this radiation for heating the outside walls and windows. At the same time, it must be controlled to prevent overheating the whole system. ^ few uncontrolled radiators will often change the heat balance and cause excessive overheating of the whole zone, without occupants near the radiators realizing the source of the trouble. All radiation used locally in
connection with the control system should be equipped with automatic control to prevent overheating.
The apparatus should be placed for minimum piping and duct work but it must be accessible for maintenance, repair, and cleaning. The air conditioning unit should be designed to provide access for cleaning coils drip pans, eliminators and for very easy maintenance on filters. This equipment will be in operation for many years, probably for the life of the building, and a little thought spent in the plan will simplify maintenance and assure successful results.

These calculations are based on maximum load conditions as set forth in the design.
For intermediate loads the calculations may show entirely different relationship. For example, the entering air temperature will approach the space temperature as the sensible heat gain or loss decreases, due to outside temperature change, entrance or exit of people, use of artificial lighting, direction and intensity of sun's rays. The entering
dew-point will remain much more uniform as it is affected by changes in room moisture gain only and this does not fluctuate greatly. If intermediate load conditions are im portant the calculations should be repeated for those loads.
PROBLEMS IN PRACTICE
1 Consider a central heating system handling 10,000 cfm. The resistance to air flow offered by one coil arrangement is 0.9 in. of water and by another coil arrangement is 0.2 in. of water. The fan operates 4000 hours per year and the combined efficiency of motor and fan is 60 per cent. Determine the annual energy saving if the second coil is used.
Difference, in system resistance = 0.9 -- 0.2 = 0.7 in. of water.
Reduction in power input =
= 1-83 hp.
Annual energy saving = 1.83 X 0.764 X 4000 = 5480 kwhr.
