Heat Pumps by Eugene Silberstein
A comprehensive, yet reader-friendly source of information about modern heat pump technology, as well as the vapor-compression refrigeration system on which it is based, Heat Pumps is the perfect choice for future service technicians. The book begins by introducing the four major components that make up the vapor-compression system: compressor, condenser, metering device, and evaporator. Other system-level components essential to efficient heat pump operation are also addressed, including: cooling towers, pressure controls, safety devices, and thermostats. Subsequent chapters enable readers equipped with a basic understanding of how heat pumps operate to launch directly into detailed examination of the electrical circuits of the vapor-compression refrigeration system as well as the operation of individual system components. In addition to gaining exposure to different heat pump system configurations (including the increasingly popular geothermal system), dedicated troubleshooting chapters provide abundant opportunities to gain practice in applying the seven steps required for successful completion of every service call. Ample pedagogy plus real-life and simplified examples appear throughout the book, maximizing learning and minimizing the frustration often associated with the study of such a highly-technical, complex topic.

Since entering the HVAC industry in 1980, Eugene has taken on many roles ranging from field technician and system designer to company owner, teacher, administrator, consultant, college professor and author. With 30 years of teaching experience, Eugene is currently the National Programs Director at HVAC Excellence and has taught air conditioning and refrigeration at many high school vocational programs, proprietary post-secondary institutions and community colleges. Eugene retired from his tenured teaching position at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood, New York, to join the ESCO Group, and earned his dual Bachelor’s Degree from The City College of New York (New York, NY) and his Masters of Science degree from Stony Brook University (Stony Brook, NY), where he specialized in Energy and Environmental Systems, studying renewable and sustainable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and hydropower. He earned his Certified Master HVAC/R Educator (CMHE) credential from HVAC Excellence and the ESCO Group in 2010. Eugene also carries ASHRAE’s BEAP credential, which classifies him as a Building Energy Assessment Professional. He is also an active member of many industry societies and has served as the subject matter expert on a multitude of HVAC-related educational projects. His most notable work is Cengage Learning’s REFRIGERATION & AIR CONDITIONING TECHNOLOGY, which is now, with this printing, entering its 10th Edition (2025). This book is used in more than 1,000 schools, both in this country and abroad, to help individuals master the skills they need to install, service, troubleshoot and design HVACR equipment.
