We
have our own language in the HVAC and buildings industry including more than
400 acronyms that we toss around like everone knows what they mean. How often
do you stop someone to ask them what BERD is? (Office of Building Energy Research & Development -
DOE). Or just as challenging, our tech talk. Ever wonder what an
ebullator is? We now know - "a
device inserted in flooded evaporator tubes to prevent the evaporator from
becoming oil bound or the refrigerant liquid from becoming quiescent at a
pressure lower than its boiling point " according to the just
released ASHRAEwiki.
Need to
Know what a SEAP is? Wow your friends with "Simplified Energy Analysis Procedure".
Or do a little name dropping with the term the Josephson effect.
I do
suggest bookmarking this handy little site with a ton of easy to use
information that will help bring clarity and understanding to your world.
