Handbook of air conditioning and refrigeration

the long version

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.
