    Description
    This course is a study of elementary thermodynamics as applied to Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) systems, including molecular theory of temperature, pressure and heat. Emphasis is placed on the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, HVACR system components, their thermal performance and applications. Discussions include historical to modern systems, with emphasis placed on new energy-saving technologies and methods being employed in this dynamic industry. This course is intended for students interested in heating, refrigeration and air conditioning technology, and solar energy.
