publisher, Prentice-Hall Career & Technology
Unique in combining into one text the operational and selection
characteristics of commonly used control devices with the thermal and
response characteristics of HVAC processes. It presents step by step
techniques for analyzing the response of actual control loops along with
typical calibration procedures. This volume helps students develop
analytical skills used to diagnose and rectify operational problems in
any system by focusing on how and why a process responds in a given
manner to changes in a measured variable.
