In large commercial and industrial systems, chilled water system serves as means to transfer heat from building spaces to the refrigeration system. Initially, when energy costs were low, constant volu
The global energy scenario has undergone a drastic change in the last two decades. Due to ever growing demand and shortage of supply, the cost of fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) is increasing
Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) of buildings is accomplished in many ways, depending on the size, configuration, and location of the buildings and the degree of environmental control
This book provides substantial information on thermal insulation. Thermal insulation is fundamentally defined as the technique of reduction of heat transfer between objects which are in thermal contac
