Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

Theory and relevant lab exercises reviewing hydronic and forced air systems including component parts, temperature, and ambient controls.

The combination of theory and lab exercises will review the required additional components not normally found in A/C Systems. Additionally, the various types of refrigeration Systems are taught with reference to specific applications.

The content of the course will provide a student, with no prior background, an introduction to the HVACR field. In addition, the student will gain a basic understanding of the principles and theory, safety and regulatory codes of electricity as it applies to the HVACR industry, along with a basic understanding of the basic components

Preparation for E.P.A. certification begins in the first week of the course. Through a combination of theory and lab exercises the material covered will include airflow requirements, indoor air quality, duct design, load calculation, and sheet metal fabrication. The student will also be prepared to take the Industry Competency Exam (I.C.E.).

This course is an introduction to refrigeration Systems and the refrigeration process. Providing the student with instruction on refrigerants and hermetically sealed compressors.

Theory and relevant lab exercises reviewing the major components of the Air Conditioning. Component parts include: condenser, compressor, accumulator, suction line, evaporator, metering devices, receivers, and condensate and liquid lines.

Theory and relevant lab exercises in the areas of gas, electric, oil heating Systems. Principles of combustion, combustion efficiency, troubleshooting and servicing of electrical and mechanical Systems are stressed.

Theory and relevant lab exercises reviewing the major components of the Heat Pump Systems. Component parts include: condenser, compressor, accumulator, suction line, evaporator, metering devices, receivers, and condensate and liquid lines.
