Can you give me an example of one of these conversions?

Best answer. Thank you. So, can you think of anything that does not require the transfer of heat? I cannot, I suspect that the reference in post #7 to conversion of one form of energy to another...

how large is the transition problem? Could loose a little there, but could the system be undersized? If it is sized for 95 degrees, and it is 100 outside, maybe she is doing all she was designed...

It is a law of "THERMO" dynamics. Can you think of a form of energy that does not involve heat? I was under the impression that every thing in the universe happens because of heat flowing from a...

If heat is a form of energy, then wouldn't the statement hold true?

One law of thermodynamics is "heat cannot be created or destroyed", I think this means we just move it around.

How does fire work according to this principle?

How does resistance heating work...

Is the return duct grill sizing larger than the opening in the bottom of the air handler?

I am looking at my 4 ton upflow air handler. The return grill is two 12x18 registers cut through the...

I remember BP poked a hole in the Gulf of Mexico the other day and the oil was coming out like lava.

I saw a documentary on oil, and when they hit the oil, it was coming out like lava.

I am not familiar with the type of metering device on this machine. I forgot to add that this is a heat pump.

Metering device: 3/8' liquid line comes into cabinet and transitions to 1/2" with...

Working on a 1980's model GE air handler with a 3ton Lennox consensor. On charging, chart calls for 80psi low side at 95F outdoor air. Did not matter how much refrigerant (r-22) I added, low side...

I have some general questions about the defrost timer.

1. I thought (gets me in trouble alot) that the defrost cycle could be initiated by jumping the defrost pins on the defrost timer board. ...

Good information, thank you. I believe the Rheem unit I worked on had a port on the defrost timer for the CCH. I will assume, unless I am advised otherwise, that the board will energize the CCH in...

Assisted, could you explain why it is so important?

Thanks Cooked. I saw you were an engineer, you have probably done a little snooping yourself. I am not an engineer, but always drive repairmen crazy standing over them; combination of curious and...

That was my understanding. The reason I ask, was that I put a scroll compressor on a Rheem heat pump and recommended a CCH to the customer. He had just paid for a new Carrier from a larger local...

Am I breaking any rules if I say "Support Ron Paul".

I think there is a spiritual element to people's blindness.

Thessalonians II 2:11-12. "And for this cause God shall send them strong...

Is it necessary or beneficial for a heat pump with a scroll compressor to have a CCH?

I am not familiar with the Mr. Slim, I was giving some general advice. You could call your factory rep or contractor for specific advice on that unit, or someone on this site that is more familiar...

It is normal for your heat pump to create less heat as the outdoor temperature declines. The heat pump is taking heat from outdoors and bringing it into your home. As the outdoor temperature falls,...

Apologies for the confusion. The machine I was referring to is two high pressure residential 3-4 ton, R-22 units twinned together.

It was the thermostat causing the delay. I am new to the...

Good advice; I will check the ground and neutral with my meter.

Worked on a York with a bad transformer. Installed the new transformer and a fuse-able link on the low voltage side just in case of problems. Board flashes a code for "115 vac power lines crossed";...

Thank you all for your input. I think your are both correct that the thermostat is what sets the delay; I will find out tomorrow. Thanks again for your great forum and, I look forward to my next...

I need to know what makes the fan blower continue to run for 60-70 sec after the compressor has turned off? This system is 30 yrs old and does not use a circuit boar. Is that the thermostat?

Thermostat is set correctly. I was under the impression that the fan will continue to run for about 75 seconds after the compressor has stopped to utilize the remaining coolness of the evaporator. ...
