Unlike purely academic texts, this book is rooted in the practicalities of the industry. It doesn't just teach you why air conditioning works; it teaches you about the components that make it work. From duct sizing to fan laws and pump selection, the text touches upon the equipment and calculations you will actually use on a job site.
An introduction to the "intricate web" of parts—furnaces, air conditioners, and ventilation systems—that work together to regulate indoor air quality and humidity.
: Deep dives into the principles of heat exchange and air circulation essential for maintaining indoor climate control. P. N. ANANTHANARAYANAN | McGraw Hill | Pragationline.com
In a small, cluttered office in Mumbai, India, Anant Narayan, a seasoned HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) expert, sat hunched over his desk, pouring over lines of code and schematics. For years, he had been working on a mission to create the most comprehensive and accessible guide to HVAC design, installation, and maintenance. His goal was to produce a book that would revolutionize the way HVAC professionals worked and think.
Published with a focus on practicality and clear, foundational knowledge, this 768-page paperback (first published in 2013, with later editions available) bridges the gap between theoretical principles and real-world application. Why Ananthanarayanan’s HVAC Book is a Must-Have
What sets this book apart from other thermal science literature is its accessible pedagogy.
