Book Synopsis Heating Systems, Plant and Control by : Antony R. Day
Download or read book Heating Systems, Plant and Control written by Antony R. Day and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many climates buildings are unable to provide comfort conditions for year-round occupancy without the benefit of a heating system, and most HVAC engineers will routinely be involved with issues concerning the design, installation and performance of such systems. Furthermore, in temperate climates, heating of buildings accounts for a large slice of annual carbon emissions. The design of heating systems for maximum efficiency and minimum carbon emission is therefore now a matter of prime concern to all HVAC engineers. The book provides an up-to-date review of the design, engineering and control of modern heating systems. Part A deals with heat generating plant. While this concentrates on conventional and condensing boilers, small-scale combined heat and power systems and heat pumps are also discussed. Part B deals with heat emitters, pipe circuits and variable-speed pumping, hot water service, optimum plant size and the vital issues of plant and system control, including sequence control of multiple boilers. Techniques for managing the energy use and running costs of heating systems are also discussed. The authors have brought together over a half-century of combined experience covering all aspects of the building services Industry to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive text that is both technically rigorous yet highly practical. This makes the book equally relevant to the busy HVAC engineer looking for a handy practical reference, the student looking to build on their basic knowledge or the researcher interested in key issues of heating system design and performance.
Book Synopsis Combustion and Pollution Control in Heating Systems by : Victor I. Hanby
Download or read book Combustion and Pollution Control in Heating Systems written by Victor I. Hanby and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustion is very much an interdisciplinary topic, drawing together elements of chemistry, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. It is an ingredient in many undergraduate degree programmes, ranging from a pivotal role in fuel science through to a component part of courses in chemical, process and building services engineering. For many students in those disciplines where combustion in heating plant is an important part of their studies, there are often problems in coming to grips with the basic principles underlying the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. In particular, the concepts of chemical and related thermodynamic changes can prove difficult to assimilate. The scientific literature dealing with combustion tends to be rather polarised, with a wealth of literature aimed at the specialist reader, but at a basic level the fundamentals of this important process are often treated rather tersely in textbooks on thermodynamics. The objective of this book is to provide an introduction to the basic principles of the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels in heating plant for buildings and industrial processes. In those chapters where practice in problem solving can make a positive contribution to understanding, some numerical problems have been included. Acknowledging the ever-widening use of computers in technical education, a number of algorithms which can be easily coded up for solving numerical problems have been incorporated in the text. These can prove particularly useful in, for example, the calculation of certain fluid properties, either for use in hand calculation or for incorporation into larger programs.

Book Synopsis Energy Supply Options for Modernizing Army Heating Systems by :
Download or read book Energy Supply Options for Modernizing Army Heating Systems written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Army central heating plants (CHPs) are about 30 years old. Many are nearing the end of their expected lives and experience poor combustion, low thermal efficiencies, and reliability problems. The most common solution for faulty CHP equipment is to replace it with the same technology. In some cases, however, the solution is to replace the large central system with many smaller, distributed gas-fired boiler systems. Although modernization of equipment can help avoid the high cost of the air pollution control equipment required for new energy supply facilities, the economic benefits gained from the early modernization programs have changed the life extension philosophy at most utilities. Utilities now view modernization as a long-term strategy or an ongoing policy for maintenance of and investment in existing power plants, not simply as a way to avoid the high cost of air pollution equipment. This report describes a screening tool and procedures to evaluate energy supply options to modernize or decentralize CHPs. The screening tool is to be used for a first level analysis of the suitability of central or decentralized plants using basic economic, climate, and real property data. If warranted, a more detailed conceptual analysis can be conducted which would then be the basis for initiating an energy supply implementation plan at the site. These guidelines do not represent a specific modernization program but rather a process to be adapted to specific needs at the Major Army Command and installation levels.
Book Synopsis Pumping Away and Other Really Cool Piping Options for Hydronic Systems by : 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

Book Synopsis Control Systems for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning by : R. Haines
Download or read book Control Systems for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning written by R. Haines and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two reasons why we have a new edition every four or five years. The first is that technology changes. Chapter 10, on computer-based con trols, has had to be almost completely rewritten. Fundamentals don't change, but the tools available to us do change. Evaluation and proper use of those tools makes it even more imperative that we understand fundamentals. Many of our control problems stem from the use of new devices as a solution to problems that are, in fact, control design errors. New gadgets, for example, Direct Digital Controls (DDC), will not solve basic problems and may even compound them. None-the-Iess, you will find an extensive discussion of DDC because I think it is the probable "future" in HVAC control. But it must be applied with a good understanding of fundamentals. The second reason is that I keep learning and need to pass on my new and improved understanding to my readers. Thus you will find a number of small but important revisions, a dissertation on control "modes," and a much more detailed discussion of how electronic control devices work. There are a few places where I have corrected what I now perceive to be errors. I apologize for these. I have been much encouraged by the acceptance of this book in the past, and I hope that this new edition will be helpful. Thank you for your support.
Book Synopsis The Secret Life of Boilers by : George James Bennett
Download or read book The Secret Life of Boilers written by George James Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residential space and water heating accounts for 23% of UK final energy demand and combination gas boilers are the dominant technology. Performance gap issues in gas boiler systems have been reported, with previous studies unable to isolate or quantify root causes for performance issues. Dynamic behaviour of boiler heating systems is important to their overall performance, issues of plant size, supply temperature regulation and system control effect the performance of the system. The UK Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP), contains simplifications to aid ease of use and comparability of resulting Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) but they partly overlook these key dynamic issues. Three complementary methods were used to analyse heating system dynamics; a cross-model comparison, real world data from four case studies and a statistical analysis of a 217 boilers sample. Comparing SAP with a dynamically modelled system, showed that SAP results correspond closely to a model using an idealistic heating system, with perfect control and instant responsiveness. Introduction of a physically realistic gas fired boiler and water-based heating system to the model results in a consistent increase in internal temperature (0.5°C) and energy demand (ca. 1000 kWh/a). Variation of controls and plant size show an efficiency penalty for oversized boilers with limited modulation and poor thermostat controls. The key issue of boiler cycling was highlighted as a dynamic symptom of poor efficiency performance. From in situ analysis of boilers, cycling behaviour was observed indicating widespread performance reduction, as was seen in simulation. Most observed combi-boilers appear oversized for space heating and despite available modulation are unable to prevent rapid on-off cycling. Per day, half of combi boilers studied average more than 50 starts and 70% of cycles average less than 10 minutes during space heating operation. Boiler dynamic performance is not reflected in UK and EU efficiency testing standards, which assume steady state operation. The characterisation of the dynamics of gas boilers highlights issues of oversizing and excessive cycling, and reveals opportunities to improve the current building stock energy demand/emissions through better installations, EPCs, and energy labelling.
