Order # 1-4018-4901-6
Based on national skill standards, this full-color, comprehensive HVAC book is
intended for aspiring technicians and covers the installation, startup, and
service of residential air conditioning and heating systems. The first section
explores matter, energy, heat, and the basic refrigeration processes, with a
view towards building a working knowledge of the behavior of heat and how it is
transferred. Detailed information on safety issues and the system installation
process follows, with step-by-step procedures that clearly illustrate the key
skills needed to properly install a system. The startup and service section
shows readers the steps that must be followed to make certain that air flow
through the system is correct and that the amount of refrigerants in the
systems is within an acceptable range. Coverage concludes with the installation
and service of oil, gas, electric, and geothermal heating systems, as well as
boilers, hydronic heating, and radiant heating.
Book Features Include:
- instruction on the safe and proper handling of refrigerants ensures safety,
as well as compliance with fereal laws
- step-by-step instructions on taking pressure and temperature readers at
strategic locations in the system and correctly interpreting those readings
ensures that the system will operate properly for years to come
- detailed troubleshooting chapters cover common electrical and mechanical
problems so that readers can learn real-world problem-solving techniques, and
feature sample service calls that take readers through the troubleshooting
process
- “Tech Toolbelt” sections educate readers on the tools they are likely to use
on the job
- “From Experience” boxes highlight proven methods used by HVAC professionals
to get the job done right the first time, on time
- “Cautions” bring to light potential safety hazards and instruct readers on
the avoidance of injuries on any construction jobsite
