Acknowledgements

Originally this book was conceived as a joint work, in co-authorship with Mr. L. C. Bull. Unfortunately, owing to other commitments, he was compelled largely to forego his interest. However, Chapters 9 and 14 (on the fundamentals of vapour-compression and vapour- absorption refrigeration) are entirely his work. The author wishes to make this special acknowledgement to Mr. Bull for writing these chapters and also to thank him for his continued interest, advice and encouragement. Sadly, Mr. Bull is now deceased.

The helpful comment of Mr. E. Woodcock is also appreciated.

The author is also indebted to Mr. D. J. Newson for his contribution and comment.
