For those who experienced discoloration (cannot say the “m” word here) atop your air handler, improper plenum construction and implementation is most likely the cause. One of the many hands-on tasks at HVAC Technical Academy concentrates on is proper supply plenum construction and attachment.
There are two primary types: the supply plenum, which distributes air from the system to the home, and the return plenum, which pulls air from the home back into the system.
In a way, supply and return plenum acts as a “traffic manager” for air, ensuring consistent pressure and temperature regulation.
When it comes to system swaps, proper air distribution is essential to air flow and cooling efficiency.
One of the many hands-on tasks at HVAC Technical Academy is constructing supply plenum.
This is Kevin from HVAC Technical Academy, and I’ll be here today to talk to you guys about duck board and cutting duck work.
More than a simulation, it’s all about air flow. Every participant got their hands in the mastic, tape, flex, and design. Now the group will be introduced to even more HVAC opportunities.
After creative design work, the group completed flex work as not the lab is close to complete. Over the next two weeks we will be troubleshooting and getting down to HVAC hands on basics.
