Electricity for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Related Areas

From Book News, Inc.
Written for those who service, install or select electrically controlled heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment, this text introduces the tools, instruments, and practices of electrical work and explores the fundamentals of electrical theory without losing sight of reality. Sections cover electric motors and their protection and control, low-voltage control systems in general, and specific heating, ventilation, and air conditioning control applications. Traditional problem areas, such as AC reactance, power factor, and efficiency, are examined and explained without resorting to endless mathematical calculations. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

Book Description
A practical, hands-on electrical book covering mechanical engineering and HVAC technologies that rely heavily on electrical motors and controls. Electricity for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Related Areas provides comprehensive coverage of electric motors, motor protection, and control. The book includes extensive references and examples of electrical controls with detailed examples specific to residential and commercial HVAC as well as a complete section on electrical theory. Dozens of safety warnings, practical tips, and comments tie the theory to real-world situations. It provides a step-by-step format with explanations and cautions as appropriate that allow readers to "experience" the procedures. A valuable reference book for professionals in heating, ventilating, and air- conditioning (HVAC) trades and other mechanical engineering technologies who rely on electrical motors and controls.
