HVAC Equipment Maintenance & Testing

Upon completion of this course, participants will have a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of Mechanical installations techniques. Participants will have in-depth knowledge of HVAC, Elevators, Fire fighting and fire alarm systems, Pumps, Drainage system, Heating system , isolation materials inside the buildings, equipment selection, proper operation, trouble shooting through presentation of actual case studies.
Participants will divide into two or three groups and each group will receive a project and at the end of this course, each group will present their project design.

• To teach participants the basic principles of HVAC
• To provide participants with an understanding of the Vapour Compression Refrigeration Cycle
• To explain the purpose of the most common system components
• To provide a thorough explanation of Air Handling units and the processes taking place
• To give participants an understanding of heat pump systems and components
• To provide the knowledge necessary for participants to make a logical selection of equipment
• To provide participants with the knowledge necessary to maintain a variety of types of air conditioning plant and to be able to make correct fault diagnosis and effect repairs
• Provide participants with the ability to confidently deal with outside air-conditioning contractors.
• To ensure that participants are able to witness system commissioning, testing and maintenance
