Air Conditioning Systems

Course No. M-4020

Credit: 4 PDH

Course Fee: $115.80 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: A. Bhatia, Mechanical Engineer

 

Overview

Most people think the air conditioning system's job is just to add "cold" air to the space. Actually air-conditioning is a process by which air is cooled and dehumidified by mechanical means. In a broader sense, air conditioning includes both the cooling and heating of air, cleaning it and controlling its moisture level, and conditioning it to provide maximum indoor comfort. Engineers define the process as one in which a system of mechanical components - usually a compressor, a fan, condenser coil, evaporator coil and a chemical refrigerant - extract heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor air to be re-circulated. The cleaning function of air conditioners is performed by filters.

Diverse geographical and operating conditions require considerably different types of air conditioning systems. The intended use of the conditioned space is the primary factor in determining the desired controlled environment and accomplishing the specific purpose by special equipment arrangement. Comfort applications in general aim to provide an indoor environment that remains relatively constant in a range preferred by humans despite changes in external weather conditions or internal heat loads.

This 4-hour course introduces the basics of air conditioning systems found in residential and small to medium commercial and industrial facilities. This course is entirely based on US Navy manual - Utilitiesman Basic, Volume 2: NAVEDTRA 14279, Chapter 7 - “Air Conditioning”.

The reader must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
