Abstract

The development of industry has promoted the progress of civilization. The process of refrigeration and cooling in the industry is an indispensable part. With the development and progress of industrial technology, refrigeration and cooling technology accompanied by it is also advancing with the times. This chapter introduces the characteristics of refrigeration and cooling needs in the industry, and the thermodynamic characteristics of refrigeration systems in the industry. The chapter also presents examples of CO2 cooling system applications in four application areas: food industry cooling, ice making in ice rink, power generation with refrigeration, and transport refrigeration.
