OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS
All of this is leading up to the point of adjusting the system or making changes in the system — and even spending money to make changes in the system. Too many managers are "monkeying" with their systems, depending on a sort of sense of feel to determine whether it is improved. The result is that 50% of the ventilating and air conditioning systems in the theatres of the country are operated inefficiently , which means, with less effect than would be possible if they were properly adjusted and operated.
Circuit executives frequently make the mistake of walking into a theatre after a hearty meal and a few glasses of beer and ordering this or that done to the system because they feel over-heated. If they don't order specific things done, they criticize conditions so severely that the manager, next day before the show opens, makes changes which are not beneficial but which he feels he must do because the "big boss" was not pleased.
I was visiting a certain theatre right at the beginning of the warm weather, and I spent about twelve hours in balancing that system. Two months later, I visited the same theatre and for one hour listened to complaints about the system. The following day it took about three hours to set everything just where I had placed it two months before. The manager was loud in his praise of the improvements, but who changed the adjustment of that system after I had gone ?
Ventilation and air-conditioning is becoming more and more an exact branch of engineering, and less and less a trial and error proposition. If you don't know what to do, the best policy is to ask and not waste your time guessing. The chances are you will draw the lucky number in the sweepstakes before you will guess the proper setting of all dampers, louvers, splitters, and the speed of all fans, etc. — J-T.K.
