Lessons Earned: Piping

The Piping Systems chapter focuses on solving performance problems in HVAC construction while providing a "How To" approach to avoid piping problems in the first place. This chapter is a compilation of decades of experiences from dozens of individuals and firms that represents all aspects of the business of designing and installing systems and figuring out why sometimes they don't work as expected!!!

This chapter includes illustrations, drawings and photographs. It will help your business if you buy it, read it, and apply it. THIS AND ALL CHAPTERS HAVE A VERY RAPID ROI !!!!!!!!!!!

Problems with Piping Systems are covered and a logical thought process that is designed to achieve project objectives is provided, that enables the solution of each problem. THESE TOPICS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN DESIGN MANUALS !!!

You need this chapter if you can't answer the following: How are control valves sized? How can pressure ratings of valves and fittings be exceeded without realizing it? Why steam traps and control valves do not mix? That copper tubing has maximum velocity limits? That maximum velocities are temperature dependent? (Both known only by a few). What happens when buildings are connected? Why a centrifugal pump motor overloads? How water hammer is generated in steam and condensate piping? In water piping? The basics of piping expansion and contraction?

If you use this chapter you will spend less than you would for two cups of coffee to avoid $2000.00 or much, much more of headaches and costs!
