Principles of Refrigeration, 4e

Principles of refrigeration by roy j dossat teaches the students the ins and outs of refrigeration systems and applications. The detailed analysis of all the systems present in this book eliminates the need for prior knowledge of thermodynamics, physics and calculus. The initial chapters discuss the basics with greater depth so as to make the students comfortable with the following concepts of refrigeration systems, its applications, principles and the design. With more emphasis on the application side of refrigeration, this book provides hands - on information that is essential to the working of the refrigeration systems. The mechanical refrigeration cycle, with its associated equipment, component design and system operation, is comprehensively discussed within the pages of principles of refrigeration. Each and every step has been clearly defined so that the students are familiar with the process of refrigeration from start to finish. They are taught the many errors that can occur during the entire process and how they must be dealt with for the most efficient results. After going through this book, you can be able to develop analytical skills, which would help you to troubleshoot the system when necessary. Other features of this book are the sections on the basics of thermodynamics, heat transfer, mechanics and applied physics. Fundamental principles showing how the changes in system variables get transferred to the entire system and other such concepts have been talked about in this book. From the insight into the processes of refrigeration systems given by this book, students can understand and handle the malfunctions, inefficiencies and service requirements of the system. It covers the refrigeration theory, components and system analysis and design. Principles of refrigeration by roy j dossat was published by pearson and is available in paperback.
