How to Change the Pressure Switch on Your Gas Furnace

Your gas furnace is not working and you think that the pressure switch is bad. Here are some things to check and the steps to replace it. Replacing is not very difficult at all, in fact it is one of the easiest thing that you can replace yourself.

Your gas furnace purge blower runs and never shuts off but your furnace is not producing any heat. Or your igniter will glow, light the burners and then the furnace will shut right back down and try to recycle all over again. Either one of these conditions are common if the switch is going bad or has failed.

You can check the switch by placing a jumper wire across the wires going to the switch once the purge blower has started. If the burner lights and stays lit the pressure switch is probably your problem. Could be a weak blower, but I would try the pressure switch first; it is much less expensive to replace.

Once you isolate that this switch is faulty, then you can change it. This is very simple. For most furnaces the wiring is low voltage, so the risk of shock is minimal. You should still turn off the power to be safe. Remove the screws that secure the switch and then just switch the two wires over to the new switch and secure the screws again.
That's all there is too it a very simple operation.

Turn the power back on to the furnace. Re-fire the furnace and check the operation of the unit. It takes a while for the unit to cycle through the lighting process but you should have a furnace that now heats your house just fine.

Compressed Air Hose Leaks and Air Hose Safety

Ask a Question:

What does OSHA say about hose safety?

Answer: An OSHA guideline publication states:

Hoses, cables, and other equipment shall be kept clear of passageways, ladders and stairs.

OSHA says reduce your slips, trips and falls. Slips, trips and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents, which cause 15% of all accidental deaths, and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities. The OSHA standard for walking and working surfaces apply to all permanent places of employment, except where only domestic, mining, or agricultural work is performed. Consider adding reels to increase safety & efficiency with your electrical cords, welding cables, air hose, oil, grease, liquid/water or fuel hoses.

Ask a Question:

Why should my plant use Air Hose Reels with our air tools?

Answer: If your business or plant has multiple air hoses running from your air compressor to a variety of air tools, then industrial air hose reels can be one of your most effective equipment additions you will ever make, as well as one of the safest!

Here are 5 Reasons to use Air Hose Reels:

1. Efficiency

Hose reels make all your hose handling more efficient. An organized, clean workplace is proven to be more efficient.

2. Safety

Hose reels decrease you chances of injuries from tripping hazards. Reduce accidents and insurance expense: Slips, trips and falls are the leading cause of work stoppage in industry.

3. Protects Equipment

Hoses (and cords) last five times longer when stored on a reel. This can save you from replacing hoses as often.

4. Stops Leakages

Hoses on reels can reduce the threat of expensive air leakages.

5. Increase Productivity

Locating your air hoses when and where you need them increases productivity. All these factors help improve your work environment, which saves you time, equipment and money.

Have you ever wondered what that hissing sound is when you walk through your plant or shop area? Most likely it is a COMPRESSED AIR LEAK. But what about the air leaks you can't hear? Size cannot be judged by sound.

Do You know how much your AIR LEAKS are costing you? A Department of Energy publications states:

Compressed air leaks can account for 20% to 30% of compressors cfm output in small to medium size plants.

In other words- you could be losing up to 30% of your compressed air because of AIR LEAKS! That is your money leaking away! It is worth the effort to find and fix your air leaks.

Ask a Question:

How do you estimate the SIZE and COST of an AIR LEAK?

Answer:

Here is how to estimate the size of air leaks:

It is not very hard. We will use the "TIME METHOD" to estimate percentages of loss due to air leaks in your plant.

1.Turn OFF all air operated end-user equipment.

2.Start your air compressor and let it cycle 5 times.

3.Time the OFF-LINE/UNLOAD TIME (not pumping time) using your watch. (Example: 5 minutes)

4.Time the ON-LINE/LOAD TIME (pumping time) using your watch. (Example: 2 minutes)

5.Calculate total percentage of air leaks as follows: Add the OFF / UNLOAD and the ON / LOAD times together: Example: T(5 minutes) + T (2 minutes)= 7 minutes) Divide ON / LOAD time T (2 minutes) by the total minutes: 2 ÷ 7 = 0.29

The result tells you 29% of your air compressors CFMs are doing nothing but maintaining your AIR LEAKS.

How to figure the cost of air leaks:
Based on values from the Compressed Air & Gas Handbook, we can assume

4* CFM per air compressor horsepower. So, if you have a 100 HP compressor and the above determined 29% air leaks -use this formula:

100 HP x 4*=400 CFM x 29% (.29 air leak loss) = 116 wasted CFM.

As the chart below shows, you now know that you are losing over ,000 a year because of AIR LEAKS.

SIZE OF YOUR LEAK CFM AIR LOSS WASTED DOLLARS PER YEAR
Orifice -----Diameter------Inches

1/32 -----------1.6 ----------211.70

3/32 ----------14.5 ---------1905.30

1/4 -----------104.0 ------13665.60

1/2 -----------415.0 -------54531.00

These figures are based on values from the Compressed Air & Gas Institute Handbook. Calculations assume a conservative cost of $.25 /1000 cubic feet of compressed air, 100% coefficient of flow and working 8,760 hours/year at 100 psig.

2 Of The Best Exercises To Increase Your Vertical In The Off Season

Searching for some good exercises to increase your vertical? Well there are many exercises to increase your vertical some effective, some are not very effective.

Here I want to share with you 2 of the exercises from a great jump training program that I have found to be very effective on increasing your vertical leap.

Actually these are 2 of the best exercises to increase your vertical period. Every basketball player has different goals that they are working towards completing. These exercises will help you if:

you are a playground baller and just want to be the player that everyone is talking about at the court
if you are on your high school team or trying to make your high school basketball team, these exercises will help you to get the vertical leap that you are going to need to attract the attention of the coach and maybe even potential college scouts
even if you are at a more advance level like the college or pro ball, many coaches have used these same exercises with their team to achieve massive results on your vertical.

Okay, lets get to the best exercises to increase your vertical.

The following exercises should be done on Monday - Wednesday - Friday

On Tuesday and Thursday you can rest or play some light basketball.

Remember most muscle gains happen during the rest period and not during the actual exercises.

Always STRETCH and WARM UP before doing any of the exercises.

I have found the best way to warm up and get your muscles ready is to jump rope for about 3 to 5 minutes.

EXERCISE SQUAT HOPS

Squat Hops focus on developing all the muscles that you use for jumping off of 2 feet. So when you are jumping off of 2 feet going up for the monster dunk, you can thank squat hops for that.

stand tall in and athletic position with your back straight
get into a squat position low to the ground
raise up onto tip toes as high as possible
jump into the air 3 to 4 inches and keep it continuous
on your last rep it is important to jump into the air as high as possible with all your might(please do not forget this on your last rep it is important for your vertical gains)
after each jump that is 1 rep, do 25 reps in 3 sets
you should feel all your legs muscles being worked during this exercise

EXERCISE STEP UPS

Unlike squat hops, steps up will give your power needed to jump off of 1 leg. You see you can not go wrong with these exercises to increase your vertical. Everything you use for jumping is being worked.

you are going to need a sturdy chair bench or stool, anything that you can place your right leg on and thrust yourself up into the air as high as possible using only that leg
stand in the front of the object and place your right leg on it while your left leg rest on the floor
now, push yourself as high into the air as possible using only your right leg
in mid air switch legs and land with your left leg on the chair and right leg resting on the floor
after each leg is done that is 1 rep, do 25 reps in 3 sets

5 Fat Burning Bodyweight Exercises For Women

Bodyweight exercises for women are an effective tool to build strength and lower the body fat.

It can be done anytime, anywhere and without any fancy equipment - which makes it a great time saving way to build strength and fitness.

And it gets rid of any excuses for not training.

Here are 5 bodyweight exercises for women -

1) Reverse Crunch - knees bent, hands placed beside your hips flat on the floor, bring your knees towards your chin while exhaling. Your hips should come off the floor and slowly lower your feet to just above floor level. Do 15-20 reps.

2) Side (Plank) Bridge - lie on your side so that your body is rigid and straight. The only contact points on the floor are your forearm and the near side of your foot. Do 20-30 seconds.

3) Front Bridge - Lie face down so that your body is rigid and straight, the only contact points on the floor are both forearms and both sets of toes. Do 20-30 seconds.

4) Split Jump - Stand in a lunge position with one leg between half to a meter in front of the other, arms at your sides. Bend at the knees until your back leg almost touches the floor, then swing your arms forward and jump as high as you can. While in the air, switch leg positions so that you can land softly with the other leg in front. Repeat for 8 to 12 reps.

5) Push-ups; or if you are a beginner try the kneeling push-up (push up position but with your knees on the floor)

Bodyweight exercises for women can be adjusted as the fitness level improves.

As your body fat decreases and strength improves, adjust the exercises to make it more challenging.

For example, you can change the kneeling push-up to the same push-up from your toes. Or if you want to make it more difficult, why not adjust the position of your hands to continuously advance your muscle strength.

Other alternatives to make it more challenging is to increase the intensity like varying the repetitions, sets and shorten the rest period between each sets.

Best yet, why not do 10 push-ups followed immediately by 10 split jumps. Then rest for 60 seconds, and repeat again.

The aim here is to increase the intensity by alternating between an upper body exercise and a lower body exercises for greater impact.

Therefore, the higher the intensity, the better the metabolic impact you will have on your body.

If you want more fat burning exercises, try Turbulence Training - which is a combination of the best bodyweight exercises for women and interval training.

Regardless what you are training for, bodyweight exercises are very effective to burn body fat - either as an addition to your regular workout or even as a workout all by itself.

Bodyweight exercises for women isn't just providing you with a new and exciting way to workout - it's taking your health to a new level.
