2. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

   Downstream of the air handler, the supply air trunk duct will commonly fork, providing air to many individual air outlets such as diffusers, grilles, and registers. When the system is designed with a main duct branching into many subsidiary branch ducts, fittings called take-offs allow a small portion of the flow in the main duct to be diverted ...

3. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

   Central, "all-air" air-conditioning systems (or package systems) with a combined outdoor condenser/evaporator unit are often installed in North American residences, offices, and public buildings, but are difficult to retrofit (install in a building that was not designed to receive it) because of the bulky air ducts required. [32] (Minisplit ...

4. Packaged terminal air conditioner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packaged_terminal_air...

   Packaged terminal air conditioner installed in a residential apartment. A packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) is a type of self-contained heating and air conditioning system intended to be mounted through a wall. [1] The first practical semi-portable air conditioning unit invented by engineers at Chrysler Motors. It entered the market in ...

5. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

   The first mini-split system was sold in 1961 by Toshiba in Japan, and the first wall-mounted mini-split air conditioner was sold in 1968 in Japan by Mitsubishi Electric, where small home sizes motivated their development. The Mitsubishi model was the first air conditioner with a cross-flow fan.

6. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

   The most common three-phase system will have three hot legs, 208 V to each other and 120 V each to the neutral. An older, but still widely used, high-leg delta system uses three phases with 240 volts phase-to-phase for motor loads, and 120 volts for lighting loads by use of a center-tapped transformer; two of the phases are 120 volts to neutral ...

7. Engineering drawing abbreviations and symbols - Wikipedia

   THRU ALL: Through all: Similar to THRU. Sometimes used on hole dimensions for clarity to denote that the hole extends through multiple open space features as it goes through the whole workpiece. [7] TIR: total indicator reading; total indicated run-out: For measurements of eccentricity and other deviations from nominal geometry TOS: top of ...

8. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   A split-phase or single-phase three-wire system is a type of single-phase electric power distribution. It is the alternating current (AC) equivalent of the original Edison Machine Works three-wire direct-current system. Its primary advantage is that, for a given capacity of a distribution system, it saves conductor material over a single-ended ...

9. Infiltration (HVAC) - Wikipedia

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

   The infiltration rate is the volumetric flow rate of outside air into a building, typically in cubic feet per minute (CFM) or liters per second (LPS). The air exchange rate, (I), is the number of interior volume air changes that occur per hour, and has units of 1/h. The air exchange rate is also known as air changes per hour (ACH).
