Handbook of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. Provides essential, up-to-date HVAC data, codes, standards, and guidelines. A handbook that provides practical and updated material on air conditioning and refrigeration systems, produced by an author with over 50 years experience as a practicing engineer under his beltWhether you’re an HVAC or mechanical engineer, technician, or student, providing an effective controlled environment through air conditioning and refrigeration technology is now within reach. This guide provides you with all the answers on AC and refrigeration systems-from designing and selection to operation and maintenance. Here you get it all – the latest in technological advances in air conditioning and refrigeration-in one unique volume. Air Conditioning and Refrigeration produces an effectively controlled indoor environment with an acceptable indoor air quality for health, comfort, and manufacturing processing. The goal of the Handbook Air conditioning and Refrigeration 2/e is to provide useful, practical and updated technical reference for the design, selections, and operation of air conditioning and refrigeration system. Because of the trend to use computer programs to calculate space loads, to estimate annual energy, and to perform duct and piping work design, the Handbook of Air and Refrigeration has become dated. In the first edition the Handbook provided data and charts for and calculations. Now most of this work is done on computer. Therefore the author is proposing to change the handbook so that it is directed at the computer user. He, also, intends to cover all the technological changes since the last edition in this rapidly changing field.
