Chapter 1 APPLICATIONS OF REFRIGERATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
Relationship of the refrigeration and air - conditioning fields
Refrigeration embraces industrial refrigeration including • Food storage and distribution • Food Processing • Chemical and process industries • Special applications
Food storage and distribution - Airplane
Food storage and distribution
Food storage and distribution • Freezing rapidly reduce temperature to product’s freezing zone • Storage -20°C to -23°C to maintain high quality for many months, even lower for a high quality fish • Distribution – food market 3 -5°C for dairy products and unfrozen fruits and vegetables -20°C for frozen foods and ice cream
Food Processing – Beverage fruit juice, beer, wine
Food Processing - Freeze and drying process
Chemical and processing industrial • Separation of gases • Condensation of gases • Solidification of one substance in a mixture • Maintain of a low temperature of stored liquid • Removal heat of reaction
Special applications • • • Drinking fountains Dehumidifiers Ice makers Ice-skating rinks Construction Desalting of seawater
