REF-132 Industrial Ammonia Refrigeration I
This course provides students with an overview of the foundational skills necessary to observe industrial or commercial ammonia refrigeration operations, to record pertinent operation parameters, and to take control actions as directed by a supervisor or operational-level personnel. Topics include ammonia refrigeration saturation tables, temperature and pressure conversions, phase changes, specific heat, compressor and condenser types and operation, high pressure receivers, evaporators, and heat exchangers. Upon completion, students should be able to identify basic industrial ammonia refrigeration systems and components, explain the ammonia refrigeration process, and explain the basic theory and operating practices related to industrial ammonia refrigeration systems.
