The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Troubleshooting Handbook, 2nd Edition covers both electric and electronic controls in depth. Using at-a-glance charts, cross-referenced to specific sections of the text, it encompasses control operation, adjustment, troubleshooting, installation, and use, and provides start-up procedures for different types of units, representative wiring diagrams for some types of equipment, safety procedures, and useful engineering data.

NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, has been providing information and criteria vital to safety in the built environment since first developed back in 1899. This ANSI-approved standard for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning covers provisions for stopping the migration of smoke and reducing the chance of fire, gases, and related hazards in forced air systems.

From general definitions and requirements to the integration of ventilation and air-conditioning with building construction, controls, and acceptance testing, NFPA 90A is a valuable resource for helping to protect lives and property and staying up to code. You get complete information on all areas of construction, operation, and maintenance of systems, including filters, ducts, and other equipment.

In the event of a fire emergency, fire, smoke, and gases can quickly spread through heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, elevating the risk of injury and loss. NFPA 90B, Standard for the Installation of Warm Air Heating and Air-Conditioning Systems, provides complete provisions for the construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of HVAC equipment, including filters, ducts, and related components. The standard applies to indoor systems in one- and two-family dwellings and buildings under 25,000 cubic feet.

Every year, there are thousands of fires in eating and drinking establishments, posing a significant risk of injuries, fatalities, and millions of dollars in damages. NFPA 96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, provides broad-based preventive and operative fire safety requirements for the design, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of commercial kitchens.

The standard covers requirements for all types of cooking equipment, fans, stove exhaust hoods, grease removal devices, cooking exhaust systems, fire-suppression systems, and clearance to combustibles. Provisions apply to both public and private kitchens as well as commercial cooking operations involving residential cooking equipment.

The 2018 edition of NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code strengthens and clarifies performance criteria using a risk-based approach that focuses on the level of risk to patients and staff rather than the type of building. The Code covers installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and safe practices for health care equipment, systems, and facilities, including medical gas and vacuum systems. Updates in this edition expand the Code’s scope, such as clearer risk-assessment responsibilities, approval of oxygen concentrators as central supply sources, allowance of corrugated medical tubing, reorganization of electrical system requirements, new provisions for wireless phone and clinical information system integration, consolidated hyperbaric ITM requirements, and a new chapter dedicated to dental gas and vacuum piping. It also adds fire extinguisher selection criteria for spaces unique to health care settings. NFPA 99 helps keep facilities compliant and safe for patients and staff, serving contractors, engineers, facility managers, AHJs, system installers, insurers, and manufacturers.
