Refrigeration Fundamentals and Procedures Badge Details
Objective
Students will learn about the fundamentals and procedures of the transportation refrigeration industry. In this certification, students will be able to diagnose several operating procedures for the Thermo King Single Temp Precedent unit such as the difference between heat, temperature and latent heat, refrigerant flow throughout the unit, system operations, and service tools and procedures. There will be hands-on labs for the students to practice what they learned.
