Carrier System Design Manual Volume 3: Parts 9-12 – Systems & Applications, All-Air Systems, Air-Water Systems, & Water/DX Systems

Carrier System Design Manual Volume 3:

Parts 9-12 – System Selection, All-Air Systems, Air-Water Systems, & Water/DX Systems (4 Books in 1)

Master the art of matching the right system to the right application—with the third and final volume of the Carrier System Design Manual.

While Volumes 1 and 2 cover component selection and equipment design, Volume 3 brings it all together. This volume focuses on complete system architecture: how to choose among different system types and how to design them for real-world buildings and applications.

Inside this single volume, you will find:

Part 9: System Selection – Begin with the big picture. This section provides practical guides for selecting the appropriate air conditioning system based on specific application requirements. Different buildings and spaces demand different solutions—learn how to match them correctly.

Part 10: All-Air Systems – Dive deep into systems where air is the only cooling medium used directly within the conditioned space. This section covers the complete range, including conventional constant volume, induction, multi-zone, dual-duct, variable volume (VAV), and dual conduit systems. Engineering procedures and data guide you through practical design for each type.

Part 11: Air-Water Systems – Learn the ideal solution for perimeter rooms in multi-story, multi-room buildings where adjacent rooms may require simultaneous cooling and heating—and where ductwork space is minimal. This section presents engineering procedures and data for designing practical air-water systems.

Part 12: Water and Direct Expansion (DX) Systems – Complete your system design repertoire with practical guidance on designing water-based and direct expansion systems, including engineering data and step-by-step procedures.

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.

The Complete Three-Volume Set:

• Volume 1: Load Estimating, Air Distribution & Piping Design (Parts 1-3)

• Volume 2: Refrigerants, Water Treatment, Air Handling, Refrigeration Equipment & Auxiliaries (Parts 4-8)

• Volume 3: System Selection, All-Air, Air-Water & Water/DX Systems (Parts 9-12)

Whether you are designing a single-zone constant volume system or a complex dual-duct variable air volume installation, Volume 3 gives you the engineering foundation to make confident, informed decisions.
