Learning outcomes:
After completion of this course, Students will be able to:
• Describe the basic principles of refrigeration and its rating,
Coefficient of Performance.
• Identify different refrigeration systems, their components, and
working of air, vapor compression, and vapor absorption cycles.
• Differentiate between various types of compressors, condensers,
evaporators and expansion devices and understand their
advantages and limitations.
• Identify different refrigerants, lubricants and their proper selection
in refrigeration system.
• Design, install, maintain, and service different refrigeration and air-
conditioning systems, and diagnose fault and carry out remedial
procedure.

Pedagogical approach:
The core module syllabus of Refrigeration and Air-conditioning includes classroom
learning and laboratory practical. The syllabus for VI Sem is divided into Six modules
covering 42 hours theory lectures and 28 hours of practical work. The contents of all
six unit will be covered in classroom-based theory lectures and practical. The teacher
should give examples from daily routine as well as engineering/ technology
applications on various concepts and principles in each topic so the students are able
to understand and grasp these concepts and principles. In all concepts, SI units
should be followed. Use of demonstration can make the subject interesting and
develop scientific temper in the students. This learning will enhance knowledge and
inculcate skills and attitudes about Refrigeration and Air-conditioning. Each unit is
based on practical activities and would provide students with first-hand knowledge

7
of various Refrigeration and Air-conditioning aspects. Practical mentioned in the list
will be conducted in the laboratory/industry as applicable. Practical work is one of
the most effective learning tools for this course/subject. This takes the student out
of the book mode to the real working environment. The practical are as essential as
classroom work which form a non-replaceable synergetic tool in the entire learning
process of this course. Student participatory activities may be planned- two way
communication, assignments and presentation, use of videos/documentaries to
enhance domain knowledge, encouraging students to read reference books.
Demonstrate/practice approach may be followed throughout the course so that
learning is employability & Entrepreneurship oriented.
