R50 -- Terminology of Refrigeration - (SI)

This chapter seeks to define some of the common terms used in industrial refrigeration systems, specifically those using ammonia as the refrigerant. The following glossary was compiled from a variety of sources throughout the industry, including ASHRAE, the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR), the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Specific sources for entries are listed in the endnotes. Minor edits for punctuation, conciseness, and consistency with usage elsewhere in the Handbook have been made.
