HVAC Design Sourcebook | |
This practical manual describes the HVAC system design process step by step using photographs, drawings, and a discussion of pertinent design considerations for different types of HVAC components and systems. Photographs of HVAC components in their installed condition illustrate actual size and proper configuration. Graphical representations of the components as they should appear on construction drawings are also included. Learn how to design HVAC systems accurately and efficiently from this detailed resource.

This is a great book.
I must say i knew very little about HVAC, and with this book i now have a little more insight of the world of HVAC.
I would like the book to have a bit more math in it, but then again it is a very practical book and probably it's best not to have that much math... Not really sure on this, as i haven't work, until so far, in the HVAC industry - i hope to work one day, though (Mechanical Engineer here).
It states some few equations as if they are universal truths and does not explain where they've came from. One may want to know where they've came from, and in this book he won't find the answer to it. This may or may not be a negative point, depending on the reader; personally, i would rather have those equations explained, but it is a personal matter. I think that despitie this point, the book still deservers 5 stars, if not 6.
If you are interested on learning more about how to estiamte HVAC loads, this is not the right book for you.
The book is not heavy on math by any means and so you won't find mass balances in it neither energy balances (apart from one or two examples, in which the author uses the realation q = m cp (delta T)). Evolutions of the air within AHU and the different process the air may go to are also not explained (it assumes you are already familiarized with them from previous thermodynamic courses or so).
I think that this book is a very practical book and i love the approach the author gives, explaining all in a very clear manner, but i also think that if you do not have any background whatsoever in Mech Engineering (and even if you have it), you need more than this book to really understand somethings in the world of HVAC, such as:
- the evolutions of the air within both the AHU and Terminal Units
- how to estimate HVAC loads
- understand more about latent heat within the zones and its implications
- predict the outdoor air requirements for ventilation (the autor gives more emphasis to VAV systems and in that sense it basically refers that the outdoor air requirements are 30% of the maximum air requirements, which is ok, but one would like to know more about this, probably)
Bottom line, the book is excellent, really a 5 star book, but the world of HVAC is just that big. So, it is impossible to have it all in just one "small" book. According the approach the author has chosen to follow, the book is awesome nevertheless.
As a last note: i have two more books about HVAC and i think that this one is the best one and therefore i won't ever get rid of it. Like i have said above, the other two books touch points that this one doesn't and thus i won't get rid of them as well.
Hope to help you with my review.
Solid info that when used with loss and gain and ductulator results in a duct system that is very efficient and almost balanced!
Excellent people who stand behind their products
So far from what I have read I would recommend this book to any entry level mechanical designer/engineer in the hvac industry. It is extremely useful with little bits of knowledge that may take longer for you to figure out by just learning on the job since most the work you will be doing out of school is project specific. This is a great guide to keep at your desk. The only down side to this book is the pictures are black and white. Would have been perfect if they were in color.
Great Book
