Virginia Mechanical 16 PDH Discount Package 2

This online engineering PDH course presents the fundamentals of Heat Transfer which is the study of thermal energy in transit due to temperature difference. Heat Transfer is a basic branch in thermal sciences which explains how heat is transferred by conduction, convection and thermal radiation. This course also explains how specific parameters can affect the rate of heat transfer.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and chemical engineers, nuclear facility operators, maintenance personnel, and other technical staff who are interested in understanding the mechanics of heat transfer.

This online engineering PDH course explains the operation of centrifugal and positive displacement pumps. In general a pump is a mechanical device that is used to raise the flow of a fluid from one elevation to the other by increasing the pressure of the fluid.

Centrifugal pumps use a centripetal force, which is defined as the action that causes the fluid to move away from its center of rotation. Where as positive displacement pumps physically entrap a quantity of liquid at the suction of the pump and push that quantity out the discharge of the pump.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, plant operators, maintenance personnel, and technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding centrifugal and displacement pump design and operation.

This online engineering course provides necessary information to understand the principles and theory of refrigeration, the components of mechanical refrigeration systems, and the types of refrigerants and associated equipment. This course also discusses the methods used for installing, maintaining, and repairing refrigeration equipment, including domestic refrigerators and freezers.

Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an area or a substance. It is usually done by an artificial means of lowering the temperature, such as by the use of ice or mechanical refrigeration, which is a mechanical system or apparatus, designed and constructed to transfer heat from one substance to another.

This online engineering PDH course presents a brief overview of under floor air distribution (UFAD) systems which are raised floor systems within which plenums are used to deliver conditioned air to the space through floor grills. This course also describes the costs associated with installing UFAD systems.

Recent trends in today's office environment make it increasingly more difficult for conventional centralized HVAC systems to satisfy the environmental preferences of individual office workers using the standardized approach of providing a single uniform thermal and ventilation environment.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, designers, contractors, building professionals, and all personnel interested in gaining a better understating of UFAD systems.

This online engineering PDH course provides a basic understanding of cooling towers, describes their key components and provides recommendations on how to improve the water efficiency.

Cooling towers are an integral component of many refrigeration systems, providing comfort or process cooling across a broad range of applications. They are the point in the system where heat is dissipated to the atmosphere through the evaporative process, and are common in industries such as oil refining, chemical process­ing, power plants, steel mills, and many different manufacturing processes where process cooling is required.
