Heat Pumps
by Eugene Silberstein
A comprehensive, yet reader-friendly source of
information about modern heat pump technology, as well as the
vapor-compression refrigeration system on which it is based, Heat
Pumps is the perfect choice for future service technicians.
The book begins by introducing the four major
components that make up the vapor-compression system: compressor,
condenser, metering device, and evaporator. Other system-level
components essential to efficient heat pump operation are also
addressed, including: cooling towers, pressure controls, safety
devices, and thermostats.
Subsequent chapters enable readers equipped
with a basic understanding of how heat pumps operate to launch
directly into detailed examination of the electrical circuits of the
vapor-compression refrigeration system as well as the operation of
individual system components.
In addition to gaining exposure to different
heat pump system configurations (including the increasingly popular
geothermal system), dedicated troubleshooting chapters provide
abundant opportunities to gain practice in applying the seven steps
required for successful completion of every service call.
Ample pedagogy plus real-life and simplified
examples appear throughout the book, maximizing learning and
minimizing the frustration often associated with the study of such a
highly-technical, complex topic.
Features:
- each system component
is treated separately, allowing readers to concentrate fully on a
single component before attempting to assemble all of the pieces
of the heat pump puzzle
- more than thirty sample
service calls based on actual scenarios encountered by field
technicians provide practice in troubleshooting and identifying
causes of system failure
- over fifty "For
Discussion" topics are included to excite and challenge readers
while providing instructors with opportunities to encourage
thought-provoking in-class debate
- cutaway views of
devices enhance learning by enabling readers to see inside the
system as they explore the operation and function of each of its
components in detail
- an entire chapter aids
readers in developing the ability to read and interpret electrical
schematic and ladder diagrams, a skill required of all successful
technicians
- Objectives and a brief
introduction, plus an overview of the concepts to be presented in
each chapter, serve as a guide, enabling readers to zero in on
must-know information
- chapter-end summaries,
plus 300 chapter-end review questions, underscore key points while
providing an effective means for readers to gauge their
understanding
- an extensive glossary
is also included to aid readers who may be new to the field in
mastering the use of key technical and industry terms
