The use of refrigeration, either directly or as part of an
air-conditioning system, is essential to almost every branch of
industry.
There is a need for practitioners to familiarise themselves with
the general principles and methods of refrigeration and air
conditioning, and the types of plant and operation currently in
use.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles
and practice of refrigeration and air-conditioning for the
uninitiated student and a general overview of the industry for the
practitioner. The fundamentals of the subject are introduced
without involving the reader too deeply in theory and the content
is presented in a logical order.
This fully revised and updated third edition has a new chapter on
Refrigerants that deals with the many changes in this area over the
last 10 years, including the phase out of CFC and HCFC refrigerants
in line with Ozone depletion and Global Warming. New, replacement
refrigerants are described, together with Codes of Practice
introduced for maintenance and servicing of refrigeration plants.
The increased use of Ammonia and Propane are included, with the
relevant Health and Safety aspects, and the move towards Absorption
refrigeration equipment as more environmentally friendly.
This new edition of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning is a
valuable reference source for practising engineers and essential
reading for students.
