What does a refrigeration system engineer do?

Refrigeration system engineers actually have quite a ‘cool’ job. After all, without refrigeration systems, we would not have ice cream, for example. Cooling and air-conditioning systems can be found in every shop, in the computer room, the hospital, industry and household.

Refrigeration system engineers install, maintain and repair refrigeration systems and appliances. They always take ecological and technological energy aspects into account. They manufacture and lay refrigeration pipelines in buildings, assemble system components and all control and regulatory equipment, adjust systems, and check that they are working properly. During repairs, they locate and eliminate faults, something that is sometimes rather tricky, as these systems also house electrical and electronic components.

 

During commissioning, they perform pressure and temperature measurements and log results.
