Page 5: Refrigeration Basics
REFRIGERATION BASICS Modern refrigeration has many applications. The first, and probably the most important, is the preservation of food because most foods kept at room temperature spoil rapidly. However, when kept cold most foods will keep much longer. Before looking at the operation of mechanical refrigeration, it is important to understand the physical and thermal properties of the mechanisms and substances used to extract heat. -
