Control systems for heating, ventilating and air-conditioning. Fourth edition

Book ·
OSTI ID:5533666

This edition provides guidance on designing computer control systems that use the most recent technology and broadens the discussion on control theory to investigate the importance of the difference in control accuracy between proportional and integral control modes. Step-by-step design, installation, and maintenance procedures simplify the tasks of design engineers, operators, and HVAC system manufacturers. This classic gives information on: fluidic control devices-how to design with turbulence amplifiers, vortex amplifiers, fluid transducers, and manual switches; electric control systems-how electric heaters, reduced-voltage starters, and variable-speed controls work and how to use them; special control systems-design techniques for close temperature, humidity control, and controlled environment rooms for testing; psychrometric-ready-to-use psychrometric tables and charts; and retrofitting-energy conserving redesign methods for single-zone systems, reheat systems, multizone systems, and dual-duct systems.
