This book presents engineers with solutions to the problems found in control applications in the commercial HVAC buildings industry. Using their experience to take readers beyond textbook principles, the authors offer suggestions for troubleshooting not found in any other book. Divided into two sections, HVAC Controls and Systems covers all aspects of commercial controls, including pneumatic, electric, and electronic controls. The first section discusses the hardware of the controls industry: thermostats and humidistats, dampers and damper motors, automatic valves, transmitters, auxiliary devices, construction systems and devices, and electronic products. The second section covers applications of the hardware for air handling unit systems, terminal systems and units, primary systems, heat pump cycles, distribution systems, supervisory systems, maintenance and operations, and total facility approach.

A hard copy companion to the eLearning course that serves as a practical guide to the principles and characteristics of controls, and how to apply them in the use, selection, specification and design of controls systems.

In the eight years since the publication of the first edition of this book, there have been quantum changes in the automated temperature control (ATC) industry due to the widespread & growing use of direct digital control (DDC) systems. The fully updated second edition fully addresses these technology changes, from equipment characteristics & operation, to troubleshooting & maintenance, to training of operating & maintenance personnel. The full range of topics pertinent to the effective operation of all types of HVAC control systems currently in use today are explored, including equipment-to-control interactions, control system set-up & functions, local loop to building automation system interfaces, performance prediction & assessment, operational parameters, & maintenance & testing.

Control Systems for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning, Sixth Edition is complete and covers both hardware control systems and modern control technology. The material is presented without bias and without prejudice toward particular hardware or software. Readers with an engineering degree will be reminded of the psychrometric processes associated with heating and air conditioning as they learn of the various controls schemes used in the variety of heating and air conditioning system types they will encountered in the field. Maintenance technicians will also find the book useful because it describes various control hardware and control strategies that were used in the past and are prevalent in most existing heating and air conditioning systems. Designers of new systems will find the fundamentals described in this book to be a useful starting point, and they will also benefit from descriptions of new digital technologies and energy management systems. This technology is found in modern building HVAC system designs.

Provided by this book is the fundamental knowledge practitioners need to understand controls and become fully proficient. It provides the vocabulary, the diagrams, the principles and the philosophy that will give confidence to anyone entering the field of HVAC controls. After a general treatment of the object of the HVAC systems and the philosophy of how and why complete systems are designed, the book turns to describing specific kinds of hardware and gives thorough coverage of troubleshooting, potential problems to look for and how to prevent or solve them. This edition incorporates information on microcomputers and microprocessor-based controls, which are now making a major impact on the way controls are perceived and marketed.

HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) controls and sensors are devices used to regulate the temperature and air quality of indoor spaces. They are used in a variety of settings including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. HVAC controls and sensors work together to provide a comfortable and safe environment for occupants. The main components of HVAC systems are the thermostat, which measures and regulates the temperature, and the air handler, which is responsible for circulating and conditioning the air. HVAC controls and sensors are also used to monitor humidity levels and to adjust fan speeds in order to maintain the desired comfort level. HVAC controls and sensors can be manual or automated. Manual controls are typically operated by a thermostat, while automated controls are operated by a computer or other intelligent device. Automated controls can be used to program temperature levels and set times for the system to turn on or off. In addition to temperature and air quality, HVAC controls and sensors are also used to monitor energy consumption. This is done by measuring the amount of electricity used by the system and adjusting the fan speed accordingly. This can help to reduce energy costs by ensuring that the system is only running at the necessary level.
