March 18th, 2008 2008年3月18日 · No Comments没有评论

Yesterday we wrote about our efforts to apply weather stripping to the enclosure of our electrical panel.昨天,我们写我们的努力,以适用于天气剥离,以圈地我们的电器面板。 This was because the energy audit we received in the late fall indicated a massive amount of cold air entering the house from that area.这是因为能源审计,我们收到的后期下降表明,大量的冷空气进入众议院,由这方面的工作。 This is bad news in both the winter and in the summer as it causes heated air to leave the home in the winter and cooled air to leave in the summer causing the heater and air conditioner, respectively, to work harder and longer than they should costing us money and consuming non-renewable resources.这是坏消息,在这两个冬季和在今年夏天,因为它的成因热空气离开家在冬季和冷却空气离开,在夏季造成热水器和空调,分别为,努力工作和时间比他们应该成本我们的金钱与消费不可再生资源。

We left off yesterday with two issues.我们的不放过,昨日与两个问题。 The first issue is that the door on the right of the electric panel enclosure does not close flush with the enclosure frame as shown in the pic’s below.第一个问题是,大门上的权利,电动小组圈地不关闭冲水与附文帧显示,在事先知情同意的下面。 The result will be quite frankly a waste of time and effort to apply the weather stripping if this gap remains.结果将是非常坦率地浪费时间和精力,适用于天气溶出,如果这种差距依然存在。

Lower Right Door Not Flush

The second issue was that there was a noticeable gab between the two doors when they are closed as shown below.第二个问题是有一个明显的甲两国间的门,当他们封闭,如下所示。

What solution did we come up with.有什么解决办法,我们想出了。 Well, a simple one.  I like simple.那么,一个简单的,我喜欢简单。 What we did was to apply the vertical weather stripping on the left side of the right hand door slightly protruding beyond the door.我们所做的是为了适用于垂直天气剥离对左边的右手稍微突起的大门之外的大门。 Not, much mind you; just enough so when the two doors would be closed together the vertical weather stripping on both doors would connect.不,更请注意;刚好够因此,当二门封闭起来,垂直天气剥离两地的大门将连接。

PRotruding Weather Stripping

Not only did this deal with the gap between the two doors, but it also kept the door on the right side flush with the enclosure frame.不但没有处理,这两者之间的差距门,但它也不断的大门右侧冲水与附文帧。 A win-win for sure.一个双赢的肯定。 Notice the black weather stripping between the two doors in the picture below.通知黑色天气剥离两国之间的大门,在下面的图片。

Flush Doors

The result is that no longer do I feel any cold air rushing out from the electrical panel enclosure.结果是,不再做,我觉得任何冷空气冲出,从电气小组附文。 What a difference.有什么差别。

And, remember that weather stripping is important in both the winter and the summer.和,请记住,天气剥离是很重要的在这两个冬季和夏季。 Remember your high air conditioning bills from last year?记住您的高空调法案从去年? Don’t wait like I did.不要等到像我。 Check your home for air leaks and apply weather stripping or caulking as appropriate.检查您的家,空气泄漏和适用于天气剥离或嵌缝适当。
