(Кондиционирование воздуха) is the bringing of air in a building (до желаемых температуры, чистоты и влажности) throughout the year (для поддержания) healthy and comfortable atmosphere.
Air-conditioning (можно разделить) into two main sections: one (для обработки) of materials in industry; the other for human comfort.
It has been found that there is an optimum condition of (температуры и влажности) at which the (обработка) of different materials (может выполняться) with the minimum of wastage and the maximum of goods' quality.
The system is therefore designed to produce air of (предопределённой температуры и содержания влаги) and to keep it so (несмотря на все внешние воздействия).
(Системы кондиционирования воздуха) installed in office buildings (обеспечивают) control throughout the year.
(Полное) air-conditioning (обеспечивает) various services.
(Циркуляция) of the air (с низкой скоростью) and with proper (рассеиванием) to prevent (сквозняки) and maintain (одинаковые температуру и влажность) at all parts of the inhabited space is one of the services (которые обеспечивает) complete air-conditioning.
The basic pieces of (оборудования) are the (фильтры, нагревательные спирали, увлажнители, дополнительные охлаждающие спирали, вентиляторы).
Possibly the most efficient (фильтрующее устройство) is the (электрофильтр).
To avoid (духоту), the air should be given a certain amount of (движения).
15. Choose a phrase from the list below that has the same meaning as the italicized phrase:
provided ferrous metals is composed of quality is used humidifying the air remove carried out attic velocity residences possess different properties motion heated air
Materials used for construction purposes differ in the ways they behave in particular conditions.
Air is filtered both in winter and in summer to take away dust.
Among the aggregates concrete consists of, there are heavy and light ones.
The increase of the amount of moisture in the air to a relative humidity of at least 20–25 per cent in winter is made available by complete air-conditioning.
Warm-air registers bring air with a raised temperature into a room with a certain motion or the speed at which air moves in a particular direction which imparts movement to the air already in the room.
Air-conditioning for human comfort is employed in both large and small installations, such as theaters, office buildings, department stores, houses where people live, airplanes, railways, cars and submarines.
Sometimes a fan is placed in the room at the top of a house just below the roof to blow the warm air out and to cause the cooler night air to flow through open windows.
Metals containing iron are commonly used for construction of supporting members.
In summer time much greater air movement is needed, enough to change the air in a room completely from three to ten times per hour.
There is an optimum condition of temperature and humidity at which the processing of different materials may be accomplished with the minimum of wastage and the maximum of goods' characteristic.
