About this title

Synopsis:

The second edition of this text aims to provide comprehensive service and troubleshooting-oriented coverage of all phases of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration. The first three sections provide the background information necessary to establish basic knowledge, with the remaining sections covering commercial refridgeration, electric motors, heating and humidification, cooling, all weather systems, and domestic appliances. Coverage moves in an orderly fashion from the basics to the more complex, so that knowledge is put into practice with a variety of popular systems. This book should be of interest to professionals and students of HVAC.
