Unlock the history and practical craft of artificial ice‑making and refrigeration.

This concise reference presents the principles, general considerations, and real‑world practice that define the field. With clear explanations and illustrated examples, it helps readers understand how machines, systems, and insulation work together to store and chill.

This edition gathers foundational ideas and tested methods, including generation systems, direct and indirect cooling, brine and ammonia approaches, and the role of insulation in cold storage, ice houses, and refrigerated rooms. It also compiles useful information and tables to support engineers, students, and practitioners who design, operate, or evaluate refrigerating plants.
You’ll experience and learn:

Major refrigeration methods, from absorption and compression to indirect cooling and brine systems.
Practical details on components such as condensers, receivers, coils, and valves.
Applications across packing houses, cold storage, breweries, chill rooms, and ships.
Historically grounded perspectives on system design, operation, and efficiency.

Ideal for readers seeking a solid grounding in the art and practice of refrigeration, from the perspective of early 20th‑century engineering and its enduring principles.
