Refrigeration
Principles, Practices, and Performance
Designed to provide a basic,
straightforward overview of the concepts and principles of HVAC and
refrigeration, this book is ideal for readers with a limited amount
of experience in the field.
Refrigeration Principles,
Practices and Performance begins with an introduction to the
basics of refrigeration and HVAC, and then quickly progresses into
specific equipment components, eliminating overly technical and
lengthy information that is found in many traditional industry
books.
The focus on presenting the
essentials with a simple, easy-to-understand approach makes this
book valuable for any reader seeking to master and apply basic
refrigeration and HVAC principles.
Chris Langley graduated
