Learn design of refrigeration system

Blood bank refrigerators are critical medical devices where temperature accuracy, reliability, and safety are non-negotiable. Unlike domestic refrigerators, their design requires a deep understanding of refrigeration principles, component selection, and medical application constraints.

This course provides a step-by-step, practical approach to designing a complete refrigeration system for a blood bank refrigerator. Starting from design requirements and standards, the course guides learners through load estimation, compressor selection, condenser and evaporator design, and expansion device matching, using both catalogue methods and fundamental thermodynamic concepts.

Special emphasis is given to fin-and-tube condenser design, evaporator configuration for uniform cooling, and system integration under Indian and tropical operating conditions. Real-world manufacturer data, simplified calculations, and design logic are used throughout the course to bridge the gap between theory and industrial practice.While this course emphasises on medical refrigeration especially blood bank refrigeration,it is designed for improving concept clarity in the areas of heat transfer,refrigeration and thermal sciences .It is structured to give confidence in learning concepts as well as practical knowledge in the field of refrigeration

By the end of the course, learners will be able to design and justify a complete blood bank refrigeration system, making it highly relevant for mechanical engineering students, HVAC&R learners, design engineers, and educators.
