Essential guide to refrigeration engineering for real‑world use

This practical reference covers general engineering principles and thermodynamics as they apply to ice manufacturing, cold storage, and related industries. It translates complex concepts into tools you can apply on the job, from plant design to daily operation.

This edition focuses on the practical questions engineers face in the field. You’ll find guidance on selecting and operating equipment, understanding how ammonia behaves in different states, and balancing the needs of each stage in the refrigerating cycle. The material is presented to support both seasoned professionals and students studying refrigeration technology.

How refrigerants like ammonia behave in saturated, wet, and superheated states and how that affects condensers and pipes
Practical comparisons of absorption and compression systems, with guidance on when each approach makes sense
Key components and processes, including compressors, condensers, absorbers, receivers, valves, and heat exchange
Methods for evaluating efficiency, pressure, temperature, and heat transfer in real‑world plants

Ideal for readers working in ice production, cold storage operations, refrigeration installation and maintenance, as well as students pursuing refrigeration engineering.
