ABSTRACT:
All refrigeration applications that employ the vapor- compression cycle are
similar, but the need to operate at low temperatures brings with it requirements that result
in systems differing from, for example, comfort air conditioning. Even refrigerated building
must be equipped with certain features not needed in, for example, an office building.
Industrial refrigeration systems also need multiple vessels throughout the system.
Condensers and expansion devices also differ from higher-temperature applications.
Even the way of doing business seems to be unique.
Will Stoecker is Professor Emeritus of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the
University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign where he taught and conducted research for
42 years. He concentrated on work in thermal system design, air conditioning, and
refrigeration. In the last 12 years of his work at the University he concentrated on
industrial refrigeration. He is a Fellow of both ASHRAE and ASME, and has received the
E. K. Campbell Award and the F. Paul Anderson Medal, ASHRAE’s highest technical
award.
In addition to teaching classes and advising graduate students on research projects, Dr.
Stoecker worked summers at the Trane Company, Carrier Corporation, E. I. DuPont and
Exxon Research. He has consulted for many firms in the industry. He was on the
Scientific Advisory Council of the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses
and the Scientific Advisor of the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration for ten
years. He is the Associate Director of the Industrial Refrigeration Workshop, a one-week
program conducted annually for technical staff in the refrigeration industry.
