Today's Technician: Automotive Heating & Air Conditioning Classroom Manual and Shop Manual 7th Edition by Mark Schnubel
Quick Navigation

Overview

Reflecting the latest trends, technology and relevant ASE Education Foundation standards, Schnubel's TODAY'S TECHNICIAN: AUTOMOTIVE HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING CLASSROOM MANUAL AND SHOP MANUAL, 7th edition, combines theory and hands-on application in an integrated, two-book set. This innovative approach enables students to learn fundamental climate control theory -- including basic physics related to heat transfer -- before putting their knowledge into practice through hands-on shop work. Cross-references in each manual link related material, making it easy to connect classroom learning to lab and shop activity. The 7th edition includes extensive discussions on the characteristics and service of R-1234yf (HFO-1234yf) systems. It's the ideal resource for anyone interested in ASE certification or the principles, components, diagnosis and repair of modern automotive heating and air conditioning systems. Also available: MindTap.
