Refrigeration Systems and Accessories
>> Learn Refrigeration Systems and Accessories
Ensuring optimal comfort in commercial real estate is key to tenant satisfaction—and well-maintained refrigeration equipment plays a vital role in achieving that. This course provides a comprehensive overview of refrigeration systems used in air conditioning, focusing on their operation, maintenance, and efficiency.
This course provides a comprehensive review of the refrigeration cycle, key system components, and the operation and maintenance of both reciprocating and absorption refrigeration systems.
You’ll review the fundamentals of the refrigeration cycle, explore key system components, and learn how to operate and maintain both reciprocating and absorption systems. The course emphasizes real-world skills, including how to diagnose performance issues, implement effective maintenance practices, and troubleshoot problems with confidence.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Doyle Steadman
Back in the 70’s as a young man, I entered into the field of Stationary Engineering. This has proven to be a beneficial venture.
After serving my apprenticeship I became a first grade engineer, then took a chief engineers position at the old Houston Natural Gas building. Then in 1979, I started my own business as a HVAC contractor. Later, in 1983, I was asked to teach at the BOMI school which I was happy to do and have been an instructor ever since.
Stationary Engineering is a field that will always have a useful application as long as there are buildings with mechanical equipment. It is a fact that things wear out and break over time. There has to be someone who can diagnose and repair those things when they do. I doubt AI and robotic machines will ever be able to replace a hands on person to perform that type of work. Therefore this field is a very stable field to make carrier in. The SEAS school is perhaps the best place I know of to assist in that development.
I have never regretted becoming a Stationary Engineer and look forward to helping my students achieve their goals as well in this dynamic field.
