This edition of Heatcraft Refrigeration Products LLC’s, Engineering 

Manual covering Commercial Refrigeration Cooling and Freezing 

Load Calculations has been prepared in the form of a condensed 

text and reference book. 

 

The theory and principle of modern refrigeration has been 

omitted due to the many excellent publications currently available 

on these subjects. The purpose of this reference book is to furnish 

the engineering, selling and servicing organizations with accurate 

and useful data to simplify load calculations.

 

No attempt has been made to specify a particular make of 

equipment. We sincerely hope that our efforts will be a tangible 

contribution to our rapidly growing industry.
