Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) B.Tech Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Notes PDFs for Mechanical Engineering (ME)
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Definition
Refrigeration is the removal of heat from a space in order to lower its temperature, whereas air conditioning is the regulation of temperature, humidity, and air quality in enclosed spaces for comfort or industrial purposes.
Comfort and Industry Role
Refrigeration and air conditioning systems help to create comfortable indoor environments, keep perishable goods fresh, and support a variety of industrial processes.
Importance of Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
Creating Relaxing Environments
By regulating temperature, humidity, and air quality, air conditioning systems create comfortable indoor environments.
Perishable Goods Preservation
Refrigeration systems are critical in preserving perishable goods like food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals and extending their shelf life.
Improving Industrial Procedures
Cooling systems are required in many industrial processes, such as manufacturing, chemical reactions, and data centre operations.
Considering Energy Efficiency and the Environmental Impact
Efficient and long-lasting cooling technologies help to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.
