COURSE DESCRIPTION:
| ET
4815 Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems
3 cr. hrs Pre-requisite: ET 3810 - Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
Course Description: The Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning
(HVAC) Systems course deals with the design and operation of heat
and mass transfer systems which produce the needed environments
for manufacturing operations, industrial processes and human comfort.
Systems which utilize mechanical equipment such as pumps, blowers,
fans, compressors and heat exchanges which are found in fields
as diverse as air conditioning, low temperature metallurgy, food
preservation, chemical processing and industrial manufacturing
will be covered. Lecture/Lab |
4.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
|
a. The students
will understand the application of basic thermodynamics, fluid
mechanics and heat transfer in sizing HVAC systems and estimating
their operating costs.
b. The students
will perform HVAC load and energy calculation procedures that
are consistent with current accepted industry standards.
c. The students
will be familiar with many of the system types and the various
aspects of engineering design of HVAC systems used for acceptable
environmental conditions in buildings.
d. The students
will be capable of presenting to their peers the results of
an independent study in a particular area of HVAC systems.
