Course Content Summary

Dive into carefully curated modules and accelerate your learning journey in understanding and handling HFO/A2L refrigerants:

  • Thermodynamic refrigeration cycle, heat theory, heat transfer thermodynamics, heat equation thermodynamics

    Heat Theory

    The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only altered in form. Energy transfer is associated with mass crossing the control boundary, external work, or heat transfer across the boundary for any system. This is heat theory.

  • Refrigeration cycle, refrigerants, how refrigeration works, refrigeration basic cycle

    Refrigeration Basics

    We discuss refrigeration basics and what it means for a space to be refrigerated and cooled down. This continues to build the foundation for understanding the Refrigeration Cycle.

  • Refrigeration Cycle, Refrigeration Cycle, Refrigeration Cycle Basics,  Diagram, Vapor Compression Cycle, Refrigeration Cycle Explained,

    Refrigeration Cycle

    The refrigeration cycle, sometimes called a heat pump cycle, is a means of routing heat away from the area you want to cool. This is accomplished by manipulating the pressure of the working refrigerant (air, water, synthetic refrigerants, etc.) through a cycle of compression and expansion.

  • Final Examination / Certification

    Your learning journey culminates with a comprehensive final exam with unlimited chances. This 20-question test assesses your understanding and application of the knowledge acquired throughout the course. Achieve a passing score of 70%, and you'll be awarded the prestigious certification from The Training Center.
