REFR-2001Introduction to Mechanical Refrigeration
Heating and cooling systems are an essential part of modern residential and commercial buildings. In this introductory course, students will gain a solid foundation of the principles and operation of mechanical refrigeration systems. They will examine primary components of refrigeration systems including evaporators, condensers, compressors, and metering devices. Students will examine coil types, fin variations, thermostats, and wiring practices. Students will then practice essential skills such as safe inspections, pressure testing, verifying electrical relay operation, and evaluating the performance of the system.
