International Dictionary Of Refrigeration

The Dictionary is divided into two sections. The main sequence of the book consists of some 4,000 terms given in English, in alphabetical order, with their translations. The remainder of the book consists of alphabetical indexes for the other eleven languages covered: French, German, Italian, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian, Polish and Russian. Each alphabetical index is keyed to serial numbers which refer the user to the correct item in the main sequence.

The English-French volume of the International Dictionary of Refrigeration contains approximately 4400 terms with their definitions in the 2 official languages of the International Institute of Refrigeration, English and French. Approximately 200 experts, who are members of the IIR network and are from about 30 countries on all the continents, took part in the development of the Dictionary. The terms are allocated to 11 chapters: Fundamentals - Refrigeration and Production - Refrigerating Equipment - Cooling Methods - Storage, Transport, Distribution - Refrigeration of Perishable Products - Air Conditioning - Heat Pumps - Cryology - Other Applications of Refrigeration - Refrigeration and the Environment. The terms are classified in alphabetical order within 110 sections. An alphabetical index in English and another one in French make it easy to perform searches for terms and their synonyms. 9 volumes will be published containing the terms alone in 9 languages, with the corrresponding English and French equivalents: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian and Spanish.(Now published) Le volume anglais-francais du Dictionnaire International du Froid comporte environ 4400 termes avec leurs definitions dans les deux langues officielles de l'Institut International du Froid (IIF). Pres de 200 experts, membres du reseau de l'IIF, appartenant a une trentaine de pays de tous les continents, ont participe a l'elaboration du Dictionnaire. Les termes sont regroupes dans 11 chapitres: Principes de base - Production de froid - Installations frigorifiques - Methodes de refroidissement - Entreposage, transport, distribution - Application du froid aux produits perissables - Conditionnement d'air - Pompes a chaleur - Cryologie - Autres applications du froid - Froid et environnement. Les termes sont classes par ordre alphabetique en anglais dans 110 sous-chapitres. Deux index alphabetiques, en anglais et en francais, permettent de trouver rapidement les termes cherches et leurs synonymes. Neuf fascicules vont etre publies avec uniquement les termes en neuf langues, en correspondance avec les termes anglais et francais : allemand, arabe, chinois, espagnol, italien, japonais, neerlandais, norvegien et russe (publies).

The utilization of refrigeration and cryogenics contributes to high-quality preservation and processing of foods, in environmental protection, and in case of emergencies. Refrigerating and cryogenic engineering enhance progress in machine-building and automation of manufacturing processes, while refrigeration and cryogenics are increasingly used in construction. Refrigerating engineering is the backbone of the air-conditioning industry. This dictionary covers all of these aspects: it presents terminology that is used in thermodynamics and transport, as well as terminology depicting the use of refrigeration and cryogenics in the chemical and mining industries and in low-temperature physics. It contains basic terminology on refrigerating machinery, heat-transfer processes and heat-exchange equipment, refrigerating plants, cold-storage warehouses, refrigerating commercial equipment, and units.
