Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning: Analysis and Design

Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning: Analysis and Design Review

The latest changes in the ASHRAE literature are reflected in this new edition of the HVAC text. It includes expanded coverage of automatic control and moist air properties, and contains new data for floor slabs and underground walls and floors. Increased emphasis has been placed on the effects of barometric pressure. The text now covers energy calculation by the bin method, design of large hydronic systems with variable flow, and the energy grade line concept, and includes new data for duct fittings and compressor performance. The book uses a dual system of units.

The 2009 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Radiators and Their Parts in Bulgaria

The 2009 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Radiators and Their Parts in Bulgaria Review

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on iron or steel radiators and their parts in Bulgaria face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying iron or steel radiators and their parts to Bulgaria? How important is Bulgaria compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of iron or steel radiators and their parts vary from one country of origin to another in Bulgaria? On the supply side, Bulgaria also exports iron or steel radiators and their parts. Which countries receive the most exports from Bulgaria? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for iron or steel radiators and their parts in Bulgaria. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for iron or steel radiators and their parts for those countries serving Bulgaria via exports, or supplying from Bulgaria via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Bulgaria fits into the world market for imported and exported iron or steel radiators and their parts. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Bulgaria in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Bulgaria is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Bulgaria compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

Planning of Geothermal District Heating Systems

Planning of Geothermal District Heating Systems Review

Geothermal waters, hot enough to provide direct heating, are available in many parts of the world. Some are exploited already but many more are only now being considered, as planners begin to recognize the environmental benefits of this unfamiliar energy resource. The relative economic benefits are more marginal, however, and a successful scheme requires careful design and optimization. The nature of geothermal resources imposes special conditions which may be unfamiliar to many plant engineers. In addition, many different approaches are possible, depending on the characteristics of the resource and the user and on the operator's requirements. Must the scheme be optimized for energy recovery or for financial return, or is it more important that it should remain profitable over as wide a range of conditions as possible?
This book, written by professional plant engineers with first-hand experience, is designed to guide plant engineers through the different options and to help in this optimization process.
