About Us

The role of Computers & Electronics, Robots & Biotechnology, Precision Manufacturing and Nano-Materials cannot be undermined in modern industries. Many are hugely dependent on the precise maintenance of temperature and humidity. Sectors like healthcare need much more than medicines and equipment. Indoor air movement and quality in addition to optimum temperature and humidity are equally important. What they need is the right HVAC&R (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration) equipment.

The Centre of Excellence for HVAC&R at CGU is dedicated to:

• Educating an ever-increasing number of engineers and technicians in the latest technologies of HVAC&R
• Enabling innovation towards reducing the cost of cooling, warming, humidifying, dehumidifying and improving air quality

The Centre boasts three well-equipped modern laboratories housing teaching equipment from the best international vendors, covering not only thermodynamic processes, heat transfer equipment, compressors and controls, but also complete simulators of electrical systems of large R&AC plants.

The centre offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in HVAC&R, supports research and guides students to clear the ISHRAE-AEDC professional competence programme of the Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers. The Centre is proud of its culture where every individual – expert or novice – strives to attain his/her potential to make the world a better place to live for one and all.
