Well written, easy to understand, every tech should own this
This book walks you through the basics of refrigeration and explains both mechanical and system operation very plainly. Good book for technicians of all calibers. List of real life refrigeration problems and symptoms. Great for troubleshooting. Explains and describes refrigerant changeovers and proceedures. Explains effect of the chlorine atom in refrigerants and global warming. Details differant systems and components with advantages and disadvantages. Good truck material.

Well layed out and completely covers basics of HVAC.
This book is layed out well and completely covers the basics of HVAC. Any person who has used NAVEDTRA Manuals will find this to be both similar in lay-out and comprehensity of subject. It is inexpensive for the depth of knowledge contained. For the price, I don't worry that it may get wear and tear as I carry it around in my service van. You may be interested in Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Althouse, Turnquist, and Bracciano/ 18th Edition) the ultimate inclusive textbook as used in trade schools and colleges. It is relatively expensive but worth the investment for a career person. I have both.

Will not recommeded, useless information.
Well written book if it's still 1995, this book is out-dated and ancient. It was published in 1995, it don't even cover any of the tools and gauges we use today to trouble shoot or service the modern air conditioner or Refrigeration Systems. This book should be thrown away, it had useless information as of June 2007.
