Excerpt from Theoretical and Practical Ammonia Refrigeration: A Work of Reference for Engineers, and Others Employed in the Management of Ice and Refrigeration Machinery
There are many engineers and others interested in refrigerating machinery who have felt the want of a book of reference that will enable them to determine, with sufficient accuracy for all practical pur poses, what work their machines are doing without resorting to laborious calculations; therefore a number of tables have been pre pared to meet this want, and a short treatise on the Theory and Practice of Refrigeration incorporated therewith.
The tables, which have been calculated as accurately as possible, and have been checked by a gentleman of considerable expert experience, cover a sufficiently wide range of temperatures and pressures to meet all ordinary, and a good many extraordinary, requirements.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of ammonia refrigeration, offering a comprehensive guide for engineers and anyone interested in understanding the workings of these essential machines. Written at a time when ammonia-based systems were becoming increasingly prevalent, the author recognized the need for a practical resource that went beyond laborious calculations. This book fills that gap, providing clear explanations of the underlying scientific principles and offering practical insights into the construction, operation, and maintenance of ammonia refrigeration plants. Through detailed descriptions and illustrations, the author demystifies the various components of the system, from the compressor and condenser to the expansion valves and refrigerator. The book also addresses key considerations such as proper lubrication, clearance space, and the crucial role of condensing water in optimizing efficiency. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book empowers readers to not only run ammonia refrigeration machines effectively but also to troubleshoot issues and make informed decisions based on a deeper understanding of the underlying processes. Ultimately, it offers a valuable window into a technology that continues to play a vital role in various industries today.
