Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of HVAC hydronic systems, where the marriage of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning meets the elegance and efficiency of water-based heating and cooling solutions. This book is an exploration of the principles, design, and applications of hydronic systems in the context of HVAC. As the demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions continues to grow, hydronic systems have emerged as a preferred choice for heating and cooling residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. These systems leverage the unique properties of water as a medium for transferring thermal energy, offering numerous advantages over traditional air-based HVAC systems. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive and accessible resource for understanding the fundamentals of hydronic systems, their components, and their integration into building infrastructure. Whether you are a seasoned HVAC professional seeking to expand your knowledge or a student entering the field, this book will serve as a valuable guide. In the chapters that follow, we will delve into the key principles underlying hydronic systems, exploring topics such as fluid dynamics, heat transfer, system components, control strategies, and system design considerations. We will discuss various types of hydronic heating and cooling systems, including radiant floor heating, chilled beam systems, and fan coil units, highlighting their unique features and applications. Additionally, we will examine the role of pumps, boilers, heat exchangers, valves, and other essential components in hydronic systems. We will explore the intricacies of system balancing, zoning, and control, emphasizing the importance of proper installation, operation, and maintenance practices to ensure optimal system performance and energy efficiency. Throughout this book, we will also address emerging trends and technologies in the field of HVAC hydronic systems, such as advanced control algorithms, renewable energy integration, and smart building automation. By staying informed about these developments, you will be equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of HVAC engineering. It is my hope that this book will serve as a source of inspiration, knowledge, and practical guidance for those involved in the design, installation, and operation of HVAC hydronic systems. By harnessing the power of water and embracing the principles outlined in these pages, we can create comfortable and sustainable indoor environments for generations to come. Remember, this book is a starting point—a foundation upon which you can build your understanding and expertise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. Over recent years, a number of significant developments in the application of valves have taken place: the increasing use of actuator devices, the introduction of more valve designs capable of reliable operation in difficult fluid handling situations; low noise technology and most importantly, the increasing attention being paid to product safety and reliability. Digital technology is making an impact on this market with manufacturers developing intelligent (smart) control valves incorporating control functions and interfaces. New metallic materials and coatings available make it possible to improve application ranges and reliability. New and improved polymers, plastic composite materials and ceramics are all playing their part. Fibre-reinforced plastic pipe systems, glass-reinforced epoxy pipe systems and the traditional low-cost polyester pipe systems have all undergone sophisticated design and manufacturing technology changes.

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

Download or read book Pumping Away and Other Really Cool Piping Options for Hydronic Systems written by Dan Holohan and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book to describe the beautiful workings of hydronic heating systems and I tried to use words that made the subject spring to life in a visual way. It's been one of my best-selling books for years. I kept the drawings simple. Even if you've never worked with hydronics before, you'll be able to follow these drawings. The first part deals with boiler-room piping and explains how you can put the discoveries of the late, great Gil Carlson to work for you. If you pipe Gil's way, you'll save time, money and never again have to bleed radiators. Thousands of installers have reported great success by following the principles in the first part of this book. I wish I could take credit but the genius was Gil Carlson's. I just did my best to tell his story in plain English. The second half of the book takes the "Pumping Away" boiler-room piping design and applies it to a delicious menu of piping options. This is a book that you'll refer to again and again. It will save you time and money. And I guarantee that. - Dan Holohan
