e-Learning PPSM

This course provides an in-depth exploration of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems, emphasizing both theoretical and practical aspects crucial for modern engineering applications. Students will begin with an introduction to HVACR, covering the fundamental principles and components. The course will then delve into refrigeration cycles, with a focus on vapour-compression systems and their thermodynamic analysis. A comprehensive examination of refrigerants and their environmental impact, including next-generation alternatives, will follow. Air conditioning systems and their processes will be thoroughly analyzed using psychrometric principles. Building load estimation based on ASHRAE standards will equip students with the skills to perform accurate calculations. The curriculum will also address thermal comfort and indoor air quality, highlighting methods to ensure optimal living and working environments. Finally, the course will cover air distribution systems, including duct design and sizing, using principles of fluid mechanics and the latest industry techniques. This course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to design, analyze, and optimize advanced HVACR systems, preparing them for the demands of the modern engineering landscape.
