Fundamentals of HVAC Systems



Introduction:


Fundamentals of HVAC Systems is a thorough introduction on how HVAC systems control temperature, air quality and air circulation in a conditioned space. Mastering fundamentals and operation principles of HVAC systems is a must for designers and operators of such systems.  This course covers fundamentals of HVAC systems starting from psychometric calculations to design of air conditioning cycles. Load calculations, distribution, system selection, control, and energy conservation of HVAC systems are all covered in this course. Topics are introduced to individuals who have no or little background on the subject while also providing a valuable information resource to personnel having experience with HVAC systems. This course is ideal for recent engineering graduates working in the HVAC&R industry, experienced engineers entering HVAC&R from another engineering area, as well as architects, technicians, construction or building management professionals who need to increase their knowledge of HVAC systems. The course will feature:

 

  • Knowledge of HVAC load estimating concepts
  • The ability to relate load estimates to equipment sizing and systems design
  • A practical understanding of the theory dictating the design and control of HVAC systems
  • Information on the energy conservation aspects of HVAC systems

Course Objectives:


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

 

  • Understand key thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer fundamentals and their practical application in the design and operation of HVAC systems
  • Learn systematic procedures for cycle and load calculations
  • Gain insight into determination of opportunities of energy conservation and selection of appropriate types of control for the application of interest
