This article was written by my buddy and Canadian Supertech Tim Tanguay. Thanks, Tim! This P/E chart shows R410a at 100°F saturated condensing temp, 10°F SC, 40°F saturated suction temp, 20°F SH at the compressor. The green highlighted thumb shape is the saturation zone. Everything that occurs in the saturation zone is a latent (change […]

Heat is a byproduct of mechanical energy that presents itself as a temperature increase. French physicist James Prescott Joule aimed to equate heat to mechanical energy. Early experiments used paddle-like structures to stir water within a container and raise its temperature. The paddles would move and agitate the water whenever a mass on a pulley […]

This article was written by Michael Housh, owner of Housh Home Energy and a regular contributor to HVAC School. Thanks, Michael! This is another article in trying to relate the air side of HVAC with the water side. In this article, I’m going to talk about how to determine pump flow (GPM) based on the […]
