Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

Air Conditioning and Refrigeration



An introduction to the basic principles and practices of
the air-conditioning and refrigeration industry is more
than just a review of the facts and figures. It requires a
complete look at the industry. This text presents the
basics of all types of refrigeration. It explains the
equipment that makes it possible for us to live comfortably
in air-conditioned spaces and enjoy a wide
variety of foods.
Up-to-date methods of equipment maintenance
are stressed. The latest tools are shown. The applications
of the newer types of units are emphasized. The
field of air-conditioning technology is still growing
and will continue to grow far into the future. New
technicians will need to be aware of the fact that
change is inevitable. They will have to continue to
keep up with the latest developments as long as they
stay in the field.
This textbook has been prepared to aid in instructional
programs in high schools, technical schools,
trade schools, and community colleges. Adult evening
classes and apprenticeship programs may also find it
useful. This book provides a thorough knowledge of
the basics and a sound foundation for anyone entering
the air-conditioning and refrigeration field.
The authors would like to give a special thanks to
Mr. Burt Wallace who is an instructor in the air conditioning
and refrigeration program in Tyler Junior College
and Mr. Andy Bugg an AC Applications Engineer for one
of the largest air conditioning manufacturers for their
most valuable contributions to the book. Both live in Tyler,
Texas.
