Description
This course is for you if you are an HVAC or refrigeration service professional. In this training course, students will learn:
· History of refrigeration - NEW Content!.
· Learn abou the Second Law of Thermodynamics and how it applied to refrigeration.
· Learn about the FOUR key refrigeration components (Compressor, Condenser, Meter device, and Evaporator) all work together to refrigeration possible.
· Introduction to the refrigeration cycle by way of a step-by-step run through.
· Equipment needed to perform refrigeration system diagnostics: bonus, devices what you need and what you don't.
· Understanding the temperature relationship chart.
· What is superheat and subcooling, and how to acquire readings from a refrigeration system.
· How to use superheat and subcooling to perform diagnosis on any refrigeration system.
How can your benefit from this class, you ask? Over my career, I have had the opportunity to teach some of the best and brightest the above vital principles.
With these principles and the ability to refer back to this information as much as you want, you will be able to quickly determine the operating condition of ANY refrigeration system dramatically speeding up your diagnostics.
Students of this Basic Refrigeration and Troubleshooting course have moved on to start their own HVACR business and earn their way into the SIX FIGURES through hard work and applying the principles in this class.
YOU ARE WORTH THE INVESTMENT!

I am an industry-leading process chiller and refrigeration systems designer, author, US Patent holder, business owner, and consultant.
I have 30+ years of experience strategically developing, implementing, and positively influencing commercial and industrial HVACR service operations and process chiller manufacturing.
Starting my own small residential HVAC business in 1986, known as (King Air Conditioning, Inc) my company grew to a multimillion-dollar commercial HVACR service and installation business located in San Jose, CA.
In 1997, I started a small process chiller design and manufacturing company building OEM process chillers for Hewlett Packard's digital IC testing division. By early 1998, the company that would eventually be known as Legacy Chiller Systems, Inc. was born.
With HVACR contracting and process chiller manufacturing under one roof, my two companies proliferated into many different markets as our clients at the time liked the one-stop-shop solution we created.
In just a few years, we had amassed process chiller manufacturing and system installation opportunities in the public and private sectors.
Public sector clients included: The US Navy, US Air Force, US Army.
Private sector clients included: Intel, HP, IBM, Agilent Technologies.
Eventually, our process chiller manufacturing outgrew the HVACR contracting side, so in 2001, I sold King Air Condition, Inc. to one of our local competitors.
In June of 2021, after running Legacy Chiller Systems, Inc. for over twenty years, I sold the business to J&M Fluidics (Telford, PA) to spend more time with my wife, who has been through it all with me (thick and thin) for over 30 years and persue my long term passion of teaching.
In January of 2021, my new venture, Process Chiller Academy, was born.
As of this writing in March of 2021, we are developing our online course curriculum and currently upgrading a Basic Refrigeration Course published online in 2017.
