  2. Blower door - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

    Duct leakage testing of forced air heating/cooling systems - both supply (vents) ducts and return ducts can be tested to determine if and how much they leak air. A duct test can be combined with a blower door test to measure the total leakage to outside, measuring effective leakage to the outside of the house only.

  3. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

    Duct leakage test in the US. A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. A duct leakage tester consists of a calibrated fan for measuring an air flow rate and a pressure sensing device to measure the pressure created by the fan flow.

  4. Building airtightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_airtightness

    The relationship between pressure and leakage air flow rate is defined by the power law between the airflow rate and the pressure difference across the building envelope as follows: [16] q L =C L ∆p n. where: q L is the volumetric leakage airflow rate expressed in m 3 h −1; C L is the air leakage coefficient expressed in m 3 h −1 Pa −n

  5. Ductwork airtightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductwork_airtightness

    The relationship between pressure and leakage air flow rate is defined by the power law model between the airflow rate and the pressure difference across the ductwork envelope as follows: q L =C L ∆p n. where: q L is the volumetric leakage airflow rate expressed in L.s −1; C L is the air leakage coefficient expressed in L.s −1.Pa −n

  6. Infiltration (HVAC) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration_(HVAC)

    In cold climates, with a 15 MPH wind, residences often have air exchange rates of 1.0 to 1.5 ACHs, far in excess of the ventilation air needs and are thus called loose construction. It is very easy to reduce infiltration rates to less than 1.0 ACH. Smoke candles and blower-door tests can help identify less-than-obvious leaks.

  7. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    Balancing methods measure ˙ and ˙ using flowmeters and finally compute the imbalance which is an estimate of the unknown, true leak flow. Comparing this imbalance (typically monitored over a number of periods) against a leak alarm threshold γ {\displaystyle \gamma } generates an alarm if this monitored imbalance. [ 7 ]

    A novelty eye can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $5,500 -- about the same range as a regular prosthetic -- but they aren't covered by insurance. Andy recalls one patient who was determined to make a return on his investment: He asked . for an eye that featured the Nike swoosh.

  9. Testing, adjusting, balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing,_adjusting,_balancing

    In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) are the three major steps used to achieve proper operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. TAB usually refers to commercial building construction and the specialized contractors who employ personnel that perform this service.
