This session covers the science and application of airflow principles to the efficient operation of HVAC equipment. Many of the residential systems in California suffer from the inefficiencies caused by high static pressure. Included in this training is a hands-on portion designed to compare various filters, fittings and layout issues that cause high static pressures.
The course covers Basic concepts of duct design. Covers air flow dynamics and static pressures within the systems, defines and explains EL, friction rate, location, throw and spread of grilles, registers and diffusers. Includes a Software portion for Wrightsoft and will include Elite. The information covers efficiencies relating to design, installation as well concepts focusing on delivered efficiencies, operating points, fan and duct curves.
Description:
This full day training class is designed to introduce HVAC Contractors, General building Contractors, and Mechanical Engineers to the process of sizing, designing and installing small Commercial HVAC package unit systems. This class includes three specific components: 1. Classroom instruction of the building science affecting equipment capacity and building loads. 2. Hands on training in the use of Wrightsoft™ to size small commercial loads. 3. Classroom instruction on the proper sizing procedures in ACCA Manual CS, and California Title 24 Ventilation Regulations.
Description:
This full day training class is designed to introduce HVAC Contractors, General building Contractors, and Mechanical Engineers to the process of sizing, designing and installing small Commercial HVAC Systems. The training class includes two specific components. 1. Review of all objectives and priciples covered in the first two courses of this series. 2. Hands on software exercises guided by the instructor to verify students can properly design an HVAC package unit system for quality installation, as well as properly design the duct system.
