Because the pressure in the hot and cold ducts of a dual-duct terminal may vary over a wide pressure range due to the demand for the hot and cold air varying throughout the building, it is important to have
- A.
An inlet vane
- B.
A sound baffle
- C.
A pneumatic motor
- D.
An automatic airflow control device
Correct Answer
D. An automatic airflow control deviceExplanation
In a dual-duct terminal system, the pressure in the hot and cold ducts can vary significantly due to the varying demand for hot and cold air in different parts of the building. To ensure proper control and regulation of the airflow in such a system, it is important to have an automatic airflow control device. This device can adjust the airflow based on the demand, maintaining a balanced and consistent airflow in both the hot and cold ducts. It helps in maintaining a comfortable indoor environment and efficient operation of the system.Rate this question:

Which duct system terminal unit has a manually operated damper that is adjusted when the system is initially balanced and then left in that position to maintain constant airflow?
- A.
Dual-duct
- B.
Induction
- C.
Single-duct
- D.
Variable-air-volume
Correct Answer
D. Variable-air-volumeExplanation
A variable-air-volume (VAV) duct system terminal unit has a manually operated damper that is adjusted during the initial balancing of the system. Once the desired airflow is achieved, the damper is left in that position to maintain a constant airflow. This type of terminal unit is commonly used in HVAC systems where the airflow needs to be adjusted based on the cooling or heating demands of different zones or rooms. By maintaining a constant airflow, the VAV system ensures efficient and comfortable operation.Rate this question:

How does the induction unit circulate air from the the room through the coil?
- A.
A fan is used
- B.
It does not circulate
- C.
It induces air through the coil
- D.
Air from a central unit is supplied
Correct Answer
C. It induces air through the coilExplanation
The induction unit circulates air from the room through the coil by inducing air through the coil. This means that the unit uses a process to draw or pull air from the room into the coil, allowing it to circulate and be treated or conditioned. The induction unit does not rely on a fan or the supply of air from a central unit to circulate the air.Rate this question:

Normally, the basic central station HVAC equipment in the air/hydronic unit is located?
- A.
In each separate zone
- B.
Inside the conditioned space
- C.
Outside the conditioned space
- D.
With the heating and refrigeration equipment
Correct Answer
C. Outside the conditioned spaceExplanation
The basic central station HVAC equipment is typically located outside the conditioned space. This is because the equipment, such as the heating and refrigeration units, needs to be housed in a separate area to prevent noise and heat transfer into the conditioned space. Additionally, locating the equipment outside allows for easier access for maintenance and repairs.Rate this question:

In a central station unit, heat recovery equipment may be placed between the outdoor intake and coils, and in mild climates, may replace the
- A.
Heating coil
- B.
Preheat coil
- C.
Cooling coil
- D.
Humidifier
Correct Answer
B. Preheat coilExplanation
In a central station unit, heat recovery equipment can be placed between the outdoor intake and coils. This equipment is designed to recover and reuse heat from the outgoing air to preheat the incoming air. In mild climates, where the need for heating is minimal, the heat recovery equipment may replace the preheat coil. This means that instead of using a separate preheat coil to warm up the incoming air, the heat recovery equipment efficiently utilizes the heat from the outgoing air to achieve the same effect.Rate this question:

The use of a retrun-air fan in central station unit is optional but generally is essential for proper operation of
- A.
Heat recovery
- B.
Larger systems
- C.
Smaller systems
- D.
Dehumidification
Correct Answer
B. Larger systemsExplanation
A return-air fan is optional but generally essential for larger systems in a central station unit. This is because larger systems require more airflow to properly circulate and condition the air in the space. The return-air fan helps to pull the air back into the unit, allowing for efficient operation and better control of temperature and humidity levels. In smaller systems, the airflow may be sufficient without the need for a return-air fan. However, in larger systems, the use of a return-air fan is recommended to ensure proper operation and performance.Rate this question:
