Summary Of The Book

The subject of refrigeration and airconditioning is one of great significance as public focus shifts to food processing and preservation technologies. This highlights the need for professionals well-versed in the basics of this technology.

A Textbook Of Refrigeration And Air Conditioning elaborates on the basics of this subject by including discussions on topics like multiple evaporator and compressor systems, simple and compound vapour compression refrigeration systems, air refrigeration cycles and systems, psychrometry, vapour absorption refrigeration and compressor systems, comfort conditions, psychrometry, refrigerants and compressors, cooling load estimation, steam jet refrigeration system, evaporators, condensers, expansion devices, and food preservation including cryogenics, fans, and ducts.

A Textbook Of Refrigeration And Air Conditioning also features practical applications of refrigeration and air conditioning, thereby helping to buttress the theoretical knowledge already gleaned.

The revised edition features colour pictures and refrigeration tables with charts, which help enhance the value of the content and assist students to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
