ASHRAE Publishes Principles of HVAC&R
A new textbook designed to also be used as a reference manual that allows
engineers to build on their knowledge of HVAC&R design procedures and methods has been
published by ASHRAE.
"Principles of Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning builds on much
of the basic information in the ASHRAE 2005 Handbook, Fundamentals, which includes
many significant changes," said co-author Ron Howell, Ph.D., P.E. "It
serves as a good source for many of the procedures or methods used in HVAC&R
design."
The book can be used as an undergraduate or graduate level textbook or for
self-instruction and as a reference for those who would like reinforcement
of their understanding
of HVAC&R.
Principles of HVAC elaborates on the use of technical guidance in the Fundamentals
Handbook, such as the new radiant time series (RTS) methodology, which includes
enhanced treatment of RTS procedures for non-residential cooling and heating
loads; a new chapter on residential cooling and heating loads; inclusion
of the new ventilation air procedure from ASHRAE 62.1-2004; and changes in
the
format
and quantity of design weather conditions around the world.
The book includes a CD that contains a spreadsheet for the RTS method and
the expanded weather data.
Also available is Principles of HVAC Solutions Manual, which contains solutions
to most of the problems in the principles book.
Co-authors are Harry Sauer Jr., Ph.D., P.E., and William Coad.
