Mr. Sugarman has provided HVAC&R training for many organizations such as AEE, ARS, ASHRAE, EPA and NEMI and has updated the second edition of HVAC Fundamentals to cover the latest technology advances and terminology. This book covers the full range of HVAC systems used in today's facilities. You'll find all the details necessary to clearly understand how HVAC systems operate. Comprehensive in scope, the book separates out each of the major HVAC system components and controls for air, water, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, clearly illustrating the way each system, subsystem, control or component contributes to providing the desired indoor environment. You'll learn why one component or system may be chosen over another with respect to design, application, energy conservation, indoor air quality, and cost. The second edition also adds a brand new chapter on psychrometrics. Fully examined are heat flow fundamentals, as well as the heat flow calculations used in selecting equipment and determining system operating performance and costs. Fluid flow fundamentals and equations, and basics of system testing and verification of system performance are also covered.

Compiled by a top consultant, Sam Sugarman has led over 250 HVAC seminars and in-house training programs, this manual helps you make sure that your HVAC systems provide maximum performance at minimum cost. You'll see how to test HVAC components, measure system operation, and take all the right steps to: reduce component stress and corrosion to minimize replacement cost...prevent redundancy in existing systems so you don't spend precious energy dollars for nothing...correct design and installation flaws that make it impossible for HVAC systems to run at peak efficiency...increase HVAC system safety to protect all workers and occupants from injury and adverse conditions...train technicians, mechanics, and operators to work more productively and independently.

Featuring hundreds of easy ways to improve HVAC performance, including how to: adjust fans, set pump flow, reduce simultaneous heating and cooling, adjust air outlets and inlets, measure velocity pressure, determine velocity head, balance systems, relieve pressure, reduce thermal losses, regulate air flow, stop valve chattering, correct system effect, improve heat transfer, increase boiler efficiency, change water volume, minimize horsepower requirements, stop leaks, prevent freeze-up of coils, and much more.
