Tolley's Basic Science and Practice of Gas Service

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