Design and Operation of Ammonia Evaporators, Condensers, and Controls Training

This comprehensive "Design and Operation of Ammonia Evaporators, Condensers, and Controls" course equips you to become an expert in these critical components of industrial cooling systems. Upon completion, you'll be able to:

 Define the role of an evaporator and explore different types, including flooded and dry expansion systems, with a clear understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.

 Identify factors influencing evaporator heat transfer and discover the crucial role of Controlled Pressure Receivers (CPRs) in this process.

 Grasp the importance of ice defrost systems and understand different methods like hot gas defrost, soft hot gas defrost, and alternatives like electric, water, and continuous defrost approaches.

 Explain how a condenser works in different systems and differentiate between air-cooled, water-cooled, and evaporative options.

 Demystify the operation of evaporative condensers, identify their key components, and learn how to choose the right one based on functionality.

 Gain best practices for maintaining and ensuring the safe operation of evaporative condensers.

 Describe the purpose and operation of various control valves in refrigeration systems.

 Understand ASHRAE and ASME standards for installing and setting safety relief valve pressure in ammonia systems.

 Learn key considerations when choosing valves and identify the differences between various shutoff valve types and their applications.

 Learn about the advantages and limitations of both mechanical and electronic methods for monitoring liquid levels in refrigeration.
