Commercial Refrigeration: Thermophysical Properties and Transfer
Processes |
|
|
This guidebook discusses proceedings at the two IIR
conferences organized in Italy. Useful insights have been
provided into the state-of-the-art in the fields of
refrigerants and refrigerating equipment. Some of the topics
covered are display cabinets, absorption and adsorption,
carbon dioxide, heat and mass transfer in microchannels, ice
slurries and secondary refrigerants, condensation and gas
cooling, and heat exchangers. |

Safety First: Technical Guide
for the Safe Handling of Hydrocarbon Propellants |
|
Though most large enterprises manufacturing aerosol products
have stopped using CFCs in their facilities, the need for
small and medium-scale aerosol companies to understand safety
considerations pertaining to conversion of their plants to
alternative propellants exists. This manual offers plant
managers and National Ozone Units with critical information on
the safe conversion of aerosol plants to non-CFC propellants,
specifically hydrocarbons. Exhaustive data on safety, formula
adaptations and effective destenching methods for aerosol
production using hydrocarbon aerosol propellants have been
discussed.

Safeguarding the Ozone Layer and the Global
Climate System |
|
This IPCC/TEAP report was developed in response to invitations
from Parties to the UNFCCC and the Protocol. It provides
information relevant to decision-making in regard to
safeguarding the ozone layer and the global climate system –
two global environmental issues involving complex scientific
and technical considerations. Important features of the report
include:
- Potential methodologies for assessing options;
- Technical issues relating to greenhouse gas emission
reduction opportunities for each of the sectors involved,
including refrigeration, aerosols, air-conditioning, foams,
fire protection and solvents;
- Scientific context required for consideration of choices
among alternatives to ODS; and
- Future availability of HFCs.
Chapters 1 and 2 address linkages between ozone depletion
and climate change, and draw from previous international
scientific assessments, particularly the periodic assessments
conducted under the auspices of WMO, UNEP and IPCC. Chapter 3
summarizes available methodologies to characterize or compare
technologies. Chapters 4 through 10 provide technical
descriptions and information for each of the key sectors of
halocarbon use – refrigeration, foams, residential and
commercial air-conditioning and heating, mobile
air-conditioning, medical aerosols, fire protection and
non-medical aerosols, solvents and HFC-23 by-product emissions
from HCFC-22 production.
Chapter 11 covers both supply and demand issues for HFCs
and integrates emissions estimates across sectors and regions.
Additionally, the report includes a summary of policy makers (SPM)
and a technical summary (TS). Each section of SPM and TS has
been referenced to the appropriate section of the relevant
chapter, facilitating easy follow-up in further detail in the
chapters.
