ENGI-1086Air Conditioning/HVAC
In this introductory course students will learn various aspects of refrigeration and air conditioning systems, their associated components, (e.g., compression systems, heat exchangers, metering devices, capacity and cycle controls, accessories, pumps, coil types), and different systems operations, (e.g., absorption refrigeration, heat recovery, fan, duct, and air conditioning systems). Using thermodynamics of refrigeration, students will perform relevant calculations to gage heat gains/losses. They will study different types of refrigerants, as well as refrigeration and air conditioning systems pre-start-up procedures, refrigeration plant operation and maintenance. There are six lecture hours per week with a credit hour rating of six.
