HVAC Lessons Learned
What you'll learn
- Understanding HVAC functions
- What kind of equipment and instruments are required for each HVAC function
- The purpose of major instruments used for HVAC
- Lessons learned from the lecturer's actual experience for EPC projects in Middle East for the recent 10 years
- Basic concept of the trouble shooting for the HVAC system
- How to deal with HVAC commissioning
Requirements
- Basic understanding of the HVAC system
Description
I tried to put my experience for HVAC systems into this lecture. It includes my know-how I have earned while working as a HVAC engineer for EPC projects in Middle East for major oil refinery and petro-chemical companies since 2010.
I had lots of trouble when I stared work as a HVAC engineer in Qatar in 2010 since there was nobody who let me know about functions of the HVAC system. After finishing 4 EPC projects I get to understand about how to handle the HVAC projects.
I added 14 cases of failure I have encountered while working for EPC projects. After checking them and their solutions, I believe that you will get to know what the HVAC functions are and how to configure them. Furthermore, I hope you would get hints for finding the cause and solution easily and fast when you need to handle the HVAC system with problem.
We will discuss about the equipment and instrument to configure the below HVAC functions during the lecture.
· Heating
· Ventilating
· Air Conditioning
· Controlling Air Quality
· Preventing Fire & Smoke Spread
· Humidifying
· Energy Saving
· Noise Control
· Flow Control
· Pressurization
And I will explain the requirements for each HVAC function. For example, fire dampers shall get certified from UL to be used an EPC project. And if you have any query, please let me know through feedback or email.
Good luck.
