Mike,
I like it. You made me realize that I have a few checked out that I need to get back. I found a very eager controls student who has some overdue books.
Judging by what you have, I think you would like Thermal Comfort and Cameron Hydraulic Data. Rust is also a fun one.
What is your favorite refrigeration book? I don't really want to get into that business, just would like a better understanding of what's what. I book on theory and general troubleshooting would be nice.
Thanks,

Zman, I just added both of those books to my Amazon list. I'll pick them up soon.
I have two favorite AC/Refrigeration books. The first is the Modern AC and Refrigeration text book. I learned a ton from it.

My next favorite one is called Commercial Refrigeration by **** Wirz. He used to be the head of the AC department at a local community college here in VA. Great book.

This is just my trade book shelf. I have larger shelves with my other hobby - physics and space. I think books written by astronauts are my favorite. Favorite book of all time is still Chris Hadfield's, "An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth."Never stop learning.0 -
I have Dan Holohan to blame for my obsession with books. I read The Lost Art and it blew me away. I had no idea how much you could learn from simply reading a book.Roohollah said:Great and encouraging for new comers like me to keep on learning and studying .

I'm disappointed Carl. Only 1 chess book (it's not a bad one)?Zman said:Mike,

@Zman,
If your looking for something good for refrigeration basics go to the Emerson site and look for "Copeland Refrigeration Handbook" you can download it for free. I have read and re read this for years easy to read has a ton of info1 -

Small library and totally influenced by Dan Holohan.
The "We Got Steam Heat!" copies I give away to my steam clients which are very few.
The only chess book I have is "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" about David Bronstein, the chess master, written by my cousin.
I just realized my John Siegenthaler "Modern Hydronic Heating" edition is missing. I just may have to buy another one unless I can remember who I loaned it to.
