5 out of 5 stars THE HVAC TECH'S BIBLE   September 11, 2009
Alvin Ganaishlal
THIS BOOK SHOULD BE CARRIED ALONGSIDE YOUR TOOLS...
THE COMPANION CD-ROM THAT COMES WITH IT IS ALSO USEFUL AND VERY HELPFUL....
IT IS UPDATED, AND PICTURES/DIAGRAMS ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE....



5 out of 5 stars Another great update from Whitman & Johnson!   August 6, 2009

This book is super. Having been an HVAC/R student, technician, and now teacher of the subject, I must say that Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Technology, 6th edition is the de facto bible of the HVAC/R field.

Two other authors have been added since the first edition in 1989: Tomczyk (2000) and Silberstein (2008). The updates on this book only get better and better, continuing to cover more areas like the new refrigeration laws and even green energy.

All technical questions are clearly explained, and in the back, there are hypothetical service questions related to real-life situations.

This book is a must! If you are an instructor of the subject like I am, advise your students to own a copy of it. You won't be steering them in the wrong direction.

Bought this book while I was in technical school because I felt the Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning book we had for class wasn't sufficient. Its a way better book in my opinion.


3 out of 5 stars A decent textbook   July 13, 2009

A good book for basic knowledge on HVAC, but not so much for a reference book for those already working in the field. Shipping was prompt and the book was in new condition.
