Synopsis

This book is a detailed analysis of various heating and ventilation systems commonly used in buildings. These range from simple direct steam heating to advanced central heating systems. The author clarifies how to achieve optimum comfort and efficiency. The book discusses how heat is lost from buildings through various means - direct transmission, air flow, and filtration - and provides detailed formulas for calculating heat loss in different constructions. The author also covers the basics of heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation. The book draws heavily from experiments done under the supervision of Prof. M. E. Cooley, Dean of the Department of Engineering at the University of Michigan, and includes diagrams of tunnel sections designed by Prof. Cooley to improve central heating systems. The book is an excellent resource for steam fitters and designers of heating systems.
