Heating AC and Engine Cooling

Heating, air conditioning (AC) and engine cooling require a radiator to transfer heat. Heating a cabin requires heat to be transferred from an engine block. Engine cooling blows the heat out of the engine. AC uses refrigerants to cool air.

What is a hot front and a cold front?

a cold front is a boundry of advancing mass of colled air a warm front is the oppposite its a mass of warm air

What does it mean to be cool?

To go in a refrigerator and get frostbite. All cool people do it.

How are you cool?

It depends on what is popular in your school or wherever, copy off someone you think is cool and others too think that person is cool. If he/she needs improvements. be that person with the improvements! but do not copy them too much, or you will just get less popular...

If you just want a date with someone do something that he/she likes!

i hang out wit girls i got a girlfriend i had 4 girlfriends(all popular and hot) i have cool popular friends i am not a bully and i have girls follow me! that's how im cool! o ya and i like getin messages so send me some!plzz lol

Really strong smell coming from your back boiler when you turn on the heating It smells like the fumes are entering the room you have turned off the gas hoovered all the dust out please help?

It is important that you do not use the boiler and turn the gas off. You must then ask a professionally qualified gas plumber or engineer to come and test and overhaul your boiler. If you do not do this your boiler could let Carbon Monoxide gas into your house and this will kill you. Don't mess with Gas!!!

What are the two types of cooling system used on modern engines?

There are basicaly two types of cooling systems

1) Air Cooled

2) Fluid Cooled(Also known as water cooled)

Air cooled systems are genarally used in small engines where there is no space for installing a saperate cooling system,like that in bikes. This system is simple and uses fins to to cool the engine.

Fluid cooled systems are generally used in big engines like that in care and trucks, where there is impossible to dessipate large amount of heat through mere fins. Fluid used is generaly water mixed with some anti freeze agent(a type of chemical which prevents water to make oxides)

Do lions like hot or cold?

they like to be hot and hariry they love seeing the pups on others :)

How does a liquid cooled engine work?

In simple tearms

A Liquid Cooling engine works by using Water and Ani Freeze to travel from the resevwar to the engine via a Water Pump, and it travels through water jackets that cool the engine down. when that water gets to hot the Thermostart opens to let water out from the engine through the return pipe and goes through the radiator fins to cool the Hot water down, then goes back into the engine to cool again. Its a cycle

Why does a car blow cool air while idling?

Blowing cool air while idling & the water pump is not moving very fast is a key indicator of low engine coolant levels.

Add some anti-freeze/water and likely you'll have warm air all the time.

Why do brand new car windows fog up inside in cold weather?

Windows fog because the glass is cold and the humidity is high inside the car. It has nothing to do with the age of the car. Try turning the fan up to circulate the air better, and if that doesn't work, turn the AC on -- but turn the heat up so it doesn't get cold. That will do it for sure.

How do you know if your car has a cracked block?

A good clue would be water in the oil.

That said, just because you do not have water in the oil, doesn't mean the block is not cracked.

Have a good mechanic check the car.

How hot does water get in a car radiator?

It,s circulated there from the hot engine block and cylinder head by the pipes, hoses and the engines water pump. It could be up to 230 deg F

What causes your car to quickly overheat?

stuck thermastat

Also radiator fins being bent over from presure washing and or impacts (ie: Birds, rocks, road hazards, dirt) and clogging condensor and then radiator.

Does a refrigerator have a separate fan for the refrigerator?

Refrigerators use refrigerants (liquids that evaporate easily at low

temperatures) to remove thermal

energy from food. The refrigerant

is pumped through coils inside

the refrigerator. As the refrigerant

evaporates, it absorbs thermal

energy from the items inside the

refrigerator, so they cool down.

The warmed gas is pumped to a

compressor at the back or bottom

of the refrigerator. When the

gas is compressed, its temperature

rises until it is above room temperature.

Then it loses thermal

energy to the air in the room and

condenses again into a liquid.

How do you determine btu per hour that is needed to heat a room?

The correct way is to determine the coefficient of heat transmission for each of the areas of the room. Multiply this factor by the square footage and then multiply by the temperature difference at design temp. Then add all the values together. There are factors for each type of wall, floor, ceiling, type of window, etc. The coefficient of heat transmission, also called the "U value", is the inverse of the "R value". Example: A 20'X20' room with an 8' ceiling would work like this- 20X20= 400 sq. ft (floor and ceiling) total 800 sq.' 20X8=160X4 (walls)=640 sq.' R-19 insulation all around. 1/19= .053 U factor You want to maintain 70 degrees inside when it hits -10 outside (80 deg difference) Total area 640+800= 1440 sq. ft. 1440X.053X80=6105.6 BTU'S/ HOUR. Single pane windows are the worst for heat transmission. Low E are the best. U factors will vary slightly based on drywall, siding, etc. Air infiltration (leakage) also can really change the numbers too. Window manufacturers publish the U or R values for the windows and are easily obtained. Hope this helps. lc

Is human like a heat engine?

The human body can deliver lots of work. Consider, for instance, the athlete running a marathon, or the cyclist racing in the Tour de France. We also know that human body temperature is normally 37°C and that usually the environment is cooler, say 20°C. From this we could suggest that there is some resemblance between a heat engine, in which the body is the heat source, and the cooler environment could act as a heat sink. So let's make a few simple calculations to see how closely the body resembles a heat engine. From earlier blogs (see for instance May 6), we know that the efficiency of a heat engine is determined by the temperatures of the heat source (the body temperature, Tbody = 310K) and the heat sink (the environmental temperature, Tsink = 293K): Efficiency = (Tbody -Tsink )/Tbody = (310-293)/310 = 5.5% Thus, based on this temperature difference, the body would be able to achieve only 5.5% efficiency. Fortunately, scientific studies already have estimated the human body's efficiency [Whitt et al.] in other ways. One study reasons that for an average man to produce 75 Watts of power, he will need to breathe about one liter of oxygen per minute. That liter of O2 is combusted in body cells to form carbon dioxide (CO2). It has also been determined that one liter of oxygen generates in this way about 300 Watts of power. Thus, we can conclude that the efficiency of the human "engine" is 75/300 = 25%. What causes the difference between the 5.5% efficiency as calculated above, and the 25% from the combustion determination? The explanation is that the human body cannot be considered a heat engine. The work is not generated in the same way as a steam engine, which directly transforms heat into work and lower-temperature waste heat. Instead, the human body is more like a fuel cell, where chemical energy is transformed into work [Whitt et al]. For this kind of transformation, one obviously cannot use the efficiency formula of a heat engine. Copyright © 2007 William Andrew Publishing, NY

How does fan delay relay work?

A common fan delay relay works by a small thermal coil contained within it. Upon application of the low-voltage control signal, usually 24 v, the coil begins to heat up and after a pre-determined amount of time, will cause the primary contacts to close. This allows the furnace to fire up and warm the heat exchanger prior to the circulation fan coming on. At the end of the heating cycle, the control voltage is removed and again, after a period of time, the thermal coil will cool down, opening the primary contacts and shutting off the circulation fan. This ensures an adequate flow of air over the heat exchanger after the burner is extinguished, purging the system of any remaining heated air. Even though it may contain a thermal circuit, it essentially is still a mechanical relay and thus subject contact stick, mechanical damage, etc. Many of them have been replaced with a solid-state relay and control/ delay circuitry.
