Educational Objectives:
- To
introduce students to the important systems and
applications of advanced HVAC for more detailed
study.
- To
enable students to design appropriate heating,
ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigerating
(HVAC&R) systems and evaluate their
characteristics and performance.
Learning Outcomes:
- To
describe the basic principles and characteristics of
HVAC systems and components.
- To
develop skills for design of HVAC&R systems and
evaluation of their characteristics and performance.
