I just got into hvac and am obsessed. Something about understanding refrigeration, thermodynamics, and air conditioning in general lead me to believe there are secrets about physics and our reality waiting to be discovered. We’re on the cusp of an energy management breakthrough and it’s somehow tied to the art and science of hvac.
Loved the question Eugene asked us the first day of commercial hvac class which was how much does the air weigh in our classroom. I cheated by asking Eugene at the end of the heating class I was in what chapter in the text should I read to get a jump on next semester. He told me the chapter on phycrometrics.
Finally thank you so much wish teachers talked like you. I'm not even a tech yet and everyone laughs when I talk like you. They just don't get it. Now I can show them
I had the privilege of having Eugene Silberstein as my instructor. He is a well crafted well spoken person that not only opens your perspective of things you'd never think to question, he gets you interested in an industry that would appear mundane to the average person. I recommend everyone check out psychometrics without tears along with all his other material.
The "Racked Manual" ? What's that? You called it THE BOOK FOR OUR INDUSTRY and then mentioned very little else about it. Could you provide a link to this resource?
Is there anyway someone could point me in the right direction of some books, training, etc. of air balancing on the industrial level? Please and thanks!
Thank you, love the explanations. 1 question regarding humidifier, when installing a furnace. I understand everything he said. But, why is it that you need a humidifier when installing a furnace vs baseboard heat where it's not needed as often? I was thinking it has to do with the the foced convection vs natural convection but it doesn't really work in my head. If I set the thermostat to 70° why would forced convection vs natural convection make a difference? Thank you Bryan I know you don't deal with this 😜 even though the weather was beautiful at the symposium, I still felt the humidity, I'm a new Yorker after all 🤣
Off the top of my head and not watching the video yet, I would say it may assume a natural draft gas heater where interior air is allowed to exit the building via the chimney to be replace by outdoor air which absorbs moisture from the home as its temperature is increased. Electric heat or direct vent gas appliances do not exchange room air for outdoor air during their operation, theoretically maintaining moisture inside the structure.
Incredible video, tactfull, thoughtful and well explained as always..Great choice of topic

Silberstein was one of the best teachers I ever had in school.

Son of a gun! That sponge example made it click finally! What I actually really appreciate is this guy’s understanding of how humans think!
I really needed this Bryan. Then you. I'm going to get his book on Kindle and try to devour it in the next couple days.
Thanks Bryan! I could listen to Eugene non stop. Love the analogies. He might have just dubbed "Hebrew HVAC". Thx for bringing him in.
=⑥😂 i oa Stup Hello I'm here aspires ok emprodes❤ E

Please add episode numbers! I've loved your content forever but trying to listen on spotify and on my way to work.
incredible...
man where was this video 7 years ago when i was studying refrigeration... lol thanks for the video!
Love the content and all his books. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great explained. Thanks
Was waiting for him to come on here! What’s up professor!
Good stuff guys good information thank you

Nice information Guys
How much does the dust in the air weigh?
When I first saw sycs I was like nah. Now still nah but with a little sass.

@@gordonborsboom7460 but we see the same need for humidifiers with 90+% furnaces.
Türkçe alt yazı neden yok ☹
Good video, good teacher, but am I really to believe he's had ENGINEERS say the air weighs nothing? If that's legit I'm stunned.
I see enthalpy all over his face .
