Heat Pumps,
2E
by Eugene Silberstein
Succeed in your
HVAC/R program and prepare for your career as a technician with HEAT
PUMPS, 2E.
This full color, reader-friendly book helps
you master the how to’s of installing, servicing, and maintaining
air source, water source, and geothermal heating pumps.
Fifteen
dedicated troubleshooting chapters provide ample
opportunities for you to apply each of the steps required for
successful completion of every service call.
The Second Edition addresses the latest green
building codes and includes a wide range of built-in learning aids
and real-life examples to help you develop the knowledge and skills
they will need on the job.
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 50 "For Discussion"
topics excite and challenge readers while providing
instructors with opportunities to encourage
thought-provoking in-class debate.
- Cutaway views of devices allow
readers to see inside the system as they explore the
operation and function of each of its components in
detail.
- Three chapters aid readers in
developing the ability to read and interpret electrical
schematic and ladder diagrams for air source, water
source, and geothermal heat pump systems, a skill
required of all successful technicians.
- Objectives and a brief
introduction, plus an overview of the concepts to be
presented in each chapter, help readers to zero in on
must-know information.
- Chapter-end summaries, plus
hundreds of chapter-end review questions, underscore key
points while providing an effective means for readers to
gauge their understanding.
- An extensive glossary helps
readers master the use of key technical and industry
terms.
NEW to this
Edition:
- Eight new chapters cover the
latest advances and technologies in the field,
expanding the number of chapters from 19 to 27.
- New
"green" sidebars throughout the book provide
tips on energy efficiency and address the latest Green
Building codes.
- New topics include
inverter-controlled compressors, variable refrigerant
flow, ductless split systems, ductless split heat pump
systems with heat recovery, ductless split system
installation, and pressure enthalpy.
- A new full color, reader-friendly
design with mostly new art work makes technical topics
easier to understand.
- Coverage of geothermal heat pump
systems is greatly expanded.
- Discussions on COP, EER, SEER,
and HSPF have been expanded and a greater
