20
Q

What are the two types of fans used to move air?

A

Centrigugal fans and Propeller fans

21
Q

What are the components that make up a Centrigual fan?

A

Housing, shaft, bearing, and the centrifugal wheel

22
Q

Which fans are used in ducts for exhausting air?

A

Axial fans with propellers.

23
Q

What are the two reasons why bel tensioning is important?

A

It prevent noises from belt slippage or belt sections flapping together and it provides and maintains maximum energy transfer from the motor to the fan.

24
Q

What is a sheave

A

Its a wheel used to transfer mechanical energy

25
What are rigid ducts?
Ducts that are made from sheet metal such as galvanized mild steel or fibreglass boards
26
Which type of duct is the most vulnerable and why?
Flexible ducts. THe reason why it because falling objects may oenetrate the outer membrane or crush the duct.
27
Which type of duct offers strength and not easily damaged?
rigid ducts
28
What are mixing chambers
They are used to combine outdoor air with return air
29
What is the total amount of outdoor air that gets sent into a building?
10% to 20%
30
Whats the air requirement for a hospital surgical room
100% fresh air
31
How are minumum fresh air requirements established?
By almost fully closing outdoor air damper, more return air will pass through the return air damper which is almost fully open
32
Why in a mixing chamber, if the R/A damper is nearly open then the O/D damper will be closed just a little bit?
Because both dampers are linked together in the mixing chamber
33
What is the name of the dampers that close 100% and open 100%
Parallel dampers
34
How much nitrogen and oxygen should be in the air at best
78%nitrogen and 21%oxygen
