This seminar, presented by a brewer, provides basic information about refrigeration that every brewing professional needs to know. Having a basic knowledge of refrigeration allows the brewing professional to recognize false claims made by equipment suppliers and service personnel. Learn why you need a basic understanding of refrigeration instead of spending 30 years at the school of hard knocks.

Uncover the mystery of your chiller and other heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Learn several refrigeration terms and why they are important to know and understand. Example: What is saturated suction temperature (SST) and why is it important to know this data point of your chiller?
