HVAC Equipment Design 12 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course provides basic knowledge about the HVAC distribution systems in design applications. The course provides insight to various systems, technologies and equipment configuration with advantages and disadvantages.

Successful HVAC systems are the key to successful buildings. In a central system, air can be conditioned in a remote location in the air-handling units and distributed to the various rooms by ductwork. Alternatively, the air can be conditioned directly in the indoor spaces through fan coil units or other terminal devices.

The design of air distribution system must combine a proper choice of engineered products efficiently providing conditioned air to the space while adding architectural features which complement the interior design. A good understanding of the various types of commercial HVAC systems is important to ensure the best fit.

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to HVAC engineers, facility engineers, architects, energy auditors, environmentalists, operations and maintenance personnel, as well as consultants and contractors who construct, build and manage facilities.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the HVAC design considerations for corrosive environments.

Many emerging HVAC markets have a majority of their populations located in coastal areas.  This leads to an increased number of air conditioning applications located in potentially corrosive environments. Environmental factors such as salt mist in sea side locations, add to the corrosive environments. It's not hard to see that HVAC equipment especially cooling and condenser coils are under threat of accelerated degradation. Corroded HVAC coils not only diminish the heat transfer but also increase the operational costs and the maintenance bills.  Prevention is much cheaper than replacing coils or the entire system.

Other than the HVAC equipment, the indoor space equipment is also susceptible to corrosive effects. Over time, even extremely low levels of Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) in the parts per billion can cause permanent damage to the sensitive electronic equipment, switchgear equipment, machinery and even the structural elements. Failure to protect your assets may have costly ramifications.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to HVAC engineers, controls engineers, architects, contractors, environmentalists and loss prevention professionals who are interested in gaining an understanding in designing HVAC system in corrosive environments.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of VRF system technology. Emphasis is placed on the control principles, terminology, basic components, advantages and design limitations.

In recent years air conditioning systems have significantly changed. Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) also known as variable refrigerant volume (VRV) is a commercial HVAC system that can be configured to utilize a single condensing unit with multiple indoor evaporator units. The arrangement provides an individualized comfort control by varying the flow of refrigerant to each evaporator unit using sophisticated electronic expansion valve and inverter controlled variable speed compressor.

The system delivers excellent part-load performance and simultaneous heating and cooling in different zones. Unfortunately, the design of VRF systems is more complicated and requires additional work compared to designing a conventional air conditioning system.

This 3 PDH online course is aimed at the personnel who have some limited background in the air conditioning field and is suitable for mechanical, electrical, controls and HVAC engineers, architects, building designers, contractors, estimators, energy auditors and facility managers.
