Description
Automotive Air-conditioning and Climate Control Systems is a complete text and reference on the theoretical, practical and legislative
aspects of vehicle climate control systems for automotive engineering students and service professionals. It provides the reader with
a thorough up-to-date knowledge of current A/C systems, refrigerants and the new possible replacement systems like CO2, and includes
unrivalled coverage of electronic and electrical control.
Filling the gap in the automotive engineering and servicing market for students
and those training on the job, this book will help both newcomers and those with more experience of air-conditioning systems maintenance
engineering to keep up with the latest developments and legislation.
Audience
Student and trainee automotive engineers, plus professional reference in all areas of automotive HVAC; Additionally equipment and training
providers and a number of other private and collegial institutions which offer specialist HVAC training
