Tolley's Basic Science and Practice of Gas Service

<p>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.</p>
