5 out of 5 stars Great Refrigeration Resource   October 9, 2008

This book is great for beginners as well as experienced technicians. Every explanation is detailed with pictures and graphs. All types of refrigeration applications are covered with the how to detail for installing and understanding every component in the system, including helpful tips and safety recommendations.


5 out of 5 stars Another great update from Whitman & Johnson!   August 6, 2009

This book is super. Having been an HVAC/R student, technician, and now teacher of the subject, I must say that Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Technology, 6th edition is the de facto bible of the HVAC/R field.

Two other authors have been added since the first edition in 1989: Tomczyk (2000) and Silberstein (2008). The updates on this book only get better and better, continuing to cover more areas like the new refrigeration laws and even green energy.

All technical questions are clearly explained, and in the back, there are hypothetical service questions related to real-life situations.

This book is a must! If you are an instructor of the subject like I am, advise your students to own a copy of it. You won't be steering them in the wrong direction.

Bought this book while I was in technical school because I felt the Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning book we had for class wasn't sufficient. Its a way better book in my opinion.
