Download or read book Oversized Heating Plant written by J. R. J. Brittain and published by . This book was released on 1997-09-30 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title notes the significant amount of oversized plant in the UK, with overcapacity in excess of 15% often given to boilers and chillers and estimates this oversizing is responsible for approximately 10-15% of HVAC-related energy consumption. The book provides a four-step methodology for reducing the energy consumption of oversized heating and domestic hot water plant - 1) targeting heating plant oversizing, 2) assessing and optimising operation and maintenance, 3) accurately quantifying heating plant overcapacity by using plant monitoring, 4) implementing remedial measures. It also recommends first targeting air handling plant, as thermal loads depend on air handling performance.

Download or read book Heating Systems Plant and Control written by Antony R. Day and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many climates buildings are unable to provide comfort conditions for year-round occupancy without the benefit of a heating system, and most HVAC engineers will routinely be involved with issues concerning the design, installation and performance of such systems. Furthermore, in temperate climates, heating of buildings accounts for a large slice of annual carbon emissions. The design of heating systems for maximum efficiency and minimum carbon emission is therefore now a matter of prime concern to all HVAC engineers. The book provides an up-to-date review of the design, engineering and control of modern heating systems. Part A deals with heat generating plant. While this concentrates on conventional and condensing boilers, small-scale combined heat and power systems and heat pumps are also discussed. Part B deals with heat emitters, pipe circuits and variable-speed pumping, hot water service, optimum plant size and the vital issues of plant and system control, including sequence control of multiple boilers. Techniques for managing the energy use and running costs of heating systems are also discussed. The authors have brought together over a half-century of combined experience covering all aspects of the building services Industry to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive text that is both technically rigorous yet highly practical. This makes the book equally relevant to the busy HVAC engineer looking for a handy practical reference, the student looking to build on their basic knowledge or the researcher interested in key issues of heating system design and performance.
Download or read book Enhancing the Performance of Oversized Plant written by Barry Crozier and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an examination of the issues relating to oversized heating, ventilation and air conditioning plant and also presents a methodology for identifying where plant is oversized and for assessing the extent of this. Gives recommendations for remedial measures, and supplies plant monitoring tips and case studies. It states the guidance will help reduce energy expenditure and should be an invaluable source of information for those considering plant refurbishment. By highlighting the origins of overdesign, aims to make designers more aware of their responsibility when it comes to sizing HVAC plant and systems. The main steps to reduce the energy consumption of oversized plant described are - targeting plant oversizing, assessing and optimising operation and maintenance practice, accurately quantifying plant overcapacity by plant monitoring and implementing remedial measures to improve system performance.

Download or read book The Lost Art of Steam Heating written by Dan Holohan and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was my first book and a true labor of love. I spent decades studying steam and the work of Dead Men, in both old buildings and on library shelves. I traveled the country, haunting used-book stores, looking for engineering books that held the answers to questions that nagged at me. I was obsessed with this topic, and when I finally sat to write, I poured all that I had learned into this book, and as I wrote, I tried my best to make the words sound good to you - like we were together and having a conversation. I wanted you to know what I know and I wanted you to be able to do what I can do when it comes to old steam systems. This book arrived in 1992 and has since gone though dozens of printings. We've sold it in every state as well as in foreign countries. Steam heat is everywhere there are old buildings, so why shouldn't you be the one with the answers? Dan Holohan
