1.00 Credits
3 lab hrs, 1 cr A laboratory course in which students receive experience in installing, operating and maintaining refrigeration equipment. They learn methods of joining piping and tubing; compressor assembly and disassembly; use of analog and digital temperature and pressure instrumentation; and procedures for recovery, evacuation and charging of refrigeration systems under EPA guidelines. The final project requires students to work as team members to assemble, wire and install a complete refrigeration system. Individual reports are required for each laboratory exercise. Pre- or corequisite: ENVC 2312/ EC 312
-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 3 cr A lecture course that covers refrigeration theory, applications, equipment and systems. Students learn the properties of various refrigerants, temperature-pressure relationships of saturated vapors, compression refrigeration and heat pump cycles, operating principles of compressors, characteristics of evaporators and condensers, refrigerant flow control devices, applications of pressure-enthalpy diagrams of refrigerants, cooling tower theory and operation, selection and matching of refrigeration system components, and the operation and uses of absorption refrigeration systems. Prerequisite: ENVC 1110/EC 110

1.00 Credits
3 lab hrs, 1 cr A laboratory course that teaches methods to evaluate the performance of air handling and air conditioning systems. Students learn how to use a sling psychrometer, balometer, pitot tube and draft gauge, Alnor Velometer, anemometers, computer data loggers and sound level meters. They are introduced to operating, testing and calibrating procedures for HVAC system pneumatic controls. Students will work with different types of air conditioning equipment, from residential and small commercial split and packaged air conditioning and heat pump systems, to a larger chilled water system, which uses a cooling tower and chilled water distribution to separate air handlers. Students write individual laboratory reports on the performance testing of ducts, diffusers, controls and air conditioning systems.

-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 3 cr A lecture course that teaches psychrometrics and cooling load calculation methodologies. Students learn to use psychrometric charts to determine the properties of air at various conditions, and the sensible and latent energy changes required to maintain specified comfort levels in occupied spaces. They also learn to calculate cooling loads, using both computerized modeling software and manual methods in accordance with accepted industry practices. Prerequisite: ENVC 1110/EC 110
-
3.00 Credits
2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr A computerized drafting and design course that teaches the procedures used in designing, analyzing and laying out air handling systems. Students learn to perform the calculations and analyses necessary to size ducts and accessories, determine pressure drops, lay out mechanical equipment rooms, specify fans and select diffusers and registers. They utilize AutoCad Computer-Aided Design and Drafting software to complete their drawing and design projects. Prerequisites: ENVC 1110/EC 110, ENVC 1120/EC 120; pre- or corequisite: ENVC 2322/EC 322
