Cause and Effect of the Mechanical Refrigeration System

Instructor:  Book: Placeholder

Description

This is an introductory course to present the fundamental principles of mechanical refrigeration. The course is designed for persons interested in pursuing a career in servicing, repairing and/or installing refrigeration and air conditioning equipment as well as building maintenance persons. Topics covered include refrigeration theory workshop. This course is a prerequisite for all other courses in the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning and Building Maintenance core.

Special Note:  This is a self paced class and you have the whole semester to complete or as time will allow, as efficient as possible.  No labs are required for this class.   This class is online in Canvas.  Please take the 1/2 credit modules (9501, 9502, etc.) in sequence until you are ready to take the EPA 608 exam.   You must complete the Getting Started Module in order to access the rest of the class.   There is a quiz at the end of each chapter in Canvas.   Contact your instructor if you need help completing any of the tasks.

AC 102 9601 Objectives - Refrigeration Theory

- Apply an operational understanding of the mechanical refrigeration system cycle, its components, and their functions.
- Understand the laws of physics as they apply to mechanical refrigeration systems.

AC 102 9601 Course Outcomes - Refrigeration Theory

Students will develop a fundamental understanding of the laws of physics, including thermodynamics, as they apply to mechanical refrigeration systems.

Measure: Ability to understand the laws of physics, including thermodynamics,

will be measured by written quizzes and exams using standards known

to the students.

Outcome: Students will demonstrate an operational understanding of the

mechanical refrigeration cycle, its components, and their functions.

Measures: Demonstration of operational understanding will be measured by a combination of written quizzes and exams using standards known to the students and practical demonstration/solution of common troubleshooting problems. Students' ability will be evaluated by predetermined rubrics.
