Fundamentals of HVAC Control Systems


Book Description

A hard copy companion to the eLearning course that serves as a practical guide to the principles and characteristics of controls, and how to apply them in the use, selection, specification and design of controls systems.




HVAC Fundamentals


Book Description

This master volume covers the full range of HVAC systems used in today's facilities. Comprehensive in scope, the text is intended to provide the reader with a clear understanding of how HVAC systems operate, as well as how to select the right system and system components to achieve optimum performance and efficiency for a particular application. You'll learn the specific ways in which each system, subsystem or component contributes to providing the desired indoor environment, as well as what factors have an impact on energy conservation, indoor air quality and cost. Examined in detail are compressors, water chillers, fans and fan drives, air distribution and variable air volume, pumps and water distribution, controls and their components, heat recovery, and energy conservation strategies. Also covered are heat flow fundamentals, as well as heat flow calculations used in selecting equipment and determining system operating performance and costs.

2009 ASHRAE Handbook


Book Description

The 2009 ASHRAE Handbook-Fundamentals covers basic principles and data used in the HVAC&R industry. The ASHRAE Technical Committees that prepare these chapters strive not only to provide new information, but also to clarify existing information, delete obsolete materials, and reorganize chapters to make the Handbook more understandable and easier to use. An accompanying CD-ROM contains all the volume's chapters in both I-P and SI units.




HVAC Design Manual for Hospitals and Clinics


Book Description

Health care HVAC systems serve facilities in which the population is uniquely vulnerable and exposed to an elevated risk of health, fire, and safety hazard. These heavily regulated, high-stakes facilities undergo continuous maintenance, verification, inspection, and recertification, typically operate 24/7, and are owner occupied for long life. The HVAC systems in health care facilities must be carefully designed to be installed, operated and maintained in coordination with specialized buildings services, including emergency and normal power, plumbing and medical gas systems, automatic transport, fire protections and a myriad of IT systems, all within a limited building envelope.




A Practical Guide to Noise and Vibration Control for HVAC Systems


Book Description

Provides information for engineers, architects, contractors and other building industry professionals who have little or no experience with acoustical terms or concepts. Presents practical design guidelines to help minimize the possibility of excessive HVAC system noise and vibration in and around buildings, and by suggesting investigation methods to help solve existing noise and vibration problems.
