This is accomplished through both lecture and hands-on segments during the seminars so attendees will have an opportunity to participate in various activities. All attendees will have opportunities to operate and troubleshoot fully functional control panels and communication networks. Additionally, seminars offered at the GEA FES, Inc. facility in York, PA will include hands-on opportunities with the screw compressors as well.
Seminar participants should be familiar with basic refrigeration systems and electricity or controls operation. This course is not intended to cover specific equipment installations or detailed refrigeration engineering theory.
