Technicians
trained on air conditioning systems are often required to apply
their skills to the servicing of commercial refrigeration equipment.
This book provides
a solid foundation in comfort cooling that can be readily
transferred to a broad understanding of medium and low temperature
refrigeration equipment such as walk-ins, reach-ins, refrigerated
cases, and ice machines.
Coverage specific to refrigeration in the
food service industry is emphasized, with scores of practical tips
that technicians can use right away in the installation and service
of commercial equipment.
Helpful tips and
sound advice from the experienced author and his employees add a
personal touch to the comprehensive coverage, increasing interest
in, and retention of, key concepts.
This book will improve
technicians’ knowledge, efficiency, and effectiveness in commercial
refrigeration and can serve as a permanent addition to the reference
library in any truck or shop.
