5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Guide on Industrial Ventilation, August 20, 2001

The Industrial Ventilation Manual will teach both the beginner and longtime veteran about moving air. Simple to understand, yet the mathematical calculations and charts are there for the hardcore designers. Kudos to the ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists). They have not rested on their laurels. They have continued to improve and add to this definitive guide on industrial ventilation.

3.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive Ventilation Design Guide, February 12, 2002

This review is from: Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice (Hardcover)

No surprise, it is easy to used as the desk reference like SMACNA " HVAC Systems Duct Design" & " HVAC Duct Construction Standards". It will not use impractical formula with no actual parameters given as contrast with others.

The most impressive issues in Chapter 1'General Principles of Ventilation' is " Blowing Versus Exhausting Figure 1-7", which let us clearly to know : Oh! why we need more carefully when considering /sizing the exhausting system.

This book also features with many simple to use illustrations and tables, which will not take you too much time to read it all.

I have to say, it is the most been referenced handbook in many other HVAC publications, because it also includes many industrial environment condition, as I said in the very beginning, if you are an HVAC engineer, you should have this one and review this one before your design work commencement.

This book laid out clear, concise, technical information needed to engineer an industrial dust/fume collection system from the ground up. Anyone with a technical background can quickly come up to speed and create high performance ventilation system with this single source. The only negative feature (which kept me from giving the book 5 stars) is additional examples would of been of greater help for someone with limited experience in vent designs.
