The design, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of a wide range of HVAC systems will be covered. This course starts with a quick review of psychrometry and representation and air conditioning processes on the psychrometric chart. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the basic subsystems of any HVAC system, comprehensive coverage of various systems, and guidelines for selecting the most suitable HVAC system for various applications. Finally, a discussion of the operation and maintenance of various subsystems and components is presented, followed by an outline of the measurements and instrumentation used in HVAC system troubleshooting.
After participating in this course, you will be able to:
- Apply and use psychrometry to understand the design and operation of various HVAC systems
- Recognize and understand the operation of a wide range of HVAC systems
- Select and identify the most suitable HVAC system for various practical applications
- Develop an outline of a complete HVAC system
