Book Description
This document reports USA-CERL's efforts to develop a new acceptance test procedure for ensuring the energy efficiency of air supply and distribution systems in new Army facilities. The procedure was developed by interviewing heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals, reviewing technical literature, and consolidating these findings into a simple, easy-to-use procedure. With this procedure, air supply and distribution system components can be identified and systematically checked for completeness, proper operation, and energy efficiency. Necessary data and efficiency calculations are identified and worksheets are used for recoding this information. A glossary of possibly unfamiliar HVAC terms is included. An informal evaluation of the procedure showed that considerable engineering judgement may be needed to choose measurement methods and locations that will produce accurate data. The system's design also affects the ease or difficulty of performing the test. More extensive evaluations are necessary before the procedure can be recommended for use. Keywords: Air distribution. (sdw).

Technology Transfer Test Bed Program. Field Demonstration of the Acceptance Test Procedure for Air Supply and Distribution Systems
Author: Dahtzen Chu

Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
Four U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Districts, one Area Office (AO), and one Directorate of Engineering and Housing (DEH) evaluated an acceptance test procedure for air supply and distribution systems. The purpose of the procedure is to determine if air supply and distribution systems in new buildings were installed properly and are operating in an energy-efficient manner. The objective of this test was to determine the validity of the acceptance test procedure for use by Corps inspection personnel. Based on the participants' responses to this demonstration, the acceptance test procedure is relatively easy to use, accurate, and appropriate for evaluating the installation and operation of air supply and distribution systems in new Army facilities. It is recommended that this procedure be used in the field and revised and updated after periodic review to prevent it from becoming obsolete. It is also recommended that the checklist portions of the procedure be used to establish a regular maintenance schedule. Keywords: Technology transfer test; Bed program; Acceptance tests; Air supply; Building.
