Introduction16:02
We will discuss about the definition of FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) during this session. And we will check important concepts such as project members, typical payment milestone for Vendor, typical punch items, agenda for the rest sessions and so on.
2nd_AHU, ACCU & CP Appearance11:59
We will check the FAT for AHU (Air Handling Unit), ACCU (Air Cooled Condensing Unit) and CP (Control Panel) appearance in this session.
3rd_CP Painting6:19
For the industrial solution, the painting is critical check point. We will discuss about how to check the CP (Control Panel) painting in this session.
4th_CP Configuration9:57
We will check what kinds of things we need to check for the CP (Control Panel) physical arrangement in this session.
5th_CP Power Cable10:19
In this session, we will discuss about how / what to check for the power cables in the CP (Control Panel). We should check them thoroughly before switch on the CP to prevent any damage for the CP components.
6th_CP Power On9:23
In this session, we will discuss how to power on for the CP (Control Panel). Before it, we should confirm if each power cable has a problem or not.
7th_I/O Point Check14:53
We need to check Input and Output (I/O) points before checking program/logic/algorithm of the control system. In this session, we will discuss what kinds of materials we need for it and how to check it according to the point type such as DI (Digital Input), DO (Digital Output), AI (Analog Input) and AO (Analog Output).
8th_Function test19:46
For the automatic control system, the automatic logic/program/algorithm is the most important thing to be checked. In this session, we will discuss what kinds of functions HVAC control systems shall have. And, of course, we will check how to check them.
9th_SAT13:12
In this session, we will discuss what is SAT (Site Acceptance Test) and how to do it. Furthermore, what kinds of following steps we need to do after it.

Requirements

The basic understand of HVAC system

Description

Commissioning is one of the critical procedures for the project. It is not easy to understand because it depends on the project and end-user standards. For example, I did the performance test for the HVAC system when I worked for an EPC project in Qatar. But I didn’t do it when I handled an EPC project in UAE.

Furthermore, it is difficult for engineers who have majored mechanical engineering in their colleges to deal with automatic control systems. Generally speaking, a control panel (CP) has lots of components to check during the FAT or SAT.

These are the main reasons for me to desire to make this course. I will show you the typical FAT and SAT for the HVAC industrial projects. If you need to deal with a FAT or SAT for the HVAC projects, you can understand about it with this course. You can use this course according to the situation since I put activities as many as possible into this course to contain as much as information.

We will discuss about the below activities.

· Introduction

· AHU, ACCU & CP Appearance

· CP Painting

· CP Configuration

· CP Power Cable

· CP Power On

· I/O Point Check

· Function Test

· SAT

From this course, you will get ideas about what kinds of activities shall be done during the FAT or SAT. For your information, I have made this course according to my experiences I got while working for 4 EPC projects in Middle East.

I hope you would understand about the HVAC more with this course.

Good luck.

Who this course is for:

Students who want to work in the industrial or commercial construction field
Beginner level engineer in the HVAC construction and engineering company
HVAC engineer working for the vendor, contractor or end-user side,
Inspectors who want to understand what kinds of tests to be done during the HVAC FAT and SAT
Engineers who need to attend FAT or SAT but have majored mechanical engineering in their colleges
