This course offers a basic understanding of refrigerants types, policies, classifications and management practices. It is aimed at non-specialists in the field, such as facility managers, policymakers, and other individuals who are involved in refrigerant issues from a non-technical perspective. It also, however, can serve as an introduction to refrigerant basics for those new to the industry. The course consists of four lessons.
Lesson 1 covers refrigerants types and addresses environmental considerations. Lesson 2 deals with refrigerant classifications including ASHRAE Standards 15 and 34. Lesson 3 addresses refrigeration selection, including residential and small commercial applications. Lesson 4 covers Refrigerant Management, including the development of a management plan, containers, storage, and recovery, recycling, and reclamation.
