Refrigeration is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC & R [...]

Cleanroom Classification A clean room is an environment, typically used in manufacturing or scientific research that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors. More accurately, a clean room has a controlled level of contamination that is specified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a specified particle size. Clean rooms can be very large. Entire manufacturing [...]
