The HFT Refrigeration and HVAC range has been designed and developed to allow study of the

theoretical and practical operation of many types of refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Students can choose a career as either system design engineers or technicians able to diagnose

operating problems and repair different types of refrigeration and HVAC systems.

The HFT refrigeration and HVAC range allows fundamental to advanced study of industrial

and domestic systems, automotive air conditioning, heat pumps, system components, and

simulation of Refrigeration and HVAC control systems.

The refrigeration and HVAC range is suitable for use in universities, colleges, polytechnics,

industrial and vocational training centres.
