Air Conditioning Principles and Systems
Edward G. Pita's fourth edition of Air Conditioning Principles and Systems. The book begins by explaining the fundamental principles of air conditioning before moving on to a description of equipment and systems. The text emphasises the use of theory in both the design of new systems and the troubleshooting of existing ones. This approach is bolstered by numerous illustrative examples and problems based on real-world scenarios. The use and conservation of energy is a recurring theme throughout the book. Energy codes and standards are described, and each topic is examined from the standpoint of energy conservation, which is critical for all future work in the air conditioning field. Solar heating and cooling are covered in detail.
