The objective of the workshop is to provide participants with much of the knowledge that they would obtain by longer experience in the industry, to provide a thorough technical grounding in topics crucial to industrial refrigeration, to benefit from the experience of a group of industry experts; and to learn of the latest research and development pertinent to industrial refrigeration.
Topics to be covered will include:
• Refrigerant properties;
• Single- and two-stage refrigeration cycles;
• Load calculations;
• Construction of refrigerated buildings;
• Liquid recirculation systems;
• Reciprocating and screw compressors;
• Performance and selection of evaporator coils;
• Condensers;
• Energy conservation;
• Vessel sizing;
• Liquid pumps;
• Pipe sizing;
• Safety; and
• Control of both halocarbon and ammonia systems.
A thread that will extend through the week is the design of an ammonia-carbon dioxide cascade system serving a food distribution center — new for this workshop offering. Refrigeration equipment and systems used in this facility are typical of a wide variety of applications.
Participants may receive a Certificate of Participation reporting 35 contact hours, which will provide documentation for engineering (or other) Professional Development Hour (PDH) or Continuing Education Unit (CEU) requirements. The cost for this certificate is $10 with your registration payment.
The course is intended for engineers and supervisors employed by equipment manufacturers, design firms, refrigerated warehouses, food processors, contractors, and chemical firms; designers and builders of new or enlarged plants, supervisors of plant operations, engineers for manufacturers who will learn how their components fit into systems, engineers and managers either new to the industrial refrigeration field, or veteran engineers and managers seeking a refresher; and those making decisions concerning the plant or facility.
