HVAC Commissioning 2 - FAT / SAT
What you'll learn
- Definitions of FAT and SAT for HVAC Control System
- What kinds of tests to be done during FAT and SAT
- How to check I/O Points
- How to check Functions
- How to check HMI (Human Machine Interface)
- What is the general Control Panel (CP) Configuration
- How to check power cables in the control panel
- How to check painting of the control panel
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
