The Air Conditioning Manual" was written to assist entry-level engineers in the design of air-conditioning systems. It is also suable - in conjuction with fundamental HVAC&R resource material - as a senior- or graduate-level text for a university course in HVAC system design. The manual was written to fill the void between theory and practice - to bridge the gap between real-world design practices and the theoretical caluclations and analytical procedures or on the design of components.
