Propane Refrigeration Basics
Propane refrigeration is the most common mechanical refrigeration process. It has a wide range of applications in the gas processing industry.
The participant will be refreshed with mechanical refrigeration basics and gain practical understanding of the operation of a propane refrigeration system.
The primary objective of the webinar is to describe the major components, how they work, and how to minimize the operating problems.
