Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
AIRC 1014 - Fundamentals of Air Conditioning
(Formerly Air Conditioning & Refrigeration I) 2/4 (4)
The student will describe the fundamentals of refrigeration
and refrigeration theory which will include various condensers,
evaporators, compressors, and related components. He
or she will use basic hand tools to replace and repair copper
tubing, iron pipe, brass, and copper fittings. The student will
become familiar with, and will demonstrate, minor installation
procedures, refrigerant control and metering of refrigerant for
absorbing heat, tool care, and handling of tubing and fittings.
Basic tools must be supplied by the student.

Prerequisite: AIRC 1014. The student will describe the various
systems components and their uses. He or she will explain the
function of flow controls, defrost systems, receivers, water and
electric valves, and related controls and will apply this information
to analyze and service commercial refrigeration systems
which include food lockers and over-the-road equipment. This
will include complete installation procedures, insulation of
fixtures, thermal conductivity of heat, and insulation vs. temperature.
AIRC 1214 - Heating Plants 2/4 (4)
Prerequisite: AIRC 1014. The student will describe forced air, hot
water, steam, reverse cycle, heat pump, gas radiant, electronic,
and hydronic heating plants. He or she will become familiar with

Prerequisite: AIRC 1014. The student will estimate “load” and
design duct installations for residential and commercial systems.
He or she will identify efficient control units and properly balance
these systems; calculate proper sizing, velocity, pressure,
and loss; and describe the use of tempering and humidity controls
in air-handling design. He or she will learn maintenance
in relation to proper control and design and master the use of
available instruments.
