THE SCIENCE
MECHANICAL MAKEUP METHOD
1 Clean makeup air is mechanically introduced into the building through the heater. The volume of air is designed and controlled by the heater in direct relationship to the building temperature requirements.
2 Hot air rises and collects at the upper level of the structure.
3 The hot air that’s risen leaves the structure.
(The higher energy warm air seeking equilibrium with the lower energy colder outside air leaves the structure.)
4 The warm air, which escapes from the upper levels of the structure, is replaced by air being mechanically controlled through the dry-heat heater system.
5 Moisture created from by-products of the heater combustion process is flushed over time through
6 The tighter the building envelope becomes,
the less the heaters need to help and provide heat output. Energy savings is becoming more pronounced as the heaters cycle down to a lower output as the building requires.
7 Humidity levels on average stabilize at 35% - 45% RH, far below the ASHRAE and SMACNA humidity threshold of 60% RH.
8 Dry-heat design provides a clean IAQ environment with planned flush out and lower humidity controlled environment for the building materials. Materials to include concrete drying over the duration of the build, drywall, block and wood.
9 The building achieves a heat sync and all parts of the building, including the steel, concrete, slab, studs, drywall, tool boxes, etc., are at/close to the same desired temperature.
