Heat Pump Wiring

Pipelines, wiring support city from below

There’s more to a city than meets the eye. Even Logan, with its green parks, flowering trees and clean-swept sidewalks, hides a maze of infrastructure just a few feet under its seemingly pristine surface. Lurking just out of sight, hundreds of feet of power lines, water mains, and unseen access tunnels snake their way under streets, buildings and even your yard. But this is not the Twilight Zone. This is the underground world of Logan, Utah.

Eighteen inches to 30 feet underground: natural gas

“There is a (natural gas) pipe running down every street in Cache Valley, and one for every house that has natural gas,” said Darren Shepherd, Questar Gas spokesman. He said the Utah gas company, which serves other states in the Intermountain West as well, serves about 50,000 homes in the Cache Valley area, with just over 230 miles of underground pipe in Logan alone. That’s slightly less than one-one-hundredth of the more than 25,000 miles of Questar pipe in the state of Utah, which, if laid end-to-end, would be slightly longer than the circumference of the earth.

Shepherd said the pipes that typically run underneath people’s yards are 1/2 inch in diameter, made of plastic and carry 45 pounds per square inch of pressurized gas, slightly higher than the pressure in the average car tire. Once the gas reaches a home, it goes through a regulator and is reduced to only four ounces of pressure per square inch, which Shepherd said would feel about the same as someone’s breath against your hand.

The gas lines that run underneath a residential street are slightly larger, at two to four inches in diameter, and those underneath busier streets and open space areas in Logan can reach up to one foot in diameter, Shepherd said. Any pipe larger than six inches is made of steel, and, depending on the time of year and the number of people using it, he said the larger lines can carry up to 500 pounds of pressure per square inch — the pressure equivalent of a jet engine. If Logan’s one-foot lines can carry jet-engine-like pressures, imagine the pressure carried in the interstate transmission lines from which Questar and other utility companies buy their natural gas. Those lines reach close to four feet in diameter, carrying gas to Utah from Wyoming and throughout the Rocky Mountain region. And Shepherd said “nearly all of it comes from North America.”

When circumnavigating a river, the natural gas lines can reach a depth of 20 to 30 feet, Shepherd said, but three feet is the norm for lines underneath the streets and a depth of 18 inches is the most common for lines that cross private property. But that can depend on what types of excavation and landscaping have been done on the property, he said.

When you want to turn on your Baseboard Heaters, you simply call your vacation home and via the voice menus, switch the position of the 'Remote Switch' to T1. This supplies power to the relay which then closes the circuit supplying power to your baseboard heaters. When they have power, they then turn on and attempt to heat up to the pre-set temperature setting on the thermostat. If you want to check if it switched on properly, just call your FreezeAlarm a few hours later and check what the current temperature is inside your.The above wiring diagram is provided only for informational purposes.
