Books on air conditioning and heat pumps

Aug 26, 2008 7 Replies

I am interested in increasing the efficiency of a central air conditioner system. Does anyone have any recommendations on books that have information on geothermal system design.



I feel I am fully qualified to do any work that is required as I once built a fence and have installed water faucets.

Aren't you the same guy that invented the finger in the light socket fireworks display?

Have you worked on HVAC equipment, already?

The nice thing about geothermal, the condensor temps can be a lot lower than the temp of the outdoor air. Water cooled centrifugal condensor is a good thing. You also need less alki foam to keep it clean.

Do I really need an EPA license to buy a book?

Hey Dumbass, re-read your post... specifically this quote:

"I feel I am fully qualified to do any work that is required as I once built a fence and have installed water faucets."

So as I see it... you want to do the work. Otherwise, *why* would you have included this comment?

Sorry it is an inside joke. Some of the people here will get it. It isn't as if building a fence and installing a water faucet have much to do with HVAC.

I really do not get it. I ask for recommendations on books and absolutely no one has any recommendations. No positive recommendations, no negative recommendations.

It is not as if I am asking how to do something. And it isn''t as if I am going to go into business and compete with any of you. I am retired and find I don't want to work hard. I have too much fun doing things in my shop. Doesn't anyone here have any good or bad books.

I rummaged around on the internet and found a site that has pretty good information an ground source heat pumps. It is

And I can take courses at the local community/ tech college at pretty much no cost since I am over sixty. But I would still like to have a good book or two that people in the trade think are worth having.

Maybe if I recommend a book someone will respond.

If you want to know more about nothing, then I recommend
