IICRC - Applied Structural DryingAir Filtration Device (ADF) - answer Commonly called an air scrubber or negative air machine if airborne particles need to be reduced, you could use an appropriately installed _______ ________ ________
Air Filtration Device - answer AFD
Assembly Construction - answer Prior to determining the best drying system for affected materials, restorers should identify and understand the assembly construction (ie wall assembly, floor assembly)
Category 1 - answer water originates from a sanitary source and does not pose substantial risk for dermal, ingestion, inhalation, or exposure. Uncontaminated and routinely cleaned
Category 2 - answer water contains significant contamination and has the potential to cause discomfort or sickness if contacted or consumed by humans
Category 3 - answer water is grossly contaminated and can contain pathogenic, toxigenic, or other harmful agents
Sewage Back Up - answer Category 3
Clean water supply line - answer Category 1
Class 1 - answer Least amount of water absorption and evaporation load - Wet porous materials - water loss is less then 5% of the area
Class 2 - answer Significant amount of water absorption and evaporation load - water intrusion where wet represents 5% - 40% of the area.
Class 3 - answer greatest amount of water absorption and evaporation load. Water intrusion where wet represents over 40% of the area
Class 4 - answer deeply held or bound water. Significant amount of water absorption
into low evaporation materials. Drying may require special drying methods, longer drying time, or substantial water vapor pressure differentials. Closed drying system - answer Uses mechanical dehumidification and is not open to outside air. Used if there are security issues, the outside air is not conductive to drying or when access to outside air is not possible.
Conventual refrigerant dehumidifier - answer Removes water vapor from the air by lowering the temperature of the incoming air to below dew point and causing the water to condense on the coils. Cold and hot surfaces created with gases inside a closed coil system.
Combination Drying System - answer uses some outdoor air with dehumidifiers to accelerate the drying process. This can include periodically venting (flushing) the structure, using negative pressure or using small openings to the outside
Desiccant dehumidifier - answer Removes water vapor from the air through absorption. Usually requires more amperage as compared to refrigerant dehumidifier. Desiccants create the lowest vapor pressure which work best on low porosity materials. When a desiccant dehu is drawing outside air and ducting processed air inside a building it can create positive pressure in the building. To improve desiccant dehu performance, it may be beneficial to pre-cool the desiccants air intake
Infiltration - answer High humidity outside air could affect the drying climate adversely due to ______________
1. Tightness of the building envelope
2. Prevailing weather
3. HVAC
4. Class of Water
5. Building Construction
5. Build out density - answer Favors that affect the detailed dehumidifier calculation is:
Detailed Dehumidification Calculation - answer See Chart: Cubic Feet : Divided by 70 = Base Pints per day
Multiply the 5 multipliers together: Build out density x building construction x class of water x HVAC x Weather Impact = Multiplier
Multiply Base Pints per day x Multiplier = Adjusted Pints Per Day
Dry Standards - answer The unaffected material readings are called ______ ______.
You know you can use this as your drying goal. Your drying goal is this plus 10% of it.
Drying Goal Calculation - answer Dry standard + (Dry standard x 10%) = ____________________
Why does demolition occur - answer 1. Removing Materials to eliminate safety hazards
2. Removing materials that have suffered primary damage and are not restorable
