Refrigeration Systems and Applications

This book covers refrigeration systems and applications in depth, from fundamental thermodynamic principles to food cooling applications for a wide range of sectoral applications. Energy and exergy analyses, as well as performance evaluations using energy and exergy efficiencies and energetic and exergetic coefficients of performance, are investigated, and a variety of analysis techniques, models, correlations, and procedures are introduced with examples and case studies. Environmental impact assessment and sustainable development studies have their own sections. Discussions of significant recent developments in the field, including those resulting from the author's pioneering research, are also included.

Refrigeration is a multi-disciplinary field that includes mechanical, chemical, industrial, and food engineering, as well as chemistry. Because of its diverse applications, the industry plays an important role in both national and international economies. It is still an active research area, with much of the emphasis on making the technology as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible while maintaining cost efficiency and effectiveness.

Refrigeration Systems and Applications


The classic text/reference has been substantially updated and revised, with two new chapters devoted to renewable-energy-based integrated refrigeration systems and environmental impact/sustainability assessment. All examples and chapter-ending problems have been updated, as have conversion factors and a variety of materials' thermophysical properties.

teaches the fundamental principles and practical applications of refrigeration technologies.

Examines fundamental aspects of thermodynamics, refrigerants, energy and exergy analyses, and performance assessment criteria and approaches based on energy and exergy.

Introduces methods for assessing environmental impact and determining the sustainability of refrigeration systems and applications.

Basic and advanced (and thus integrated) refrigeration cycles and systems are covered, as well as a variety of novel applications.

Discusses critical industrial, technical, and operational issues, as well as new performance enhancement techniques and tools for improved design and analysis.

Clear explanations, numerous chapter-end problems, and worked-out examples are included.
