Fundamentals of RefrigerationACR1052 ›
This course is an introduction to basic concepts related to heat and air conditioning cooling, the study of the physical laws relating to refrigerants and basic components of a mechanical refrigeration system for vapor compression. It Includes topics such as: Types and functions of compressors, condensers, evaporators and expansion, types of refrigerants, the ozone layer, the rules of the Environmental Protection Agency, how to solder copper pipes, description of how a vacuum is done, how to charge a refrigeration system with refrigerant and the use of the recovery machine.
Fundamentals of ElectricityACR1101 ›
The course is an introduction to basic concepts of electricity and magnetism. It includes topics such as: atomic structure of matter, sources of electricity, simple circuits, Ohm’s Law and its use in solving loads in series and parallel circuits. It also includes alternating and direct currents, determination of circuit problems, concepts of inductance, capacitance, resistance, impedance, power factor and electricity and the environment, as well as describing how to calculate the electrical power, electrical cable sizing and electrical protection and the use of the multimeter hooked.
Principles & Applications of ElectricityACR1113 ›
A study of electrical circuits applied to air conditioning and heating. Topics include: electrical symbols, schematics real circuits, diagnostics of the most common electrical problems in the compressors’ electric motor, and forms or methods used to start a compressor. Other topics include electrical connections and air conditioning system protective controls, as well as explaining and making electrical connections of low voltage components. The course content will be taught through theory and practice.
Air Conditioning SystemsACR1500 ›
This course discusses the installation and operation of different types of air conditioning systems used today. Topics include: basic concepts of air conditioning systems, comfort conditions, AC load estimation, the use of diagrams, mechanical components of the system, and types of equipment including basics of heating systems. In workshops, students will acquire skills in handling tools and measurement instruments in the repair and installation of the units and components.
