I'm trying to find a relatively simple way to estimate air temperature at a given distance from a heat source. For example, assume a large room with average temp. of 90 deg F. Within the room is a large (48" o.d.) steel chimney with a constant exterior surface temperature of 500 deg. F. How...
The phenolic coating referred to is a protective coating applied to the condenser coil & fins to inhibit corrosion. For example, these units are along the seacoast, where salt air causes unprotected coils/fins to corrode before their time. The coating was bubbling, or losing its adhesion to the...
