Students in our Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, and Heating Systems Technology program (HVAC Technology) learn to build key skills for working with commercial refrigeration control systems, repairing and replacing compressors, handling refrigerant piping, and plotting air conditioners with psychrometric charts. The theory and practical applications of electricity are taught, as are strict safety procedures for working with high voltage systems. Lincoln Tech also trains the student to carefully recover and recycle coolant, a must-know skill for handling compressed gases and preventing gas from escaping into the environment.
