 6000 sq. ft. capacity. Maximum steam pressure, 5 lbs. sq. ft. capacity. Maximum steam pressure, 85 lbs.
A typical installation of the McDonnell . No. 47-2 Combined Boiler Water .Feeder
and Switch is illustrated above. The water feeder maintains safe level by feeding when water line drops. In case of foaming and priming or failure of water supply, causing water level to drop to in. in the water
flass, low water switch comes into action. or automatically fired boilers switch may be wired to cut current to burner. For hand fired boilers switch may be wired to com plete alarm bell circuit. Also furnished for hand fired boilers without switch--desig
nated No. 47.
Installation time is cut to minimum by QuickHook-Up Fittings for gauge-glass installation. Valve
mechanism is iso lated from the heat of the float chamber. Large area straightthrough blow-off valve is standard equipment.
The McDonnell No. 2 Switch, used in the No. 47-2 is Underwriters' ap proved. Electrical rating: a-c.;*$ hp' 110-220 V.; d-c.. 10 amp. 115 V.
The -illustration above shows a typical in
stallation of the McDonnell No. 51-2 Com
bined Boiler Water Feeder and Switch used
for larger boilers. This combination func
tions the same as the No. 47-2, the feeder
taking care of normal requirements and
the switch safeguardingagainst emergencies
by cutting off the burner in automatically
fired boilers or completing a low water
alarm circuit for hand fired installations.
The feeder is also furnished for hand fired'
boilers (as No. 51) without low water
cut-off and alarm switch.
Basic features of the No. 51-2 are the
same as in the No. 47-2, except that it is
installed with 1 in. equalizing pipe instead
of the McDonnell "Quick-Hook-Up" and
has the larger ,
feeding capacity
required for larger
boilers.
For boiler operating at pressures from 35 lb to 75 lb use the McDonnell No. 53-2 (with switch) or No. 53'(without switch). Electrical rating of switches used in No. 51-2 or 53-2 is the same as previously given for the No. 47-2.

The No. 67 takes care of low water cut-off requirements of automatically fired boilers with steam pressure below 25 lbs. It has the McDonnell "Quick-Hook-Up" for quick, easy and trouble-proof installation in the
gauge glass tappings; deep sediment chamber with large quick opening blow-off; packless, non-binding construction; adjust able terminal box to make wiring neat and easy; dependable, snap-action, twin switches.
One switch closes on small drop without stopping burner. It can be used to complete an alarm bell circuit, warning of ap proaching low water, or can be used to complete circuit to the . McDonnell No. 101 Electric Water described below. Second switch cuts current to burner if water level drops to M inch in gauge glass.
Underwriters' ratings for both switches: a-c.. % hp. 110-220 V.; d-c H hp. 115-230 V.
McDonnell No. 101 Electric Boiler Water Feeders for boilers up to 5000 sq. ft. capacity
The No. 101 is an electric water feeder for use with No. 67 Low Water Cut-off or with McDonnell "built-in" Low Water Cut-offs which are standard equipment on many modem heating boilers. It converts the cut-off into a combination boiler water feeder and low water cut-off as described on the opposite page.
McDonnell No. 150 Pump Control, Low Water Cut-off
and Alarm Switch for boilers of any size. Maximum steam pressure, 150 lb
This boiler water level control may be used as a pump control, a low water cut-off, a low water alarm
been restored. . If emergency occurs and water level falls to arrow mark on body of control, cut-off switch stops burner. If steam pump is used, No. 150 is wired to
switch, or, any
combination
of these func
tions. Elec

THE DUNHAM DIFFERENTIAL VACUUM HEATING SYSTEM
Fully Automatic The system is a simple two-pipe system in which all the essentials of circulation, distribution and control are co-ordinated.

tight screwed joints which are further reinforced, locked and sealed by sweating with
solder. The valve is flat and is attached to the disc by a ball swivel joint to insure its
seating squarely and tightly. Valve opening is exceptionally large and the passage of
water or dirt out of-the trap is not obstructed by a guide as none is necessary with, the

DUNHAM RADIATOR VALVES
"ORIFLEX" PACKLESS RADIATOR VALVE
Type 175 Oriflex self-contained adjustable orifice valve
combines the conveniences of both lever and wheel handle
valves. Oriflex has a unique "handle movement" which
eliminates graduated opening or closing. It need only be
turned "on" or "off." The adjustable orifice within the
valve, not the postion of the handle, controls the steam
flov/. Oriflex eliminates the time consuming operations of
disconnecting and re-connecting {he valve in order to
balance a system. Merely remove the handle, insert the
key on the adjustment stem thus made accessible, adjust

the orifice (calibrated guide surrounds stem) to the exact
setting needed for perfect balance. Instead of being limited to orifices calibrated in steps
of five square feet, Oriflex provides for adjustments in increments of one square foot.

Thermoflex Specialties
The heart of all Thermoflex Traps is the Hydron Bellows.
The Hydron Bellows is formed under hydraulic pressure. This powerful internal pressure locates any weakness of any nature in the tubing. Such hydraulic pres sure is many times more severe than any pressure the Trap will ever be called upon to control. Every Thermoflex Trap, there fore, is practically indestructible.
Thermoflex Traps have an exceptionally large orifice. This large orifice combined with high lift, insures fast action and freedom from clogging.-

HOFFMAN HOT WATER CONTROLLED HEATING
For PANEL or RADIATOR SYSTEM
y
The Hoffman method vastly improves the ordinary forced hot water system by the application of Continuous Circulation. This method accomplishes 4 major improve ments. 1. Avoids intermittent bursts of heat to the radiators and panels. 2. Maintains radiator and panel temperature to exactly offset the heat loss thereby eliminating "cold 70." 3. Conserves fuel by positively preventing overheating. 4. Prevents creeping noises from pipes because temperature change is so gradual. .
' The diagram illustrates the general operation. The circulator (C) is running continuously, circulating the water
' through the by-pass from return back through the supply line. The water in
boiler is kept at a predetermined tem perature based on the Radiator Emis sion rate for which the system is designed. When heat is required the Temperature Controller or Thermostat (depending upon type of Hoffman system used) causes the control valve (V) to open, allowing the return water to pass through the boiler and the hotter boiler water mixes with water
passing through the Hoffman orifice, in the by-pass line from the return, to raise the temperature of water entering the supply line. When the heat demand has been satis fied the control valve (V) closes and normal circulation through the by-pass pipe con tinues. The mixing of the water, already somewhat cooled from continuous circulation, with the high temperature boiler water eliminates the "slugs" of extremely hot water so common with forced hot water systems. There is positively no overheating and the temperature is raised so gradually that a comfortable heat- is always available \yith ap parently no change in the heating system.
The two types of Hoff
man Hot Water- Con
trolled Heat differ only
in the manner of control.
The Circulator, Control
Valve and Union Orifice
are furnished with both
systems.
`
1. Outdoor Thermal Control System--This System is controlled by means of the Hoffman Patented Temperature Controller illustrated above. Capillary tubing is connected to a temperature bulb located on the exterior of the building and another capillary tubing connected to a temperature bulb lo cated in the supply line of the System. Variations in temper atures of the outdoor weather and the circulating water are immediately transmitted through this Controller to the Control Valve. This System very completely controls the supplying of the exact amount of heat necessary to offset the actual heat loss. Made in nine regular pipe sizes from 1 in. to 6 in. with a maximum capacity of 4,460,000 Btu.
2. Indoor Thermostat Control System--Thermostat, located in that
part of the building which is to determine the heat requirements for the entire
System, operates the Control Valve through the Control Panel illustrated be
low. This allows the circulating water temperature to be increased according
to the demand of the thermostat and will
supply the heat required uniformly and
gradually. This System is naturally less
expensive than the Outdoor Con
trol type. Available in 1 in.,
in. and
in. sizes with a max
imum capacity of 275,000 Btu.

Armstrong offers two types of traps for
heating, air conditioning, and steam distri bution service.
Standard Inverted Bucket Traps, the
type originated by Armstrong, are non* airbinding and self-scrubbing. They are used for low, medium, and high pressure service where relatively little air must be handled along with the condensate. Their free-floating lever design makes it possible to open very large discharge orifices com pared with the size of the trap itself.
Armstrong Blast Traps are used where large amounts of air must be vented quick
ly when steam is first turned on. They
have several advantages over the conven
tional float and thermostatic trap.
1. The Armstrong Blast Trap has but a
single orifice to be maintained tight against
the full pressure differential.
^ 2. Positive action. The discharge valve
in an Armstrong Blast Trap is either wide
open or tight shut. Fast opening and fast
closing prevent wire-drawing.
3. Handles dirt. There are no dead
spots in an Armstrong Trap in which dirt
can settle and interfere with the operation
of the trap.

Chrome Lock gasketing was especially, developed for use in U. S. Naval Vessels.
Ever since 1942, this type of gasketing has withstood the terrific vibrations of all types
of ships in action, due to its tremendous cushioning effect. Chrome Lock, this new type of gasketing of felt base, is impregnated.with a chromate
pigmented compound which renders it flame and corrosion-resistant. Chrome Lock
holds up under pressure of 500 lb or more per square inch and is compressible to take
up uneveness in flanges and seams. It is not affected by fuels and will retain its pliability under locked-in pressure. Chrome Lock is now offered for industrial uses.

YARWAY IMPULSE STEAM TRAPS
Construction:--The Yarway Impulse Steam Trap is unique in that there is only one moving part, the simple valve F. This trap is made of bar stock throughout, no castings used. For pressures up to 400 lb, body and .bonnet of cold rolled steel, cadmium plated; cap of tobin bronze, valve and seat of heat treated stainless steel. For pressures 400 to 600 lb, trap is all
stainless steel.
Operation--Movement of valve (F) is
governed by changes in pressure in control chamber (K). At lower temperatures, con densate- bypassing, continuously through
orifice in center of valve reduces chamber pressure below inlet pressure and valve opens, allowing free discharge of air and condensate through seat. As condensate approaches steam temperature, low cham ber pressure causes vaporizing and the increased volume builds up pressure in control chamber, closing valve (F).

Vent-Rite Air and Vacuum'Venting Valves for Radiators Vent-Rite No. 66 Control Valves Vent-Rite Unit Heater Valves
For Profitable, Efficient Venting Valve Installations .,. Specify Vent-Rite
The elimination of valve trouble caused by unavoidable accumulation of dirt can immediately be effected by use of Vent-Rite Air and Vacuum Venting Valves. Every VentRite Valve can be quickly and easily taken apart, cleaned, reassembled and adjusted, and restored to its original working condition.
In rare cases where a part may have become damaged, the valve may be sent to the factory for complete recon ditioning. Only Vent-Rite Valves offer these advantages. ; It is easy to obtain the correct venting rate in each radiator in a system, regardless of size or location, because every Vent-Rite Valve has an exceptionally wide and complete range of venting rates. Adjustment of the vent ing rate at the individual valves is easily accomplished through a streamlined, convenient adjusting device. You can be sure of Balanced Radiation ... of even, uniform dis tribution of heat. .
Vent-Rite Air and Vacuum -Valves are built for both oneand two-pipe systems in a wide range of types, sizes, out lets, and venting capacities. (The Vent-Rite Line in cludes Non-Vacuum Valves Nos. I, 51, 3, 5A & 55, and Vacuum Valves Nos. 2, 62, 4, 6A & 66.)
No.2
THE VENT-VAC SYSTEM Even temperatures are
provided with the Vent-Vac System by continuing the distribution of steam between firing periods. The.steam is available through the use of heat left in the boiler and is distributed to the points where heat loss is greatest. To
insure fast, uniform distribution of steam during the firing periods, it breaks the vacuum used between firing periods. This; breaking of the vacuum occurs at a predetermined point, within the limits of the control, before the start of every firing cycle, provided the heat transfer from boiler to radiation has J>ecn completed. Vent-Rite Vacuum Valves are used in conjunction with a Vent-Rite Control Unit; The system is simple, economical, and amazingly effective. Vent-Rite Control Units not only create vacuum
in the system between firing periods, but also limit the amount of vacuum that can be created to the point beyond which the distribution of excessively expanded vapor would be inefficient.

Valve No. 66 is the heart of the Vent-Vac System of steam

"Permanent" Protection is Import ant--Therm-O-Tile has been on the mar ket over a dozen years. Its design is well known to all leading heating and ventilat ing engineers but we would again like to point to the great importance of "Perma nent protection."
In previous issues of this book we stated that Therm-O-Tile is "A complete conduit system for the permanent support, pro tection, and insulation of underground mains for steam distribution."
Beware "Temporary" Protection
We consistently em phasize the word "per manent." It is easy to provide "temporary" protection and insula tion for. underground pipe lines. Threads and joints don't fail immediately, and foun dations don't sag im mediately, but unless the job is properly done it won't be long before water seeps in and.ruins the insulatiorr." With wet and spoiled insula tion, efficiency drops drastically. And, unless the conduit is built on a solid foundation there will be sagging and col lection of water in pockets. Be sure of a "permanent" job.
Therm-O-Tile Drainage System-- In the Therm-O-Tile concrete base there is a ' drainage channel--clearly visible in this photo--which carries off all water that may enter the conduit from any source, thereby keeping the insulation permanently dry. Drainage is entirely internal. The channel is accurately and permanently sloped so that condensate or other pockets cannot form. Open to thorough inspection at any time at manholes. Amply large to keep the pipe space dry at all times.
"Spread Footing" Foundation--So that there will be no settling or sagging
the Therm-O-Tile "Spread Footing" foun dation base is a thick concrete slab poured directly in the trench bottom as shown in the photograph. It is steel reinforced or placed on driven piles when installed over filled or boggy ground--constructions that are necessary for permanent protection.
See Previous Issues--In issues of this Guide previous to 1944 we gave details regarding the Tile Envelope which pro duces 27 different conduit cross sections. We told about the ideal accessibility of this conduit, its great strength, how it is water-proofed, and how the insulation is applied. For complete information ask for a copy of Bulletin 381.
Competitive in Cost--Despite the high efficiency, greater strength, dependability, and other outstanding features that are obtained -in Therm-O-Tile, it is neverthe less competitive in total first cost. Final
cost is much less, thanks to its permanence. Thorough investigation is invited.
We Co-operate--Our engineers have had unusual and broad experience in the design and installation of steam conveying equipment for an exceptional range of purposes. They will gladly cooperate with you in the solution of your own individual problems of this nature. ..

AMERICAN GLASS BLOCK SKYLIGHTS
a--the. AMERICAN Way!
American 3-Way Rooflights make use of Glass Blocks of special design and strength, manufactured by the proven process, incorporating four way design lenses on inner surfaces of plates, also resulting in uniform even light distribution over wide areas, leaving top and bottom surfaces smooth for easy cleaning.
Glass Blocks are 9 in. x 9 in. x 2^ in. and spaced approximately 10^f in. on centers.
Low Heat Transfer
Tests conducted by methods suggested by the A.S.H.V.E. Code show that Glass Block Rooflights have about two and onehalf times the insulating value of sheet metal skylights with no heat losses by "escape," since the construction is air tight.
Solar Heat Transmission
Reduction in total solar heat gain as compared with ordinary windows is in dicated by relative values given in Table 10 and Table 12 in Chapter 15.

cooled rooms.
.
.
Reduces size of Refrigeration instal

on sun-exposed glazed areas is equal to
approximately one ton of equipment.) Cuts equipment operating costs.
Because KOOLSHADE needs no ad justing it works most efficiently during peak solar loads. (See table on opposite page.)
KOOLSHADE can be adapted
to any type window
No matter what your particular prob- . lem, authorized KOOLSHADE distribu tors have the answer. Remember that KOOLSHADE also gives insect protection as an added feature.

THERMOPANE
Insulating Glass
L-O-F Thermopane is a transparent factory-fabricated insulating glass unit
composed of two or more panes of glass
separated by in. or 3^ in. of dehydrated captive air, hermetically sealed at the edges
in the factory with a metal-to-glass bond.
Thermopane is Fabricated to ordered
sizes at Libbey-Owens-Ford's factory. The glass, before being assembled into Ther
mopane units, is specially cleaned before
the patented Bondermetic seal is applied. The layer of air inside the Thermopane
units is scientifically cleaned, dried and
hermetically sealed. The patented, metalto-glass seal bonds the two or more panes
of glass into one unit to prevent dirt and moisture from entering the air space. -
Thermopane Reduces the coefficient of heat transmission; increases the room-
side surface temperature, thus promoting
radiant comfort and lowering the dew
point; furnishes a control of light quantity and quality through combinations of
various types of glass, and deadens sound transmission to some degree.
* Double-glass Thermopane: Glazing
of wood or metal windows or doors for practically any purpose in structures re quiring heating or air conditioning.
Triple-glass Thermopane: Large
stationary units such as insulated glass walls in homes, apartments, public and
commercial buildings and in show windows
for refrigerated display where temperature
differential must be considered. Quadruple-glass Thermopahe: Engi
neered to meet low temperature and high humidity conditions.
Thermopane Uses are many, but may be briefly summarized as below:
Thermopane Units provide a high
resistance to heat flow, varying with the number of panes and the thickness of the
air space used. In summer the low heat
transmission coefficient reduces the load on air conditioning systems. In winter it
saves heat. The greater efficiency of
Thermopane makes it possible to incor porate larger windows in houses and keep
the cost of fuel constant. For example, a house could have 107 sq ft of Thermopane
instead of 35 sq ft of single glazing and not
lose any more heat. Thermopane permits
the influx of solar heat in exterior glazing of buildings without a prohibitive com
pensating loss from conduction. The over-all heat transmission coef
ficient U varies with the ranges of tem
perature at which the coefficient is deter
mined. For most practical heat loss
calculations coefficient U can be the value'
determined at 0 deg outside temperature,
70 deg inside temperature, 51 mph outside
air velocity, 0.25 mph average ^nside air
velocity. The following table gives such
values:

Note: U for single in. thick glass ** 1.14, i?=0.88. U for single ) in. thick glass = 1.07, 72 = 0.94.
The Room Side Surface Tempera
ture of Thermopane is considerably higher
than that of single glazing. Usually
radiators or registers are near glass areas
in buildings to offset conducted heat loss
from a room and radiant loss from the
bodies of persons near cold glass' areas.
The higher glass surface temperature of
Thermopane greatly reduces the amount
of heat which must be supplied, permitting
more flexibility in room design.
-
Another Important Benefit from
Thermopane is. the prevention of frost or
condensation from forming on the room-
side surface of a single pane of glass in
winter due to higher room humidity. The
absence of condensation on the room-side
surface of glass is of considerable impor
tance where clear visibility is a factor as in
residences, all types of commercial or
industrial buildings and refrigerated dis
play spaces.
More Complete Information on
Thermopane is available by writing . to
Libbey-Owens-Ford, or its district office
nearest to you, and requesting technical
data sheets prepared by Don Graf, a
general booklet about the product, and a
brochure which discusses Solar Housing.

Insulux Glass Block Give Better
Control of Interior Conditions
Insulux Glass Block are hollow, partially evacuated units, 3% in. thick. Faces are smooth or ribbed. Solid panels of these block, laid in mortar, make a light-trans mitting wall of high insulating value. Their proper use aids control of interior conditions to a point where initial and operating cost of heating or cooling equip ment is reduced.
. Conductivity
The U factor for ribbed glass block is
0.46; smooth face, 0.49. For design pur
poses, these, factors may be used as con
stant for either 6 in., 8 in. or 12 in. block.
See Chapter 6 of this volume foradditional
data.
`.
This U factor is only 43 per cent of that of
ordinary light-transmitting materials. The
reason lies in the two heavy glass surfaces
separated by partially-evacuated ar.d her
metically sealed dead air space.
Surface Condensation
Because of the low overall air-to-air heat transfer, the room condensation point of a glass block panel is much lower than that of ordinary windows. This will permit higher humidities for both comfort air conditioning and in industries where high humidity is part of the process. Glass block are not subject to deterioration caused by moisture.
Infiltration
Insulux Glass Block are sealed in the building. They form a barrier against infiltration of dust, air and vapor. Winter drafts and summer vapor leakage are cut. Natural ventilation requirements can be met by installation of windows either inset in the panels or installed directly below the panels.
Solar Heat Gain
A comparative test showed 94 per cent
more solar heat through steel sash than
through glass block. However, as with
sash, glass block transmit less solar heat
when properly oriented and shaded. Data
in Table 12, Chapter 15 of this Guide are
for standard block. Other designs, such as
the No-glare and Directional block afford
further reduction. Data will be sent on
request.

Design, Sizes, Erection
Insulux Glass Block is made in 10 face patterns for residential or industrial uses. Sizes are:*5^ in. x 5% nM 7% in. x 7% in. and 11% in. x 11^ in. All are 3 % in. thick. Blocks are erected by laying in mortar like any masonry material. Complete technical data, des

|n I Glass Blocks allow the economical
I"Cl use of large glass areas, reduce heat loss in cold weather and materially
aid air-conditioning. This is because each
PC Glass Block contains a sealed-in dead-
air space that -is an effective retardant to heat transfer.
Thermal Insulation
Tests run by nationally recognized labora
tories have established the value of glass blocks for insulation of light-transmitting areas. These tests have proved that with glass block panels, heat loss is slightly less than half that experienced with singleglazed windows. In computing heat losses through panels for most design purposes,
it is recommended that a " U" value of 0.46 to 0.49 be used for-all block sizes and face patterns. For complete data on heat transfer values .see the section on heat transfer elsewhere in this Guide--page 138.
Surface Condensation
Due to high insulating value, condensation
will not start forming on the room side of
glass block panels until outside air has
reached a temperature much lower than
that necessary to produce condensation on
single-glazed windows. The accompanying
chart shows at what temperatures con
densation will form.
door temperature of --14 deg is reached. Under similar conditions with single-glazed sash, moisture will begin to form when the outdoor temperature reaches +33F.
Solar Heat Gain
The use of glass blocks for light-trans mitting areas results in a marked reduction in total solar heat gain as compared with ordinary windows. This factor is of con siderable advantage in buildings that are properly air-conditioned, but does not eliminate the need for adequate ventilation or shading in non-air-conditioned rooms.
For data on solar heat gain through glass blocks see table 12 in the solar radiation section of this Guide--chapter 15. This table is for standard pattern glass blocks.
PC Glass Blocks Aid Air-Conditioning
The three chief aims of air-conditioning-- temperature control, humidity control and cleansing of air are all aided by the use of PC Glass Blocks. Heat loss is less in winter--heat gain is less in summer. Ideal 'humidity conditions are much more easily . maintained without undue condensation. Solar heat transmission and radiation are reduced. Dirt can't filter in, for each panel is a tightly sealed unit.

STEEL INSULATION
Ferro-Therm Steel Insulation, made from rigid steel sheets with a special alloy coating, reflects 95 per cent of all radiated heat. This high reflectivity, combined with extremely Tow heat storage capacity, provides maximum insulating efficiency m a minimum overall thickness. - . -
Saves Pay Space and Weight
In building construction, the: general practice is to install one sheet of Ferro-. Therm between roof rafters or over ceiling joists and between studs of exterior walls. In cold storage construction, the number of sheets of Ferro-Therm depends on the temperature to be maintained and the U value required. The k value of Fern> Therm, based on tests, is listed in the Data Book of the American Society of Refriger ating Engineers as0.22fl-Btu per (hr) (sq ft) (F temperature difference). Laboratory tests and thousands of applications have demonstrated that a wall of Ferro-Therm will, provide insulating efficiency- equiva lent to a wall of mass insulation approxi mately twice as thick.
Assures Rapid Pull Down
of Temperature
The low heat 'storage capacity of FerroTherm is extremely important in achieving rapid pull down of temperature, and in saving refrigeration costs for the initial and each subsequent cooling of space. Specifically, the heat storage capacity of a single sheet of No. 38 gauge is 0.029 Btu per (hr) (sq ft) (F temperature difference).
This is approximately
of the heat
storage capacity of 1 sq ft of 1 in. thickness
corkboard.
Permanent, Fire-proof
Insulation
.
Ferro-Therm construction eliminates trap
ping of moisture condensate, with sub
sequent deterioration of the construction.
As it is all-metal, Ferro-Therm cannot be
penetrated by rodents, vermin or termites,
and is absolutely non-combustible. The
value of Ferro-Therm for fire protection
is apparent.

Ferro-Therm has proved its superiority in buildings, cold storage roofils, refrigerated cabinets, locker rooms, dry ice; containers, refrigerated railway car construction, ovens, high-temperature storage tanks--in fact, practically every type of'application where high insulating efficiency with economies in space and weight are a requisite. The most notable demonstra tion of Ferro-Therm performance has been its selection for the insulation of altitude chambers for the testing of Army and Navy aviation equipment and personnel. In these chambers, temperatures as low as --125 F were maintained, with a tem perature drop of +70 F to --100 F in 10 to 12 min.

INSULITE
General Offices 500 Baker Arcade Bldg., Minneapolis 2, Minnesota
THIRTY-TWO YEARS PROVEN DURABILITY
For 32 years engineers and architects have specified Insulite materials for structural uses, interior finish, low temperature duct lining, and for other thermal insulation and sound control work. Insulite materials have proved themselves practical through their
performance on the job.
STRUCTURAL MATERIALS
Lok-Joint Lath--An insulating plaster base, fabricated from Ins-Lite or from Graylite. Patented "Lok" firmly locks the sheets between supporting members. Thickness: H in. Size: 18 x 48 in.
Sealed Graylite Lok-Joint Lath--An
insulating plaster base of Graylite, sealed on stud space side with an effective moist ure vapor barrier. Has patented "Lok" on long edges. Same thickness and size as Ins-Lite and Graylite Lok-Joint Lath.
Bildrite Sheathing is an asphalt-con
taining wood fiber insulating board manu factured under an exclusive process which provides increased strength and moisture resistance. It is % in. thick and has a gray-brown color. Thermal conductivity maximum: 0.36 Btu per inch thickness. Each sheet is marked to indicate proper nail spacing. Available in sizes 4 x 8 ft up
to 4 x 12 ft with all edges square. Also available in 2 x 8 ft size with interlocking joint on long edges. Used as a structural sheathing board and as roof boarding.
Condensation Control--Where low
outside temperatures and high inside humidities may occur, authorities recom mend "sealing the warm side and venting
the cold side" of the wall to prevent con densation. An adequate vapor barrier, Sealed Graylite Lok-Joint Lath, should be used on the warm (room) side of the wall thereby effectively reducing vapor trans-
mission into the stud space. Bildrite Sheathing is designed to allow any surplus vapor1 in the stud space to "breathe" or be vented to the exterior air. If vapor is trapped within the stud space and cannot escape through the sheathing, destructive condensation may occur.
THE APPROVED INSULITE WALL OF PROTECTION
This construction consists of Bildrite Sheathing on the exterior of the frame work and Sealed Graylite Lok-joint Lath on the interior. Trans mission coefficient (U> is shown below.

sulation is a light, fluffy mineral wool, highly efficient in heat-proofing practically
any building, old or new. It is durable,
rot-proof, fire-proof and odorless, and will not corrode or settle. Full stud thickness of this material will cut fuel costs up to
30 pier cent in winter and help keep rooms
up to 15 deg cooler in hottest weather. J-M RockWool Home Insulation is., fur
nished in two forms: for new construction,
completely the space between studs, joists
and .rafters on the usual 16 in. centers.
The sturdy felted "wool" is strong enough
to be handled rapidly without damage.
The batts are backed with waterproof,
vapor-resistant paper, extending on both
the long sides in in. wide flanges, by
which the batt is fastened in place and
which also aid in sealing the joints. This
backing protects against penetration of
moisture from wet plaster and also resists
infiltration of moisture vapor from the
house into the wall.
-
As a further protection against moisture,
the felted wool is also waterproofed.
Super-Felt may also be obtained in
blanket form, in Thick, Medium and 1 in.
thicknesses. The-blankets have a water
proof vapor barrier paper on one side and
a permeable kraft paper on the opposite

THERMALLY EFFICIENT!
KIMSUL* blanket insulation in an attic will usually make a house up to 15 degrees cooler in summer, comfortably warm in winter. Fuel cost is often cut 30 per cent by KIMSUL. Thermal efficiency: 0.27 Btu/hf/sq ft/deg F/in. (J. C. Peebles, Armour Institute).*
RESISTS FIRE, MOISTURE,
VERMIN, INSECTS, FUNGUS!
PERMANENT!
Strong stitching prevents shifting, sagging, settling--Hence, no transoms through which-heat can leak. Made of wood-fiber, impregnated with asphalt, KIMSUL lasts indefinitely.
ECONOMICAL!
Because it is compact (stretches to 5 times packaged length), KIMSUL is less expensive to store, ship, handle. Installation cost is small also, because it is ex ceptionally easy to apply . . can be shaped swiftly around obsta cles, as it is flexible as a towel.
3 THICKNESSES--4 STANDARD
WIDTHS!
KIMSUL blanket comes in Commercial Thick (nominally ^2 in.), Standard Thick (nominally 1 in.) and Double Thick (nominally 2 in.) . . . giving you choice of thicknesses to fit specific needs. Each thickness is available in four standard widths: 16 in., 20 it)., 24 in., and 48 in.

Calculations apply to a one-story home in the Chicago area. As shown in the table, almost any desired performance can be produced by insulating with KIMSUL. The economic thickness provides the best balance between insulation costs and resultant fuel savings.
Tocut the compressed KIMSUL blanket tolength required, simply count off trade marks--placed approximately 24 in. apart when
blanket is expanded--allow about 6 in. for end fastening, and cut.
To install KIMSUL in walls, partially expand blanket and attach to under-side of top plate with fiber strip provided. Ex pand blanket to base of wall and attach similarly. Then staple KIMSUL to sides of studs.
1260
Ordinarily a difficult job, in sulation of sloping roofs is usually a one man job with
KIMSUL. Simply fasten blank et to sides of rafters and collar
beams.
KIMSUL installs easily in fiat roofs and ceilings. After cutting blanket to proper length, expand it and fasten one end to top wall plate. Pull across, and fasten other end to opposite wall plate. Fasten edges if there is no sup porting finishing material.
To install KIMSUL in attic floor, place blanket directly on plaster base, with paper side down. Fasten one end. expand blanket, and fasten other end. That's all!

REYNOLDS METALLATION
REFLECTIVE ALUMINUM FOIL
Reynolds Metallation is produced by mounting bright aluminum foil to one or both sides of 80-lb tough Kraft paper--or on. heavy Sisalkraft when greater tensile strength is desired.
Reynolds Metallation serves as a per manently efficient vapor barrier and reflector of radiant heat. It appreciably reduces heat loss in air-filled areas it faces or divides. It has extremely low heatstorage capacity.
Reynolds Metallation is soundproof,
vermin and water proof; dust will not impair its insulating value.
The aluminum surface of Reynolds Metallation retains its reflectivity in
definitely under all normal conditions.
Recent tests by Prof. Gordon B. Wilkes, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
proved that Reynolds Metallation suffers only negligible loss of its reflective in
sulating quality after years of exposure.
Table below gives values for the rate of moisture transmission through the.more
common building materials encountered.
The values given are expressed in terms of Btu/Hr/100 sq ft/Grains per lb dif ference.
Moisture Transmission Values
Latent Heat
Btu/Hr/IOOSq Ft/Gr/Lb Difference
' HOW IT INSULATES
Heat is transferred by radiation, con
vection and conduction. Up to 85 per cent
of all heat-transmitted through air spaces
is by radiation. Reynolds Metallation
reflects 95 per cent of the radiant heat
imposed upon it without regard to direc
tion of heat flow. This high reflectivity
and resultant low emissivity permits the
passage of not more than 5 per cent of
radiant heat into adjoining air spaces.
The above is accomplished through use of
Reynolds Metallation, installed to divide
the normal space in a hollow wall into two
separate reflective air spaces.
(
CHARACTERISTICS
Reynolds Metallation is so light in weight it places no strain on structural members to which it is affixed. It is flexible yet sufficiently rigid to conform to angles or curves in a structure when not under tension.

Ruberoid Calsilite
Calsilite is a molded insulation that provides the physical characteristics re quired by engineers designing modern high
pressure steam equipment. It is a com bination of raw materials, ingeniously con trolled, to form a product free from active, harmful ingredients. It is not only unique
in its extremely light weight for such material, but it will stand soaking heat of 1250 degrees Fahrenheit indefinitely without changing its usefulness to any appreciable degree. This permits its use on pipe lines and equipment operating at high temperature without the usual pror tective inner layer of less efficient insula tion. The use of single layer insulation also speeds up its application.
Calsilite is highly efficient in heat saving; it has a high modulus of rupture; it resists abrasion excellently. There is little breakage of Calsilite in shipment or when handled on the job. It has low moisture absorption when subject to high humidity atmospheres.
Calsilite is furnished in both pipe covering and block form. Pipe Covering is made in sections 36 in. long, canvas covered and in such thicknesses that com binations of layers can provide whatever thickness may be required to cope with
the conditions. Blocks are made in standard sizes of 6 in. x 36 in. in thickness up to 3}4 in.' All are packed in cartons suitable for easy handling on the job. .
Imperial Pipe Covering
This is a laminated asbestos paper insulation that has been indented to use 22 laminations of asbestos paper per inch thickness. Its efficiency makes it satisfactory for most medium pressure steam work in industrial plants. Its construction makes it ideal for vibrating conditions. It is recommended for temperatures to 600 F. Being an asbestos felt laminated material it is used on vibrating pipes or where hard service is expected. Will withstand water conditions for underground piping. Excellent as an industrial, oil refinery and synthetic rubber plant insulation.

ties back into high gear on civilian output. With an immediate flush demand for about a half million domestic burners and oilfired heating units, 1946 can be expected to reach new sales peaks. Approximately 200 oilburner manufacturers are now in production. Before the war ten of these were supplying about half of the industry's total output, and when reconversion' is completed these companies will probably again sell that share of the total.
The industry installed 145,596 domestic oilburners and oilfired units in 1945, more than half of these in fall months after the war's close. Of these, 58% replaced hand fired coal, 30% replaced old oilburners, 4% went to new homes, 7% replaced coal stokers and 1% replaced gas heating.

This is the publication which carries the Journal of the A.S.H.V.E. in addition to its own regular editorial section. Its field is that of industry and large buildings. It is devoted to the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of heating, piping and air conditioning systems in such plants and buildings.
Each January issue includes a complete directory of commercial and industrial heating, piping, and air conditioning equipment, which lists all products, their trade names, and the manufacturers* addresses. It is the established buying and specifying guide of the industry.
H. P. & A. C. is read by consulting engineers and architects . . . contractors . . . and engineers in charge of heating, piping and air conditioning in industrial plants, and other large buildings, federal, state, and city governments, school boards, and public utilities. All A.S.H.V.E. members are subscribers.
Such coverage means, for the advertiser, considera tion at all points in the selling of a heating, piping, or air conditioning product... consideration in its selection during the preparation of plans and specifications; in its actual purchase for installation; in its year-'round buying for operating and main tenance requirements.

AMERICAN ARTISAN covers the field of warm air
heating, residential air conditioning, and sheet metal
contracting. Its readers are warm air heating and sheet metal contractors, dealers, jobbers, manufacturers, and
public utility companies.
Each January issue includes a complete directory of warm air heating, air conditioning, and sheet metal
products and equipment, which lists all products, their
trade names, and the manufacturers* addresses. A special section of each issue has been devoted to
air conditioning since 1932, when it first became
apparent that air conditioning for homes was to be along the lines of the central forced warm air heating system.
As a result of the ready adaptability of this type of
heating system to all air conditioning factors, tens of
thousands of homes today have winter air conditioning
--supplied through forced warm air heating with air
cleaning and humidification. Cooling apparatus can be
attached to these systems readily whenever year-'round
air conditioning is desired.
.
The key man in the residential air conditioning picture is the warm air heating and
sheet metal contractor--the one man experienced in ``treating air" at a central place and getting it properly distributed. And the key publication--because it reaches these key men with an information service that has made it the recognized authority on residential air conditioning practice--is AMERICAN ARTISAN. For full information on this field, write for a copy of "The Residential Heating Market."

ENGINEERS OF HUMAN COMFORT
. The Heating, Ventilating .and Air Conditioning Engineer through his work and
- research brings to our homes, our offices and our factories', in both summer and winter,
that climate best suited to our comfort and health, and he creates for our industries-
those atmospheric conditions which improve quality of product and speed production.
- He is truly an Engineer of Human Comfort and a public benefactor. '..
\ ... It was in 1894 that a small group of nationally known engineers, educators, and
manufacturers organized the A'S.H.V.E. for, the express purpose of improving.the Art
through the interchange of ideas and stimulation of scientific research and invention.,
In 1894, it was agreed that the great art of heating and ventilating, deserved and
required recognition as an essential, distinctive and highly specialized division of modern
,, engineering. These, men realized the basic importance' of heating and ventilating as
the.'primary element in the well-being of civilized mankind, living and working mostly -
,, ipdoors. ] . .
.
'. ' -
'
" These,keen, alert, progressive men knew that the methods and equipment of their-,
day could be improved even beyond their own vision if all the personalities striving for
such improvement could be welded into one organized cooperative group, imbued with
* the same ideals arid'set toward the same goal. So they formed themselves into the'
-nucleus of such an organization and called.it The American Society of Heating and
..VeNTILATINGiEnGINEERS. .
-.
/
\
. That the Charter Members had great faith in their enterprise is evident,: although.
little did they dream that progress would be so rapid in their profession.
' .
;* During ` the intervening years since that little group of 75 pioneers unfurled.-the;
: banner of . The American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers--4506 of-the real leaders of thought and action in heating, ventilating,'and air conditioning .
have gathered about that standard and carried its proudly before them far along the
way of real accomplishment. They .may be identified among engineering groups by
the distinctive emblem which^was adopted by the Charter Members. .
:.
--The-record of.the Society's accomplishments is a long and brilliant one, yet it must-, -embrace-but a small-part .of the real, achievement which the Society has inspired both
among" its .members arid the many non-members whose work it has influenced. Re-
warding'the'efforts of'its founders, who gave unstintingly of .their time and means, the-
Society.has been tremendously effective in the'adyancement of the Art arid Industry
through its-manifold activity.. . ",
