Training Manual
Refrigerant pressures, states and conditions are covered, as well as how they apply to the refrigeration system. Vapor pressures, sub-cooling, superheat, saturation, latent heat,
and sensible heat are explained and applied to the refrigeration cycle. Basic system components, their functions and applications are included. Detailed explanations of each point
in the refrigeration cycle will clarify questions the reader may have.
