Description
Excerpt from The Elements of Heating and Ventilation: A Text-Book for Students, Engineers and Architects
The aim of the author in preparing this book has been to bring together in logical order and in a small volume the necessary data from which to design the heating and venti lating systems of buildings. In doing this he has been guided by his own experience in the layout of such systems and by the previous works of many authors which he has used. He has consulted these works freely, as well as the valuable experi mental data prepared by a number of the companies building apparatus for heating and ventilation. Where such work has been used credit has been given to the author or the company. These data, which in general are scattered among various books and pamphlets and must be used by the engineer in his work, have been brought together and placed in a logical position in a single book. The data are founded on careful experiment and may be used with confidence. In selecting these data, which are given in the forms of tables and curves, the endeavor has been made to include. All that are necessary to solve any problem which may arise in connection with the warming of buildings or the supply and delivery of air. Many cf the curves and tables are originally given, and in all cases these have been recomputed or redrawn for this book. Several methods given for the solution of problems are new.
