Book excerpt: "A highly impressive work ... extremely useful." --Tobi Goldoftas, Engineering Consultant, Cleveland, Ohio The Benchmark Guide for Compressor Technology Pros Compressor Handbook You don't have to scour piles of technical literature for compressor answers any longer. The Compressor Handbook marks the spot where you’ll find all the answers on the design procedures, practical application, and maintenance of compressors—straight from the top experts on these widely used machines. The first-ever comprehensive reference on compressors, the Handbook gives you coverage of everything from fundamentals and theory to advanced applications, techniques, and today's materials. Look inside for sought-after data on compressors that inflate tires, spray paint, increase the density of natural gas, or perform any of a myriad of other important industrial and day-to-day functions. Edited by a leading mechanical engineer widely known for his contributions to seal design, this fully illustrated Compressor Handbook can help you: Understand the structure and operation of compressors of all types. Design or select compressors for any use, from power-cleaning to chemical processes. Follow step-by-step design procedures for fewer errors and optimized results. Specify leading-edge materials, components, and lubricants. Operate and maintain all types of compressors at peak efficiency. Answer questions on and provide designs for ancillary and auxiliary equipment. Invent new applications for compressor technology. Easily find tabular data on gas properties, efficiency curves, compression ratios, and horsepower, plus definitions of nomenclature.
