Course Overview
This is a hands-on course to provide students the necessary skills to repair and maintain a variety of refrigeration plants and associated equipment, similar to those used on ships. The theoretical knowledge learned in the previous refrigeration course will be applied in the lab/workshop setting. Students will use refrigeration tools and test equipment to troubleshoot a working refrigeration system, draw vacuum, and recharge refrigerant using different methods. Students will be evaluated on their ability to solve system problems. Safe handling, identification, and recovery of refrigerant to comply with environmental and regulatory requirements will be discussed.
