Book Description

ISBN-10: 0070665915 | ISBN-13: 978-0070665910 | Publication Date: March 1983 | Edition: 2nd

This is a thorough revision of the definitive, classic text for any level course on refrigeration, refrigeration and air conditioning, and environmental control in buildings. It is an equipment-oriented textbook that applies theoretical results of engineering theories to refrigeration and air conditioning engineering problems. This enables the student to understand both common and uncommon problems in designing, selecting and applying air conditioning and refrigeration components and systems. The material has been updated to apply to the new Environmental Protection Agency requirements and to the new technology developed in response to the energy crisis. New to this edition is a discussion of solar energy; coverage of the basic principles of acoustics and noise control (in relation to air conditioning systems), fans and ducts, pumps and piping, and air conditioning units. While all the material in the text can be understood and executed without computers, alternate computer solutions are shown for system simulation. SI units are used throughout.

This review is from: Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (McGraw-Hill Mechanical Engineering) (Hardcover)

This text pretends the analytical statement of the refrigeration and acondiontioning air jumps straightforward. And today, more than ever, specially in these times in which the environmental concerns are subject of first degree in every corner of the world.
How is it possible maintain the wished equilibrium between comfort and preservation of the environment? The sustainable development goes behind this aim, though in order to the true, the road is long. To find the best proficiency and rational employment of the Freon 12 is not so easy.
Population' s natural growth demands a major consume of this refrigerant. In order to satisfy the adequate welfare, all the regulations must be supported by the exhaustive search of a compound that eventually produced the minor possible damage and environmental impact.
More sooner than later this issue will be treated with First Character priority and its profound implications will be understood and assimilated far beyond an ideology or ideological posture .
This book offers a wide account of the most important tools, diagrams, hygrometric charts and an extraordinary well presented of the basic principles that rule this knowledge area.
