Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Technology, Fourth Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is surely one of the best available for its purpose, that is, to give an introduction to the refrigeration and air conditioning technology, and also to teach how to install, service, and maintain all the hardware associated with this.
The text is very well writen, in a very clever language. Graphics are very good, and very helpful to the understanding of topics. Sections dedicated to the electrical and electronic sub-systems were a surprise: they are also very clear, and are very helpful even for experienced technicians. There are even sections dedicated to airflow at conditioned spaces, a matter that isn't very well undestood by technicians.
I strongly suggest this book to the people that wants to start working in this technical area, and also to that who already work with it. Very useful to the begginer and to the experienced technician as well.

Auto Body Repair Technology, Fourth Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used the book for about 3 years. The book is very explanatory, it shows some of the technics that are most used in the trade, in addition, the author puts an emphasis in safety. It does not cover very technical issues, as enginnering. Although, technology is changing fast for the student is it a great tool because it lays the basics in a clear manner.
The book is ideal for the college student, that is because with the complement of other general education courses, the student is able to grasp principles in the book that seem complicated. For example, physics relates to how direct and indirect damage perform in a body vehicle.
Para el estudiante de habla hispana el texto contiene un glosario bilingue.
A plus is that the textbook includes a bilingual glossary, english and spanish.

Electricity for Refrigeration, Heating, and Air Conditioning Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was used in my "Fundamentals of Electricity" course in a technical college air-conditioning (AC) program. It was selected because it was the only text specifically for AC. We used the first third of the book. I'm an older student, have two years of university credits, and have seen a lot of technical and vocational training material. This book is simply awful. I have never had to struggle with a textbook so hard as with this one. Grammatical errors were abundant. The review questions were poorly written. Illustrations were occasionally mis-labeled, out of sequence or just plain wrong. Where the material raised a question, it was often left unanswered, but unasked questions were answered in excruciating detail. I had to use 4 other books to fill gaps left by this one. Most insulting was the price: $108. There are better books that cover basic electricity, some aimed at HVAC. I used Proctor & Mazur's books from ATP to fill some gaps. Additionally, ARI's "Refrigeration and Air Conditioning" has a good treatment, which is clearly written.

Ideal for students and beginning technicians, Electricity for Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning, 7E zeroes in on the basic electrical principles necessary to understand today's modern control systems. This extraordinarily practical approach allows readers to focus exclusively on the electronics information they will use in the field, without bogging them down in unnecessary theory. Chapter 9 includes new information on motor frames and electronically commutated motors, ECM.Such as the circuits being discussed in schematic diagrams, as well as the direction of the current flow within circuits. As in past editions, emphasis is on developing systematic diagnosis and troubleshooting methods and procedures in order to enable readers to become highly-skilled, professional HVAC-R service technicians. A comprehensive glossary is also included to assist those who are new to the field in understanding and using industry terms.

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)as a homeowner considering central air and seeing how idiot contractors screw people firsthand, I wanted to learn as much as I could about refrigeration and HVAC before hiring anybody. This book is great, from a design and selection standpoint on refrigeration all the way to installation and maintenance practices. I can easily see why it's a college textbook, too bad my college texts back in the day didn't explain the subject as well. You can basically read this book and understand refrigeration without taking a class.

(More customer reviews)I've used this book in class at CCRI. It is a very good book to follow and understand, although long winded at times, it is a very good teaching material.
