Practical Problems for Mathematics for Heating and Cooling

An excellent refresher or reference source, this book provides HVAC technicians with a simple presentation of basic mathematical concepts—and how they apply in the field. Numerous figures help technicians visualize the practice problems presented in the book, all of which relate directly to HVAC. Detailed mathematical charts—for conversion equivalents, formulas, trig functions, and heat transfer multipliers—present critical field information at a glance, while a unit on bill writing helps technicians deal with the public.
