Saving Energy in Refrigeration, Air-Conditioning and Heat-Pump Technology

50% off! Special World Refrigeration Day sale. 

This guide presents, in a concise and didactic manner, all solutions making it possible to reduce the energy consumption of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, including heat pumps. This is a vital issue as these systems consume approximately 15% of worldwide electricity. These solutions apply to the design, operation and maintenance of various systems (compressors, condensers, expansion devices, evaporators, etc.) and take refrigerant selection into account. Several practical cases of highly energy-efficient systems are presented, as well as an extensive bibliography and an overview of the main applicable regulations and standards. It is hoped that you will be able to improve the efficiency of your refrigeration system, reduce running costs and increase profits by using the practical suggestions contained in this guide. Main topics: - Theory of refrigeration - Reducing heat loads - Choice of refrigerant - Design opportunities - Energy-efficient operation - Heat recovery opportunities - Energy storage and natural cooling - Standards and regulations - Case studies - References - Bibliography.
