Introduction
HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning) is a science and professionalism known by a good population in this world but knowing and justifying the reason for the proper decisions and selections are great additions to any organization, company, facility, building, production, operation, maintenance and other departments. This PetroKnowledge training course is planned to define the proper route for HVAC design, operation, and maintenance.
“Comfort conditions” are the golden words used by HVAC professionalism; these golden words need to be more specified, more customized, and accurately applied to reach customer satisfaction. This PetroKnowledge training course introduces the standards which lead the definitions of the main parameters, requirements, limitations. By knowing where we are in this world; and what the atmospheric conditions are; and what the project conditions are, we can reach the expected end results and deliverables.
This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:
-
HVAC Design concepts
-
Chilled Water System Piping
-
Heat Transfer and Selecting the proper Air Cooling System
-
HVAC Operation modes
-
HVAC Maintenance requirements
What are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:
- Understand the HVAC design as materials and equipment
- Analyze the alternatives and select the best one
- Determine the proper AC Units
- Understand the operation modes
- Develop the maintenance tasks from the available manuals
Who is this Training Course for?
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- HVAC Engineers
- HVAC Consultants
- HVAC Contractors
- End Users Engineers
Improving the operation and maintenance staff performance which will lead to a budget reduction by:
- Reducing the amount of improper operation
- Reducing the improper maintenance
- Increasing the end user’s satisfaction
- Reducing the Mean Time to Perform Maintenance
- Increasing the Mean Time Between Maintenance
- Reduce Initial and Running costs and Increase the HVAC systems
