Are annual furnace inspections really necessary? | Air Heat Exchangers

The company has completed as many as 12 projects annually for the last 34 years at BWX Technologies Inc.’s manufacturing facility in Lynchburg for U.S. Navy nuclear reactors for submarines and aircraft carriers. The projects range from HVAC work to piping and plumbing installations.

According to a 2014 Whitehorse bylaw, new residences are required to have HRVs. They must have a "sensible recovery efficiency" of at least 64 per cent when outside temperatures are -25 C. Ventilation must meet the requirements of the National Building Code. 

Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS for short, are a combination of electronic and mechanical hardware. Every MEMS sensor consists of tiny silicon structures that are machined into a silicon wafer with a special type of etching process. For example, under a microscope, an acceleration sensor’s structures look like gossamer combs arranged in opposing and interlocking patterns. Some of these fine comb-like structures measure a mere four micrometers across – that is just a tenth the size of an ant’s leg. The force of a car accelerating or braking squeezes these combs. This changes the electrical voltage between the individual teeth, transforming a mechanical force into an electrical signal. A control unit interprets this signal and processes it further as a digital value. Bosch developed the manufacturing process behind MEMS technology nearly 25 years ago. It still forms the basis of today’s production runs, which take up to 14 weeks and entail several hundred steps. These tiny sensors are manufactured under exacting cleanroom conditions, as even the smallest airborne particles would disrupt their production. One cubic foot of air – that is about 30 liters – may contain no more than one particle weighing half a microgram. To put this into perspective, that equates to a cherry pit in Lake Constance – or 360 million bathtubs.

“We all had written complaint forms, which are forms that go directly to our captains or the deputies,” Walkden said. “They supposedly have to take them but we were denied. They would not take our complaint forms.”

During her phone conversation, Walkden said a man entered the cell range to check the heat at the floor level. She said the door was open, allowing cold air to come in, but the temperature at the cement floor was 26 degrees.

The installations are indeed expensive, notably Terraosave, where a single contract can be worth a million euros. But the startup claims it can reduce energy bills by 30 to 80 percent, which generally pays for its cost in less than three years.

My home uses a hot-water-to-hot-air converter system for heat. Recently, the heat upstairs stopped working. I called in an HVAC contractor, and within about 10 minutes he identified the problem and had my upstairs heating system working again.

The department plans to free up other land-related data such as the locations of vacant government sites available for application for community use and public open spaces in private developments.

The non-domestic compliance guide for Part L of the Building Regulations, which is concerned with conservation of fuel and power, also sets targets for air distribution systems. The document offers specific fan power targets for different systems, whether they are centralised, local or utilise heat recovery. However, it may be that there are many types of air distribution systems in use in the building other than the ventilation itself, including chilled water fan coils, washroom extract, or variable air volume (VAV) systems and these need to be factored into the calculations.

What can you do to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning? The National Safety Council recommends every household install carbon monoxide detectors near the entrance of each bedroom. Today, there are many options available to suit a variety of needs.
