Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Electric refrigeration machine design engineers design electrical circuits and control systems for refrigeration machines, specializing in improving performance, safety, and energy efficiency.
Description
Electric refrigeration machine design engineers design electrical circuits and control systems used in refrigeration machines such as commercial freezers, air conditioning equipment, and industrial refrigeration plants. Specifically, they apply principles of thermodynamics and control engineering to build control logic combining PLCs, sensors, inverters, and more. They create electrical wiring diagrams and component layout drawings using CAD software, and conduct performance evaluation and adjustments using test equipment. Handling of fluorocarbons, electrical safety, and compliance with environmental regulations are required. Depending on the project, they collaborate with mechanical design engineers, manufacturing departments, and customers, handling tasks from control software implementation and debugging to on-site trial operations.
Future Outlook
Demand for advanced control design engineers in electric refrigeration machines is expected to increase due to improvements in energy efficiency, stricter environmental regulations, and the advancement of IoT.
