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.

Description:
This manual prepares HVAC-R technicians with the knowledge needed to respond
professionally to current and future environmental challenges. It begins with
discussion of HVAC fundamentals and core topics, such as: refrigerant chemistry,
oils, ozone depletion, global warming, and the Montreal protocol. Subsequent
sections, each conveniently organized around a specific certification type,
allow readers to delve into specific technical information, regulations, and
procedures pertaining to small appliances; recovery, recycling, and reclaim; and
chillers. Relevant forms, logs, and reports, plus a comprehensive glossary, are
also included in handy appendices. In a field where technology change is the
norm, and regulations are increasingly requiring HVAC-R technicians to adopt new
procedures in order to contend with environmental problems, this manual serves
as both an effective test preparation guide and an indispensable professional
field reference.
Benefits:
Prepares technicians for the Type I (small appliance), Type II (recovery,
recycling and reclaim) and Type III (chillers) certification tests mandated by
the EPA under section 608 of the Clean Air Act.
Detailed drawings, illustrations, and procedural charts are used effectively
to supplement the text, guiding users to a complete understanding of "must-know"
technical information.
A chapter on Refrigeration and Air Conditioning System Fundamentals with
diagrams of many systems and components has been included in this edition.
The chapters on refrigerants and oil, refrigerant chemistry, small appliances,
recovery, recycling and reclaim, and chillers have been updated to reflect the
most recent industrial changes and legislation.
An all-new chapter on ozone depletion and global warming is included in this
edition, underscoring the significance of these environmental issues on HVAC-R
industry practice.
Sample test questions with answers, plus tips for overcoming test-taking
anxiety, are contained in an appendix, enabling readers to prepare thoroughly
for certification exams.
The accompanying Instructor's Guide facilitates use of the manual in
traditional academic settings and technician training seminars, reducing
instructor preparation time.
