TECHNICAL DATA MANUAL IN CD FORMAT
The data manual is written in the form of a disc-based website that starts with a dynamic
index. This makes it very easy to find information on any topic just by clicking on the hot
links. We have developed the content from the basics much like a text book. The object is
not to teach refrigeration and air conditioning, rather it is to provide a rich source of reference
material. Some of the information is better handled by software and where appropriate, we
have included a number of software programs. Some of these are: a psychrometric chart
generator, refrigerant properties, heat transfer coefficient calculator and a world locations
database. The contents cover a broad range of subjects highly releva nt to HVAC & R.
DREOSTI MEMORIAL LECTURE
The Dreosti Memorial lecture gives honour and recognition to the outstanding academic and
research achievements of the founder of SAIRAC and his exemplary service to the Institute.
From time to time, SAIRAC invites a world-renowned expert in the field of air conditioning
and refrigeration to present the Dreosti Memorial Lecture in each of the regional Centres.
The objective with these lectures is to provide information that is not only topical and
interesting, but useful and constructive to individuals working in our Industry.
