The present work, "Refrigeration Installations", was designed as a complete, structured and clear guide for students attending the faculties of Civil Engineering, engineers, specialists in the field or anyone who wants to get started or consolidate their knowledge in refrigeration technology. Each chapter deals with an essential theme, from the thermodynamic foundations of refrigeration production to modern applications and innovative solutions used today.
The book emphasizes not only the theoretical aspects, but also the practical applicability of the knowledge presented, with numerous examples, clear explanations and recommendations for design, maintenance and optimization. Particular attention is paid to the basic components of refrigeration systems – refrigerants, compressors, evaporators, condensers – but also to current topics, such as automation, environmental impact and future trends.
