The series of manuals is designed to give HVACR technicians and installers the tools they need to be successful in learning the key concepts required to pass the North American Technician Excellence (NATE) examinations.

The manual is 146 pages and includes topics on boilers, piping systems, controls, pumps, fossil fuel-fired hydronic systems among others. The manual, printed on recycled paper, features full-color graphics to clarify important details and concepts.

“The Hydronics title also includes review questions and an appendix with answers to ensure an individual understands the information presented,” said Kim Heselbarth, marketing manager, RSES. “Also, creation of an instructor CD to accompany the manual is underway and is expected to be released later in 2013.”

Also available in the Preparing for the NATE Exam series is: Core Essentials, Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps, Gas and Oil Heating, and Air Distribution. A title regarding commercial refrigeration currently is in development.
