About the Workshop This workshop is a virtual offering of the long-running course on industrial refrigeration as practiced in food freezing, refrigeration, and other low-temperature applications. A systematic study is made of the technical background, the practice, and the latest developments in low temperature refrigeration. Starting in 1982, this is the 59th offering of the workshop. For Whom Engineers and supervisors employed by equipment manufacturers, design firms, refrigerated warehouses, food processors, contractors, and chemical firms. The course is intended for designers and builders of new or enlarged plants, supervisors of plant operations, engineers for manufacturers who will learn how their components fit into systems, engineers, and managers either new to the industrial refrigeration field, or veteran engineers and managers seeking a refresher. Also, the workshop is intended for those making decisions concerning the plant or facility. Objectives Our objective is to provide participants with much of the knowledge that they would otherwise obtain through industry experience, often with the agony of costly mistakes. We hope that participants will gain a thorough technical grounding in topics crucial to industrial refrigeration; benefit from the experiences of a group of longtime industry professionals; and learn about the latest research and developments relevant to industrial refrigeration.
