3.00 Credits
Students discover how various types of controls work and how they are applied in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. In particular, they examine bimetallic, liquid-filled, vapor-filled, thermocouple, and thermister controls. In addition, students experiment with the operation of temperature controls, pressure controls, hydronic relief valves, and transducers to include accurate adjustments. Finally, students troubleshoot and repair control systems using electrical test equipment such as voltmeters, ammeters, and ohmmeters. Prerequisites: Completion of HVAC 1630 and HVAC 1650 or instructor approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Students leak check, evacuate, recover refrigerant from, and charge residential and light commercial air conditioning systems. Students open and seal refrigeration systems using brazing and soldering techniques and also examine Core, Type I, Type II, and Type III system characteristics as they prepare to take the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Refrigerant Handling Certification exams. Prerequisite: Completion of IST 1710, IST 1711, IST 1712, IST 1713, HVAC 1600, and HVAC 1610, or instructor approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Students examine the primary concepts of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). They also investigate the hazards of improper IAQ and methods to mitigate those hazards to include ventilation, humidification, and dehumidification of living spaces. Students examine air distribution systems and use test equipment to measure pressure and flow as part of system balancing. Prerequisites: Completion of HVAC 1610 and HVAC 1650 or instructor approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Students identify various supermarket refrigeration units for analyzing the selection and installation placement procedures for the equipment. They predict how different refrigerant system installation methods could affect a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. In addition, students examine the unique operation quality control aspects of commercial ice production before operating, maintaining, and repairing commercial ice machines. They evaluate and troubleshoot the operation of several styles of commercial refrigeration systems. Prerequisites: Completion of HVAC 1620, HVAC 1630, HVAC 1640, and HVAC 1660 or instructor approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Students examine the operation, maintenance, and repair of commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. They discover how the components of a heat pump work to provide heating or cooling. Finally, students identify the different types of geothermal loops that are used in regions of the country as well as the unique maintenance and repair requirements for each type of loop. Prerequisites: Completion of HVAC 1620, HVAC 1640, and HVAC 1650 or instructor approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Students analyze operating conditions, compare results to the manufacturer's data, and predict potential effects to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment. They interpret a system's sequence of operation, gather customer information, and use test equipment to troubleshoot mechanical and electrical faults. Students perform residential load and duct-sizing calculations. They also practice customer service techniques. Prerequisites: Completion of HVAC 1620, HVAC 1640, and HVAC 1650 or instructor approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Building Automation Systems (BAS) Fundamentals is an introduction to the BAS industry. Students study the history of BAS, identify manufacturers and contractors, and study industry scope and trends as they explore careers in BAS. Students are introduced to types of BAS systems as well as BAS architecture.
-
3.00 Credits
Building Automation Systems (BAS) Devices introduces students to the major types of components found in BAS systems. Students learn how to properly select and apply BAS systems components in the field. Topics include input/output wiring, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, safety circuits, actuator devices for dampers and control valves, power supplies, transducers, relays, motor controls, power supplies, enclosures and power monitoring devices.
-
3.00 Credits
Building Automation Systems (BAS) Networking introduces the fundamentals of data transmission. The course is closely aligned with Cisco Systems Certification and assists students in their preparation for that credential. Topics covered are network fundamentals, standard, OSI model, IP protocol, network signal transmission, media, protocols, physical topologies, hardware, typical BAS networks and typical BAS subnetworks.
