A Textbook of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

A Textbook of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
By R.S. Khurmi and J.K. Gupta

A long-standing standard reference on refrigeration and air conditioning, covering the subject from foundational thermodynamic principles through to full system design and practical application. It pairs theory with real practical applications of refrigeration and air conditioning throughout, and the revised edition adds colour pictures alongside refrigeration tables and charts, helping bridge the gap between classroom theory and field practice. As public attention increasingly turns to food processing, cold storage, and climate control, this text remains a core reference for engineers working across these growing application areas.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Air refrigeration cycles and systems
• Simple and compound vapour compression refrigeration systems
• Multiple evaporator and compressor systems
• Vapour absorption refrigeration systems
• Refrigerants, compressors, condensers, and evaporators
• Expansion devices
• Steam jet refrigeration systems
• Psychrometry and comfort conditions
• Air conditioning system design and cooling load estimation

Key features:

• Colour pictures and refrigeration tables/charts integrated into the revised edition
• Strong bridge between theoretical principles and practical, field-level application
• Comprehensive scope spanning both refrigeration and air conditioning in one volume
• Written by authors also known for companion texts on thermal engineering and machine design
• Long-established as a standard reference across B.E., AMIE, and diploma-level coursework

Perfect for:

• Mechanical engineering undergraduates studying refrigeration and air conditioning
• Students preparing for UPSC Engineering/Civil Services and AMIE examinations
• Diploma-level students in HVAC or mechanical engineering programs
• Practicing engineers working in cooling, cold storage, or climate-control systems
