    Hi

    I've got quite a good book, its mainly A/C but it does deal with all aspects of refrigeration and electrical components, compressors, loading pressure control expansion valve settings, faults on all componenets etc

    It's called REFREPAIR manual by KOTZA

    Re: troubleshooting books

    Hello Guys,

    Anyone of the team can provide an electronic copy and post it here a copy of the book by S. Elonka on Standard Refeigeration and Air-Conditioning: Questions and Answers. I saw this book but I did not acquire it. It's very informative book on troubleshooting.

    Re: troubleshooting books

    the book that superswill is directing you to is great as a glovebox book to refresh your memory late at night when the brain starts to freeze. i can also recommend gary's books. like he says in them most of use the processes he lays down, but he actually thought about it and published. well worth the money.
    as a general refrigeration book you can't go wrong with roy dossat's book although it could do with being updated yet again to include the new refrigerants and technologies.
    the "modern refrigeration etc" is too big to carry around and in my humble opinion doesnt cover anything that other b

    that other books dont cover as well or in most cases better. it really should only be bought by nvq students to see them through parts 1 and 2 of the course.
