Piping Strainers (or filters) arrest debris such as scale, rust, jointing compound, and weld metal in pipelines, protecting equipment and processes. A strainer is a device that provides a means of mechanically removing solids from a flowing fluid or gas in a pipeline by utilizing a perforated ...
This is part of our installation, inspection, & troubleshooting guide for condensate piping, traps, drains, condensate pumps, and the detection and hazards of air conditioning system condensate leaks in buildings. InspectAPedia tolerates no conflicts of interest. We have no relationship with advertise...
Water-source systems can be cheaper to install since there is no need for extensive excavation to bury the piping in the earth, but they are subject to many regulations since keeping the refrigerant-filled piping sealed and isolated from the water is essential. 4. Hybrid Heat Pumps There are ...
Image Source –pumps and systems This is a sample family curve that is used to select the pump. Head and flow rates are on the Y and X-axis. On the Y-axis, you can see the impeller diameter is marked. Percentage shows the efficiency of the Pump for a given size of impeller. The ...
of air into the space; all-air induction terminal units, which controls the primary air, induces return air, and distributes the mixed air into a space; and air-water induction terminal units, which contains a coil in the induction air stream. All the ductwork and piping should be ...
Despite their simple design and function, these valves are crucial for protecting pumps, piping systems, and fluid flow.The swing check valve, shown in the image below, is the most common type. It features a full port design, allowing the disc to be completely out of the way during fluid...
Types of blades used in centrifugal fans are Straight steel plate paddle wheel Forward multi-vane multi-blade Backward turbo-vane The different blades can be characterized as shown in the capacity diagram below: Mixed flow fans In a mixed flow fan the air flows in both axial and radial directi...
Access for utilities such as cable conduits and piping is easier to install compared to other panels. Timber frame panels are cheaper, but the downsides are their weaker load-bearing strength, poor sound resistance, and susceptibility to biological attacks such as mold and termites. Chemical ...
Miscellaneous Equipment that does not go in routes (such as tanks or pumps) or hybrid components that fall into more than one category (such as electrically powered valves). Piping Creates different types of components such as flanges, tees, elbows, pipes, and valves that are used in designin...
The delivery pipes of all pumps are connected in such a way that the total flow rate goes to the common header. This paper provides an analytical solution to predict the desired distribution of the flow rate in a piping network by suitable selection of the operating point of the pumps ...
