Product Description
Drawing from the best of the widely dispersed literature in the field and the authorÕs vast professional knowledge and experience, here is todayÕs most exhaustive, one-stop coverage of the fundamentals, design, installation, and operation of industrial refrigeration systems. Detailing the industry changes caused by the conversion from CFCs to non-ozone-depleting refrigerants and by the development of microprocessors and new secondary coolants, Industrial Refrigeration Handbook also examines multistage systems; compressors, evaporators, and condensers; piping, vessels, valves and refrigerant controls; liquid recirculation; refrigeration load calculations; refrigeration and freezing of food; and safety procedures. Offering a rare compilation of thermodynamic data on the most-used industrial refrigerants, the Handbook is a mother lode of vital information and guidance for every practitioner in the field.
Book Description
Industrial refrigeration is the branch of air conditioning and refrigeration devoted to low temperature applications particularly for the refrigeration and freezing of food. It concentrates on the temperature range between 5 to -40C (41 to 40F) and thus usually falls below the usual range for comfortable air conditioning. While some professionals work effectively in both comfort air conditioning and industrial refrigeration, most engineers and technicians specialize in either one field or the other. This handbook provides information and data on both the fundamentals of industrial refrigeration and the practical real-world design, installation, and operating procedures.
