Synopsis

Learn air duct and chilled water design step by step.

HVAC DESIGN FOR BEGINNERS introduces the practical design of air distribution and chilled water piping systems through illustrations, clear explanations, and worked examples. Written by Assem Battikh, Principal Mechanical Engineer, it helps students and engineers new to HVAC design understand what to do, in what order, and why.

Inside the book:

• HVAC and refrigeration fundamentals, equipment, and supply and return concepts
• Air outlet selection and distribution, duct types, fittings, and sizing
• Fans, air handling units, dampers, and VAV and CAV systems
• Ventilation, psychrometrics, and practical air-side design examples
• Chilled water circuits, pipe sizing, chillers, pumps, and cooling towers
• Equipment hookups, air separators, expansion tanks, and chiller plants
• An introduction to cooling load calculations

The emphasis is on applying design methods using given cooling capacities and flow rates. Worked examples help you follow the calculations and practise the process yourself.

Use this guide alongside engineering textbooks, applicable standards, and project requirements as you build your understanding of HVAC design.
