Synopsis

Explore practical refrigeration science with a veteran reference on modern cooling systems.

This volume examines the key refrigerants, including carbon dioxide, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide, and explains how their properties affect compressor size, efficiency, and operating costs. Learn how choices in pressure, latent heat, and condenser temperatures shape real-world design and performance.

This edition presents clear comparisons, essential tables, and practical guidance drawn from a long tradition of engineering practice. It translates complex thermodynamics into actionable insights for engineers designing, operating, or evaluating refrigeration plants.

• How each refrigerant behaves under different pressures and temperatures
• How to estimate compressor size, losses, and cooling needs
• Practical considerations for condensers, water cooling, and system efficiency
• Real-world comparisons of carbon dioxide, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide systems

Ideal for mechanical engineers, refrigeration technicians, and students seeking a solid, application-focused reference on cooling plants and their components.
