Rate is the quantity of something measured against something else. For refrigeration, the “something else” will always be a unit of time. When length is measured against time, the result is a speed or velocity measurement. Examples include miles per hour and feet per minute. When volume is measured against time, the result is a […]
Volume is the amount of space that something occupies and is calculated by multiplying the area of an object by its height. Since it is a cubic measurement, the units used to measure volume are often cubed. Examples include inches cubed, feet cubed, and meters cubed. Other common volume units are gallons and liters, which […]
The area is the number of square units that can fit within a two-dimensional, or flat, space. To find the area of a two-dimensional square or rectangular surface, one must first measure the length of each side. Once those measurements are obtained, the formula A=LxW will calculate the area of the surface. Example: If a […]
To be a competent refrigeration professional, one must conquer the daunting challenge of mathematics. Whether assessing the volume of a vessel or performing a load calculation, mathematical aptitude is a necessary skill to possess. The length or width of an object is a linear measurement. Length is always measured as a straight-line distance between two […]
