Cooling condensate is discarded?

What is a PO in Baseball?

Youth players who explore different avenues regarding various positions start to see which job suits them from the get-go. A few children can explore every available opportunity, hit, and pitch, all over one game. Over the long run and with expertise improvement, in any case, a few children figure out that they are the most appropriate to be a pitcher over some other situation on the field. This job is where the term PO in baseball, or "pitcher just," begins.

What Is a PO in Baseball
Contracted as "PO," a pitcher just will be only that, a player who just plays as a pitcher and no other situation on the field. This partition by and large begins to happen at the secondary school and university levels of baseball.

As the name shows, players in the Pitcher Only (PO) position will zero in their game totally on pitching, not hitting.

A decent level of mentors accept that a Pitcher Only enjoys upper hands over the individuals who don't exclusively assume that part. These players are, it could be said, detached from others in the group during training meetings.

While the remainder of the group is taking batting and handling drills, the Pitcher Only (PO) will chip away along the edge, fostering their pitches with a pitching mentor.

The hypothesis is that the additional time pitchers spend towards turning into the best pitcher, the better chances of the group winning. All things considered, the thought when on the field is to hold the rival group back from scoring. What preferable way over to have areas of strength for a staff?

A few mentors are not close to as severe with their meaning of a Pitcher Only. They can see a player's ability and what they offer that would be useful past what they can do on the hill. Some are extraordinary hitters, sprinters and can explore every available opportunity after all other options have been exhausted.

For example, look no farther than to Shohei Ohtani of the Anaheim Angels in Major League Baseball. He ruled at the plate, hitting 46 grand slams this season. He was likewise a refined pitcher, dominating nine matches, losing just two with an ERA of 3.18 and 156 strikeouts in 130 1/3 innings.

Pitcher Only FAQ
Does PO Mean 'Pitcher Only'?
It does, however not in all circumstances. For instance, in proficient associations, PO by and large alludes to a putout. PO in baseball exists at the secondary school and university levels to demonstrate that a player is 'Pitcher Only' and won't play one more situation on the field.

What is a PO in High School Baseball?
As recently talked about, secondary school and school baseball trainers frequently allude to players that simply throw as 'Pitcher Only.' This thought process has worked up contentions among baseball perfectionists who note that a player ought to chip away at all parts of the game.

In associations without an assigned hitter, pitchers should bat and essentially execute penance hits effectively. Albeit very few balls are hit back to the pitcher, assuming it works out, a pitcher should have the option to handle his situation.

Then again, some say zeroing in rigorously on pitching will best empower a pitcher to overwhelm at the specialty, which altogether influences the result of a game.

I fell in love with baseball from a very young age. I have memories of playing my first minor league baseball game when I was 7 years old.

I have in the past resorted to spraying the condenser with water mist when someone grossly underspecified a 150 kW chiller,but the resulting crud and corrosion just added to the problem and we ended up rebuilding the entire rig.

Given that your total water content is unlikely to exceed 10% and you don't usually want less than 5% in a working area, a small office will only contain about 300 cc of extractable water - probably not worth  the aggravation

Your modern window wall AC unit ( getting rare these days) does actually use the condensate water to cool the condenser coil, using a ring made as part of the fan periphery to sling it up into the air, and into the fins. Does work, reducing the energy needed to cool the coil a lot, but has a major disadvantage in that this condensate water is typically badly contaminated with whatever pollution was in the indoor air, and condensed out on the evaporator the thin film readily picks up all water soluble material and dust.

Then it flows down, out and is flung out and stuck to the aluminium coil, building up a nice film of non neutral water that over time breaks down the natural oxide film, resulting in the coil corroding. Have replaced many coils, where the outside still looked perfectly good, but removing the cover and looking into the inner surface the coil was just thin flakes of metal on the base, with the bare copper piping standing there, and the rest of the fins having been blown into the other rows, blocking them up. Wash from the outside with a hosepipe, and the water is black and with glitter flakes in it, and only after a few minutes the water will actually make it through the coil.

Split units the condensate is discarded into a drain, and generally you find after a year or two of operation that line has a thick film of black bacterial film growing in it, and also a good chance of clogging, unless you regularly clean the lines of the dirt and film. Window wall units now typically come with a 1 year warranty, but 5 years on the compressor alone, which you very rarely are able to use, because the compressor will still probably be fine at the five year mark, but the rest of the unit will be rust and corrosion with paint and dirt holding it together. Split units easily make 10 years, simply because they typically will have some form of service, at least cleaning the filters, and the coils will be either dry, or will drain and not build up the film.

Economics, redundancy, design life, safety, design specifi cation, access ability etc, to design in a system that utilises a water cooled exchanger you would have to ensure a permanent supply of water, plus you would have to design it to a specification to withstand liquid water safely with regards electricricity and reliably, plus you would need to supply piped water to it for when the condensate was not present, difficult to do in most places, pressurised water pipes are different to a residual drain outlet. Conversely you could have a dual system that operates wet and dry, pushing up prices and probably lowering efficiency on the dry side. Basically it's cheaper to make install and run a system designed for dry  only operation.
