Carrier System Design Manual Volume 1:
Includes Parts 1-3 – Load Estimating, Air Distribution, & Piping Design (3 Books in 1)
The essential, three-part reference for HVAC engineers—now combined into one convenient volume.
For decades, the Carrier System Design Manual has been a cornerstone resource for industry professionals and consulting engineers. This special volume brings together the first three critical sections of that trusted guide, offering a comprehensive foundation for designing effective, efficient air conditioning systems.
Inside this single volume, you will find:
Part 1: Load Estimating – Master the fundamentals of preparing practical cooling and heating load estimates. Detailed data and real-world examples walk you through the process step by step. The included Applied Psychrometrics chapter then bridges the crucial gap between calculating the load and selecting the right equipment.
Part 2: Air Distribution – Move from theory to physical design. This section provides practical guidance on the layout of air handling equipment, ductwork, and all air distribution components—ensuring air moves correctly and efficiently throughout a building.
Part 3: Piping Design – Complete the system with confidence. Learn the principles and best practices for designing standard air conditioning piping systems, supported by practical data and examples for real-world application.
Please Note: This manual is offered as a general guide for the use of industry and consulting engineers in designing systems. Professional judgment is required for application to specific installations, and Carrier assumes no responsibility for any uses made of this text.
Whether you are an experienced engineer or a dedicated student of HVAC design, having these three essential references in one book provides an invaluable resource you will turn to again and again.
