Written in a ‘practical language’ that is easy to read, being relevant to practising engineers at all levels of knowledge and experience including fitters, commissioning technicians, contractors, consultants and system designers.
Describing in detail changes in system design which made it necessary to introduce DPCVs and PICVs into variable volume heating and chilled water systems.
