Description
Carriers’ Technical Development Program is a review of basic engineering principals and system applications in the HVAC industry. The topics to be covered include: Rooftop Units Level I – Constant Volume, Rooftop Units Level II – VAV Rooftops, Commercial Split Systems, Central Station Air Handlers, Air Cooled Chillers, Water Cooled Chillers, Psychrometrics, Load Estimating, Duct Design, Water Piping Design, Refrigeration Piping Design, and Refrigeration Cycle.
- Be able to plot two points on the psychrometric chart and determine the other three characteristics of the air at those conditions.
- Determine the mixed air conditions of a cooling coil from indoor conditions and required OA volumes at design conditions.
- Understand the air treatment process flows on the psychometric chart (heating cooling, humidification, dehumidification).
- Understand the difference between relative humidity and specific humidity.
- Select and use the correct psychrometric chart for altitude.
- Understand how to determine the sensible capacity, latent capacity and total capacity of a heating/cooling process.
- How to calculate the leaving air temperature of an evaporative cooler (and capacity based on CFM).
- Understand what a cooling coil bypass factor is and how it is calculated.
