Mastering the fundamentals, sizing, selection, and operation is essential for both designers and operators of HVAC systems. This comprehensive course delves into the core principles of HVAC systems, commencing with Psychrometry and proceeding to the representation and calculations of air conditioning processes and cycles.
Participants will learn cooling and heating load calculations, the design of air distribution systems, HVAC equipment and system selection, controls, energy conservation, and the economics of HVAC systems. Additionally, the course demonstrates the utilization of Carrier's Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) for the design and sizing of HVAC Systems.
Attendees will benefit from numerous practical rules of thumb, aiding beginners in system design and sizing, while offering experienced professionals valuable insights for quick design and operational checks.
"My new job portfolio included HVAC. I wanted a basic understanding of how HVAC works. Most useful: rules of thumb, equipment selection, and A/C control strategies."
"The instructor presented content at a good pace with many exercises. Very interactive with the class."
"Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, with the relevant industry experience. The ability to communicate the ideas was greatly appreciated."
