Refrigeration engineering / H. J. Macintire.

Introduction. Development of refrigeration engineering and simple processes for the production of refrigeration - Thermodynamics and theoretical cycles of compression refrigerating machines - Refrigerants and properties of saturated and superheated vapors - Flow of fluids and heat transfer through metal surfaces. Convection, conduction and radiation - Heat leakage into buildings, infiltration and insulaton - Condensers, evaporators and coolers. Brine systems and the water supply - Piping and fittings - Adsorption and absorption machines. Diffusion machines - Compression refrigerating machines - Automatic refrigerating machines. Household machines - Erection, operation and testing - Air conditioning, comfort cooling and sound control - Cold storage. The packing house. District cooling, precooling and transportation - Ice manufacture. Dry ice - Special applications of refrigeration engineering.
