If you want a head full of worthless knowledge buy this book. Not one HVAC/R mechanic in a hundred-thousand knows the meaning of words like "adiabatic" and "enthalpy." You can master this book and not be able to fix a single air conditioner. Moreover, the practical information in this book is wrong. It tells you for brazing copper tubing to set the oxygen regulator to 10-14 psi, and the acetlyene regulator to 5-10 psi. These settings are for cutting steel, not brazing copper. In reality they both oxygen and acetylene should be set at 4 or 5 psi. Moreover, they do not tell you how to purge your oxygen and acetylene hoses. They don't tell you to stand to the side when you turn them on, and to turn them on slowly. They do not advise you to use flashback arrestors.
Moveover, anyone using an oxy-acytelene torch to make HVAC/R repairs is crazy. Today, smart techs us a Turbo torch with an MC tank. Which would you rather carry up a ladder through a small opening in a roof, a bulky 50 pound oxy-acytelene rig, or a 5 pound Turbo torch with an MC tank. The guys who wrote this book never worked in the field, never used a cordless drill, and must be in their late 90s.
All the material is out of date. HVAC/R techs haven't used halide leak detectors in 50 years. None of the practical information you need to repair an air conditioning system is in this book. It doesn't even teach you how to wire or diagnose most modern day thermostats.
