REFR-1001Thermodynamics and Heat Fundamentals
The science of refrigeration is essential knowledge for refrigeration and air conditioning technicians to aid in designing and troubleshooting systems. In this foundational course, students will be introduced to the principles of thermodynamics, psychrometric, and hydraulics through theory and practical applications in refrigeration systems. Students will learn about air and fluid control, heat transfer, and psychrometric properties while using Pressure-Enthalpy and psychrometric charts to calculate values. Students will also calculate pressure, volume, and temperature using Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, and Gay-Lussac’s Law.
