Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A full-length, comprehensive introduction to residential and light commercial HVAC-R systems, written for students entering trade and technical training programs and for the instructors who teach them.

Modern HVAC-R Systems: Principles, Installation, and Servicing takes the reader from the physical fundamentals of heat, pressure, and electricity through the complete vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, compressors, condensers, evaporators, and metering devices, into full system types: air distribution and ductwork, gas and oil furnaces, heat pumps, and the controls and building automation that tie modern equipment together. The second half of the book turns to the engineering and field side of the trade: load calculation and equipment sizing, installation practices and startup procedure, and a closing, unified troubleshooting framework paired with a full preventive maintenance program.

Every chapter follows the same structure: stated learning objectives, worked numerical examples using realistic system values, practice problems with a verified answer key, and original line-art diagrams illustrating cycles, wiring paths, and equipment. Safety - electrical, refrigerant, and combustion - is treated as inseparable from technical competence throughout rather than confined to a single chapter, and several chapters close with a worked case study tracing a real-feeling service call from reported symptom to confirmed root cause.

Whether used as a primary classroom text, a self-study reference for someone entering the trade, or a refresher for a working technician filling in gaps in their formal training, this book aims to connect the theory a technician actually needs to the procedures a technician actually performs on the job.
