HVAC 123OSHA Electrical and Construction Safety1
This course is designed to meet the requirements that all service technicians must have for training in the rules and regulations of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Safety and Building Maintenance Electrical Safety. Emphasis is on the requirements for compliance, identifying a proper lock-out/tag-out policy, and procedures a technician should follow for safe electrical work.
This course is designed to provide the basic knowledge of electrical theory and application as it pertains to the HVACR industry. The course will emphasize the basic electrical laws and definitions, generation and distribution of electrical power, and the functions of electrical controls and loads, including electrical measurements and testing. Further emphasis is placed on the application of electrical theory as it pertains to the HVACR industry. Wiring diagrams and schematics will be developed and used to wire basic electrical components including testing and troubleshooting electrical circuits.
Practical experience is provided to apply the theory learned concerning electrical components and controls of the HVACR industry. Students demonstrate the proper electrical installations for basic A/C and heating equipment. Emphasis is placed on the installation, testing and start-up operation of motors, relays, thermostats, pressure switches, and other basic controls.
This course introduces the basic methods, tools, and materials needed for the installation of the HVACR equipment to students. A foundational study of the purpose of various tools and skills necessary for their safe use is emphasized. Materials and joining methods of various piping, tubing, wiring, and ductwork systems as used in this industry is studied.
This course provides the practical hands-on skill training. Piping practice utilizes various refrigeration trainers and a selection of commonly used A/C and heating equipment. Residential duct systems are installed on working systems. Practice is provided for the development of skills needed for various methods of joining copper tubing, stainless steel natural-gas tubing, plastic, and iron pipe.
This course provides a study of the basic principles of thermodynamics as applied to the refrigeration cycle. The Mollier diagram is used to display the purpose and operation of the various components used in the system at expected standard operating conditions. The lab portion provides practice in measuring various system performances.
This course provides a basic understanding of different types of oil and natural gas residential heating systems. Emphasis is on proper installation, sequence of operation, and proper maintenance requirements.
This lab time provides the hands-on training pertaining to residential heating systems. Typical residential heating systems is utilized in the lab experience to master the skills necessary for proper installation and service. Students practice typical annual servicing, combustion analysis, and efficiency testing of fossil fuel heating systems.
Introduction to residential and light commercial A/C system components. This course details the following components of air conditioner and refrigeration systems: Evaporators, condensers, metering devices, compressors, and other safety and servicing system components. Emphasis is placed on applying the knowledge gained in HVAC 150, along with manufacturer specifications, to determine proper installation and operating conditions of these cooling system components.
This lab provides the hands-on training for skills necessary to properly install and start-up comfort cooling systems. Students are required to assemble a refrigeration system and test it for proper operation under various conditions. Page 209 of 287
This course is designed to give students the knowledge to understand the laws on venting and handling of the various refrigerants covered in the Clean Air Act–Section 608. A requirement for this course is to take the EPA Technician Certification Exam provided by ARI. Lab practice is provided in refrigerant recovery, recycling, evacuation, and charging various small appliances and high pressure appliances.
This course introduces HVACR students to the current International Code Council (ICC) codes. The emphasis highlights the sections of these codes that are relevant to the technician for proper HVACR equipment installation. A brief overview of other national and local building codes is also provided.
Air conditioning benefits, unitary cooling, unitary combination cooling and heating equipment, central station systems, service and problem analysis, and absorption refrigeration system topics are studied.
Codes and standards, heating start-up, heating checkouts, heating operation, AC start-up, AC checkouts, AC operation, heat pump start-up, heat pump checkouts, and heat pump operation are covered.
Topics include controls, valves, regulators, sensing devices/ fuel controls, residential control systems—heating/cooling, commercial and engineered control systems, and heat pump controls.
