• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

One of the areas that remains a mystery to many automotive do-it-yourselfers is climate control: the heating and air-conditioning systems. It is an area that is in need of proper instruction, even for more advanced DIYers. It is a complex system that is difficult to navigate for the uninitiated, which not only involves complex repairs but also has legal concerns surrounding the disposal of hazardous materials. In How to Repair Automotive Air-Conditioning and Heating Systems, technical instructor and HVAC expert Jerry Clemons completely covers both AC systems as well as heating systems, so you can confidently repair your own vehicle. Covered is a history of HVAC systems, airflow throughout the system, the principles of refrigerant, diagnosis of common faults in older systems, testing procedures, and finally repair and, in the case of AC, recharging your system. Also included is proper evacuation and disposal of any residual refrigerant in the system. Components such as compressors, condensers, evaporator and heater cores, pressure switches, and climate control electrics and switches are also covered. Finally, for people with older cars, converting from the no-longer-available R12 to R134a is detailed. Automotive climate control is a complex system that is difficult to repair without proper instruction. Whether you are trying to get your old classic back to its original form or are just looking to save on expensive repairs, author Jerry Clemons and this book provide the knowledge you will need to get your car back on the road and cruising in comfort.
