_(BK-752) REFRIGERATION AND AIR CONDITIONING. Bureau of Naval Personnel. NAVPERS 16163-A. 1969. 103p. This text presents information on two processes vital to the efficient operation of ships-refrigeration and air conditioning. Refrigeration equipment may be used aboard ships for a number of purposes, including the refrigeration of ship's stores, the refrigeration for cargo, the cooling of water, should be noted. Refrigeration is a cooling process; air conditioning is a process of treating air to simultaneously control its temperature, humidity, purity, and distribution to meet the requirements of the conditioned spaces. The information in this text deals primarily with the theory of refrigeration and air conditioning and with the principles of operation of the equipment. The information applies regardless of type or class of ship, unless otherwise stated.

A comprehensive, applications-oriented treatment of the mechanical refrigeration cycle and associated equipment. Although written for college-level courses in refrigeration, the arrangement and coverage of the material and the presentation of the material are suitable for use in occupational programs, on-the-job training, and self-instruction. Contents: Pressure, Work, Power, Energy; Matter, Internal Energy, Heat, Temperature; Ideal Gas Processes; Saturated and Superheated Vapors; Psychometric Properties of Air; Refrigeration and the Vapor Compression System; Cycle Diagrams and the Simple Saturated Cycle; Actual Refrigerating Cycles; Survey of Refrigeration Applications; Cooling Load Calculations; Evaporators; Performance of Reciprocating Compressors; System Equilibrium and Cycling Controls; Condensers and Cooling Towers; Fluid Flow, Centrifugal Liquid Pumps, Water and Brine Piping; Refrigerants; Refrigerant Flow Controls; Compressor Construction and Lubrication; Refrigerant Piping and Accessories; Defrost Methods, Low-Temperature, Multiple Temperature and Absorption Refrigeration Systems; Electric Motors and Control Circuits.
(BK-972) REFRIGERATION ON FISHING VESSELS. Merritt, J. H. 2nd ed. 172p. Illus. ISBN 0-85238-095-X. The principles and practices of sound refrigeration procedures are described in language as non-technical as possible to help fishermen to gain better financial returns. The book covers: spoilage and refrigeration; icing; the fish room; fish room insulation; mechanical refrigeration; refrigeration with ice; refrigerated sea water; the refrigeration plant; freezers; cold stores; and freezing at sea. This book is specifically intended to help in the design and operation of refrigeration systems on fishing vessels. The author has wide experience of the subject both in the UK and North America.
(BK-0516) REFRIGERATION FOR PLEASURE BOATS, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR. Calder, N. 150p. 220 illus. ISBN 0-87742-286-9. This is a comprehensive refrigeration resource for power and sailboats. It covers everything a boatowner needs to know for refrigeration self-sufficiency. An introduction to refrigeration cycles and variables is followed by a chapter on building, modifying, and insulating the icebox. All system types are introduced and examined including engine-driven, 12-volt, AC-powered, etc. Later chapters describe the care, troubleshooting, and overhaul of each component, including the compressor, the condenser, the receiver/filter/dryer, and expansion valve.
(BK-894-4) REFRIGERATING MACHINERY AND AIR CONDITIONING PLANT. Stott, J. R. 97p. ISBN 0-900976-11-X. All the main components of refrigerating systems together with their operation and maintenance are dealt with in a knowledgeable manner. Preparations for loading cargoes and their proper stowage and cargo carrying procedures are outlined with a chapter on instrumentation describing temperature recording instruments and their use. Air conditioning occupies the other section of the book. This subject is covered from basic principles through installation and operation of the plant.
_(BK-781) HANDBOOK OF AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DESIGN. Carrier Air Conditioning Company. 1965. 832p. ISBN 07-010090-X. A quick reference for those actively engaged in designing air conditioning systems, a teaching work for those studying air conditioning system design, and a refresher for those engineers with wide experience in the field. The book is usable at all educational levels. It provides practical data for professional designers who need optimum solutions on a day-to-day basis and bridges the gap between air conditioning texts and manufacturers' product catalogs. The book provides proven system design techniques and assures quality of application with minimum service requirements by providing guidance in simplified form. It is a reference source that uses good techniques of indexing and format.
