or azeotrope usually at saturation |
| | |
| liquor |
solution used in absorption refrigeration |

| litre |
SI unit of volume; (cubic decimetre) limited to
capacity in dry measure of granular, freely pouring solids, and to fluid
measure (both liquids and gases). No prefixes except milli or micro should be

| load |
1.
amount of heat per unit time imposed on a refrigeration system by the required
rate of heat removal.
2.
energy absorbing device.
3.
material, force, torque, energy, or power applied to or removed from a system
or element.
4.

| load management (electric) | deliberate control or influencing of user loads
to affect the time of use of electric power and energy. |

| load profile |
summary of thermal loads in a system over time. Note: e.g., A common load profile on a
peak design day, for thermal storage designs would show hourly system load
requirements for 24 hours |

| loading error |
1.
error due to the adverse effect of a load on the transducer or signal source
driving it. 2. error in transferring data from a data source
to a computer memory. See also error |
