Bob joins Paul Costello and Lou Mazzini in the old dairy building to discuss the SpacePak high velocity hydro air HVAC system that's being installed in both the house and dairy. The system will provide both heating and cooling. In the winter a boiler delivers hot water to coils over which air is drawn. This heated air rises and is distributed at high velocity through plenum ducts running around the perimeter of the structure and on to room outlets through to 2" diameter sound attenuating tubing. The systems uses insulated fiberglass ducts which are coated on the inside to prevent mold and other growth. The system creates a pressure center in the room with a differential of two degrees between floor and ceiling. Cooling is accomplished by the same system only the air passes over different coils cooled by a refrigerants from 5-ton American Standard condensers situated behind the dairy. Domestic hot water will be provided by a very efficient indirect hot water system. The SpacePak system is particularly well-suited to restoration/renovation projects where space for ductwork is at a premium.
