Cold And Chilled Storage Technology

The first edition of this book firmly established itself as one of the bibles for the industry and this thoroughly revised new edition continues to provide a comprehensive survey of the design, construction and operation of cold stores and their relevance to the distribution chain. Revisions include coverage of CFC issues, the wider use of ammonia, low charge systems, compact heat exchanges and secondary refrigerants, and more detail on the technologies and practicalities of specific aspects of cold storage depots -- from the handling of road vehicles to the design of facilities. This book is for food technologists and plant engineers/designers involved in the technology of cold storage.
