Course Description & Instructional Objective:

     This course includes advanced laboratory projects involving design, assembly and operation of compression systems; evacuation of systems, refrigerant recovery and charging methods; complex wiring schematics; wiring and trouble shooting of complex electrical controls for refrigeration and air conditioning systems; psychrometric applications to air problems, system capacity and system charge.

 

     Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to understand complex system controls; measure air and water flow; calculate a base load on CFM, DB and WB; measure KW; calculate EER and COP. The student will be able to wire and trouble shoot complex electrical controls for refrigeration and air conditioning systems and use refrigerant charging and refrigerant recovery equipment sufficiently. Have the command of industry vocabulary to appropriately describe complex mechanical refrigeration systems and components.
