If you want to read this book or any other from this author just buy Troubleshooting and Servicing Modern AC and Refrigeration systems all ESCO press did was reprint the same info word for word from the above mentioned book and put into three other books by the same author. I bought three other books by this suthor and its the same book.

the worst thing about this book is it went into detail on the wrong things.. i.e. liquid amplification, etc.

for 20 bucks it's okay.. but the author is supposed to be well known in the refrigeration field and the title of the book was on refrigeration and charging and should have stuck to a solid foundation on how refrigeration works and how to charge.. in depth that would have given valuable information.. subjects that should have been covered in depth are airflow, humidity, heat load, etc.. how pressures and temperatures move heat and how to accurately measure when a unit is properly charged and what affects making that determination, i.e. heat load etc.. all in all like i said 20 bucks is not much to spend and it mostly gives you that in value.. so it wasn't money wasted.. it just could have been a better book..

If you know basic's but don't know how to charge a walk-in freezer, then this is the book to have. Also, refrigerators, small residential, etc. Althought the superheat and subcool chapter is superb, I already knew most, (not all) of that. But now I know how to charge a walk-in freezer by the sightglass, etc. That is exactly why I bought this book. It also includes the hard to find generic superheat charts.

It provides a very concise and brief description of the procedures for charging refrigeration systems.
