Pita\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA classic in its field, this text continues to fill the need for a book that combines air conditioning design principles with real-world applications, giving readers insight into the design, operation, and troubleshooting of both new and existing air conditioning systems. Using a minimum of mathematics, it explores the fundamental concepts of air conditioning and their application to systems, explaining everything in a clear, practical manner and focusing on the kinds of problems and examples typically encountered on the job. The book begins by developing the fundamental principles of air conditioning, then moves into equipment and systems, with the underlying theme of energy utilization and conservation running throughout — each topic examined from an energy-conservation viewpoint, an approach considered essential for anyone entering the field today. This fourth edition adds new weather data for outside temperature analysis, expanded information on environmental regulations, updated guidance on asbestos mitigation, and further exploration of scroll compression in real-world applications. Designed for a two-semester course, it's used by students in air conditioning and refrigeration programs as well as by consulting engineers, contractors, and service technicians as a working reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTopics commonly covered include the scope and uses of air conditioning, physical principles, heating loads, furnaces and boilers, hydronic piping systems and terminal units, cooling load calculations, psychrometrics, fluid flow in piping and ducts, fans and air distribution devices, centrifugal pumps and venting, air conditioning and refrigeration systems and equipment, automatic controls, energy utilization and conservation, instrumentation, testing and balancing, and planning and designing the HVAC system. A dedicated chapter covers solar heating and cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStrong practical, job-oriented focus using a minimum of mathematics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHeavy use of website references for equipment specifications and HVAC design software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDedicated coverage of solar heating and cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUpdated environmental and refrigerant-regulation content for this edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWritten by a professor with direct HVAC consulting experience on major projects, including work for the United Nations and the U.S. Capitol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStudents in air conditioning and refrigeration technical\/college programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eConsulting engineers, contractors, and operating engineers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHVAC service technicians needing a working reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAnyone studying both the design and troubleshooting side of air conditioning systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAvailable at Prince Book Depot.
