Training content
This course is structured as follows:
Day One:
HVAC system problems can be divided into three major categories - Air Distribution, Electrical or Mechanical. The part that causes most service problems is the electrical portion and most of that can be traced back to control problems. So day one of this Electrical Controls & Air Distribution seminar concentrates on overcoming the most common service problems encountered in HVAC systems by teaching students to understand, troubleshoot and test HVAC electrical controls. As such day 1 guides participants through the following topics:
Basic Electricity
- Basic electricity & Ohm’s Law
- Meters & tools for taking electrical measurements
- Electrical circuits: series & parallel
Control Circuits
- Schematics
- Ladder Diagrams
- Developing Wiring Diagrams
Controls
- Overloads
- Relays
- Contactors
- Control Transformer
- Starting Relay
- Defrost Timer
- Thermostat
- High Pressure Control
- Low Pressure Control
- Oil Pressure Control
Troubleshooting
- General Troubleshooting Techniques
- Common Problem Areas
- Commercial Air Conditioning
- Heat Pump Control
- Pump Down Cycle
Day Two:
Many common problems found in HVAC systems are relatively easy to correct, but are often overlooked. These problems are not electrically related at all even though many times we can get tricked into thinking they are. Yet a non-electrical problem can be as frustrating to find and fix as an electrical one, and may be even more discomforting to the people who have to live with it. So in day two of this Electrical Controls & Air Distribution training program students will be given instructions on how to eliminate the complaints of "too hot", "too cold", "not enough air" or "I feel a draft", by concentrating on the most often overlooked and ignored problems in HVAC systems – the "V" in "HVAC" – or ventilation, air distribution and air balancing! Day 2 topics are as follows:
Determining and Improving Air Flow
- 400 cfm per ton
- How many square feet per ton?
- Air mixture at the cooling coil
Exhaust Air
- Positive pressure
- Negative pressure
Make-Up Air
- Positive pressure
- Negative pressure
- Conditioning the “make up” air
Troubleshooting the Air Distribution System
- Temperature difference across the coil
- Balance in the system
- Short cycling
- Duct sizing
- Noise
- How to use a Ductulator
Costs
The cost of this HVAC Electrical Controls and Air Distribution training course is $1,195.
