Paperback. Four hundred cubic feet per minute per ton. A constant of 1.08 on the air side and 500 on the water side. Every heating, cooling, and refrigeration technician runs on numbers like these - and almost nobody can say where they come from, or when they stop being true.That is because the trade's arithmetic is scattered: a sizing table here, a manufacturer's bulletin there, a slide chart on the back of a pressure-temperature card, a rule of thumb passed down a shop until nobody remembers what it was derived from. It works until the job leaves standard conditions - a duct run at altitude, an air handler in a hundred-and-forty-degree attic, a nameplate that mixes two measurement systems. The technician who has only memorized the number is stuck the moment the table runs out. And a wrong number in this trade is never an abstraction: it is an oversized furnace, a starved coil, a callback, a compressor that dies young.This handbook was built to close that gap. It gathers the calculations a technician actually performs - on a service call, at a start-up, during a replacement estimate - and works each one through from the physical relationship that produces it to the number written on the invoice. Where a shortcut exists, the derivation that justifies it comes first, along with the conditions under which it fails.What you will take from it: One conversion method that handles any unit conversion, including ones you have never seen beforeThe sensible, latent, and total heat equations - and how to correct their constants when conditions are not standardA complete heat loss and heat gain calculation, from design conditions to room-by-room equipment selectionAirflow verified by duct traverse and by temperature rise, the fan laws, and duct sizing by friction loss against available static pressureThe refrigeration cycle read from two gauges and two thermometers - superheat, subcooling, compression ratio, and charge limits for the newer mildly flammable refrigerantsCombustion arithmetic: clocking a meter, input, output, efficiency, temperature rise, and gas pipe sizingPump curves, glycol corrections, and expansion tanks on the water side; amperage, voltage drop, and power factor on the electrical side - through operating cost and simple payback.The apparatus is built for learning and for the truck: 141 fully worked examples showing the equation, the substitution, and the units at every step; more than 400 end-of-chapter practice problems, each answered with a complete worked solution; a master conversion appendix with exact factors; every equation in the book collected in one place; reference data tables; a field quick reference; and a glossary of roughly 190 terms. Chapters are self-contained enough to open anywhere and cross-referenced enough to read straight through. Units follow United States practice, with an appendix for working any calculation in the units used across the English-speaking world.It is written for the apprentice meeting this material for the first time, the trade-school or community-college student with an exam ahead, the working technician tired of trusting numbers he cannot check, and the estimator or service manager who checks them.Stop working from numbers you cannot verify. Get your copy and start carrying the arithmetic that holds up when the table runs out. This item is printed on demand.

Four hundred cubic feet per minute per ton. A constant of 1.08 on the air side and 500 on the water side. Every heating, cooling, and refrigeration technician runs on numbers like these — and almost nobody can say where they come from, or when they stop being true.
That is because the trade's arithmetic is scattered: a sizing table here, a manufacturer's bulletin there, a slide chart on the back of a pressure-temperature card, a rule of thumb passed down a shop until nobody remembers what it was derived from. It works until the job leaves standard conditions — a duct run at altitude, an air handler in a hundred-and-forty-degree attic, a nameplate that mixes two measurement systems. The technician who has only memorized the number is stuck the moment the table runs out. And a wrong number in this trade is never an abstraction: it is an oversized furnace, a starved coil, a callback, a compressor that dies young.
This handbook was built to close that gap. It gathers the calculations a technician actually performs — on a service call, at a start-up, during a replacement estimate — and works each one through from the physical relationship that produces it to the number written on the invoice. Where a shortcut exists, the derivation that justifies it comes first, along with the conditions under which it fails.
What you will take from it:
- One conversion method that handles any unit conversion, including ones you have never seen before
- The sensible, latent, and total heat equations — and how to correct their constants when conditions are not standard
- A complete heat loss and heat gain calculation, from design conditions to room-by-room equipment selection
- Airflow verified by duct traverse and by temperature rise, the fan laws, and duct sizing by friction loss against available static pressure
- The refrigeration cycle read from two gauges and two thermometers — superheat, subcooling, compression ratio, and charge limits for the newer mildly flammable refrigerants
- Combustion arithmetic: clocking a meter, input, output, efficiency, temperature rise, and gas pipe sizing
- Pump curves, glycol corrections, and expansion tanks on the water side; amperage, voltage drop, and power factor on the electrical side — through operating cost and simple payback.
The apparatus is built for learning and for the truck: 141 fully worked examples showing the equation, the substitution, and the units at every step; more than 400 end-of-chapter practice problems, each answered with a complete worked solution; a master conversion appendix with exact factors; every equation in the book collected in one place; reference data tables; a field quick reference; and a glossary of roughly 190 terms. Chapters are self-contained enough to open anywhere and cross-referenced enough to read straight through. Units follow United States practice, with an appendix for working any calculation in the units used across the English-speaking world.
It is written for the apprentice meeting this material for the first time, the trade-school or community-college student with an exam ahead, the working technician tired of trusting numbers he cannot check, and the estimator or service manager who checks them.

Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).
Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.
Effetti del recesso
In caso di recesso dal presente contratto, ti rimborseremo tutti i pagamenti ricevuti, compresi i costi di spedizione (ad eccezione dei costi supplementari derivanti dalla tua eventuale scelta di un tipo di spedizione diverso dal tipo meno costoso di consegna standard da noi offerto).
Potremo effettuare una detrazione dal rimborso per la perdita di valore dei beni forniti, qualora tale perdita sia il risultato di una manipolazione non necessaria da parte tua.
Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.
Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
Dovrai rispedire i beni o consegnarli a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., senza indebito ritardo e, in ogni caso, entro 14 giorni dal giorno in cui ci hai comunicato la tua volontà di recedere dal presente contratto. Il termine è rispettato se rispedisci i beni prima della scadenza del periodo di 14 giorni. I costi diretti della restituzione dei beni saranno a tuo carico. Sei responsabile solo della diminuzione del valore dei beni risultante da una manipolazione diversa da quella necessaria per stabilire la natura, le caratteristiche e il funzionamento dei beni stessi.
