Air conditioning system design manual The Air Conditioning Manual was written to assist entry level engineers in the design of air conditioning systems. It is also suable in conjuction with fundamental HVAC & R resourcee material as a senior or graduate level text for a university course in HVAC system design. The manual was written to fill the void between theory and practice to bridge the gap between real world design practices and the theoretical caluclations and analytical procedures or on the design of components Introduction; The Design Process; Occupant Comfort and Health; Load Calculations; Components; All Air Systems; Air and Water Systems; All Water Systems; Special HVAC Systems; HVAC & R Controls; Appendix A: Proposed Mechanical and Electrical Systems for an Office Building with Retail Stores; Appendix B: Design Calculations for a Typical Single zone HVAC System; Appendix C: Design Calculations for a Single Duct VAV System; Appendix D: An All Water System; Appendix E: Preliminary Comparison of Conventional and Ice Storage Systems for a Four Story Office Building; Appendix F: Controls
