The Fundamentals of Natural Gas Cooling

The full range of current technologies are examined in detail, including lithium bromide absorption chiller systems, natural gas engine driven cooling systems, and desiccant cooling and dehumidification systems. For each type of system the key application-specific design, installation, performance, and maintenance parameters are presented, along with case studies of successful applications. Finally, the future outlook and direction for the gas cooling industry is examined, including a brief assessment of the potential for hybrid and combined cycle cooling technologies and an overview of where the industry is headed.
