That will be twice the number sold in promise to be the residential heating and cooling unit of the future but they have been around for some time. Twenty-fiv- e years ago the Rising costs and fuel shortages have contributed to a renewed interest in heat pumps, and it is predicted pumps. Also, design improvements have created a new generation of reliable efficient and energy-savin- g heat pumps. transfer system, like a refrigerator or air con- ditioner and it performs the dual functions of heating and cooling. During winter, the heat pump captures heat from outdoor air and transfers it into the home. In 1976. first factory-mad- e heat pumps rolled off the production line.

Most hypothermia deaths occur when the temperature zero temperatures, but many people now involved in outdoor activities in remote areas may not be aware of the threat of hypothermia, says Jim Savage, a safety ex- coordinator who advises employees of RJR Archer, Inc., about safety on and off the job. Outdoor enthusiasts are normally cautious about the dangers of ice, snow and sub is between 30 and 50 degrees, he explains. The malady can strike in Spring and early Summer as well as Fall and Winter. Beware of Change Hypothermia most often occurs when the weather suddenly changes to rain and wind and a person is far from heated shelter, says Savage.

As air inside the home circulates past the indoor coil, n the refrigerant gas condense within the tubing to become a heat-lade- high-pressur- e, warm liquid. In the condensing, refrigerant gives off heat to die indoor air stream, and a fan and duct system distributes die warmed air through the home. The refrigerant is then forced through an expansion valve into the oudoor coil as , a liquid with a temperature below that of the outdoor air on most winter days. Attracting heat from the outdoor air as it passes through the outdoor coil, the liquid refrigerant evaporates to a gas. As a cool gas, it then travels to the pumps re compressor.

Hie Outreach office is presently located at the Magna Community Council building on 3141 South 8560 West. In addition, they meet with people in their homes or in other community centers; however, the team is available each Tuesday from 1:30 until 5 p.m. for referrals and community work. They are also available through the Granite Community Mental Health Center the other days of the week. You can reach them by calling extension 224. The time for help is when the problem begins. No one needs to be at the breaking point before they ask for help with their emotional problems. There are many situations in which people are not able to cope such as during family crisis like a divorce in the family, a death in the family, moving from one place to another, or a new child. Each of these represents a.change or an adjustment which may become overwhelming and hard to handle. They are pimarily trying to inform people about mental health services. The team consists of a team leader and eight to ten team members; the current team leader is Bernadette Martinez. Other team members include Tim Butler, Janette Salazar, Elaine Montoya, Harry Gregory, Virginia Salazar, Donna Cintron, and Funiko Bradley. At the present time the team has visited Webster, Brock-banand Cyprus schools in an effort to inform young people of mental health problems and how to prevent crisis. Also they attend the monthly Magna Community Council meeting to maintain awareness of the community projects. The fee for services is based on a sliding scale meaning the fee depends on your income and financial state. For those who speak only Spanish, Spanish speaking counselors are available. The Granite Community Mental Health Center is under the direction of Dr. Michael Fodham, Executive Director and Dr. Norman Anderson, Clinical Director. The Adult Day Care Unit is under the direction of Dr. Javier Saenz; the Magna Outreach Team is part of this Unit. 487-584- 1, k, |
