  • This video guides you with a 3D model of a typical HVAC heating system of an office building to help you understand how a building is heated and what is does with the heat. We include photographs of how the items look in real life and give temperature and flow rate values to help understand what is happening in the system.
    We look at Boilers, pumps, ahu, air handlingunit, fan coil units, fcu, headers, low loss heater, dosing pot, calorifiers, expansion vessel, pressurisation unit, primary circuit, secondary circuit, lthw, and risers.

    Could I please ask what could be the possible reason(s) that some flats in the building doesn't have hot water while others have. For the flats that doesn't have hot water, the hot water comes for 30 sec than gone completely. Some suggested this is due to debris in the water circulation and would need a power flush. Would that work? Esp would the power flush cleans the part between the central loop and individual HEU? Many thanks for your answer!

    Hi Paul, excellent video. As I've said in a prior comment on another video: your content is so useful to new mechanical engineers and I speak from experience. Something that you mention in this video is the dosing pot which got me thinking about chilled water (and heater or chiller heat recovery) water treatment. Do you have much experience in softening and controlling water quality, including legionella and other diseases, etc. on these systems and if so have you considered making a video on it? Many thanks for all the great content, Cheers!

      Yes, that makes total sense. It's interesting how your channel has evolved from a sort of HVAC&R tutorial channel, even offering chiller training, to the new mechanical engineering "how stuff works" platform. I'd be really interested to watch a video of you just talking about yourself, your engineering experience, interests, possible advice to young engineers, producing interesting content on engineering (which is normally considered a boring topic I think), etc. as well as your views on how your channel has evolved and grown over the years. Maybe one day you'll get around to it, but thanks for the reply and best wishes! Looking forward to the next video!

    • @maness2112
      @maness2112 3 года назад

      The boiler feed water pump add water to the boiler. Seconday hot water pumps move hot water through a steam to hot water converter then to the heating coils

    • @rodneyhickman825
      @rodneyhickman825 2 года назад +1

      Boiler feed water pumps are generally referred to as pumps that supply steam in a steam system. Primary pumps pumps more water through a water system boiler to the header . The secondary pumps move the water out into the building

    • @SSemi1
      @SSemi1 2 года назад

      Boiler feed water is mainly for steam boilers, primary secondary hot water pumps are for hot water boilers.
      The pump controller of the steam boiler senses the level of water in the steam boiler and calls for water from the boiler feed tank through pumps. Boiler feed tank is fed from the vacuum/condensate pumps which is fed from condensate return after the steam has reached the radiators and passed through steam traps. Steam traps basically ensure that steam condenses into water and should not allow steam to pass through. Steam boiler will do this to maintain the right water level for the steam boiler.
      Primary and secondary pumps are for hot water boilers described here. Primary pump is the pump that kicks on first depending on the needs/call for heat to the zoned spaces. A secondary pump can work in tandem (meaning they can split the load to reduce stress on the pumps) or operate separately so that if one pump goes down and needs to be serviced, the second one can run to provide heat.

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  6 лет назад +1

      Some examples: The heating load or use of the building has changed over time from design, its cheaper to add a heat pump than increase the pipework, pumps and boiler. It could be that it is more efficient to install a heat pump, for example on the weekend only a small section of the building is used and needs heating, the central plant is more expensive to run than a small heat pump

    • @rodneyhickman825
      @rodneyhickman825 2 года назад

      There becomes often a temperature where heatpumps don't heat well . If the systems use the same piping it's important that boiler not get so hot that it ruins the heatpump. Best to use condensing boilers for that reason
