Basic Automation for HVAC

🏫 Course Title: Basic Automation for HVAC

🚀 Course Headline: Master the Essentials of HVAC Control Systems – No Prior Knowledge Required!

Introduction: While working as a HVAC engineer for EPC projects in the Middle East, I encountered numerous colleagues who struggled with handling automatic control systems. It's common for mechanical engineers to deal with such complexities, yet the transition from manual to automated systems can be challenging. This is the very motivation behind Basic Automation for HVAC – a course designed to bridge the gap between mechanical engineering knowledge and the practical application of HVAC control systems.

If you're an engineer with a background in mechanical engineering but find yourself daunted by automatic control systems, this course is tailored just for you. I aim to make the learning process as straightforward as possible. However, if there's anything that doesn't click, don't hesitate to reach out. Your questions are welcome, and I'll ensure to provide clear and prompt answers to keep you on track.

Course Structure Overview: This course is structured to cover the fundamental components and concepts of HVAC automation that you'll need in your day-to-day work. We'll explore a range of topics, from the 3 basic components that make up an automatic system to more advanced features like redundancy, changeover, optimal start, and interfacing with Fire & Gas systems. Here's what we'll delve into:

🔹 Basic 3 Components for Automatic System

• Controller
• Sensor
• Actuator

🔹 Local vs Remote Control

• Understanding the differences and when to use each

🔹 Typical HVAC Configuration

• A closer look at common setups and their applications

🔹 Redundancy

• Ensuring system reliability and uptime

🔹 Changeover

• Switching between systems smoothly and efficiently

🔹 Optimal Start

• Strategies for energy efficiency and cost savings

🔹 Interface with F&G (Fire & Gas)

• Safe operation in potentially hazardous environments

🔹 Emergency Power Mode

• Ensuring critical systems remain operational during outages

🔹 Sequences for HCP (Heat, Cool, Purge)

• Effective programming for optimal environmental conditions

Understanding these components is crucial; they're the bread and butter of modern HVAC engineering. Without this knowledge, they can quickly become formidable challenges rather than tools to enhance your projects.

🎓 Learning Goals: By the end of this course, you will have a solid grasp of HVAC automation concepts, enabling you to confidently handle and troubleshoot control systems. This knowledge is invaluable for enhancing your engineering skills and ensuring project success.
