ABSTRACT OF AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM DESIGN:-CURRENT AND COMMON ENGINEERING PROBLEMS & THEIR SOLUTIONS IN INDUSTRY

HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) refers to technology of environmental comfort. HVAC system design is a major sub-discipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Refrigeration is sometimes added to the field’s abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR.

HVAC is important in the design of medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and in marine environments such as aquariums, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors.

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course is industry designed, to provide a broad understanding of the improvement methodology, concepts, and process. The methodology is presented with case studies and examples drawn from service, business process and manufacturing applications. The integration of manufacturing and maintenance is also addressed. With a heavy practice orientation, as much as a third of your time will be spent working through interactive practical exercises and assessments. This course is designed as an introduction to concepts and methodology.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

This training program is designed to provide an understanding of engineering related problems related to industry globally and a clear sense of what is required to effectively  structure, establish measurements and solve problems. Participants will learn the goals and deliverables behind the solutions. Methodology as well as the most commonly used tools within each phase will be discussed. Participants will also learn how to support a problem solving initiative within their organization.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

On successful completion of this course, the participant should be able to:-

• Understand the benefits and implications of a HVAC engineering problem solving program, and relate the concepts to the overall business mission and objectives.
• Think about his/her organization as a collection of processes, with inputs that determine the output.
• Use the concept of HVAC engineering problem solving to evaluate the capability of a process or organization.
• Recognize the engineering problem solving model used to improve processes.
• Recognize the organizational factors that are necessary groundwork for a successful engineering problem solving program.
• Integrate the HVAC engineering problem solving program effort with other process improvement initiatives.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

• The latest educational methods and strategies will be utilized.
• The course is designed to maximize delegate participation.
• Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily wrap-up sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with others and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions.
• The course shall be conducted through lectures, case studies, group discussions and exercises to reinforce participant’s learning.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Manufacturing, process, executives, managers, maintenance personnel, operational managers etc.

COURSE FORMAT
