Defining an installation
Industrial refrigerating machines - Introduction

The complete definition of a refrigeration plant can only be envisaged in one way, once the following key points have been established, whose logical sequence makes it possible to define its physical make-up (figure 2).

• Type of application and choice of evaporating temperature${\theta }_F$: depending on whether the application involves cooling air, a liquid or a solid, generally referred to as cold sources, the temperature level to be achieved T_F determines the evaporating temperature level θ_F from the moment the minimum deviation is chosen: pinch T_F– θ_F from...
