Overview


Popular for close to four decades, this book has been enriched with significant value-adds in its previous editions. Carrying on the legacy, the fourth edition discusses the recent developments and emergence of non-CFC refrigerants including R 600a (Isobutane). These refrigerants act as substitutes for CFCs that attributed to ozone layer depletion and global warming potential. The latest refrigerants used in the industry are also covered in the book. This book caters to the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning courses offered to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Mechanical Engineering. It will also serve as a useful reference to research students and practicing engineers.
