There is a need for practitioners to familiarise themselves with the general principles and methods of refrigeration and air conditioning, and the types of plant and operation currently in use. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of refrigeration and air-conditioning for the uninitiated student and a general overview of the industry for the practitioner. The fundamentals of the subject are introduced without involving the reader too deeply in theory and the content is presented in a logical order. This fully revised and updated third edition has a new chapter on Refrigerants that deals with the many changes in this area over the last 10 years, including the phase out of CFC and HCFC refrigerants in line with Ozone depletion and Global Warming. New, replacement refrigerants are described, together with Codes of Practice introduced for maintenance and servicing of refrigeration plants. The increased use of Ammonia and Propane are included, with the relevant Health and Safety aspects, and the move towards Absorption refrigeration equipment as more environmentally friendly. This new edition of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning is a valuable reference source for practising engineers and essential reading for students 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aRefrigeration and refrigerating machinery 650 0$aAir conditioning 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aWelch, T.$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01202507 776 1 $cOriginal$z075064219X$z9780750642194$w(DLC) 99051580$w(OCoLC)42643323 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750642194$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 41$zTable of contents$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els033/99051580.html 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els033/99051580.html 907 $a.b13651109$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003223059707536 996 $aRefrigeration and air-conditioning$93370147 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$genk$h0$i0
