Fundamentals, Sizing, Selection & Operation of HVAC Systems



Introduction:


Mastering fundamentals, sizing, selection, & operation is a must for designers & operators of HVAC systems. This course covers the fundamentals of HVAC systems starting from Psychrometry & representation & calculations of air conditioning processes & cycles. Cooling & heating load calculations, design of air distribution systems, HVAC equipment & system selection, controls, energy conservation & economics of HVAC systems are all covered. The use of Carrier’s Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) in the design & sizing of HVAC Systems is demonstrated. Many useful rules of thumb to aid the beginning individual in the design & sizing of HVAC systems will be provided. The experienced individual will find them useful for a quick design & operation check. The course will feature:

 

  • Psychrometry
  • Air conditioning cycles
  • Space conditions – comfort
  • Cooling/heating load calculations
  • Design of air distribution system (duct design)
  • HVAC equipment and system selection
  • Rules of thumb (ROTs)
  • Controls, energy and costs
  • Design of water distribution systems

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Apply key fundamentals in the design and operation of HVAC systems
  • Perform air conditioning cycle, load, duct and hydronic piping design calculations
  • Select procedures for efficient operation of various HVAC equipment and systems
