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.
Now in its fourth edition, this respected text delivers a
comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of
refrigeration. Clear and straightforward, it is designed for
students (NVQ/vocational level) and professional HVAC engineers,
including those on short or CPD courses. Inexperienced readers are
provided with a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of
the technology. With its concise style yet broad sweep the book
covers most of the applications professionals will encounter,
enabling them to understand, specify, commission, use and maintain
these systems. Many readers will appreciate the clarity with which
the book covers the subject without swamping them with detailed
technical or product specific information.
New material in this edition includes the latest developments in
refrigerants and lubricants, together with updated information on
compressors, heat exchangers, liquid chillers, electronic expansion
valves, controls and cold storage. Topics also covered include
efficiency, environmental impact, split systems, retail
refrigeration (supermarket systems and cold rooms), industrial
systems, fans, air infiltration and noise.
