Overview

A detailed, technical course relating to refrigeration and psychometrics, focusing on how the refrigeration process operates, and the relationship with other parts of the cooling system.

This is an advanced course for engineers and technicians who have a good level of knowledge and a recommended minimum of two years’ experience within the industry. It is also recommended that candidates complete Fundamentals of HVAC & Building Technology (BCM01) first.

Objectives

At the end of this course, delegates will have a general knowledge of:

  • The h, log p chart.
  • The compression refrigeration cycle.
  • The functioning of heat pumps and ice storage plants.
  • The absorption process.
  • The different solution variants for refrigeration cycles.
  • Chiller sequencing, chilled water pumps and cooling towers.

Course Content

  • Fundamentals of thermodynamics refrigerants.
  • The h, log p chart.
  • Mechanical design of compression refrigeration plant.
  • The compression refrigeration circuit in the h, log p chart.
  • Heat pump technology.
  • The absorption cycle.
  • Optimising chiller plant.

Online Course Exams for ECS Card Applications

For courses taken online, delegates cannot be invigilated whilst completing their assessment, therefore if they wish to apply for an Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) card they will be required to complete an exam via ClassMarker AND an ECS invigilated exam in order to meet the requirements of ECS. 

After successful completion of the online course, the BCIA will email you the details on how to take the ECS invigilated exam. Assessments using the ECS assessment remote invigilation service are included in the price of the course and the ECS HS&E test can also be booked through the BCIA. Find out more on the Remote Invigilation Service.
