Bryan from HVAC School interviews JD Kelly, known as "student of HVAC" on Instagram, about Delta T measurements in HVAC systems. This episode dives into the fundamentals of Delta T, common misconceptions, and proper measurement techniques. JD explains that Delta T is simply a temperature difference between two points of the same medium, which is often misunderstood in the industry. Many technicians are taught to measure between return grills and supply registers, but this approach can lead to inaccurate readings due to external factors like duct leakage or heat gain from attics. The proper measurement should be taken directly at the equipment to evaluate how the evaporator coil is performing. Humidity plays a significant role in Delta T measurements, which JD discovered when researching the fundamentals. Bryan elaborates on this point, explaining that in high-humidity environments (like Florida), more energy goes toward removing moisture (latent heat) rather than cooling the air (sensible heat), resulting in lower Delta T readings. This is why a newly repaired unit in a humid house might initially show lower readings but improve as the home dries out. The discussion highlights why the common "20-degree Delta T" rule of thumb isn't universally applicable and requires context. Key Topics Covered: Definition of Delta T: Temperature difference between two points of the same medium Difference between Delta T and TD (temperature difference) Proper probe placement for accurate Delta T readings Impact of humidity on Delta T measurements How regional differences affect expected Delta T values Relationship between CFM (airflow) per ton and Delta T readings Common mistakes: Adjusting equipment based solely on Delta T readings Challenges of applying Delta T in heat pump heating mode How temperature dead spots can affect readings Why Delta T readings must be considered alongside other diagnostic tests The danger of making unnecessary adjustments to HVAC systems Why high Delta T isn't always good and low Delta T isn't always bad   JD's Delta T tech tip: https://hvacrschool.com/solving-delta-t/  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Hot Springs Village Inside Out
Spring Has Sprung In Hot Springs Village (2025) – Don’t Fear Tornados

Hot Springs Village Inside Out

  Happy April Fool's Day! But rather than play a trick on you, I thought I'd show off how wonderful Spring is here inside Hot Springs Village. Thanks to Grok.com, an artificial intelligence search engine, we receive the following answer to the question, "What is a typical spring like in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas?" Spring in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, is generally a pleasant and mild season, characterized by warming temperatures, blooming flora, and a transition from the cooler winter months. Based on the climate of the region, here's what you can expect: From March to May, temperatures gradually rise. In March, average highs range from the mid-50s to low 60s°F (13-17°C), with lows in the 30s to 40s°F (2-7°C). By April, highs climb into the upper 60s to low 70s°F (19-23°C), and May sees highs in the upper 70s to low 80s°F (25-28°C), with lows warming into the 50s and 60s°F (10-18°C). Rainfall is fairly common, as spring is one of the wetter seasons in Arkansas, with April and May often seeing 4-6 inches of rain spread across several days. Thunderstorms can occur, occasionally bringing heavy downpours or even a rare tornado, though severe weather is less frequent than in flatter parts of the state. The natural surroundings of Hot Springs Village—nestled in the Ouachita Mountains and surrounded by forests, lakes, and rolling hills—come alive in spring. March might still feel a bit dormant, but by April, wildflowers like dogwoods, redbuds, and azaleas start to bloom, painting the landscape with color. The area's 11 lakes and numerous hiking trails become more inviting as the weather warms, and wildlife, including deer, birds, and squirrels, becomes more active. Humidity begins to creep up in May, hinting at the muggy summer ahead, but it's usually not oppressive yet. For residents and visitors, spring is a popular time for outdoor activities like golfing (the village boasts multiple courses), fishing, and boating. The mild weather also makes it ideal for exploring nearby Hot Springs National Park, just a short drive away, where the thermal springs and historic bathhouses are a year-round draw. Locals might describe it as a season of renewal—green returning to the trees, patios opening up, and a laid-back vibe as the community shakes off winter. Next, I asked Grok.com: "Does Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, experience many tornadoes?" Answer: Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, does not experience a high frequency of tornadoes compared to more tornado-prone areas like the central plains of the U.S., but it is not entirely immune to them either. Located in the Ouachita Mountains in west-central Arkansas, the village benefits from some natural protection due to its hilly terrain, which can disrupt the formation or intensity of tornadoes compared to flatter regions. However, Arkansas as a whole lies on the eastern edge of "Tornado Alley," and tornadoes can and do occur in the state, including in the vicinity of Hot Springs Village. Historically, Garland and Saline Counties, which encompass Hot Springs Village, see occasional tornado activity, particularly during the spring months (March through May) when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico clashes with cooler air masses. Most tornadoes in this region are weaker—typically EF0 or EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale—with winds under 110 mph, causing minor damage like downed trees or power lines. Stronger tornadoes (EF2 or higher) are less common but not unheard of. For example, the broader Hot Springs area has experienced notable tornadoes in the past, such as an EF2 that hit parts of Garland County in 1999, though it didn't directly strike the village. Data from the National Weather Service suggests Arkansas averages about 30-40 tornadoes statewide per year, with the majority occurring in spring and some in late fall. Hot Springs Village itself, being a large, spread-out community of about 26,000 acres, might only see a direct hit once every few decades,

A conversation with Jesús Areso Salinas, retired from work as patent examiner at the European Patent Office and now active with his project to fight climate change combining water, katabatic tower and mosture. Another record-breaking summer in the global north, where temperature records were shattered repeatedly, prompts us to ask: is there a sustainable future for places like the Mediterranean? Jesús wondered how does nature cool? and, crucially, could we help nature kickstart the cooling of ambient air?”Imagine cooling our surroundings during a heatwave—cooling town squares, vegetable gardens, or farms on a small scale. What if, over time, this approach spreads, with more people cooling their surroundings, allowing plants and trees to continue growing through the summer and helping to cool the air? Could this restoration of local cooling contribute to rebalancing water cycles, bringing back summer rains, and even creating a lasting cooling effect? Sure, we could retreat to air-conditioned spaces, but air conditioners only worsen the problem by using energy to move heat from inside to outside without solving anything at its core. And what about plants, trees, and animals? They need a humid, comfortable environment to thrive, yet during hot, dry summers, they're focused on survival rather than growth—or the cooling process essential to their function. Mediterranean farmers, in particular, take note: during the peak of summer, your plants and trees often stop growing because it's too hot and dry.So, how does nature cool itself? Through transpiration, plants and trees release moisture, which cools the surrounding air. However, as heatwaves become stronger, it's often too hot for them to function, meaning they can neither grow nor cool the air. This lack of cooling is a problem farmers and investors need to understand—especially those in warmer climates, where plants and trees may be unable to photosynthesize or grow for weeks on end. Cooling ambient air is essential, and air conditioning isn't the answer.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/jesus-areso-salinas.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.-------------------------Thoughts?
