2013 ASHRAE Handbook. Fundamentals. SI edition.

Author(s) : ASHRAE

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This Handbook covers basic principles and data used in the HVAC&R industry. Updated with research sponsored by ASHRAE and others, this volume includes 39 chapters covering general engineering information, basic materials, climate data, load and energy calculations, duct and pipe design, and sustainability, plus reference tables for abbreviations and symbols, I-P to SI conversions, and physical properties of materials. The Handbook is divided into the following main parts: principles (psychrometrics; thermodynamics and refrigeration cycles; fluid flow; heat transfer; two-phase flow; mass transfer; fundamentals of control; sound and vibration); indoor environmental quality (thermal comfort; indoor environmental health; air contaminants; odors; indoor environmental modeling); load and energy calculations (climatic design information; fenestration; ventilation and infiltration; residential cooling and heating load calculations; nonresidential cooling and heating load calculations; energy estimating and modeling methods); HVAC design (space air diffusion; duct design; pipe sizing; insulation for mechanical systems; airflow around buildings); building envelope (heat, air, and moisture control in building assemblies: fundamentals, material properties, examples); materials (combustion and fuels; refrigerants; thermophysical properties of refrigerants; physical properties of secondary coolants; sorbents and desiccants; physical properties of materials; general (energy resources; sustainability; measurement and instruments; abbreviations and symbols; units and conversions; codes and standards). The accompanying 2013 Handbook CD contains all the volume's chapters.
