Pearson - Automotive Heating and Air Conditioning, 5/E

In this section:

Description

For undergraduate automotive courses that specialize in mobile heating and air conditioning, MHVAC, theory and/or service.

Ideal for both novice and advanced technicians, this text is correlated to NATEF and ASE and provides a complete, state-of-the-art source on automotive heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The text focuses on the generic theory that underlies the operation, diagnosis, and repair of the units and subassemblies found in the many makes and types of vehicles students will likely encounter on the job. Formatted to better meet the learning needs of today's technical trade students, it visually supports concepts covered throughout, and includes many practical shop tips that guide students through important problem-solving procedures they'll need on the job.
