From the Publisher

A textbook that covers the fundamental science and design principles of air conditioning engineering systems, couched in terms of British practice, for both students and practicing engineers. This edition (3rd ed., 1985) is updated to include greater coverage of developments in safety, hygiene, and reduced energy consumption; the increased use of electronic controls and computerized controls; and recent advances in refrigeration. In addition, the treatment of fan performance is extended to cover air handling units. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
