Bridgebuster,
Thank you for the correction. Memory fails after a few decades. I'll have to do some research on Hulu to catch up on my literary shortfalls.
As you have apparently been doing your research, I have a question you might be able to answer (besides Mary Ann vs. Ginger)to settle a...
I think it reflects poorly on management and HR, like saying "we never considered ethics when we hired you, and we think there is a high enough probability that we exercised very poor judgment and brought on a bunch of unethical swine."
I believe the same arguments have been made before regarding pressure dependent vs. pressure independent mixing boxes.
All cooling coils where I work include requirement for PICV, which is also in the OPR for the CxA.
If we were going to keep the pneumatic controls, never use a VFD, and keep...
Lacajun,
I hope the book agrees with Sarah Palin, or it might have to be branded as revisionist.
I worked in Wuerzburg for a few years, had to do a lot of work with the FinanzBauAmt. The FBA had been sitting on about $60M in projects when it came my turn to deal with them. The city rabbi had...
Super65,
I didn't think it was a stupid question, but rather a segue into the subject. A stupid question would be asking your wife if her sister is hot. I think mtngreen answered the issue in a lot less words than I did.
Lacajun,
That's an interesting take on American history and the founders. Did Paul Revere really ride out to warn the British that the Americans are coming? Was Thomas Jefferson an isolationist? Judging by the large amount of work he plagiarized from Italy, I think not. I enjoyed driving...
Super65,
I wouldn't use a humidistat with it becuase I would never trust it to stay in calibration for calculating the dew point for controlling the cooling coil valve. If I were going to go to dew point control, I'd probably be looking at a chilled beam first. In most applications, it suffices...
If you don't fund and manage the O&M I doubt that a 5 year or 25 year warranty will help you. I would recommend resourcing O&M as opposed to extended warranty. Improved O&M would also probably save you energy money and extend equipment life.
I've been using 5 year warranties for compressors and...
I've dealt with the same situation repeatedly for 25 years, and I'm certain that any of those same protagonists over 25 years felt the same way. Some times personalities don't mix, some people have toxic personalities, and sometimes people that don't know you don't like you just the same.
I...

Most of the t-stats I've seen read dry bulb only, so even if envelope conditions or return temperature was given, I'd say the latent temp does not mean squat once you've gone past the cooling coil (unless you're talking about a walk-in, in which case the TD would be selected for latent...
Two I would recommend:
"Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail", Hunter Thompson, it's hilarious and describes how so many swinish people make it to elective office.
"Dark Benediction", Miller, a short story, not a book; protagonist is a mechanical engineer dealing with things entirely alien...
The number of air changes per hour is not the same as the thermal load requirements. If outside air is below design temperature, you don't need any air conditioning, though your fan would still run to meet the ACH.
What is your plug load, personal loading and envelope load? Are you going to...
