Size of piping

What must be known to properly size the out out of a pump for a hydronic heating system?

Required GPM and total feet of head

What is the main function of an expansion handling device?

To allow water in the system to expand and contract as the system water heats and cools

How do diaphragm tanks differ from standard closed expansion tanks?

Diaphragm tanks have a bladder that separates the water and air

In which section of the heating code will you find definitions?

Quality of work is referenced in which section of the heating code?

Section 4

Which section in the heating code deals with hydronic space heating?

Section 13

What is covered in section 15 of the heating code?

Auxiliary systems

What must be selected prior to installation of rough in piping?

Heat transfer units

When you calculate heat through a concrete wall you use:

K value

When you compare resistance to heat loss of various insulation materials you use:

R value

I/R=

U value

To calculate the R value of a wall you would _______ the R values of each material.

Add

The amount of Heat lost in one hour through a 200 square foot wall with an R 50 rating and 100•F temp difference between outside and inside air would be?

1) 1/50=0.02


2) 200 X0.02X100= 400BTU

A heat loss calculation is important to determine:

The output needed by a heating appliance to counteract building heat loss

When calculating heat loss through a wall built of a single material, the factor used use:

K value

R value is used to:

Show the resistance of various insulated materials to heat lost through them.

What are the 2 most common ways to accommodate Thermal movement ?

1-off set and expansion loops or bends


2-mechanical expansion joints( bellows and slip type expansion joints)

List the 4 common ways to accommodate thermal movement ?

Pipe loops


Offsets


Expansion coil


Changes of direction

Pipe installations can be either __________ or _________, meaning that one system can have anchors , guides and expansion joints while to the other system will not.

Free floating or restrained

Each change of direction in a pipeline offers some _________ that allows for some expansion.

Piping flexibility

Pipe loops and offsets are an ideal way to allow expansion ; however, you should be cautious when the line connects to _____________ and _________

Boilers , header branches and wall fins

What must be considered when using slip Joint expansion devices?

slip joint must be installed in an accessible location so they can be serviced

What is the common rule to use when designing a non problematic heating pipeline ?

Keep is as simple as possible.

As a rule, the first pipe guide should be placed ________ from the expansion joint and the second one should be _______ from the expansion joint .

4 pipe diameters


14 pipe diameters

What is the most trouble free expansion joint?

The non mechanical expansion loop or offset is most trouble free tho in some installations it may be restricted due to space limitations

What is Axial movement

Travel through the center line of the expansion device .

What is a lateral offset?

When the expansion joint acts as an offset device, with the faces of the fitting staying square to each other .

If a considerable amount of joint lateral movement and offset is needed , a/an ___________ is the better device to use.

Flexible connector
