Thinking Mechanically
Добавлен 10 июл 2020
A Plumbing and HVAC channel for teaching and learning. I have a wide area of expertise and have been in the mechanical trades for about 20 years and taught for 12 years, but I still try to learn something every day. My goal is to always make sure everything I talk about is accurate and can be sourced to professional organizations, studies, or standards.

Would you be open to some consulting work?
This is where i started if anyone else is looking for explanations and needs a diagram to go with 7:37. Underrated video my man. Thank you!
Loving the videos. Would appreciate an update on the book? Availability? @thinkingmechanically
are you able to share your library? or show us how to make the fittings?
I really appreciate this video, thanks.
Hopefully a easy question. If you match a small house (600 sq ft, 4800 cu ft) which needs 75 CFM( at 1 ACH) with a small furnace 40,000(32,000) BTU which on low speed only goes down to approx. 750 CFM. What am I missing as the solution?
@@RichardSwayze-s4i I don't understand the question. I assume you mean the house needs 750 cfm, there's no way it only needs 75 cfm. Your furnace is going to need to have a minimum of about 750 cfm any time it's running anyway depending on what the max temp rise is. You mentioned ACH, are you talking about bringing in 75 cfm for outside air?
Do you think that using only 6 inch round duct is an acceptable practice? Or do you think it causes some rooms to have too much or too little airflow. Thanks
@@masonanderson4859 no. There may be some cases where it all just happens to work out like that, and even then you would almost certainly need a balancing damper on every or almost every outlet. And even though this is recommended by ACCA, it's impractical for most residential homes. The best way to try and balance a duct system in residential during design is to size your registers and ducts differently based on necessary cfm. But, every situation is different, and some climates may be more likely than others to have closer to equal loads. Or, if it's particularly easy to just make sure every register needs the exact same cfm it may work out. But I've never done a design that didn't have some 5", some 6", and some 7". So at least 3 different sized ducts and at least 2 different sizes of registers.
@Tmechanically Thanks. I've worked at 2 companies in MN and they only use 6 inch round for supplies. I am building my own house soon, and plan to size the individual runs properly
How about reducing trunk size from end to end. When would you reduce the size? Based on cfms needed?
You keep saying "our climate". "Our area". WHERE ARE YOU
Is there a version with sound?
Lmao. Maybe. I'll see if I can find it. Hopefully next week I'll get back on the idea of releasing stuff on this channel. But, I will do my best to remember to look if I still have a copy of this video with the sound.
Thank you ,
Thanks for all the info you share! Any update on the resource booklet website? Checked your recent videos and did not see an update, thank you.
🫵🏻💪
(Suff -ICE) lol jk but other than that i love the video haha very good info bud.
Awesome information! These calculations are not only easier than the Ductulators but also spot on. I did a room by room CoolCalc evaluation of my house for a good size addition/renovation and the BTU - CFM formula was 6 cfm differnet than the Man J #! I heard you mention in this or another of your videos that these docs/spreadsheets are available in Google Classroom. Is there a link somewhere? Thanks again!
Appreciate this video 🤜🤛
Come back to us!! These are some of the best vids around! I’d pay to keep them coming
I'm coming back. I finally finished the revised guide yesterday. I was really hoping to have it done before Christmas, but that didn't work out. Hopefully today, if not by the end of the weekend, I should have the guide available abd at l east a short announcement video up. I'm really hoping to put out something every week. It might nit be a video everytime, but we will see. I'm still working it out a little. But watch out for something by this weekend.
@@Tmechanically awesome!
I would love to get a copy of your book to help with bids for rehabbing my old ductwork. Will it be available ?
I'm working very hard to have it available in the next couple of days. I'll post an update on the RUclips channel as soon as it's done. I'm just finalizing formatting. Thanks for your interest.
Chris, this is a great tutorial on duct sizing. I have done many manual D calculations as well. I agree, this method is much simpler, and I wish I would have come across it a long time ago. Especially when comparing it to one of my manual D calculations, it is right there with it. I think a duct table as you described at the end of the video would be a great tool and it would be a great resource in the book. Let me know when the book is available, I would be glad to purchase it. Also, if you have anything to add on reducing the supply trunk duct after branch takeoffs. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together.
Thanks for the nice words. I've not been spending as much time on the teaching side of things the last couple years, but I've been working on getting all these resources together in one place. Hopefully, I'll have those things in a good enough spot soon that I can make the website/resource available and I'll definitely announcing it on this channel when I can. I'm glad you found it helpful.
I second this. I could use a reference like this and would like some quick tools for trunk reduction as more air is drawn off of it as more connections are made.
@@Tmechanically Thank you for going over this info. It has been a good refresher for me. I'd like to get a copy of the book when you've completed it.
Is the book available either for free or purchase?
I just got finished revising it. I'm not very inclined to sell it, but I've been tossing the idea around. Pretty sure in the near future I'll just be posting it to a website. I'm still working out the details a little bit. But as soon as I can make it available easily I'll announce it here. And I'll try to respond to your comment again when I do.
Sounds great! I look forward to it whether paid or freely shared. Thanks for the wonderful videos!@@Tmechanically
CAN WE DOWN LOAD YOUR DOCUMENT COST???
? This is hardly for Dummies . Start from the beginning.
great video, helped me a lot. thank you!
If only i could consult with you on my rough ins...your providing some great info my friend
in short shielding wire, is to prevent Induction of a current from and external source, Trane uses some 5 volt DC circuits, when installed near over head power lines the magnetic fields can induce a in correct voltage, micro and radio wave can do the same. i hope you get pair well your a excellent trainer.
the motor question, to day PSC ore ECM PSC Amps go down Ecm Amps go up till they hit a safety limit.
i am 20 minutes in, i only do residential, wanted to chime in, most zone controls can handle a call for heating and cooling at the same time, the logic built in satisfices the call for heating first then cooling, and this happens in 2 floors, up stairs is warm and mom living on the fist floor wants heat. in residential we don't call them dump zones we call them constant air flow registers, to lower the by pass need or over all pressure on a variable speed motor pocking a register near a front door foyer, or kitchen dinning room with slider/ French door, or even a utility room is a grate place to have supply leads that blow no matter which zone calls so long as there not near a thermostat or zone controller. love you video's recommend them please keep them coming.
I really liked that it was easy to follow easy to understand and great information. Got me thinking about the duckwork I put in, in the past.
for cooling I like to look at it as the ceiling is another source of heat so washing cold air to cool it and carry the hotter air away as the colder air falls will create a more comfortable room.
you deserve more comments, first discussion of this I've seen. clo. rate? met rate?
Thanks
Thanks for education. Those 4 books I need to study and we are in 2023 please advise
Are there any specific chapters to reading ?
Thank U , good info !!
is this document still available i cant seem to find it
Hey , do u have more videos like this for the other chapters ?
I appreciate ya man
where we can get the fittings or how we can make?
It’s so easy to make them
@@joanmanuelist I was wondering the same thing, does someone have a library of these fittings?
Moises, did you end up finding a library of the fittings? I'm looking for some too.
Do you have commercial troubleshooting and sequence of operation. Really enjoyed this video
thank you so much for making this videos and make the time to do it. I really think this was very helpful i hope you keep making more videos like this about plumbing layout. I would like to learn how to make fitting to scale like you did please make a video about that next time.
Don't forget about the acoustic insulation, need to increase the duct to suit the insulation.
Great content
Great video 👏👏👏🙏🙏 I'll try to help you get you subscribers up... every on else downfall is moving too fast for us newbies
Hey man! Thank you. Most of these videos are just recordings of my classes for the apprenticeship program but I want most of them to be in the prerecorded format like this by next year. The FCPS and playlist is a little better than the ABC playlist. Anyway, if there’s anything in particular you would like a video on let me know and I’ll try to make one up. And if you ever want a worksheet I reference I can send you one over.
@@Tmechanically yes please my email is brandonasherfield@gmail.com but I will think about it and get back to you....do commercial refrigeration too?
@@brandonasherfield9860 Ok. I’ll try to send you some stuff later this evening or tomorrow. I do just enough commercial refrigeration to start out of trouble. Mostly new installs here and there. I could cover BBC said walk ins and controls comfortably with some prep but refrigerated cases with EPR valves and such is outside of my realm, as an example.
@@Tmechanically ok I gotcha whatever you know will be much appreciated and I'll let you any updates
