Working in partnership, the BRA and IOR have revised Part 2 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 2: System Design and Component Selection focuses on the complex area of system design in conjunction with safety and environmental considerations.
This title is available to download for free for BRA/IOR members or is purchasable for non-members for £20.00+VAT from:
