The author notes that within industries from food to comfort, the control of temperatures has had a profound impact on our safety, well-being, and progress. Covering a range of refrigeration systems including ammonia, carbonic acid, compressed air, and ether, among others, this thorough work examines the technical and practical implications of these systems as well as broader social and industrial impacts. Noting that refrigeration made possible the expansion of global food markets by allowing perishable goods to be transported over long distances, the author also discusses the important role refrigeration plays in public health and safety. Including essential science, calculations, formulas, and diagrams, this book is an invaluable resource for both experts and lay readers who want to know more about the fascinating history of refrigeration.
