Features: This book starts with fundamental knowledge such as the thermal and moisture conduction of building envelopes, load calculations, and indoor and outdoor design conditions, and systematically introduces energy management and control systems, heating systems, heat pumps, heat recovery, gas refrigeration, cogeneration systems, refrigerants, refrigeration cycles, refrigeration systems, and refrigeration equipment. It covers the composition of air conditioning systems, including fans, coils, filters, and humidifiers, packaged air conditioning units and split-system air conditioning units, evaporative cooling systems and evaporative coolers. The book also discusses ventilation systems and pipe design methods, indoor airflow distribution, indoor air quality, noise control, constant-volume and variable-air-volume (VAV) air conditioning systems and their control technologies, residential air conditioning systems, packaged air conditioning systems, dehumidification systems, air conditioning energy storage devices, and system commissioning and maintenance. The content is presented in an easy-to-understand and accessible manner, making it suitable for researchers and engineering designers in the HVAC field, as well as university teachers and students for reference. The book comprehensively and systematically covers topics such as the properties of moist air and psychrometric charts, load calculations, refrigerants, refrigeration cycles, refrigeration systems, absorption refrigeration systems, and noise control.
