COURSE OVERVIEW:

The field of advanced air conditioning and refrigeration technology encompasses the sophisticated engineering principles and thermodynamic cycles required for large-scale industrial and commercial thermal management. This course explores the transition from basic cooling cycles to complex systems, including multi-stage compression, absorption refrigeration, and variable refrigerant flow technologies. Understanding these advanced systems is essential for maintaining precise environmental conditions in sensitive industrial processes and high-occupancy infrastructure.

The scope of this training covers the integration of modern electronic controls, energy recovery ventilators, and high-efficiency heat exchangers into existing and new HVAC frameworks. Participants will examine the technical nuances of various refrigerants, focusing on their thermodynamic properties, environmental impact, and the mechanical adjustments required for different chemical compositions. The coverage extends to the physics of heat transfer, fluid dynamics within refrigerant piping, and the mathematical modeling of cooling loads for complex architectural structures.

Furthermore, this course addresses the critical aspects of system optimization, diagnostic protocols, and proactive maintenance strategies. It delves into the use of computerized building management systems and automated diagnostic tools to monitor system health and predict potential failures. By focusing on both the theoretical foundations and practical applications, the course ensures a comprehensive mastery of the technological advancements driving the modern refrigeration and air conditioning industry.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for mechanical engineers, HVAC supervisors, senior technicians, facility managers, and plant engineers responsible for the operation and maintenance of large-scale refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:
