Industrial HVAC Systems presents a practical, plant-oriented introduction to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. It connects thermal theory with equipment operation, maintenance, controls, energy efficiency and troubleshooting.
The book is useful for diploma and degree students, technicians, maintenance engineers, facility engineers, supervisors, project engineers and readers preparing for industrial HVAC responsibilities.
The approach is deliberately system-based. A compressor, condenser, pump, fan, coil, duct, sensor or controller is not treated as an isolated component; each is explained as part of a complete energy and control chain.
Readers will learn how to identify normal operating conditions, recognize abnormal symptoms, select measurements, interpret trends, plan maintenance and verify corrective action.
Major themes include refrigeration, chilled water, air distribution, cooling towers, controls, electrical systems, commissioning, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and energy management.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Chetan Singh Chauhan is an engineering professional with an electrical-maintenance and industrial-operations background. His practical interests include equipment reliability, preventive maintenance, energy management, safety, documentation and continuous improvement.
The author's engineering approach is simple: understand the equipment, understand its normal operating condition, identify early warning signs, take safe measurements, correct the root cause and verify performance after the work.
This practical philosophy is reflected in the book through checklists, operating observations, maintenance points, troubleshooting logic and engineering examples.
The book is written to support both classroom learning and industrial application. It is not a substitute for site procedures, licensed design services or manufacturer instructions.
