HVAC 214 - Applied Design PROGRAM: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3 LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2 LAB HOURS MIN: 2 DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019
Provides students with the opportunity to design and lay out complete HVAC systems.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Demonstrate safe practices and procedures.
- Demonstrate HVAC drafting skills [mechanical and/or CAD].
- Employ appropriate HVAC symbols in drafting work and shop drawings.
- Outline airflow principles including relating CFM of air flow to external static pressure.
- Given heat loss and gain data on a structure, determine CFM of airflow requirements for each room in the building.
- Design a duct system including duct size, return air grille selection, and supply register selection that will deliver the required CFM per room.
- Lay out piping systems — fuel, condensate, refrigeration, and hot/chilled water.
- Describe the types of supply and return duct systems covered in this course.
- Draw [using either CAD or drafting tools] complete duct system.
- Create HVAC detailed drawings of specific system components.
- Lay out a complete hydronic system.
- Design and layout ventilation systems.
- Describe air handling units and how to represent them in a working drawing.
- Describe heat recovery ventilation systems and to represent them in a working drawing.
- List recommended foot per minute air velocities for return, main and branch ducts for different types of structures.
- Apply appropriate HVAC codes.
