Book Description
Progress in Refrigeration Science and Technology, Volume III is a compilation of papers presented during the 11th International Congress of Refrigeration, held at Munich, Germany in 1963. This volume is divided into three parts discussing various aspects of refrigeration science and technology. Part I deals with refrigerated transport by land and by air. This part is further divided into sections that cover refrigerated vehicles, testing of equipment for refrigerated vehicles, and the transport of foods. The second part is about refrigerated transport by water, with sections covering subjects on marine air-conditioning and fishing boats. Part III tackles education in the area of refrigeration. Research and education in refrigeration locker plants and education in refrigeration are elucidated under this section. Mechanical engineers and those concerned in the production, transport, and manufacturing of perishable goods will find great use of this book.

Book Description
There is a driving need for naval professionals to focus on human factors issues. The number of maritime accidents is increasing and the chief cause is human error, both by the designer and the operator. Decreasing crew size, lack of experienced operators, operations in higher sea states and fatigue worsen the situation. Automation can be a partial solution, but flawed automated systems actually contribute to accidents at sea. Up to now, there has been no overarching resource available to naval marine vehicle designers and human factors professionals which bridges the gap between the human and the machine in this context. Designers understand the marine vehicle; human factors professionals understand how a particular environment affects people. Yet neither has a practical understanding of the other's field, and thus communicating requirements and solutions is difficult. This book integrates knowledge from numerous sources as well as the advice of a panel of eight recognized experts in the fields of related research, development and operation. The result is a reference that bridges the communications gap, and stands to help enhance the design and operation of all naval marine vehicles.

Book Description
Fishing vessels can be equipped with energy efficient refrigeration technology applying natural working fluids. Ammonia refrigeration systems have been the first choice, but CO2 units have also become increasingly common in the maritime sector in the last few years. When retrofitting or implementing CO2 refrigeration plants, less space on board is required and such units allow good service and maintenance. Nowadays, cruise ship owners prefer CO2 units for the provision refrigeration plants.Ship owners, responsible for the health and safety of the crew and passengers, must carefully evaluate the usage of flammable low GWP working fluids, due to a high risk that toxic decomposition products are formed, even without the presence of an open flame. Suggestions for further work include a Nordic Technology Hub for global marine refrigeration R&D and development support for key components.

Book Description
Marine Auxiliary Machinery, Seventh Edition is a 16-chapter text that covers the significant advances in marine auxiliary machinery relevant to the certification of competency examinations. The introductory chapters deal with the basic components of marine machineries, such as propulsion system, heat exchanger, valves, and pipelines. The succeeding chapters describe the pumps and pumping system, specifically the tanker and gas carrier cargo pumps. Considerable chapters are devoted to the operation of machinery's major components, including the propeller shaft, steering gear, auxiliary power, bow thrusters, and stabilizers. Other chapters consider the refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The final chapters tackle the safety system of marine auxiliary machinery, particularly the fire protection, safety, instrumentation, and control systems. This book will prove useful to marine and mechanical engineers.

Book Description
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems are used in many applications to provide comfort and safety to people and equipment. HVAC systems are designed to maintain indoor air quality and temperature, provide ventilation, and control humidity. They are primarily used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, as well as in marine applications. Residential buildings are the most common application for HVAC systems. These systems are designed to provide a comfortable living environment for people and pets, as well as maintain a healthy indoor air quality. They do this by controlling the temperature, humidity, and air quality of a home. HVAC systems are also used to provide ventilation and air filtration, as well as to reduce the risk of fire and airborne contamination. Commercial and industrial buildings also use HVAC systems to ensure a comfortable working environment. These systems are designed to control the temperature and humidity of the space, as well as provide air circulation and filtration. They are also used to maintain a safe and healthy air quality in the building. In addition to buildings, HVAC systems are also used in marine applications. These systems are designed to maintain the temperature, humidity, and air quality of ships, submarines, and other marine vessels.
