2.
Reducing the mass of air coming out of an air outlet will result in the air travelling further into the space, i.e. a longer
throw.

True

False
*
3.
Reducing the velocity of the air exiting an air outlet will result in a shorter throw.
True

False

*
4.
The Coanda Effect is a low-pressure zone which forms between an air jet and the ceiling near an air outlet, what does
the Coanda Effect do?

Increase throw distance

Decrease throw distance

Increase drop distance

Decrease drop distance

Both A and D

Both B and C
*
5.
In cooling season, the air outlet location shown could result in uncomfortable drafts due to the convection current rising
up the exterior wall causing the air jet to come off the ceiling sooner than intended.  Where should the ceiling air outlet have
been located to reduce the chance of convection currents which may cause uncomfortable drafts?

Near the opposite wall discharging towards the exterior wall

Near the exterior wall discharging down the wall

Near the exterior wall discharging along the ceiling into the room

*
6.
In heating season, the air outlet location shown could result in uncomfortable drafts due to the convection current falling
down the exterior wall pulling the air jet further than intended. Where should the ceiling air outlet have been located to reduce
the chance of convection currents which may cause uncomfortable drafts?

Near the opposite wall discharging towards the exterior wall

Near the exterior wall discharging down the wall

Near the exterior wall discharging along the ceiling into the room
*
7.
In the case of a ceiling outlet mounted 2 ft or more below the ceiling, the coanda effect will not form.  How do you modify
catalogued throw data to account for this?

It is not necessary to modify the catalogue throw data

Reduce the catalogued throw data by 30%

Increase the catalogued throw data by 30%

*
8.
The Air Diffusion Performance Index (ADPI) uses the ration of throw over characteristic length to help determine the
expected comfort level in a space. In this drawing what is the characteristic length for this ceiling air outlet?

A+B

*
9.
Air outlet manufacturers catalogued sound data is based on ideal conditions as described in ASHRAE Standard 70.
Which of the following will influence the actual sound level in the field?

Inlet conditions

Balancing dampers

Multiple air outlets in the space

A and B

All of the above

*
10.
How should you adjust the catalogued sound data to represent the sound level for a diffuser located in the corner of a
room as shown above?

Deduct 3 NC

Add 6 NC

Add 9 NC

*
11.
When less than ideal inlet conditions are encountered in the field, what can be done to reduce the effect of these poor
conditions?

Install a balancing damper on the inlet

Install an equalizing grid on the inlet

Install an air extractor on the inlet

*
12.
The optimum location for a balancing, or control, damper is near to, or mounted on, the neck of the air outlet.
True

False

*
13.
Industrial ventilation applications typically see higher air velocities in the occupied zone, why?
Unconditioned air, less than 80°F, is typically used

The process generates more heat than a Commercial application

Workers move around more than in an Office Environment
