HVAC/R is a complex trade requiring a tremendous amount of specialized skills and reference information. This new HVAC/R guide contains approximately twice as much content as the previous HVAC Professional Reference guide. With more than 700 pages of extensive information on such important topics as refrigeration systems, piping, ductwork, motors, compressors, fans, pumps and more, this "answer book" is one of the most complete HVAC/R professional references available. Practical troubleshooting techniques and service call procedures for understanding and maintaining all heating and cooling systems are featured. Ample safety coverage and the inclusion of plan symbols, materials, and conversion factors round out the exceptional features of this "must have" pocket reference.
It contains information on:
- Refrigeration Systems
- Piping and Mechanical Piping
- Ductwork
- Motors
- Compressors
- Fans and Pumps
- Service
- Troubleshooting
- Plan Symbols
- Materials
- Conversion Factors, and much more
From the Preface
HVAC/R is a huge trade and requires the combination of various specialized skills. HVAC/R involves the combustion of several types of fuels, various refrigeration systems, piping, ductwork, motors, compressors, fans, pumps, and a fair amount of electrical work.
We previously published a reference book, but found it was too small to include everything that an HVAC/R technician requires. The book you are now holding contains twice the amount of information as the previous edition. I have included much more regarding the core HVAC/R technologies, as well as service, troubleshooting and mechanical piping. This new version gives you the additional reference material that you will need on the job.
Chapter One contains essential HVAC/R formulas along with necessary design data that may be required by a contractor. Chapters Two, Three and Four cover the central technologies of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Chapter Five covers mechanical piping systems. In addition to providing needed information, Chapters Six and Seven also contain useful maintenance forms for a wide variety of service work as well as a section including troubleshooting charts.
Chapter Eight is loaded with information regarding electricity and motors. Chapters Nine, Ten, Eleven, and Twelve contain conversion factors, tools and materials, plan symbols and abbreviations, as well as a detailed glossary.
In all, I think this is the most complete book of its kind, and that you will find it useful and necessary to keep close at hand on a daily basis.
Naturally, there may be some aspects of the HVAC/R trade that are not covered in sufficient depth for some readers. I will update this book on a continual basis and attempt to include material suggested by readers as well as keep pace with developments in the trade.
