The Price Engineer's HVAC Handbook Edition 2 Is Here!

Posted by Price Industries on November 14, 2023 at 9:24 AM

Your Complete Guide to Fundamental Industry Knowledge

The original intention of the Price Engineer’s HVAC Handbook was to create a “polished compilation” of existing design guides and examples from the Price Catalog. In typical Price fashion, we dedicated more than 20,000 internal hours over the course of two years to create an industry-first reference guide on air distribution – complete with 1,350 pages and more than 3,000 illustrations.

Removal of Particulate in Supply Air

Air filters are an essential part of any HVAC system to remove particulates in the supply air that would otherwise be harmful to the building occupants, or build up in the ductwork or equipment. They are also an essential part of air moving devices such as terminal units, fan coils and air handlers as they remove dirt that would otherwise cause coil blockages and fan wheel imbalances.

Design Considerations for Natatorium Ventilation

Designing a ventilation system for a swimming pool can be tricky. For occupant comfort, these facilities require 40 to 60% relative humidity to be maintained year round. For swimmers, a humidity range of 50 to 60% is most comfortable. However, humidity levels below 50% can significantly increase energy consumption, while humidity levels above 60% can cause damage due to mold, mildew and condensation.
