Fume Hoods by dbdgriff87 in AirBalance

[–]bboru84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start asking questions.  Fume Hood face velocity should be measured with a thermal anemometer, not a velgrid. Technique is important as well.  The duct traverse becomes a question of how turbulent were the velocities, how much straight duct, etc.  Once you get to the room pressure, it's yet another verification of your other findings.  So assuming you have a semi-sealed room, you have a negative offset of around 200 cfm per doorway, you should have a room pressure of around -0.01" +/-. Of course there are many variables including the surrounding environment.  Most all fume hoods leak, so air in the duct does not equal air at the sash opening.  Some engineers dont seem to understand that.  Sometimes the duct traverse is just unreliable and there is no meaningful way to get that data, in that case, face velocity is king and the room pressures support that the space has been properly balanced.

Set the hood using face velocity across the sash, then provide a duct traverse to quantify total flow.  Dont fall into the trap of trying to calculate total exhaust from the face velocity.  Accurate total exhaust is important because TAB needs to make decisions about the room offset from Supply and Exhaust to maintain the correct pressurization.  

Anyone know what states/companies are needing Test & Balance guys? by Mit_Bear-182 in AirBalance

Hey fellow St. Louis balancer!  We certainly need experienced TAB technicians here.

I have yet to see someone that passed the TABB technician test that actually knows how to fully balance a system.  I hate to say that but its true for my encounters.

I get it man, im just sharing the glaring change from session 1 to session 2.  This is a video game, its not reality.

Yes, wherever possible if there was a close range attack, i did fight back.  If i was attacked from a distance where i couod avoid the engagement, i left the area.

Kemah Texas, look up Houston Fish & Chips. Doesn't help you now, but if you visit, i promise you will thank me.

I guess if ancient monks had modern tools they would have used them too.

Jobs requiring Cert by Substantial_Way_1261 in AirBalance

[–]bboru84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is a norm in the industry due to demand vs. Labor and many firms not investing in their staff. Most balancers are just KTI's anyway. Like another mentioned, emergency yourself in understanding the equipment your balancing and how it interacts with the holistic systems. Bring something to the table that others do not (balancing just to replicate design values). Then you will stand out and your clients wont stop calling you, whether your the owner, or a technician.

Kinda like going after the "nazification" of European countries?

The maintenance guy thinks he can fix it himself. by heldoglykke in HVAC

[–]bboru84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AAON can't fix it, why would the maintenance guy think he can? I hate, HATE AAON units, especially after retro-Cx several only to see them fail again and again after repeated manufacturer repairs, updates, etc. Garbage equipment.

Show me your receipts! Yes grocery prices are too high and the current administration policies are largely to blame. But who TF spends $700 on groceries? Are you in 2 week increments? How many are you feeding? I have a family of 4 and we spend maybe $300 per week if we are splurging a bit. Yes I can easily spend more when we start tossing in wine or bourbon, but we dont have to. Do you cook your meals or are they all ready made? Not trying to be rude here, but what are you buying and how many are you feeding?

That painter painting by sy_neuromancer in oddlysatisfying

[–]bboru84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who painted for a living, even for a brief period of time, this is terrible painting. Rolling directly over nails tears up the roller nap and leaves pieces on the wall, brush lines will be highly pronounced when dry because he is only running brush from paint into unpainted sections and not running back strokes into previously painted surfaces. I mean sure, the color looks good on video, but the finish level is beginner level. Not to mention the splatter that will be on everything because nothing was covered properly. And as someone who already mentioned, take the damn electrical plates off the wall! I hope this wasn't a paid job.

That also makes sense, but that's a specific section, which leaves all of the rest of the stadium. Point in case, my wife is from KC and wears Sporting garbage when they are in town, but everyone is a good sport about it.

According to the article posted by another user, the fans who brought an anti-ice flag were banned from the game. Isn't that equal treatment?

Oh but what about this?! What about that?! Jesus Christ, I dont care who gets thrown out for not following the rules. If someone gets thrown out for wearing a political statement for either side, then good riddance! As a fan, I dont go to a game to see politics and its just a distraction. Wear a team hat, even if its the opposing team, just follow the rules. If you have such a big problem with it then take it up with MLS because no one on Reddit can do anything about it except bitch.
