Carel's books on humidification and evaporative cooling are now available in a digital format.
The books were written to highlight the importance of humidification control and contribute to the body of engineering knowledge. Co-author and Carel CEO, Luigi Nalini, said the books will now be available to a broader audience.
"Making the books available in digital format is a natural adaptation, obligatory in a certain sense. E-books also have the advantage of being environmentally friendly and have a greater accessibility, while keeping with our desire to share knowledge,” he said.
The ‘Air Humidification’ book, co-authored by Renato Lazzarin, full time professor at the University of Padova, is a practical, comprehensive guide, with a structure of closed chapters that can be read independently, to meet theoretical or practical requirements.
The text is addressed in particular to technical designers, providing them with an effective instrument for in-depth investigation of all scientific and technical aspects of air humidification.
'Evaporative Cooling’ focuses on this green technique for reducing electricity consumption in cooling systems thanks to the energy produced by the spontaneous evaporation of a renewable energy source: water.
The book deals with the physical and application aspects of this technique, which is becoming more and more frequent for cooling data centres and eliminating thermal loads in plants for printing, textile factories and all applications where the evaporation of water can be used for cooling purposes. The final chapter of the book contains some case studies illustrating successful applications.
Internationally recognised and presented in various academic contexts, the volumes are available in several languages including Chinese, German, French, Spanish and Italian, in addition to English.
"I hope that taking this work up again and editing it in e-book format will contribute to wider scientific and technical knowledge of this issue, so important in many applications, from well-being in the home to the requirements of industrial processing,” Professor Lazzarin said.
Both volumes are free of charge and can be ordered using the Climate Tools app from CAREL, available for iOS and Android. Alternatively, the e-books can be requested by completing the online form at http://www.carel.com/e-book-request
