A significant portion of the course <br />length is dedicated to (rands -on training. Written and practical exams contribute to the evaluation of each student's <br />progress. Students can expect to devote approximately 6 I/2 hours per week for homework. <br />*Module (Course) Descriptions: <br />201R Basic Thermodynamics, Refrigeration, and Copper Works. Covers the fundamentals of the refrigeration, <br />cycle and operating components, the laws of thermodynamics, copper works (including brazing) & refrigeration <br />tools, materials and usage, compression systems and compressors, refrigerant controls, electro-mechanical <br />fundamentals, troubleshooting, charging by superheat and sub -cooling. <br />202R Electrical. Covers electrical motors — types and troubleshooting, electric circuits and controls, schematics, <br />proper use of instrumentation. Includes work with actual circuits constructed in class as well as work performed <br />on actual HVAC equipment. <br />203R Major System Components, Residential AC System Installation, Service Fundamentals, and Customer <br />Service. This module covers repair, installation and troubleshooting of residential HVAC systems. Various <br />types of ductless systems, which include mini -split systems and PTAC's will be discussed. Major emphasis <br />of the shop work will include electrical troubleshooting, refrigeration system troubleshooting and component <br />troubleshooting. Proper charging procedures will be extensively practiced. Students will be trained in <br />customer service. Review of the competencies learned in the previous two modules will be reinforced. <br />301C Residential & Light Commercial AC and Gas Heating Fundamentals <br />This module covers forced air heating fundamentals and the operation, troubleshooting and repair air <br />conditioning and gas fired heating systems. Absorption and evaporative cooling systems, and hydronic systems <br />will also be included. Air movement and measurement will be extensively covered in relationship to proper <br />HVAC Operation. Class will diagnose and troubleshoot air related problems, based on correctly taking and <br />interpreting measurements. <br />302C Commercial Refrigeration Systems. <br />This class covers commercial refrigeration components, function, operation, service and installation, heat loads <br />and piping, reach in & walk in refrigeration and freezers. The student will learn about electrical components and <br />symbols used in commercial refrigeration systems. The student will also study various ladder and schematic <br />diagrams and work with hand tools to install or service basic mechanical components in various systems. The <br />students will learn industry standards for temperature and pressure in refrigeration. They perform simple to <br />complex electrical trouble shooting techniques using a digital meter and other electrical testing devices for <br />refrigeration. Refrigeration system diagnostics and troubleshooting will also be covered. <br />-25- <br />
