Industrial Refrigeration Workshop

Workshop Objectives

A one-week intensive short course on industrial refrigeration as practiced in food freezing, refrigeration, and in other low temperature applications. A systematic study of the technical background, the practice, and the latest developments in low-temperature refrigeration.

   

• Provide the participants with much of the knowledge that they would obtain by longer experience in the industry – often through the agony of costly mistakes.
• Provide a thorough technical grounding in topics crucial to industrial refrigeration.
• Benefit from the experience of a group of industry experts.
• Learn the latest research and development pertinent to industrial refrigeration.

Topics to be Covered

• Refrigerant properties
• Single- and two-stage refrigeration cycles
• Load calculations
• Construction of refrigerated buildings
• Liquid re-circulation systems
• Reciprocating and screw compressors
• Performance and selection of evaporator coils
• Condensers
• Energy conservation
• Vessel sizing
• Liquid pumps
• Pipe sizing
• Safety
• Control of both halocarbon and ammonia systems

A thread that will extend through the week is the design of an ammonia refrigeration system serving a food distribution center incorporating selected low-charge technology.Refrigeration equipment and systems used in this facility are typical of a wide variety of applications.
