This edition of Heatcraft Refrigeration Products LLC’s, Engineering
Manual covering Commercial Refrigeration Cooling and Freezing
Load Calculations has been prepared in the form of a condensed
text and reference book.
The theory and principle of modern refrigeration has been
omitted due to the many excellent publications currently available
on these subjects. The purpose of this reference book is to furnish
the engineering, selling and servicing organizations with accurate
and useful data to simplify load calculations.
No attempt has been made to specify a particular make of
equipment. We sincerely hope that our efforts will be a tangible
contribution to our rapidly growing industry.
