Customer Reviews

Modern Refrigeration Resource

Thanks to the length of time this book has been available and the frequent revisions to the copyright, it continues to get bigger and better as time goes on. My bookshelf has at least 5 of those revisions that frequently get utilized . Each revision builds upon the prior publication and expands on the detail they provide. This publication represents an established reference standard for the HVAC/R Industry. It is especially valuable because of the extent of the different technical topics presented within its covers. Some have tried to copy the format and the content but still fail to match its quality and level of professionalism.

Textbook of technical schools

This book is the core textbook of the technical schools here in Puerto Rico, my father has been instructor of refrigeration and air conditioning for 35 years and this book (recent and previous editions)has been the choice for this course. It contains all the technical information needed for the beginer, and is an excellent reference book for the technician. Currently I'm teaching refrigeration and air conditioning also, and our institute also uses Modern Refrigeration as a student textbook.

Modern Refrigeration and A/C

This is the book that I used through my entire 2 year curriculum while earning my Associate Degree in AC & R Technology. It is very detailed and explains content for beginners and pro's alike.It has also been a good companion in the field. It describes just about every formula related to the field. It comes with good heat content charts for many popular refrigerants to allow the calculations for BTU/H. If you are planning a career or already in , you should have this book.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND BOOK!

I'm a mechanical engineer, and have never found a so complete and easy-to-understand book. It focus on every aspect I have concern about, and is deep in theory and practical views for refrigeration and its basic principles. You should buy this book if you'd like to succeed in the field of refrigeration, it's just great!
