Author Description

<p><i>Temperature and Humidity Independent Control (THIC) of Air-conditioning System</i> focuses on temperature and humidity independent control (THIC) systems, which represents a new concept and new approach for indoor environmental control. This book presents the main components of the THIC systems, including dehumidification devices, high-temperature cooling devices and indoor terminal devices. Other relevant issues, such as operation and control strategy and case studies, are also included.</p><p>This book is intended for air-conditioning system designers and engineers as well as researchers working with indoor environments.</p><p><b>Xiaohua Liu</b> is an associate professor at the Building Energy Research Center, Tsinghua University, China. <b>Yi Jiang</b> is a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the director of the Building Energy Research Center, Tsinghua University, China and the director of the China-USA Joint Research Center on Clean Energy. <b>Tao Zhang</b> is a Ph.D. candidate at the Building Energy Research Center, Tsinghua University, China.</p>
