Thermodynamics : heat pumps and refrigerators,

With increasing globalization, the products available to consumers in this country could

be manufactured in many different places in the world. This raises concerns about safety, maintenance

and parts availability, and requires the development of international standards. Please describe the

importance of international standards associated with air conditioners, heat pumps and refrigerators,

namely those standards related to thermodynamics such as the safe operating pressure and

environmental quality of the coolant. Write two paragraphs (half page single-spaced) and cite two web-

based references.
