There has never been a truly comprehensive textbook on air conditioning and refrigeration that includes both theory and practical knowledge. I hope this book becomes a foundational resource for those who have relied solely on word-of-mouth learning in this field.This book is not limited to text and photos-it also includes video content. By scanning the QR codes embedded in the book with a smartphone, readers can access supplementary videos that demonstrate key concepts and techniques.I gave a lot of thought to defining the target audience. Rather than beginners, I aimed this book at intermediate-level learners. I intentionally avoided covering basic tasks that can be easily followed after watching a single tutorial. Instead, I focused on the more complex and nuanced aspects of the field.Naturally, this led to a heavier emphasis on electrical systems, as most technicians at the intermediate level tend to focus more on electrical components. If you find certain sections difficult, feel free to skip ahead and return later. The book is designed so that you can dive deeper as your interest and understanding grow.As you read through the content, you'll notice that I haven't simply quoted or copied from other books. Every chapter is the result of careful thought, hands-on experience, and a desire to share practical knowledge. While I've done my best to make this book as complete as possible, I don't claim it to be perfect. My methods are not the only way-just one of many approaches. I hope they serve as a helpful reference in your own work.If you have questions about the content or suggestions for improvement, I welcome your feedback and will do my best to reflect it in future editions.This book was originally written in Korean and published in January 2025. Encouraged by readers who believed it would be valuable to a global audience, I've taken the step to translate it into English. I hope it proves useful to technicians and learners around the world.
