Description |
| AIRC 1113 | Automotive Climate Control | 3 | 2 | 2 | 0 | AIRC 1116 Basic refrigeration or approval by the instructor | This course is a study of the theory of refrigeration, the refrigeration cycle, and the basic components of a typical automotive system. The function of all components, including the computer- monitored system is covered. This information corresponds to material covered on the ASE certification test. Live vehicles are utilized for lab experience. General education components (safety, problem solving, critical thinking, decision-making, and group activities) have been incorporated. | |
| AIRC 1116 | Basic Refrigeration | 6 | 4 | 4 | 0 | None | Basic Refrigeration includes a comprehensive study of mechanical refrigeration systems emphasizing proper service techniques through analysis of the problem. Testing procedures and parts removal and installation are covered in depth. In addition, identification and use of hand tools and brazing processes are taught. Practical application is provided in the laboratory. | |
| AIRC 1126 | Electricity for AC/Refrigeration | 6 | 4 | 4 | 0 | None | Electricity for Air Conditioning & Refrigeration is an introductory study of electricity and electrical circuits, electric components, and schematics. In addition, Students will study the wide variety of motors, single- and three-phase, used in the air conditioning and refrigeration field. Practical application is provided in the laboratory. | |
| AIRC 1136 | Commercial Refrigeration | 6 | 4 | 4 | 0 | AIRC 1116 Basic Refrigeration, AIRC 1126 Electricity for Air Conditioning & Refrigeration | This course is designed to introduce the student to commercial refrigeration as related to the air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration field. The student will be required to identify the theory, operation, and basic repair of systems and components to include the following: reach-in refrigerators and freezers, display cases, walk-in refrigerators and freezer systems, ice machines, ice cream machines, defrost timers, hot gas bypass systems, and other components related to refrigeration. | |
| AIRC 1146 | Residential Systems | 6 | 4 | 4 | 0 | AIRC 1116 Basic Refrigeration and AIRC 1126 Electricity for Air Conditioning & Refrigeration | Residential Systems is the study of major components and control devices for gas and electric furnaces and cooling systems. The student will be required to assemble components in an operative system. Practical application is provided in the laboratory with safety being an integral part of training. | |
| AIRC 1163 | Controls for AC/Refrigeration | 3 | 2 | 2 | 0 | AIRC 1116 Basic Refrigeration, AIRC 1126 Electricity for Air Conditioning & Refrigeration | This course is designed to introduce the student to control systems and components used in residential and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning. The student will examine low voltage systems as well as line voltage controls, pneumatic control systems and their components and be introduced to electronic controls. Upon completion of this course the student is expected to be able to read a control diagram, troubleshoot, repair, and/or install new controls in a variety of systems. | |
| AIRC 1173 | Commercial Air Conditioning | 3 | 2 | 2 | 0 | AIRC 1116 Basic Refrigeration and AIRC 1126 Electricity for Air Conditioning & Refrigeration | This course is designed to introduce the student to commercial air conditioning systems and their uses. The student will examine chill water and water cooled systems, air handlers, cooling towers, pumps, hydraulics, and fans. They will also learn about centrifugal air conditioners and absorption machines. Upon completion of this course the student is expected to be able to explain the types and uses of commercial systems and be familiar with their operating characteristics |
