1. Study the following words:
loop – кольцо, петля
outlet – выпускное, выходное отверстие
fin – 1) радиаторная пластина 2) стабилизатор
pump – насос, помпа
valve – клапан, вентиль, заслонка
One method of heating a building is to circulate hot water through radiators which are located in each room. The water is heated in a boiler by a burner and is kept at a constant temperature by a thermostat device called an aquastat. The aquastat is located on the outlet pipe from the boiler. The pipe runs in a continuous loop from the boiler to the radiators and back to the boiler. The function of a radiator is to transfer the heat from the hot water to the air in the room. Therefore they are made of a material which has the property of high thermal conductivity. The shape of the radiator is also important because the greater the surface area the more rapidly it gives off heat. One type of radiator, called a fin tube, consists of a number of thin fins shaped like a circle which are welded to a pipe passing through their centres.
A thermostat in the room can be set to the required temperature.
When the air temperature in the room decreases, the thermostat switches on the pump which is located on the return line from the radiators. When the room reaches the set temperature, the thermostat switches off the pump.
An expansion tank is provided to allow for expansion of the water as it heats. A safety valve, located on the pipe leading to this tank, serves to relieve the pressure in the boiler if it is too high.
2. Now look at the diagram and match the letters with the parts of the heating system:
3. Answer these questions.
What enables the inside of a building to be kept warm?
Which part of the heating system circulates hot water through the continuous pipe?
Which part acts as the room temperature controller?
Which part functions as a means of controlling the temperature of the water in the boiler?
Which part is designed to transfer the heat from the hot water to the air in the room?
Which part prevents the boiler from blowing up?
Which part serves as a device for heating the water in the boiler?
Which part enables the water to expand safely?
4. Make true sentences by matching these halves of sentences:
a) When the pump is switched on |
1. the aquastat shuts down the burner. |
b) When the temperature of the water in the boiler decreases |
2. the safety valve relieves the pressure. |
c) When the temperature of the water in the boiler reaches the set temperature |
3. the thermostat switches on the burner. |
d) When the air temperature decreases |
4. it flows into the expansion tank. |
e) When the radiator is turned on |
5. the aquastat starts up the burner. |
f) When the water in the boiler expands |
6. heat is transferred from the hot water to the hot water in the room. |
g) When the boiler pressure is too high |
7. hot water flows through the pipe to the radiators. |
Task 5
1. Study the functions of an air conditioner:
A) temperature control;
B) air cleaning;
C) odour removal;
D) germicidal treatment;
E) noise control;
F) air motion;
G) relative humidity.
Air conditioners are designed so they are capable of performing some or all of the above functions.
2. Look at the following list of the most important functions for the following spaces, and make statements like the example below:
Auditoria ACE
Commercial offices CBF
Apartments ACE
School classrooms ACD
Motels AEC
Example: In an auditorium, the three most important functions of an air conditioner are to control the temperature, to remove odour and to control noise.
3. Now make similar statements about what you think to be the three most important functions of an air conditioner for the following spaces and discuss the reasons for your choice:
hospital patients' rooms;
factory buildings;
computer rooms;
medical buildings;
hotel guests rooms.
4. Look at the diagram of a packaged air conditioning unit. Read the dialogue between a student and a lecturer explaining how it works:
A) four-way adjustable louvre;
B) thermostat control and OFF-AIR-COOL switch;
C) ajustable speed fan;
D) fan motor;
E) evaporator;
F) air filters;
G) fresh air opening at back;
H) condencer;
I) compressor.
LECTURER: Here we have what's called a "packaged air conditioning unit". It's called that because it contains all its parts in one unit. Now I've removed the front of the cabinet so you can see inside. Notice that it is located on an outside wall so that fresh air can be drawn in here. O.K. Can you all see? The air then passes through these aluminium air filters...
STUDENT: What is the function of the air filters?
LECTURER: Umm... Well it does what it says – it filters the air removing the dust so...
STUDENT: So, that's why it's dirty.
LECTURER: Err... Yes, but you are able to remove the filters for cleaning. In fact this one should be cleaned as soon as possible. Err… Aahem. Yes, then the air passes through the evaporator and...
STUDENT: What does that do?
LECTURER: Err... Well. That serves the function of cooling the air. You see, a gas is circulated through the condenser here. That's a cooling device which turns the gas into a liquid. It then passes through a valve into the evaporator here where...
STUDENT: Where the liquid evaporates.
LECTURER: Err... Yes, that's right. The liquid expands into a gas and absorbs heat from the evaporator which...
STUDENT: Absorbs heat from the air.
LECTURER: Yes. Now keep quiet will you and don't touch that.
STUDENT: What is the evaporator made up of?
LECTURER: Oh. The evaporator consists of cooling coils made of copper with aluminium fins. They are designed to absorb the maximum amount of heat. The cool clean air is now forced into the room through the adjustable louvre by...
STUDENT: A fan.
LECTURER: Yes, the fan here. I'll switch it on now so you can see how it works. Stand back. Now look. I told you not to touch that... (BANG)
