COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the following practical methods: 

 

(1) Industrial Facility Visit: Course participants will be taken to an industrial facility where they will practice testing, maintenance and troubleshooting. In case that this course is organized inside client premises (In-House), then client shall provide access to its HVAC and refrigeration workshop for practical sessions. 

 

(2) HVAC Simulator: Participants will use in the class the state-of-the-art HVAC Simulator to practice some of the skills learnt. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of commissioning of HVAC system or heat load calculation. It covers the HVAC basics, HVAC codes and standards and HVAC&R abbreviations; the air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration; the basic principles of HVAC&R covering air properties, dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, dew point, humidity ratio and relative humidity; the psychrometric chart; the sensible and latent heat, design conditions, air purification methods and air motion; and comfortable velocity ranges, heat gain from occupants, moisture removal and design conditions. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the HVAC systems comprising of air systems and water systems as well as the HVAC design criteria; the calculation of the load components, sensible load, latent load, load categories, skin load, internal loads, people load, light load, equipment load, room load, effective load and other loads; the types of air conditioning units/systems; the load calculations using HAP software as well as cooling/heating load calculations and HVAC systems commissioning; and the HVAC inspection, performance calculations and troubleshooting analysis according to ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA 180-2012 standard.
