Application Guide for Absorption Cooling/Refrigeration Using Recovered Heat

A comprehensive manual for building owners, engineers and developers describing the application of indirect fired absorption machines. Encourages the use of recovered heat for cooling and refrigeration with the primary objective to reduce cooling energy use and facility operating costs. Contains a computer program on a 3.5 inch disk that automates the application procedures, simplifies the initial selection and economic analysis for a potential project. Easy-to-follow format allows reader to become familiar with system requirements, evaluate indirect fired absorption machines for specific requirements, and select the most economical system. Dual units of measurement.

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing, and continuing education.

The ASHRAE Handbooks are the design standard for control of built environments with volumes on Systems and Equipment, HVAC Applications, Refrigeration and Fundamentals. Each is updated every four years. In addition to publishing design guidance for engineers, architects, and facility managers, we also publish a series of texts for classroom use.

Some of the areas we publish in include:
-Energy Modeling and Auditing
-High Performance Building Design
-Psychrometrics
-Indoor Air Quality and Environmental Quality
-Data Center Energy Efficiency
-Noise & Vibration Control
-Humidity Control
-HVAC for Healthcare Facilities
