Thermodynamics and Design Principles of Refrigeration Systems

  • Chapter
Low Temperature and Cryogenic Refrigeration

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 99))

Abstract

Current paper briefly covers a historical background [28, 32, 33] and presents a general review of basic refrigeration equipment and systems with respect to the application of thermodynamic analysis to mechanical compression and non-mechanical refrigeration cycles, the two most common methods of thermal energy transfer.
