Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0122896769 | ISBN-13: 978-0122896767 | Edition: 1

The Industrial Ventilation Design Guidebook addresses the design of air technology systems for the control of contaminants in industrial workplaces such as factories and manufacturing plants. It covers the basic theories and science behind the technical solutions for industrial air technology and includes publication of new fundamental research and design equations contributed by more than 40 engineers and scientists from over 18 countries.

Readers are presented with scientific research and data for improving the indoor air quality in the workplace and reducing emissions to the outside environment.

The Guidebook represents, for the first time, a single source of all current scientific information available on the subject of industrial ventilation and the more general area of industrial air technology. New Russian data is included that fills several gaps in the scientific literature.

* Presents technology for energy optimization and environmental benefits
* A collaborated effort from more than 60 ventilation experts throughout 18 countries
* Based on more than 50 million dollars of research and development focused on industrial ventilation
* Includes significant scientific contributions from leading ventilation experts in Russia
* Presents new innovations including a rigorous design methodology and target levels
* Contains extensive sections on design with modeling techniques
* Content is well organized and easily adaptable to computer applications

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book is an excellent reference source and handbook of fundamentals related to industrial air technology. I would highly recommend it for anyone who designs or troubleshoots ventilation systems used for comfort or contaminant control or who evaluates the work environment and provides recommendations for control."
--Chemical Health & Safety, Jan/Feb 2002

From the Back Cover

The Industrial Ventilation Design Guidebook represents for the first time, a single source of all current scientific information available on the subject of industrial ventilation and the more general area of industrial air technology. Covering the basic theories and science behind the technical solutions for industrial air technology, it is the first international handbook and includes publication of new fundamental research and design equations.

The Guidebook addresses the design of air technology systems for the control of contaminants in industrial workplaces such as factories and manufacturing plants. It addresses the scientific approach to improving air quality inside the plant and to reducing emissions to the outside environment. With the extensive and up-to-date material provided, the aim is to be able to design environmentally and energy efficient industrial operations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, October 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Industrial Ventilation Design Guidebook (Hardcover)

This is a totally useless book for practical use. It is only good for university research or if you are in the university. It does not help in solving practical day to day ventilation problems. The Industrial Ventilation Manual is 100 times better for practical use. I returned the book within one day of receiving it. Don't bother spending your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars best book for air flow jets and capture velocity calculations, February 23, 2011

This review is from: Industrial Ventilation Design Guidebook (Hardcover)

I am a thermal designer of electronic equipment and I found this book to be the only one on the subject that has a very extensive coverage of air flow jets and capture velocity calculations. These topics are covered in sections 7.4 and 7.6 of the book. It provides detailed calculations and formulas that can be used to calculate air velocities under different conditions. I use this book a lot when I design fans on electronic systems. All other similar books whether on HVAC or thermal design of electronic systems did not discuss these topics in enough detail that I could apply the information to practical design. I found this book to be very practical for actual designs and I disagree with other reviewers who said that it was too theoretical. Great book.

This review is from: Industrial Ventilation Design Guidebook (Hardcover)

A good reference source to search for other more specific books and papers but not enough practical data to do the design calculations I was hoping to find.

A good starting point for an HVAC novice.
