Hi adam.
Try ebay first, I've seen there one for $5.
Amazon has second hand books and there are many more places on the web.
Why only in Australia? There is a big world out there and for a small fee, you will get it over there.

FYI, my current copy is Principles of Refrigeration, Second Edition, by Roy J. Dossat. Publishers: John Wiley & Sons, New York, Chichester, Brisbane & Toronto. ISBN# 0-471-03550-5 (any bookstore can order by ISBN#)Quote:

I thought that a next edition always was an improvement of the previous one.Quote:

Is that the same for the ASHRAE books? I thought that a new edition contains the same issues as the previous editions, just actualized to the new techniques. It isn't a complete new book I presume?
Hi :)
mine is the fith edition, but with imperial units, it's all the book shop at Queen Uni Belfast had at the time, must buy a metric copy for convenience. Marc you are right the copy that I used to have that I let a guy and never got back was in the good old days before HFC refrigerants were popular, much clearer and better content.
Kind Regards. Andy :)
If I'm not mistaken, Roy Dossat is deceased and the newest edition has been revised by Thomas Horan.Quote:
