This comprehensive book is designed to provide you with knowledge and skills you need to inspect air conditioning systems and heat pumps like an experienced, professional home inspector.
This expanded edition of David Chadderton's Air Conditioning is a textbook for undergraduate courses in building services and environmental engineering, and for BTEC continuing education diploma, higher national diploma and certificate courses in building services engineering. It will also be of considerable help to students on national certificate and diploma programmes. The book includes a new chapter on application of fans to airduct systems.
A classic in its field, "Air Conditioning Principles and Systems" continues to fill the need for a text book on air conditioning systems that combines design principles with real-world applications. Readers will gain insight into the design, operation, and troubleshooting of new and existing air conditioning systems. Moreover, this edition has been updated to reflect recent developments and issues in the industry, including the increasing use of the Internet in the field." "Key features of this edition: " -- New weather data for outside temperature analysis and system design. -- Expanded information on environmental problems to help readers stay current on issues and regulations. -- New information about asbestos, including answers about mitigation of harmful effects. -- Further exploration on scroll compression and how it works in real-world applications.
This text provides a guide to the specification and application of all types of commercial and residential air conditioning equipment. It guides the reader through each step of the process of proper system design, including equipment selection, sizing, placement and installation.
This book presents the most current design procedures in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), available in handbooks, like the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) Handbook-2013 Fundamentals, in a way that is easier for students to understand. Every effort is made to explain in detail the fundamental physical principles that form the basis of the various design procedures.A novel feature of the book is the inclusion of about 15 worked examples in each chapter, carefully chosen to highlight the diverse aspects of HVAC design. The solutions for the worked examples clarify the physical principles behind the design method. In addition, there are problems at the end of each chapter for which numerical answers are provided. The book includes a series of MATLAB programs that may be used to solve realistic HVAC design problems, which in general, require extensive and repetitive calculations. remove Supplementary materials are available upon request for all instructors who adopt this book as a course text.

This book was created to direct readers the right way of installing different types of air conditioning units. Cooling equipment is necessary equipment needed by humans. With the ever warming temperature and increasing humidity of the environment, installing air conditioning units at home and at work area is vital to productivity. The history of air cooling systems is mentioned in the first chapter where it was mentioned that it originated from the Ancient Egypt. Ancient Romans followed what the Egyptians started while the Persians continued then trend. It was not until an American engineer developed the model of the modern units we use today. Chapter two of How to Install Air-Conditioning i...
Cooper demonstrates how the lure of the open air, from rooftop schoolrooms to open-air theaters to the front porch, challenged air conditioning. Americans were slow to give up the social rituals of hot-weather living - the cold drink, the cool clothes, the summer vacation - for the comforts of either the window air conditioner or the central system.
An air conditioning system consists of components and equipment arranged in sequential order to control and maintain an indoor environment. The goal is to provide a healthy and comfortable climate with acceptable air quality while being energy efficient and cost effective. Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering covers all types of systems from institutional and commercial to residential. The book supplies the basics of design, from selecting the optimum system and equipment to preparing the drawings and specifications. It discusses the four phases of preparing a project: gathering information, developing alternatives, evaluating alternatives, and selling the best solution. In addition, the author breaks down the responsibilities of the engineer, design documents, computer aided design, and government codes and standards. Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering provides you with an easy reference to all aspects of the topic. This resource addresses the most current areas of interest, such as computer-aided design and drafting, desiccant air conditioning and energy conservation. It is a thorough and convenient guide to air conditioning and refrigeration engineering.
