10 courses with the subject HEAT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
HEAT 1101HVAC Circuit Theory 2/2/04
This introductory course provides students with the knowledge of electrical theory including atomic structure, Ohm's Law, and electrical circuits as used in heating and cooling installations and appliances. Prerequisite(s):
This course covers sheet metal equipment, tools, materials, and layout procedures for the beginner to construct and install ductwork. Design fundamentals will be interpreted and installation procedures will be practiced in lab activities. Prerequisite(s): None
This course provides the student with an understanding of electromagnetism, sign wave principles, and resistive, inductive, capacitive and resonant circuits as related to the National Electrical Code. Prerequisite(s):
This course covers refrigeration theory of domestic refrigeration and introduction theory to commercial refrigeration and residential heating and air conditioning equipment, including controls and accessories. Prerequisite(s): None
This course provides students with a technical understanding of heating system design and installation. Topics include heat loss calculations, heating systems selection and design, installation techniques, testing procedures, and operation of heating systems. Prerequisite(s): None
In this course the dynamics of handling fluid masses of air will be studied. The focus will be on moving and replacing air at given velocities, quantities, and temperatures. Prerequisite(s): HEAT1104 2024—25 Northland Course Descriptions Page 103
This course will demonstrate the correct guidelines within which a heating system is most efficient and longest lived. Students will also learn and practice the service techniques necessary to correct routine deficiencies in operation. Customer services and satisfaction will be covered, including maintenance contracts. Prerequisite(s): HEAT1104
This course covers the operating principles and service procedures for commercial air conditioning systems. Students will perform common maintenance procedures, system operational tests, and will service components and system controls. Prerequisite(s): None
This course covers the design, installation and maintenance of hot water heating in residential and light commercial applications. Special emphasis is on the basic concepts involved in delivering maximum comfort to the customer. Various heat sources, calculations, heat loading, and engineering goals are provided with specific examples. The relationship between heat and heat flow with water temperature and flow requirements are demonstrated with various mathematical examples. Prerequisite(s): HEAT1128 or PLBG1110
