Introduction to Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems Введение в системы охлаждения и кондиционирования воздуха

Издание на английском языке
This book is an updated guide to refrigeration systems technology. It covers in detail the various types of refrigeration systems, including vapor compression, evaporative, absorption, and gas cooling, as well as the selection of refrigerants, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and calculations for cooled buildings. Particular attention is paid to the current trend toward environmentally friendly refrigerants with low or zero global warming potential. The book is intended for students and engineering professionals who want to understand the principles of modeling and analyzing refrigeration systems through practical examples and theoretical foundations. It presents methods for evaluating the performance of system components and constructing idealized thermodynamic cycles for real-world operating conditions.
