Industrial refrigeration handbook

Industrial refrigeration is the branch of air conditioning and refrigeration devoted to low temperature applications particularly for the refrigeration and freezing of food. It concentrates on the temperature range between 5 to -40C (41 to 40F) and thus usually falls below the usual range for comfortable air conditioning. While some professionals work effectively in both comfort air conditioning and industrial refrigeration, most engineers and technicians specialize in either one field or the other. This handbook provides information and data on both the fundamentals of industrial refrigeration and the practical real-world design, installation, and operating procedures.
