This online engineering course provides necessary information to understand the principles and theory of refrigeration, the components of mechanical refrigeration systems, and the types of refrigerants and associated equipment. This course also discusses the methods used for installing, maintaining, and repairing refrigeration equipment, including domestic refrigerators and freezers.
Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an area or a substance. It is usually done by an artificial means of lowering the temperature, such as by the use of ice or mechanical refrigeration, which is a mechanical system or apparatus, designed and constructed to transfer heat from one substance to another.
This 8 PDH online course is intended for HVACR, mechanical and industrial engineers, manufacturers, maintenance staff, and others seeking a basic understanding of refrigeration systems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the physics behind heat and refrigeration
- Learning about the refrigeration cycle and its different mechanical components
- Familiarizing with the different types of refrigerants
- Understanding the safety precautions associated with refrigerants
- Familiarizing with the different types of refrigerant equipment

This online engineering PDH course provides comprehensive information on the chiller compressors. It addresses the key issues pertaining to the chiller compressor selection and their applications. The practical considerations and assessment criterion are also discussed in brief.
In HVAC industry, the refrigeration machine that produces chilled water is referred to as a "chiller". The majority of installations operating worldwide are based on the vapor compression chillers that use mechanical energy in the form of electric motor to drive the cooling cycle. The vapor compression chiller packages are generally classified by 4 types of compressors namely centrifugal, reciprocating, screw and scroll.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to HVAC engineers, facility engineers, architects, environmentalists, operations and maintenance personnel, as well as consultants and contractors who construct, build and manage facilities.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Operating principle of reciprocating, screw, centrifugal and scroll compressors
- Key advantages, disadvantages, limitations and drawbacks of various refrigeration compressors

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the various types of HVAC heating and cooling equipments along with associated system design aspects. The course describes how to select appropriate HVAC equipment for your application and how to integrate various components as a working system.
HVAC system components may be grouped into three functional categories: source components, distribution components, and delivery components. Source components provide or remove heat or moisture. Distribution components convey a heating or cooling medium from a source location to portions of a building that require conditioning. Delivery components serve as an interface between the distribution system and occupied spaces.
This course is in continuation to the course titled "HVAC Concepts and Fundamentals", which introduced the basic design aspects, comfort parameters, psychrometrics, heat transfer concepts, heat loss and heat gain calculations and methods to calculate the energy costs, and is posted separately under Course No. M06-012.
This 8 PDH online course is intended for people who plan, design, install, and operate HVAC systems for buildings. Design engineers, architects, designers, contractors, energy auditors, facility managers and maintenance personal should benefit professionally. It is also relevant to anyone needing to know more about HVAC equipment production and use.
