Guide to good commercial refrigeration practice updated

Working in partnership, the BRA and IOR have revised part two of the Guide to Good Commercial Refrigeration Practice series.

This series was produced to ensure good practice guidelines are available to the refrigeration, heat pump and air conditioning professional community and reflect both organisations ongoing commitment to that purpose. 

This title is the second part of a nine-titled series that covers all the disciplines of commercial refrigeration. Part two: System Design and Component Selection focuses on the complex area of system design in conjunction with safety and environmental considerations.

It comprises chapters on: compressors, chilled and frozen cabinets, condensers, refrigerant pipework, design considerations, plant room design and more. In this edition the chapter on evaporators has been extensively revised and references have been updated throughout.

  • Part 1     Introduction
  • Part 2     System Design and Component Selection
