Publisher's Note Spec and install HVAC pumps with ease. Now it's easier than ever to select, install, operate, and maintain the right pump for any HVAC system--regardless of your level of experience. With HVAC Pump Handbook, by James B. Rishel, you get step-by-step techniques you can use to design the most up-to-date, high-efficiency systems in less time and with less effort--and use state-of-the-art digital electronic technologies to more accurately monitor their performance. You'll master all types of volute and axial flow pumps, and learn to dramatically reduce HVAC system energy consumption with variable speed pumping and piping systems. Ready-to-use formuals make complex calculations a snap, and handy tables give you at-a-glance access to crucial engineering data.
This practical reference offers HVAC designers, engineers, and technicians the latest methods for designing, installing, and operating both constant and variable speed pumps for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning water systems. Addressing the impact of digital electronics, computers, and systems analysis on the efficient design of today's HVAC water systems, the book covers: HVAC pumps and their performance ... the basics of HVAC water systems ... pumps for open and closed HVAC cooling systems ... pumps for HVAC hot water systems ... HVAC pump installation, operation, and maintenance ... selecting, installing, and testing HVAC centrifugal pumps ... wire-to-water efficiency of variable speed, HVAC pumps ... programming of HVAC pumps ... equations for calculating water flow, head, and energy consumption ... HVAC pump instrumentation and testing ... and retrofitting existing HVAC water systems. The book includes complete chapters on pumps for chillers, boilers, cooling towers, and ice and water storage systems as well as many case studies and solved problems, making it the ideal reference for anyone involved in the design or day-to-day operations of HVAC water systems.
