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