Features: This book is written based on the characteristics of higher vocational education in refrigeration and cold storage technology, drawing on the authors' extensive teaching and practical experience. The book is divided into 3 parts and 12 chapters. Part 1 covers refrigeration principles, including single-stage vapor compression refrigeration cycles, refrigerants and heat transfer fluids, two-stage vapor compression and cascade refrigeration cycles, and other refrigeration methods. Part 2 focuses on refrigeration compressors, covering reciprocating refrigeration compressors, screw-type refrigeration compressors, and other types of refrigeration compressors. Part 3 discusses refrigeration equipment, including evaporators and condensers, throttling devices, auxiliary equipment for refrigeration systems, refrigerant and cooling water systems, and conveying equipment, among others. This book breaks the traditional teaching system in content design, integrating the three courses of refrigeration principles, refrigeration compressors, and refrigeration equipment into one. This approach meets the needs of 2-year vocational education reform and helps students develop a comprehensive understanding of refrigeration systems rather than focusing solely on refrigeration principles, compressors, or equipment, thereby enhancing their engineering skills.
This book can serve as a textbook for refrigeration and cold storage programs in higher vocational colleges, as well as a training manual for relevant industry positions or self-study materials.
