Download or read book After Cooling written by Eric Dean Wilson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “ambitious [and] delightful” (The New York Times) work of literary nonfiction interweaves the science and history of the powerful refrigerant (and dangerous greenhouse gas) Freon with a haunting meditation on how to live meaningfully and morally in a rapidly heating world. In After Cooling, Eric Dean Wilson braids together air-conditioning history, climate science, road trips, and philosophy to tell the story of the birth, life, and afterlife of Freon, the refrigerant that ripped a hole larger than the continental United States in the ozone layer. As he traces the refrigerant’s life span from its invention in the 1920s—when it was hailed as a miracle of scientific progress—to efforts in the 1980s to ban the chemical (and the resulting political backlash), Wilson finds himself on a journey through the American heartland, trailing a man who buys up old tanks of Freon stockpiled in attics and basements to destroy what remains of the chemical before it can do further harm. Wilson is at heart an essayist, looking far and wide to tease out what particular forces in American culture—in capitalism, in systemic racism, in our values—combined to lead us into the Freon crisis and then out. “Meticulously researched and engagingly written” (Amitav Ghosh), this “knockout debut” (New York Journal of Books) offers a rare glimpse of environmental hope, suggesting that maybe the vast and terrifying problem of global warming is not beyond our grasp to face.
Download or read book HVAC Cooling Loads written by Charles nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEARN howto size your Industrial, office or home HVAC (air-conditioning) Unit. HVAC - Heating, Ventilation & Air-conditioning It's that time of year again when the weather starts to cool off and we start thinking about turning on the heat. But before you do, it's important to understand how heating and cooling loads affect your HVAC system. Heating and cooling loads are the amount of heat that must be added or removed from a space to maintain a comfortable temperature. The load is affected by a number of factors, including the size of the space, the insulation of the walls and ceiling, the number of windows and doors, and the amount of sun exposure. When the load is too much for the HVAC system to handle, the space will become uncomfortable and the system will have to work harder to maintain the temperature. This can lead to higher energy bills and premature wear and tear on the system. To avoid these problems, it's important to have your HVAC system sized properly for the space it will be heating or cooling. An HVAC contractor can help you determine the appropriate size for your system.

Download or read book Cool written by Salvatore Basile and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] history of air conditioning, chronicling the numerous gimmicks, failed attempts, con jobs, and eventual successes . . . a surprisingly interesting journey.” —San Francisco Book Review The air conditioner is often hailed as one of the modern world’s greatest inventions—yet nearly as often blamed for global disaster. It has changed everything from architecture to people’s food habits; saved countless lives, and caused countless deaths. First appearing in 1902, when Willis Carrier, an engineer barely out of college, developed the “Apparatus for Treating Air,” everyone assumed it would instantly change the world. But the story of air conditioning and its rise to ubiquity is far from simple. In Cool, Salvatore Basile tracks two fascinating stories: the struggle to perfect an effective cooling device, and the effort to convince people that they actually needed such a thing. With a cast of characters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Richard Nixon and Felix the Cat, Cool showcases the myriad reactions to air conditioning as it was developed and introduced to the world. Here is a unique perspective on a common convenience: how we came to rely on it today, and how it might change radically tomorrow.
