Fifth Edition
By
John Hazlehurst
Description
This is the first of three essential reference volumes for those concerned with the
installation and servicing of domestic and industrial
gas equipment. This volume
explains the basic principles underlying the practical and theoretical aspects of
installing and servicing
gas appliances and associated equipment, from the basics of
combustion, to burners, pressure and flow, transfer of heat, controls, as
well as
materials and processes, electrical aspects, and metering and measuring devices.
The revised fifth edition is brought fully
up to date with current Standards and
legislation to reflect recent developments in industry, in line with requirements of the
ACS Certificates
of Competence and NVQs. Covering both natural gas and
liquefied petroleum gas, the many illustrations and worked examples included
throughout
the text will help the reader to understand the principles under discussion.
Volume 1 of the Gas Service Technology Series will enable
the reader to put into
practice the safe installation and servicing procedures described in the companion
volumes: Domestic Gas Installation
Practice (Volume 2), and Industrial and
Commercial Gas Installation Practice (Volume 3). Combining a comprehensive
reference with practical
application in real-world engineering contexts, Volume 1
provides an essential handbook for all aspects of fundamental gas servicing
technology, ideal for both students new to the field as well as professionals and noneoperational professionals (e.g. specifiers, managers,
supervisors) as an ongoing source of reference.
Audience
Gas professionals including all CORGI registered technicians and engineers (120,000
in UK).
