MET 4480 - Air Conditioning/Refrigeration

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): MET 3110 and MET 3125 with grades of “C” or better

Description: In this course, thermodynamics and heat transfer principles to the analysis and design of refrigeration systems and comfort conditioning systems for buildings are introduced. Refrigeration cycles are studied. Operation and rating of system components are evaluated with specific emphasis on heat flow in condensers, evaporators, and cooling towers. Temperature and humidity control, along with air handling equipment and ducting, are studied.
