ISBN: 9798163625673 - applications of hvac water chillers and cooling towers: a system-selection reference to plant configuration, lifecycle performance, and commissioning for mechanical engineers (1 Ergebnisse)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Select the whole plant-not just the machine. Applications of HVAC Water Chillers and Cooling Towers is a professional reference for mechanical engineers, HVAC designers, commissioning providers, facility engineers, and experienced technicians who must turn a cooling duty into a reliable central plant. It closes the gap between catalog performance and field application by connecting load shape, climate, temperature, hydraulics, heat rejection, controls, water, access, safety, and lifecycle economics. The Application-Fit Decision Matrix carries every major choice through duty, boundary conditions, evidence, coordination, and consequence. The book progresses from application thinking and corrected performance through chiller technology, modular sizing, chilled-water configurations, pumps, piping, condenser-water systems, tower selection, controls, resource economics, special modes, specialized facilities, water management, commissioning, troubleshooting, and retrofit. Calculations remain tied to physical meaning, while chapter matrices preserve the assumptions and acceptance criteria that procurement and commissioning teams need. Inside, You Will Find Load-profile methods for capacity, module, turndown, and redundancy decisions Application guidance for air-cooled, water-cooled, centrifugal, screw, scroll, magnetic-bearing, and absorption machines Hydraulic analysis for primary-secondary, variable-primary, district, pumping, pressurization, valve, and low-delta-T decisions Cooling-tower selection using range, approach, wet-bulb, cell arrangement, siting, acoustics, drift, plume, and freeze exposure Whole-plant sequences with proofs, delays, staging, reset, optimization, fallback states, and alarms Lifecycle methods spanning energy, water, treatment, sewer, maintenance, replacement, downtime, and measurement Heat-recovery, waterside-economizer, thermal-storage, data-center, healthcare, process, campus, and climate-specific applications Narrated worked examples, native engineering equations, technical figure briefs, and the indexed Application-Fit Matrix Compendium Keep this reference beside the basis of design, equipment selections, controls narrative, and commissioning plan whenever a central cooling plant decision must survive real operating conditions.…
