A Low-Tech, Low-Stress Introduction to the Mechanical Refrigeration Vapor Compression Cycle.
Fundamental Refrigeration covers all the basic principles and theories of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Written in easy-to-understand language, this book contains a wealth of necessary fundamental knowledge. A low-tech, low stress introduction to the mechanical vapor compression cycle. Covering a broad range of information about refrigeration and air conditioning systems, this book is not only for those entering the field, but also for seasoned professionals who want a solid review of the basic principles.
From the Preface
This text has been designed for individuals that are experiencing their first introduction to refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
The book covers a broad range of information relating to refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Although I use R-22 throughout the book for illustrative purposes, the principles and theory of refrigeration remain the same with all high-pressure refrigerants. This book is based on several years of experience as an instructor and trainer for schools and industry.
During that experience several questions for clarification and description have been repeatedly addressed, and some not asked. I have attempted to describe, in some detail, the questions that were not asked.
I have kept the theory and mathematics, to what I believe to be the absolute minimum without suffering any loss of pertinent information.
The theory and concepts presented are in agreement with accepted industry standard information, but also contain opinions and observations that belong solely to me.
The illustrations and tables, except where noted, are all original sketches done by me. Any similarities to specific products are purely coincidental and unintentional.
This book should provide the reader with a good overall understanding of the concepts and provide for a foundation of knowledge. That knowledge should be augmented with further study in specific detail to continue in the refrigeration and air-conditioning industries.
