Comprehensive in scope, this second edition of a bestseller discusses 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. The author delineates specific ways in which each system, subsystem or component contributes to the indoor environment, as well as what factors have an impact on energy conservation, indoor air quality, and cost. He examines 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.
HVAC Fundamentals covers the full range of HVAC systems used in today’s facilities. This is a comprehensive book providing the reader a detailed description of how HVAC systems operate. The HVAC systems are divided into components and controls for air, water, heating, ventilating and air conditioning to clearly illustrate the way in which each system, subsystem, control or component contributes to providing the desired indoor environment. The reader will learn why one component or system may be chosen over another with respect to design, application, energy conservation, indoor air quality and cost. The book also covers heat flow fundamentals and the heat flow calculations used in selecting equipment and determining system operating performance and costs. Fluid flow fundamentals and equations, and fundamentals of system testing and verification of system performance are also covered in this book. This gives the reader a complete picture of systems from conception to operation. The chapters are organized in a way that one builds upon another and systems, components, design and application are revisited as the reader gains knowledge and insight about the workings of HVAC systems.
