HVAC: the handbook of heating, ventilation and air conditioning for design and implementation + 2 CD-ROMs.

Author(s) : VEDAVARZ A., KUMAR S., HUSSAIN M. I.

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This handbook provides instant access to all the data, calculations and equations needed for modern HVAC design and implementation. Each chapter and topic is self-contained to the greatest extent possible and emphasis is placed on graphical and tabular presentation of data that are useful for easy understanding of fundamentals and for solving problems of design, installation and operation. Extract from the table of contents: fundamentals; psychrometry; air-conditioning processes; indoor air quality and ventilation; load estimating fundamentals; heating and cooling load calculations; duct design; pipe sizing; hydronic heating and cooling system; hydronic heating and cooling system; energy calculation; combustion; air-conditioning systems; air handling and ventilation; steam heating system design; noise and vibration control; motors and starters; design procedure, abbreviations, symbols; climatic design information; US units and conversions. The handbook includes two very useful software packages: 1) ESP PLUS 2006 (Equipment Selection Program), from ITT, which provides calculations for the selection of equipment such as hydraulic pumps, heat exchangers and hydronic and steam system components. This programme also helps select commercially available equipment and components. 2) Trace 700 Load, demonstration version, from Trane, which is heating and cooling load calculation software that allows the designer to use detailed geometric, weather, and exposure parameters to accurately estimate load during the heating and cooling cycles.
