Part of the YH programme Operations and Property Technician at TUC Yrkeshögskola. This course cannot be applied for on its own. Programme code: DRIF23LIN.
Refrigeration and Heat Pump Technology, 20 YH credits, gives you in-depth knowledge of regulations such as the F-gas Regulation (F-gasförordningen) and the Swedish Refrigerant Ordinance (Köldmediekungörelsen), as well as refrigeration technology, the components of the refrigeration circuit and the role of refrigeration and heat pump installations in the climate and energy systems of buildings. You gain advanced knowledge of sizing pipework and components, compressors, expansion valves and heat exchangers. The course prepares you for certification equivalent to Category II.
