Foreword to Testing and Balancing HVAC Air and Water Systems

This guide will present the reader with an understanding of the ideas and practices of testing and balancing (TAB) heating, ventilating and air-con (HVAC) air and water techniques. It’s for anybody fascinated about testing and balancing.

For the novice and the skilled testing and balancing technician, it’s a discipline reference guide of procedures, equations, and data tables. For these fascinated about stepping into TAB or are new to the HVAC trade it’s a textual content for studying extra about HVAC techniques and testing and balancing.

For the mechanical engineer, constructing proprietor, facility supervisor or power supervisor, this guide can be utilized for educating TAB, writing simpler specs, and studying TAB and how it interacts with system commissioning, indoor air high quality and power administration.

It’s the intent of this guide to enhance the communications between homeowners, mechanical engineers, designers, distributors, contractors and TAB engineers, supervisors, and technicians to make sure that HVAC techniques are being correctly examined and balanced.

This guide is utilized in take a look at and steadiness self-study programs, in-house coaching applications, seminars and different coaching codecs as preparation for TAB certification, and as a textual content in schools and technical colleges. The fifth version it’s organized in 5 elements.

Half I has basic and particular balancing procedures for fixed air quantity techniques, variable air quantity techniques, return air techniques, and followers and fan efficiency in Chapters 1 via 9.

The six chapters, 10-15, in Half II cowl testing and balancing fume hood techniques and cleanrooms, commissioning HVAC techniques, centrifugal pumps and pump efficiency, analog and digital controls and water balancing procedures utilizing stream meters, system elements and temperatures.

Half III has 5 terminology chapters masking followers, pumps, air distribution, water distribution, motors, electrical, fluid stream, psychrometrics, refrigeration, instrument utilization, and care.

Half IV, Chapters 21 and 22, are equations and tables. Half V is an Addendum with up to date data and extra take a look at and steadiness procedures and graphics for Chapters 1 via 7, and Chapters 13 and 14.

Within the strategy of reviewing this fifth version for updates and revisions I’m additionally reviewing my very own 35 years working in HVAC as a marketing consultant, teacher and writer in take a look at and steadiness, system efficiency analysis, power administration, system design

System retrofit, indoor air high quality, and commissioning for big workplace complexes, resorts, hospitals, fume hood labs, cleanroom services, main retail institutions, army installations, nuclear energy crops, manufacturing services, schools and universities, non-public and public colleges, and authorities services

. I now function CTAB board chairman for the Worldwide Registry for CTAB Professionals (irctab.org). My firm, Sugarman Consulting, is a Coaching Group for IRCTAB and teaches the CTAB certification program.

As all the time, I commend you on your pursuit of data and excellence in HVAC, TAB and associated industries and your dedication to offering the very best high quality of service.
