This book provides a detailed, applications-oriented treatment of the mechanical refrigeration cycle, associated equipment, component design, and system operation. It teaches users how processes can be broken down into fundamental principles so that they can develop analytical skills, correctly analyze and troubleshoot systems, and embark upon successful careers as technicians, technologists, and engineers. A four-part organization covers mechanical refrigeration and food preservation, the thermodynamic processes of refrigeration systems, ideal and real refrigeration processes, and refrigeration system components. For individuals studying for a career in the refrigeration field.

I have never found a good (current) textbook. When I learnt fridge theory we used a book called Roy Dossats principles of refrigeration, its very very good but it was written in a foreign language (American) with all sorts of weird units, inches, feet, foot pounds, calories etc. so it is unusable unless you live in America or Botswana, the only two countries on Earth who use this system . If you are very rich, like me you can buy the second edition which is in SI units but its nigh on impossible to find.

The first few chapters of Dossats are amazing, it explains all you need to know about thermo-fluids, psychometrics and the basics of refrigeration but the language is old fashioned and quite high brow. It does not simplify anything and so its a hard slog. The other problem is it was written before electronics came along so the actual technology parts are way out of date.

The book I use and have always used is the fantastically titled, Si14C by Daikin. It is quite simply the best book on the subject I've ever seen. Along time ago I had a hard copy, now I only have it on Pdf and the best bit......... its not on google. I've checked and I cant find it anywhere. But here's a taster. In the first 27 pages it tells you Everything you need to know about how a refrigerator ( or a heat pump) actually works.

Principles Of Refrigeration pdf book by Roy J. Dossat. This book has been written especially for use in programs where a full curriculum in refrigeration is offered. However, the material covered and the method of presentation are such that the text is also suitable for adult evening classes and for on-the-job training and self-instruction. Furthermore, the material is so arranged and sectionalized that this textbook is readily adaptable to any level of study and to any desired method or sequence of presentation. Despite a rigorous treatment of the thermodynamics of the cycle, application of the calculus is not required nor is an extensive background in physics and thermodynamics presupposed. The first four chapters deal with the fundamental principles of physics and thermodynamics upon which the refrigeration cycle is based. For those who are already familiar with these fundamentals, the chapters will serve as a review or reference material.

At the end of the course, the student should be able to differentiate between different types of refrigeration systems with respect to application as well as conventional and unconventional refrigeration systems. Thermodynamically analyse refrigeration and air conditioning systems and evaluate performance parameters. Apply the principles of Psychometrics to design the air conditioning loads for the industrial applications.
