m mMimm \^ We have a washed-oir cooling system which has good distribution and ample capacity but patrons complain of sultriness even though the weather may be moderate and the attendance small. A checkup showed that all DEVOTED TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDINI OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN THEATRES Questions and Answers On the nozzles were operating properly and that there was a good volume of air coming from all the outlets. Can you suggest what the trouble may be? Air Conditioning by GEORGE F. FRANTZ* the cupped side of the curved blades on the wheel face in the same direction as the air travels through the blower. \^ What is the major difference between a fan or blower used for exhausting, and one used for supplying air? V^ We have a good-sized woshed-oir cooling system and have plenty oi cool air "logging" out through the lobby and front doors but still many patrons complain of it being hot and stuffy in the auditorium. We have checked all the equipment and can find nothing wrong with it and are wondering if you can help us in this matter. *• Without seeing your system or plans it is rather difficult to be specific in answering your question. However, assuming that your situation is similar to the average, that is, the cooled air is brought in through openings on each side of the stage and expelled through aisle openings and the front doors, you will find that pockets of stagnant air foi-m at the rear of the house between aisles and between aisles and walls. Unless your auditorium is unusually short, the force of the incoming air is spent before it reaches these areas and as a result no circulation or cooling takes place. You can determine if this is true in your case by inquiring of patrons who complain, where they have been sitting and then charting the location on a floor plan of your auditorium. To correct this condition it is necessary to relieve such pockets by providing outlets other than the aisle openings in the rear wall so that the air will be free to travel uniformly across the entire width of the auditorium, and it may be necessary to connect such new openings to an exhaust system of ample size so as to aid the air in this movement. ** Your description would indicate that you are recirculating air from the auditorium through the washer which increases the moisture content to the point where all cooling effect is lost and in addition creates a "tacky," sultry condition. To correct this condition see that your fresh air inlet is wide open and that there are no other openings between it and the washer inlet through which air from the auditorium can be recirculated. Vc How often should the tank of our air washer be cleaned and the water replaced? ** You will never go wrong if you do this daily, especially if you operate long hours, or, are located where there is considerable dust and dirt in the air. In no case let it go so long that you can see an accumulation of sediment on the bottom of the tank or the formation of algae. V^ I have recently installed a small blowertype fan for exhaust purposes, and although it is operating at the recommended speed it does not seem to remove any air. I have checked the duct between the blower and the inlets to the duct and found it tight, and have also determined that the blower is rotating in the proper direction so am at a complete loss to understand what can cause this condition. ** In your particular case you will probably find that somewhere along the line someone has inverted the wheel in your blower. Make a checkup and see to It that ** Technically, there is no difference between fans or blowers used for these two purposes. Fans and blowers are primarily designed to move air and the use to which they are put determines whether they serve as an exhaust fan or as a supply unit. For example, if we have a room with an opening in a wall and insert a fan in this opening in such a manner that the fan takes air from the room and George Frontz delivers it outside of the room, the fan would be exhausting air from the room and be termed an exhaust fan. If we then take the same fan or blower and turn it around in the same opening so that the air is blown into the room from a source outside, it would be called a supply fan. V^ Can propeller-type fans blowers be used interchangeably? and centrifugal ** Except for certain instances, these two types should not be used interchangeably. The propeller-type does not develop much pressure and therefore it is not suitable for moving air through ducts. The centrifugal-type blower is capable of developing a relatively high pressure and for this reason it should be used wherever ducts are required. "President and General Manager o! Frantz Service Company, Denver, Colo. V^ We are figuring on a new cooling system for our theatre and would like to know how many degrees temperature drop the equipment should be capable of providing. Also, should it be designed to maintain a constant temperature of, say 78 degrees regardless of outside conditions? ** Many health authorities agree that a person should not be subjected to a temperature difference of more than 15 degrees in situations similar to attending a theatre, and some cities have ordinances to Because of the sudden change that effect. in either entering or leaving a theatre, greater temperature differences may be uncomfortable and prove harmful to patrons whose physical condition may not be the best. In addition to the above which should answer the second part of your question, the cost and space necessary to provide equipment to mairttain a definite inside temperature regardless of outside conditions, is usually prohibitive. Are You Confused? The subject of air conditioiung explained in common, non-teclinical. every-doy lermft becomes less baiiling to the man who wosts to buy for best results. 11 you are contused concerning the opplication of cdr conditioning to your theatre, write a letter to GEORGE F.
