Objectifs du programme

The Refrigeration program prepares students to practise the trade of refrigeration specialist. Refrigeration specialists work in various sectors in the construction industry and elsewhere. They install, commission, maintain, repair and optimize air conditioning systems (central, packaged or split) and refrigeration systems (high or low capacity). They are also responsible for converting these systems, recovering refrigerants and dismantling installations. This work is done in accordance with drawings, specifications, environmental standards and the certificates in effect (Commission de la construction du Québec CCQ competency certificate and Emploi-Québec certificate of qualification), as well as the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety. Refrigeration specialists use tools and equipment for access, handling, cutting, brazing and tack-welding jobs. They also use measuring instruments such as manometers and multimeters.

Mécanicien en réfrigération et en climatisation

Les mécaniciennes et les mécaniciens en réfrigération, communément appelés frigoristes, installent, entretiennent et réparent les appareils des systèmes de climatisation et de réfrigération (compresseur, condenseur, évaporateur, réservoir, comptoir réfrigéré, etc.). Ils installent et soudent la tuyauterie des systèmes de climatisation et de réfrigération, effectuent la mise en marche des systèmes et le réglage des commandes électroniques et soumettent les installations à des tests d’étanchéité. C’est un métier de résolution de problèmes dans un domaine en constante évolution. Une carrière comme mécanicien en réfrigération demande des habiletés manuelles, un souci de l’environnement, de la concentration et de la précision.
