Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, 22nd Edition, offers technical instruction for HVAC students in grades 9 through 14 and industry technicians. Designed to build comprehensive mechanical and electrical competencies, this textbook addresses fundamental physical principles, system operation, and routine service procedures across environmental control equipment.
The text covers residential, commercial, and industrial climate control configurations. Dedicated chapters detail gas-fired, oil-fired, electric, geothermal, and hydronic heating systems alongside air-source heat pumps. Expanded coverage highlights recent industry changes, including low-GWP A2L refrigerants and seasonal energy efficiency ratio 2 (SEER2) rating systems. Supplementary units focus on basic electricity, electrical power distribution, electronic components, electric motors, and control circuit troubleshooting.
To reinforce theoretical concepts with practical application, the learning program includes over 200 lab activities to give students hands-on practice. This structured approach aligns with secondary technical centers, community college diploma programs, and apprentice training environments requiring verified trade knowledge.
