Preface

The 2006 ASHRAE Handbook-Refrigeration covers the refrigeration equipment and systems for applications other than human comfort. This book includes information on cooling, freezing, and storing food; industrial applications of refrigeration; and lowtemperature refrigeration. Primarily a reference for the practicing engineer, this volume is also useful for anyone involved in cooling and storage of food products.

This edition includes a new chapter (8), Refrigerant Containment, Recovery, Recycling, and Reclamation, reflecting this topic's importance. An accompanying CD-ROM contains all the volume's chapters (in both I-P and SI units) in searchable electronic format.
