Principles of Refrigeration

This text is a detailed, applications-oriented treatment of the mechanical refrigeration cycle and associated equipment. Completely self-contained, the first five chapters cover the fundamental principles of physics and thermodynamics, including psychometrics. The text emphasizes the cyclic nature of refrigeration systems and offers a thorough examination of each part in relation to other parts and to the whole system. The book contains examples and practice problems that draw theory and practice together.
