Electricity for Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning
|
Description: |
Seventh Edition
Author: Gene Smith |
Ideal for students and beginning technicians,
Electricity for Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning, 7E
zeroes in on the basic electrical principles necessary to understand
today's modern control systems.
This extraordinarily practical approach allows
readers to focus exclusively on the electronics information they
will use in the field, without bogging them down in unnecessary
theory.
Chapter 9 includes new information on motor
frames and electronically commutated motors, ECM. Such as the
circuits being discussed in schematic diagrams, as well as the
direction of the current flow within circuits.
As in past editions, emphasis is on developing
systematic diagnosis and troubleshooting methods and procedures in
order to enable readers to become highly-skilled, professional
HVAC-R service technicians.
A comprehensive glossary is also included to
assist those who are new to the field in understanding and using
industry terms.
Features:
- learning objectives,
definitions of key terms, summaries, plus plenty of review
questions are included in every chapter to increase comprehension
and improve retention
- new photos and
illustrations encourage readers to apply information presented in
the book directly to modern equipment, components, and control
systems
- symbols are introduced
and used consistently, and schematic diagrams of 12 specific
applications used in industry are explored, enabling readers to
become expert troubleshooters
- in-depth discussion of
the types, designs, starting components, and diagnosis and
troubleshooting procedures for single-phase motors mirrors their
importance in the industry
- coverage of contactors,
relays, thermostats, pressure and manual switches, overload, and
other state-of-the-art electrical components prepares readers for
work in the field today
