Refrigeration Engineering Courses

The field of refrigeration is in a state of rapid change, because of the imminent phasing out of production of commonly used chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) refrigerants and restrictions on their release. As a result of these environmental issues, users, suppliers and manufacturers in the field facing difficult problems and some measure of uncertainty. Therefore, major research and development programmes, some of them involving international cooperation, are in place in order to find solutions.

While Canada has some highly qualified personnel at all levels in refrigeration, they are, however, too few in number. Perhaps the greatest need is for more education in thermodynamics and refrigeration engineering at the university level.

Evidently only the Technical University of Nova Scotia (Department of Mechanical Engineering) offers a graduate program in engineering refrigeration. This program provides all up-to-date information regarding current problems facing engineering refrigeration. Details for two refrigeration courses are provided here.
