REFG 113 will be a 3-hour long lecture-lab combination class. Some of the time will be spent lecturing, using academic course materials. The rest of the time will be spent in a lab setting, practicing the application of skills learned in theory. This course will introduce the student to various theories behind mechanical refrigeration, refrigerants, and the refrigeration system. Students will take necessary readings and measurements to solidify their understanding of a simple refrigeration system. There will also be introductions and opportunities to use evacuation, refrigerant recovery, and refrigerant charging equipment. This class may require participation in several field trips for further understanding of the
profession.
