Print this exercise booklet before studying the lesson on line. It will enable you to write your answers to the HVAC
learning exercises. You will thus be able to switch between reading or listening to the file on-line and writing in the
booklet.

CALCULATING WATER AND AIR FLOW RATES

PART-2
English lesson:
h ttps://hvac-learning.com/base-physics/physics-level-1/calculating-water-and-air-flow-rates-part-2/

French lesson:
https://formation.xpair.com/cours/calcul-pratique-debits-eau-air-partie-2.htm

For each exercise, you will write your answer, then you will study its correction on-line before going to the next
exercise.
If you cannot do an exercise, you will be able to study its correction directly, but force yourself to write your
answer as often as possible.

Note that between 2 exercises, you will find it necessary to study the course. As a warning, in the booklet, you will
sometimes find the following indication:
- “ Study the course on-line before doing the next exercise” or
- “ Study the course on-line before going to the next paragraph”

Only study the paragraphs or the exercises which have an equal or a lower level than the one your training
requires.
NVQ Level = Vocational Certificate
A Level = High school Diploma
HND Level = Associate’s Degree
MSC Level = Engineering Schools

Then, when you have completed a file, you will be able to assess your level on-line through a Multiple Choice
Questionnaire in which you will only answer the questions related to the themes you have studied.
So now off you go and work well!
Good luck!

N°7 – Power, flow and temperature differences with heat exchangers

training – A level
In our sector of work, when we talk of heat exchanger power, we talk interchangeably of “primary” and
“secondary” power, which we consider as equals.
Put another way, we consider that the total power lost on the primary is recuperated by the secondary.

Question 1
For the plate heat exchanger below, what is the power supplied by the primary side?

What is the power received by the secondary side?

Question 2
For the heat exchanger below, what is the power supplied by the primary side?
What is the power received by the secondary side?
What is the power of the heat exchanger?

Question 3
For the heat exchanger below, what is the flow in circulation on the secondary side?

Question 4
For the heat exchanger below, what is the flow in circulation on the secondary side?

Question 5
For the heat exchanger below, what is the water outlet temperature on the secondary side?

Question 6
For the heat exchanger below, what is the water outlet temperature on the primary side?

Question 7
For the heat exchanger below, what is, in [m3/h], the flow in circulation on the primary side?
