Air Conditioning Design

Description

This book on Low Side of Air Conditioning Design is an attempt to put all design related data at one place to help engineering students use this book as one step guide. It covers the design technique in a simple step-by-step method by first principles. The basics of heat load, Psychrometry, Applied Psychrometry, design of ducts, chilled water pipes, room air distribution and a whole lot of practical tips and information have been included in great detail for ease in design and planning.

Each section of the book has been explained with the help of various numerical problems. In some chapters, a few unsolved problems have also been included for the readers to practice. The book has been targeted to help undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as practising engineers in the field. Readers of the book may find many software applications covering all these details, but a detailed understanding of the first principles of design will help them understand the subject more clearly and enable them to use various software applications more effectively. Some reference data has been taken from Carrier Design Data Book and published with specific permission from M/s Carrier UTC Corporation. This data is in MKS system and has been published as such to maintain data authenticity. A conversion table is included in the book to help the reader convert relevant data into SI system.
