Refrigeration & Air Conditioning

The course delivers state-of-the-art theory and provides hands-on practical training in refrigeration and air-conditioning techniques and their applications in industry. A particular focus of this course is on climate-friendly alternative refrigerants: Ammonia, CO2, Hydrocarbons and Water.

Participants will learn how real systems used in commercial and industrial refrigeration as well as air conditioning systems are working. The participants will be able to experiment in the university lab with different refrigeration systems, including the world most efficient and cleanest unit, based on pure water. During the course participants will get to visit a real carbon dioxide supermarket plant, an industrial ammonia installation as well as Hydrocarbon air conditioning and commercial refrigeration systems.

 

The following items will be covered:

• Alternative refrigerants
• Thermodynamics, Refrigeration, Working fluids, Heat transfer
• Compressors, Heat exchangers, Expansion valves
• Two stage / cascade systems
• Controls
• Simulation
• Commercial, industrial and transport refrigeration
• Air conditioning (stationary and mobile)
