Heating and refrigeration training at The Refrigeration School, Inc. in Phoenix, AZ

You can begin a career in heating or refrigeration technologies right out of vocational school. The Refrigeration School, Inc. in Phoenix, AZ will strengthen your skills and provide you with the training you need for a successful refrigeration career. Graduates from RSI have found jobs at companies like Northwind Phoenix, thanks to the high-quality heating and cooling education and training programs for which our technical career school is famous.

Northwind Phoenix, an ice-making plant with a signature, 1.1 million gallon water tank, is a prominent Arizona company - and a company utilizing the skills of RSI graduates interested in refrigeration careers, to boot. Northwind has been highlighted on an episode of "How Do They Do It?" on the Discovery Channel, and has professional partnerships with many well-known Phoenix, AZ businesses and corporations.

Between three and five million pounds of ice that can be made in a single night at Northwind Phoenix. The plant is capable of chilling immense amounts of water to low temperatures. The city of Phoenix uses these cooling capabilities to lower the temperatures of places such as Chase Ballpark, U.S. Air Arena, Dodge Theatre, and various office buildings and condominiums.

In Arizona, temperatures can get up to 120 degrees, making air conditioning a necessity. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of athletics. For example, it can get mighty uncomfortable to watch baseball - or, especially, play it -- in that kind of weather. Being active in intense heat can cause dehydration and other medical problems. Northwind's massive cooling capabilities allow the stadium to stay comfortable while reducing energy consumption and keeping costs low.

How does refrigeration technology work?

Air conditioning is effective in cooling buildings of all sizes. Heat is transferred from a lower temperature chamber to a higher temperature chamber. Cold water is passed through heat exchangers, or "air coils," in air conditioning and HVAC terminology. Heat is removed from the water, which is then sent back through pipes to cool the building. Large HVAC and air conditioning systems equipment is regulated by computers and maintained by highly skilled engineers and HVAC-R technicians. These individuals are trained in principles of thermodynamics and air/coolant exchange systems, and they know how to prevent these air conditioning coils from freezing, breaking, or malfunctioning.

Thanks to cooling technology, Phoenix, AZ enjoys an expanding population and booming job market. Intense summer heat would render the city unlivable - possibly deadly for infants and the elderly -- if it weren't for companies like Northwind offering climate control solutions to the city. The Refrigeration School, Inc. teaches students the HVAC cycle in detail, so that our technical school graduates of tomorrow can help to cool the ballparks, office parks, and housing communities of Phoenix, AZ.
