Refrigeration And Airconditioning

Author and the Compiler are indeed very grateful to the reader-student & teacher and also the people in the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry for such a warm welcome to Twelveth Edition of their text book on Refrigeration and Air Conditioning.

The whole of Textbook has been re-cast and updated and extensively revised. A new chapter 18, on Cascade refrigeration and low temperature application including liquifaction of gases has been added. In view of the fact that Evaporative Air Conditioning is staging a come-back, a full chapter on Evaporative air conditioning is introduced.
