Title: Handbook of air conditioning and refrigeration
Description: The purpose of this book is to provide a useful, practical, and updated technical reference for the
design, selection, and operation of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It is intended to summarize
the valuable experience, calculations, and design guidelines from current technical papers,
engineering manuals, standards, ASHRAE handbooks, and other publications in air conditioning
and refrigeration.
It is also intended to emphasize a systemwide approach, especially system operating characteristics
at design load and part load. It provides a technical background for the proper selection and operation
of optimum systems, subsystems, and equipment. This handbook is a logical combination of
practice and theory, system and control, and experience and updated new technologies.
