  Refrigeration for HVAC Technicians - New Page 2

LAMA Books Releases Refrigeration for the HVAC Technician;
Practical Understanding of Refrigeration in HVAC Systems

At last a book is available that gives HVAC techs a practical understanding of how refrigeration units fit into HVAC systems. Refrigeration for the HVAC Technician is also valuable for more than just HVAC techs.

Because problems in the HVAC system can be caused by refrigeration malfunctions, the trouble-shooting flow charts in this book help techs pinpoint the source of a problem and determine when they can fix the problem themselves and when to call a specialist.

The book also offers practical tips on how to maintain the cooling system at peak performance. It covers these areas:

  • Cooling in the central air handling system
  • Basic principles of refrigeration
  • Basic compression refrigeration cycle
  • Chillers and different types of compressors
  • Spotting problems
  • Maintaining the HVAC cooling system

A bonus feature is an English to Spanish Glossary of HVAC refrigeration terms.

HVAC expert Leo A. Meyer, who has authored over 50 books on the HVAC industry, recognized the need for this book. As he says,

HVAC techs are always asking me for more information on refrigeration. They need the basic information that can help make their work easier. This book explains how refrigeration units work and how they fit into the complete HVAC system. Refrigeration Service Techs will find it useful in understanding how the cooling system works as part of an HVAC system."

Meyer adds that the book would be especially useful for TAB, IAQ, and Commissioning techs.
