I've done it on a Taylor 707, it was tight, but it did work.

Isn't 1.8°F = 1°C, so if you have the water set to 32°C, the air should be set to 33°C
(32x1.8)+32=89.6°F
(33x1.8)+32=91.4°F

That all depends on where you are located and what the cooling tower is being used for.

Looks like it has a Concentric Vent Kit. Think of it as a tube inside of another tube. The inner tube is where the combustion gas exit, the outer tube is where the combustion air is drawn in.

I set up a ducted mini-split for a a customers recording studio. If it wasn't for the plastic tarps, that I had draped all over his equipment, fluttering due too the air movement you wouldn't have...

One option would be to just purchase the lines for a van that didn't have the dual AC option and charge based on the single AC capacity.

Depends on where you are located. Here in Central Texas, most see a significant savings when switching from a straight electric to heat pump system. Compressors typically draw 1/5th the energy as the...

If the space has high humidity, then yes the dT would be low. The unit is using a lot of its capacity to remove the moisture. Remember there is Sensible Heat and Latent Heat being absorbed by the...

For the 24/25 unit its 15" Depth, but for efficiency matchup, you are most likely going to need to use the larger 30/31 or 36/37, which are...

I might be a normal situation. The off-line unit will act as a refrigerant storage device when off. Allowing the system to move the refrigerant around in the system as needed. So the system might be...

Based on the equipment sizing, you have 36k BTU's on a 30k BTU Cond Unit. So it might just be the combination of the load on the smaller units (9k and 12k) are limiting the available capacity of the...

More than likely the difference in measured %RH is due too temperature differences between the areas. %RH is a relative value based on the temperature. The actual value would be grains of moisture....

That's what I was going to say.

Unless you shut off the Outdoor Fan Motor in the heat mode, thus reducing the heat absorbed by the Outdoor Coil, which would be the Evaporator in the Heat Mode.

That's what I was thinking, doesn't have to be just the High Wall Units.

The other option is to run Exposed Spiral Ductwork inside. It works with the modern look of the home.

The Blower is Variable Speed, the Burners are 2-stage, so it would have a reduce consumption of fuel on low stage but it would still be consuming fuel.

There are several brands that offer Dual Fuel systems. I'm most familiar with the Carrier Branded systems, so that's what I can discuss most. Others might have the same, just not certain on them.

The Heat Pump and AC capacities are the same in the Cooling mode, assuming that the capacities are rated the same. It's just the ability to use the refrigerant to absorb heat from outside to heat the...

I've had issues when the Service Cap, especially the Brass Hex Head versions are over-tightened on the fitting. Over-tightening the cap causes the inside edge to flare inward and obstruct the...

I like the look of it, no offset needed on the return drop to get a media filter installed.

It looks nice. What is the stand? I'm assuming its a Filter Base of sorts. Just the first time I've seen one done like this.

If you look at the documentation, there is a small permissible amount of leakage allowed from the Gas Valve, and the oddorant used is detectable at some incredibly small level, like in the parts per...

My Ranch Hand Bumper has paid for itself 4 times now, 3 with other vehicles that didn't see my 20' long white service truck and pulled into my lane, and once as a deer ran into the front of my truck....

I've seen this issue happen with other brands when they install a Aux Float Switch in the control wiring. The micro switch in the Aux Float can have a poor electrical connection and cause the Loss of...

You seem to be missing some important information.

1. Heat Pumps lose efficiency as the Outdoor Air Temp drops, that is to say that as it gets colder outside, the amount of heat to absorb and...

I relocated the Flame Sensor back to the OEM Position and tried to start the Furnace, found only the top 2 Burners lite off.

Checked the LP Gas pressure to the Furnace, found only 10.5"WC...

Its a 15+ year old install, so it was in code at the time. Any future replacement will get rigid pipe and a tee.

I got called out to look at a Propane Furnace that hadn't been working for a few years, several other techs had been out on it, but none were able to get it to work. 804021

Apparently one of the...

The change in efficiency is strictly the amount of BTU's lost going out the combustion vent. So a 100K BTU Furnace at 80% is only producing 80K BTU to heat the house, the other 20K BTU is going out...

Like a hot knife thru butter.

I had a 150ton AHU that they just kept installing smaller belts as the blower shaft cut thru the opposite side. They couldn't figure out why the belts kept getting...

On a sealed system, I look at the Compressor Amp draw and compare to the rated RLA. If you take the LRA and divide by 6, you should get the RLA, if its not provided. Then based on that, you can...

The biggest issue that they have had is getting use to the lower %Rh in the house. They had issues before as the old system was over-sized and causing higher %Rh. With this system, it ramps down to...

I know the average company quotes a 12-15 year life expectancy, but to me that's like asking a car salesman how many miles their car should last. Of course they are going to recommend replacement as...

In my area, it seems that all of the large AC companies have their installers put a P-Trap on every unit. I guess in an effort to make sure that there is one when it is actually needed. Easier to...

I'm so glad that I read this post.

It made me smile and I love learning obscure facts like spraying grapefruit juice on coils to remove oil buildup. :cheers:

I just recently installed the Carrier equivalent of the 180CNV on my In-Laws house. My Distributor didn't have the Bryant unit in stock at the warehouse near me and my In-Laws system failed on...

That's a 1995 era 1.5 Ton unit.

I like it, my only comment is to use a slightly larger Aux Pan, that way the Condensate Pump could fit down into the pan.

Why not just make a Cooling Tower? Significantly less energy consumption and depending on the design, it can be controlled by the Pool Controls in some cases.

Ahh, the good old Liebert Soap Dish.

AC systems are designed to operate 24/7, they don't need to rest. My blower motor hasn't shut off in the 17 years that I've owned the house. I use it like a whole house filtration with the 4" media...

E looks to be a Reducer from 6" to 4" as it indicated all pipe to be 4" unless otherwise noted.
F looks to be a Circulation Pump

I picked up the 10kw version on amazon for $799 a few years ago. I used it to pump down condensing units from homes that were going to be demolished after the city bought them out following a flood....

I'd stay away from the linked belts.

What kind of Motor Pulley do they have? If it still has the adjustable sheave on the motor, then they should have been replaced with a fixed sheave pulleys at...

Payne is a Carrier brand.

I've been using this alloy called Dura-Fix. You can order it from the internet.

I've used it to patch an aluminium condenser coil.

It's easy to use, just need a map gas torch.

I had a great service call at a shopping center near the UT campus. Turns out that as the opposing team's fans were walking back to where they were staying, they decided to pull and take all of the...

My wife and I walked the whole show. Guess she didn't expect there was that much area to cover.

20kW should be more than enough Generator for a 5 ton Heat Pump, or at least the Outdoor Unit (Compressor and Cond Fan Motor), Now adding the Heat Strips, it wouldn't be enough, as a 5 ton Air...

The good news is, you get to sell another mini-split system.

When I worked for a small residential service company, I would politely decline, but if they insisted, I'd accept it and thank them.

Then I would put the money in my wife's piggy bank. She kept...
