A set of enhancements to the ASHRAE Handbook are presentedto demonstrate the effectiveness ofmultimedia and advancedpresentation techniques, suchas three-dimensional computergraphics, visualization, and animation techniques. These results can also serve as a model and guide for the broader use ofthese techniques in other ASHRAEpublica tions. In this paper, we present a set of enhancements to the ASHRAE Handbook that demonstrate the effectiveness of multimedia and advanced presentation techniques, such as three-dimensional computer graphics, visualization, and animation techniques. This demonstration is also meant to serve as a model and guide for the broader use ofthese tech niques in other ASHRAEpublications. The enhanced chapter is intended to be used in the CD-ROM version of the Hand book, which is also posted onASHRAE'sweb site, andcan be used in other ways to promote the effectiveness of improved presentation techniques and the value of ASHRAE informa tion resources. Using compressors as the subject, the research project 1017 expandedon the material containedin Chapter 34 of the HVAC Systems and EqUipment Handbook (ASHRAE 1996).
