Refrigeration & Air conditioning (2nd Edition)

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Second Edition)
By W.F. Stoecker and J.W. Jones

An equipment-oriented textbook that applies theoretical results of engineering theories to real refrigeration and air conditioning engineering problems, enabling students to understand both common and uncommon problems in designing, selecting, and applying air conditioning and refrigeration components and systems. Designed for a single-semester introductory course, it gives readers a complete understanding of the fundamentals and helps them develop a working knowledge of the calculations involved, covering heat transfer, psychrometry, heating and cooling load calculations, air conditioning systems, and fan, duct, pump, and piping design among other relevant topics. While all the material can be understood and worked through without computers, alternate computer solutions are shown for system simulation, with SI units used consistently throughout. New to this second edition is a discussion of solar energy, along with coverage of the basic principles of acoustics and noise control as they relate to air conditioning systems, fans and ducts, pumps and piping, and air conditioning units. 

Topics commonly covered include applications of refrigeration and air conditioning, thermal principles, psychrometry and wetted-surface heat transfer, load calculations, air conditioning systems, fan and duct systems, pumps and piping, cooling and dehumidifying coils, air conditioning control, the vapor-compression cycle, compressors, condensers and evaporators, expansion devices, vapor-compression system analysis, refrigerants, multipressure systems, absorption refrigeration, heat pumps, cooling towers and evaporative condensers, solar energy, and acoustics and noise control. 

Key features:

• Equipment-oriented approach connecting theory directly to real design and selection problems
• New coverage of solar energy and acoustics/noise control added in this edition
• SI units used consistently, with alternate computer-based solutions shown for system simulation
• Comprehensive scope spanning both refrigeration cycle theory and applied air-conditioning system design
• Long-standing standard text from McGraw-Hill for introductory refrigeration and air conditioning coursework

Perfect for:

• Undergraduate mechanical, automotive, and aerospace engineering students
• Students taking a single-semester refrigeration and air conditioning course
• Students needing hands-on calculation skills for load estimation and system design
• Practicing engineers working on HVAC equipment selection and system design
