Course Description

This course is designed for engineers and other technical staff from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds. It will provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning HVAC) and refrigeration.

It commences with a review of psychometric charts and then examines the factors that influence design choices, indoor air quality, load calculations and heating/ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Numerous tips and tricks throughout the course make it very practical and topical to your applications.

Course Objectives

On completion of the course assessment the delegate will be able to:

  • Design, install, maintain and troubleshoot HVAC and refrigeration systems
  • Recognize and apply the psychrometic chart
  • Design for good air quality
  • Perform basic load calculations
  • Initiate an effective inspection and maintenance program
  • Minimize forced outages and prevent serious damage to HVAC equipment
  • Provide an overview of the legislative requirements plus the essential steps and responsibilities for the maintenance and repair of HVAC Systems

Who Should Attend?

This course provides a complete and up-to-date overview of HVAC & refrigeration systems for HVAC, utilities, maintenance, plant, operation and inspection engineers and other technical staff who are involved in the design, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of such equipment and system. Further, it is suitable for mechanical, design, electrical and consulting engineers. The course instructor may modify the above training methodology before or during the course for technical reasons with no prior notice to participants.
