Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book is geared toward those interested in the engineering and physics of air conditioning and refrigeration devices (chillers). It develops analytic thermodynamic models for a wide variety of cooling systems and operating conditions. The authors focus primarily on mechanical (electrically-driven) chillers—mainly reciprocating and centrifugal machines—but also cover heat-driven absorption chillers, heat pumps, and heat transformers. The material is presented to appeal to both engineers and physicists, aiming to bridge the gap between these communities in their analysis and presentation of cooling systems. Each chapter captures the basic physics of the problem, providing quantitatively accurate predictive and diagnostic tools, with models that are simple yet stand up to experimental performance data.
