Students dive into the theory and hands-on lab projects of refrigeration including safety, hand tools, recovery, flaring, swaging, and brazing. Also, they learn the theory behind temperature, matter and energy, the refrigeration cycle, refrigerants, evacuations, and charging systems.
Electricity:
Electricity is found in every unit with which the HVAC/R servicer/installer will come in contact and is a fundamental concept that must be understood thoroughly, even for entry-level positions.听 The focus is on safety, hand-tools, energy sources, meter use, circuits, Ohm鈥檚 law, magnetic theory, transformers, single and three-phase electricity, wiring diagrams and troubleshooting.
