EP108 Unpacking the ANSI-RESNET-ACCA-ICC 310 HVAC Rating Standard series: Tasks 4&5 Blower Watt Draw and Refrigerant Charge with Jim Bergmann, MeasureQuick
The only source of knowledge is experience.
Albert Einstein
The message is clear, HVAC equipment is often the largest energy-consuming system in a home.
While listeners likely know about blower door and duct leakage tests, what impact do blower Watt draw and refrigerant charge on HVAC energy use?
What can we learn from an HVAC expert with so much experience?
Today’s podcast continues down the technical trail with the last installment of a three-part series on cracking open the details of the ANSI/RESNET/ACCA/ICC Standard 310.
Previous podcasts covered the other aspects of this standard:
Episode 99 with Alex Meaney (MeanHVAC) on HVAC System design
Episode 105 with Steve Rogers (TEC) on Duct leakage and AirFlow
We are joined by Jim Bergmann, President of MeasureQuick and an HVAC system measurements and diagnostics expert.
Jim takes the listener on a deep, technical dive. He introduces us to the technology used to measure blower fan watt draw and refrigerant charge and the power of proper diagnostic methods and techniques.
After listening, you will better understand the “why and how” of getting these important parameters properly dialed in.
