Overview
This course is designed to be a practical refresher course and reminder of psychrometrics for engineers that already have a basic knowledge in the area of HVAC.
The beginning of this course briefly covers the basic concepts that are essential to understand the properties and conditions of the air. After these concepts, this course covers the mass and energy conservation equations of the first law of thermodynamics that are essential in the understanding of HVAC applications. Examples are included to illustrate the use and calculation of the air properties.
The following section covers the benefits and use of a typical psychrometric chart. Additional illustrations and applications of psychrometrics and HVAC problems are included. The solutions to these problems are developed using the mass and energy conservation equations and the psychrometric chart. Typical HVAC problems and examples are covered in this section.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-one (21) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
As a bonus for the student, a link to a psychrometric calculator (in an Excel File) is provided in the course quiz. This calculator, which is included in the course purchase price, is a handy tool that will save you time when performing HVAC calculations.
