Biography
James (Jim) Moody has over 40 years of experience working continuously in the field of piped gases, particularly in the healthcare industry and for industrial, scientific, and university laboratories, which includes working as a Project Manager and Design Engineer on multimillion-dollar projects. He was a lecturer at Sydney University, Australia, and worked for various consulting engineering associations, hydraulics engineers associations, and the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers. Over the years James has been involved in the design and development of products and equipment associated with the controls and alarms for gas reticulation systems, winning the Australian Design Award for his tourniquet control panel used in operating theaters.
“Long overdue and finally fills a void that has been present in this industry for many decades. It deals with the design and safe installation of different gas systems and is written in plain English suitable for both the novice or expert. Importantly it is written in texbook style where each chapter is complete by itself in dealing with each specific gas and thereby not necessitating that each reader read the entire document. . . . In my personal experience, if a book like this had existed three decades ago, my own work would have been much improved. . . . It is this type of [the author’s] personal knowledge that this book describes that has been gathered over a lifetime career. I cannot recommend this book more highly for those of us that always want the get things perfectly correct.”
—From the Foreword by Professor Klaus Matthaei, PhD, Head (retired), Gene Targeting & Stem Cell Laboratory, The John Curtin School of Medical Research, The Australian National University.
