DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF CENTRAL AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

The guide describes the HVAC design process as a sequence of interrelated calculations and procedures recommended by ASHRAE handbooks and standards. The guide will walk you step-by-step through the entire process from development of the HVAC design concept to preparation of the drawings.

The HVAC design is explained at an advanced level to satisfy needs of a wide range of readers with different level of expertise. Beginners may study the guide on the high level with focus on the flow of the design procedures, the input and output data interpretation and other information on how to do the design. An expert can take an inside view on the algorithm and rationale of a specific calculation method and find answers on other "low level" questions.

Tutorials at the end of each chapter demonstrate the application of the described procedures. In addition, the guide will instruct you on how to design a constant air volume system for a public building.A set of drawings will accompany the design progress.

The guide adopts reference tables from various handbooks and standards required to design HVAC systems for commercial and public buildings. You do not need to purchase any additional literature!

Schematics, pictures and other means of associative thinking widely used throughout the guide make the learning process easier.

The guide is a 250-page script provided in electronic PDF-format.
