Hvac Control in the New Millennium

Michael Frank Hordeski

While most industrial controls have benefitted from advances in personal computer control and sensor technology, building controls have lagged behind. Only now are some of the techniques used in industrial automation showing up in HVAC. As energy costs continue to grow in relation to overall operating costs, the need for more refined HVAC control becomes more crucial. HVAC strategies, such as optimizing start-up time and supply air temperature, and minimizing fan energy and reheating, are not only possible but are becoming necessary. This book examines the relationship between industrial automation techniques and evolving HVAC systems, and how emerging technologies can now be applied to HVAC systems. Topics covered include optimizing HVAC, boiler and pump control, heat pump and chiller optimization, environmental controls, wireless control, computer control, and building automation.

Control and Instrumentation Technology in HVAC: PCs and Environmental Control

Michael F. Hordeski

This updated manual provides a compendium of readily applicable techniques which readers can utilize to improve the performance of any cooling tower. This practical handbook covers internal elements of towers, and shows procedures for upgrading them for both energy savings and enhanced profitability of operations. It explains why many cooling towers in operation today have been poorly designed and operated. Specific methodologies are shown which improve performance, produce colder water and ciculate a greater volume of water in the same tower. Topics include: thermal performance, water distribution, water treatment, maintenance, inspection, drift elimination and operating concepts.

Cooling Tower Technology: Maintenance, Upgrading and Rebuilding

Burger, Robert

Shows how to apply the principles of energy engineering and management as they pertain to electrical, HVAC, utility, process and building system energy utilization. The book offers tools to evaluate how retail competition will impact prices and demand-side management; methods to apply to do energy analysis for any system, including specific problems, worked-out solutions and data to help understand the practical applications of energy engineering and management; and coverage of important non-technical material, including organizational, management and cost consideration.

This practical guidebook presents state-of-the-art information on the flow of ground currents and stray voltage. Readers can learn about the real effects of ground currents, how they operate under the surface of the Earth, and how each current route affects output voltage. The author clears up and wealth of misinformation surrounding stray voltage, and why it has been unjustly blamed for a variety of problems. There are detailed facts on how primary neutral current returns to its source, along with additional useful information to steer a company clear of costly judgments and litigation. The text features job-site considerations and simplified calculations.
