4.0 out of 5 stars good general reference, July 19, 2003
This review is from: Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Hardcover)
We have used this book as a study textbook for the last two semesters at college. As a student it has proven to be very useful. It has very good illustrations and diagrams along with helpful insight to the nuts and bolts of all A/C units. Where the frustration part comes in and is a mystery to me is what ever department that was responsible for reviewing the end of chapter questions and the questions in the test bank dropped the ball. It is quite evident that the questions and the text don't correspond. This leads one to believe that the department that is responsible for test questions and chapter questions do not have a back-ground in Air Conditioning / Refrigeration. I have used a lot of frustrating time in a futile effort to match answers with text. Its a shame that such an informative textbook be degraded on default.

5.0 out of 5 stars Textbook of technical schools, December 6, 2001

Jose J. Grajales (Aguadilla, PR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Hardcover)
This book is the core textbook of the technical schools here in Puerto Rico, my father has been instructor of refrigeration and air conditioning for 35 years and this book (recent and previous editions)has been the choice for this course. It contains all the technical information needed for the beginer, and is an excellent reference book for the technician.
Currently I'm teaching refrigeration and air conditioning also, and our institute also uses Modern Refrigeration as a student textbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars It all begins right here, May 30, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Hardcover)
This is the only book you need, but if the book has one weak area, I recommend a comprehensive electronics overview to complement this book, such as Ronald A. Reis' "Understanding Electronic and Computer Technology", as more air conditioning and refrigerations applications move into enhanced micro-electronics components. The better companies need articulate people who can speak and write well for their customer base, so I also recommend "Plain English at Work", by Edward P. Bailey, or "Basic Grammar in Use", by Raymond Murphy.
