From the basics of heat units and fuel power to the details of radiators, mains, and condensers, this edition emphasizes real‑world calculations and system layouts. It covers direct and indirect heating, vacuum and condensing systems, and the impact of losses through walls, glass, and air. You’ll find step‑by‑step methods you can apply to size boilers, estimate heating surface, and optimize piping networks.
- How to compute boiler capacity, heating surface, and radiator requirements
- Techniques for sizing pipes and evaluating flow in steam and hot water systems
