Overview of Heat Pump Course
Written for those individuals who already have a basic background in refrigeration and air conditioning, this two-volume course, published in 2004, covers heat pump fundamentals, components, applications, installation and service. Heat gain and heat loss calculations based on ACCA’s Manual J are included, as are troubleshooting guides for both the electrical and refrigeration systems.
All types of heat pump systems – both packaged systems and split systems – are studied, including air-to-air heat pumps, water-source heat pumps, and various kinds of special-purpose heat pumps such as high-efficiency and multi-capacity units. The use of supplemental and auxiliary heat is discussed. The course also features a simplified performance guide/checklist for servicing heat pumps in both the heating and cooling cycles.
