The TU-100 basic refrigeration trainer demonstrates domestic refrigerator and freezers, self-contained air conditioning units and reverse cycle or heat pump systems. With this popular training unit, HVAC/R teachers will be able to give their students hands-on experience before they go out on a job site. Plus, they’re able to familiarize themselves with name brands they might see out in the field.
