Here is part 2 from Michael Housh from Housh Home Energy in Ohio. Thanks, Michael! This is part two in a series on a deeper look into the sensible heat rate equations. You can find the first article here HERE if you missed it. This article will dive deeper into the density of “standard air” […]

Basic Compressor Functions The compressor's job is to circulate refrigerant through the system by means of vapor compression, similar to the way your heart moves blood through your circulatory system. Refrigerant circulation is measured in lbs/min or lbs/hour; this is called mass flow rate—the mass flow rate changes depending on the density of the refrigerant […]

Take a look at the screenshots above. The one on the left is for Death Valley at 282′ below sea level, and the one on the right is Denver, CO, at 5,280′ above sea level. Notice the barometric pressure values; they are almost the same. That means that barometric pressure is corrected or “normalized” to […]
