Product Details
The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association, Inc. (SMACNA) in keeping with
its policy of disseminating information and providing standards of design and construction, offers this third
manual of the HVAC Systems Library entitled "HVAC Systems-Applications", as part of the continuing
effort to upgrade the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) industry.
The "HVAC Systems-Application" manual was developed to present the latest available information and
data on the application of specific types of HVAC systems, both air and hydronic, for the "design and
build" SMACNA Contractor, the HVAC system designer, testing, adjusting and balancing contractors, and
any one else concerned with commercial or institutional building HVAC systems. The basic types of specific
systems will be discussed, such as multizone systems, induction air systems, etc., for air; and twopipe
systems, three-pipe systems, etc., for hydronic. Most larger buildings have installations made of combinations
of the basic HVAC systems. So in any existing or proposed large building complex, each basic
system can be separated and analyzed for its individual contribution to the areas served. Some so-called
obsolete systems are included to assist contractors doing energy management and retrofit work. Cautions
about excessive energy use have been included.
After Chapters I and II which contain a general discussion of basic central HVAC system and equipment
installations, electric and pneumatic control systems are covered in depth in Chapter III. The characteristics
of individual types of air systems or air-water systems are discussed in Chapters IV through VIII.
Special types of air systems (clean room, dehumidification, laboratory exhaust and smoke control) may
be found in Chapter IX.
