Learn the components of an air handling unit, including fan, cooling and heating coils, filters, dampers, humidifier and dehumidifier, heat recovery, mixing box, control system, silencer, and drain pan.
Learn AHU sizing and selection through steps: load and airflow calculations, coil capacity, fan and filter selection, humidity control, and space and energy efficiency considerations.
Size and select a TFA unit by calculating fresh air using Ashrae 62.1, then compute sensible and latent cooling loads and choose coils, fans, and filters.
Size the coil by converting heat-load data into rows, face area, and total cfm, using dry-bulb temps, fresh air, effective sensible heat factor, bypass factor, and log mean temperature difference.
Master how smoke management systems control and purge fire smoke, protect occupants, and aid firefighting through positive and negative pressure, stairwell pressurization, and smoke extraction.
