Frequently Asked Questions

My plugs are showing heat on the ground strap but the porcelain is still dark?

Nitrous Express Carbureted Frequently Asked Questions
You have the timing close but you are running too much fuel. Reduce the pressure to the fuel solenoid slightly and take another plug reading with a fresh set of plugs.

My plugs are dark and sooty and show no heat at all, what does this mean?

Nitrous Express Carbureted Frequently Asked Questions
When tuning the motor by reading the plugs you should start by getting the plugs clean. To do this you must lower the fuel pressure to the fuel solenoid a little at a time until the plugs porcelain cleans up. Once you have it running clean then you can start tuning the ignition timing.

Q9. Do my multi ground electrode plugs outperform single ground plugs?

Spark plugs FAQ
A9. In most cases, no. The additional electrodes disturb the flow of gases around the spark plug tip and performance may even be reduced. In addition, for high performance applications the additional metal within the combustion chamber will retain more heat and may be more prone to detonation/pre ignition.

How do I plant my ground cover plugs?

Mays Greenhouse~FAQ
If the soil is really hard or clay, first you must condition the soil with a soil conditioner or add Gypsym to the soil. Then, space the plugs about 8-12 inches apart and stagger the next row. Water them in well and keep well watered the first year until they are established.

How do I Place the Plugs into the ground?

Frequently Asked Questions
Mark the area to be plugged with your desired spacing. Stagger the rows as in figure 1. At each plug location drill a hole about 1 1/4 inch deep. If you are planting a small amount of plugs, a 1-1/4 inch drill bit can be purchased at a hardware store. If you are planting a large number of plugs you might want to consider purchasing the 18 inch Soil Auger in our "Store".

Q9. Do my multi ground electrode plug outperform single ground plugs?

Spark plugs FAQ
A9. In most cases, no. The additional electrodes disturb the flow of gases around the spark plug tip and if anything performance is reduced.

Can I install a ground source heat exchanger myself?

What is geothermal? | Frequently Asked Questions
It's not recommended. Thermal fusion of the pipe, drilling and trenching are procedures best handled by licensed professionals. Nonprofessional installations may result in less than optimum performance, which could cancel out anticipated savings

How is heat transferred between the ground and the building?

ABOUT EESC
a fluid is circulated through the buried pipe, it attracts heat from the surrounding ground; the further the fluid flows, the more heat it can extract. When the warm fluid returns to the compressor, heat is taken from the fluid and transferred to the heat pump, where it warms air prior to circulation throughout the building.

Can I install an ground heat exchanger myself?

ABOUT EESC
It is not recommended. In addition to thermal fusion of the pipe, drilling and trenching are procedures best handled by licensed professionals. Nonprofessional installations may result in less than optimum performance, which could cancel out anticipated savings. Also, warranties are usually void if the system is installed by a non-authorized dealer.

What are DEC plugs?

head louse treatment and prevention FAQs
Skin can become irritated after using a pediculicide. This can result in the formation of desquamated epithelial cell plugs (DEC) which people often mistake for nits. This causes many caregivers to overtreat with chemicals thus continuing the cycle. If you are not sure if you are seeing nits, take a suspected nit on a hair shaft to your doctor and have him confirm the diagnosis by looking at the suspected nit under a microscope.

How do I get the heat from the ground into my home?

Capital Electric Cooperative, Inc. & Frequently Asked ...
There are several types of systems that gather the heat from the ground. The most commonly used are open-loop and closed-loop systems.

How does the ground provide heat in winter?

ABOUT EESC
The majority of solar radiation that strikes the earth is absorbed into the ground, and this heat is transferred into the building during the winter.

Can a ground source heat pump also heat water for hot water?

solar collector,solar controller, solar cylinder, twin coil,...
Yes, by using a device called a desuperheater. Desuperheaters are standard on some units, and optional on others. Producing high temperature water can be very inefficient with heat pumps by comparison to the standard COP rating. The WRB series heatpumps do not have a desuperheater facility.

Are ground source heat pumps a good heat source?

Radiantec : FAQ Frequently Asked Questions, Radiant Heat, Sy...
We think not. The capital cost is very high and they consume electricity, an expensive source of energy. As far as payback is concerned, consider this: If a ground source heat pump costs $15,000 more than a gas or oil system for a 2,000 sq. ft. home, at 8.5% financing the payback is never. Finance charges would be $1,200 which would exceed the entire gas or oil bill and this is before the costs of the electricity required to run the heat pump.

What is the strap made out of?

THE CHAIR CADDIE FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
The strap material is called hook and loop. This material is very similar to the material that rhymes with WELCRO.

What is Porcelain ?

FAQ
Fine ground white clay, molded and fired in an oven for eight hours at 1200 degrees. Finished with a glazed, underglazed, or "bisque" finish.

Why is the image too dark?

NASA - JPL Solar System Simulator
If the "extra brightness" box is unchecked, check it. Each monitor is different, and many have differrent distributions of brightness to the naked eye (this is called "gamma").

Can I sail after dark?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Bareboat Charters
