REFRIGERATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

This book Refrigeration and Air Conditioning—a
comprehensive exploration of the principles, mechanisms,
and applications that drive the cooling systems essential to our
daily lives. This book aims to provide a thorough
understanding of the diverse methods employed to control
temperature, from natural cooling mechanisms to
sophisticated refrigeration technologies.
In the introductory chapters, we delve into the
fundamentals of natural cooling, exploring techniques such as
nocturnal cooling for ice making, evaporative cooling, and
salt solution cooling. Mechanical methods take center stage as
we examine refrigeration via mechanical vapor compression,
home refrigeration systems, and air conditioning systems. The
classification and units of refrigeration, heat pumps, and the
concept of coefficient of performance lay the groundwork for
a deeper exploration.
