Course Description
Covers refrigeration loads, equipment selection, piping and installation procedures. Focuses on calculating loads for walk-in units, sizing condensing units, and evaporative coils. Includes use of catalogs to locate and properly select components, for design and troubleshooting new and existing applications. Prerequisites: FMT 103 or APR 133 or TE 9244. Audit available.Addendum to Course Description
This course is designed to increase the installer/serviceman's knowledge of compressors and system components. The course deals specifically with each component and its application in a HVAC/Refrigeration system. This course continues to develop the serviceman's ability to install, service, repair, and replace specific system components relative to system application.
Intended Outcomes for the course
- Illustrate compressor design and application relative to system capacity.
- Utilize the manufacturers specification sheets to properly balance equipment selection.
- Explain why new design criteria is being applied and how efficiencies are attained.
- Illustrate the may areas of observational checks that must be administered to perform maintenance programs.
- Illustrate component effect on the system performance and operation.
- Discuss data with regard to application, selection, and servicing expansion valves.
- Give an overview of the system diagnosis when operating is sufficient or verification of performance is desired.
- Illustrate the reasons for accurate system evacuation. Also to demonstrate tools for measuring accuracy.
- Illustrate step-by-step procedure to properly clean system using minimum time and labor for maximum effectiveness.
- Stress safety control circuits. Also to describe cycling control importance.
