Fundamentals of Refrigeration

Course No. M-2021

Credit: 2 PDH

Course Fee: $57.90 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Manuel Calzada, P.E.

 

Overview

This course covers the fundamentals and the principles of the single compression refrigeration cycle. It includes the thermodynamic properties of the refrigerants and basic calculations used to determine capacities of each one of the components in the single stage refrigeration cycle.

Only basic knowledge of thermodynamics is needed to understand the Pressure to Enthalpy diagrams and energy conservation equations.

The course is divided into sections to study each one of the basic components (compressor, condenser, expansion and evaporator). At the end, a section is included to cover the complete refrigeration cycle. The purpose of this section is to show the student how changes in one of the components can affect the overall performance of the complete cycle. This section is especially important because, although each component is selected individually, it is important to understand how variations in any of the components can affect the overall performance of the complete system.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Calculating coefficient of performance
