For two-semester courses in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, HVAC System Design, and Principles of Heating/Ventilating/AC/Refrigeration.
Using a minimum of mathematics, this text explores the fundamental concepts of air conditioning and their application to systems-explaining all concepts in a clear, practical manner, and focusing on problems and examples typically encountered on the job. It covers the latest, yet practical methods of load calculations, psychometrics, system design, and equipment description and performance.
