System Performance: Maximizing Energy Efficiency in Heating and Cooling

By: Randy F. Petit, Sr.,Turner L. Collins,Earl Delatte,Erik Rasmussen

Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment is only as good as the installation. Studies show that the majority of HVACR equipment is not installed to manufacturer specifications, costing the consumer more money. * 68% of all air conditioning systems are improperly charged. * 70% of all systems have improper airflow. * 91% of systems remain untested for combustion safety and efficiency! The System Performance training manual is broken into four sections. Each section covers the techniques and procedures required for a technician to maximize the energy efficiency of HVAC systems. 1. Airflow: Covers the properties of air, airflow measuring tools, CFM calculations/requirements, blower performance, and sensible heat ratios. 2.Critical Charging: Reviews the three charging methods by weight, system superheat, and condenser subcooling. It gives examples of calculating the total charge based on line sizes and provides an easy method to check whether a system is operating to rated capacity. 3.Psychrometrics: Covers the parts of a psychrometric chart and calculating the thermodynamic properties of air. Also, this section demonstrates using wet and dry bulb temperatures to plot air conditions being heated or cooled which enables the technician to obtain a systems effect on sensible and latent building load. 4.Combustion Analysis: This section reviews the basic combustion process and the factors that affect heating efficiency. Proper methods for furnace setting of airflow, adjustment and testing fuel pressure, and flue gas venting.

Electrical Theory and Application for HVACR

By: Randy F Petit Sr.,Turner L. Collins,Earl DeLatte

With the majority of HVACR service calls being electrical in nature, it is important for technicians to have a solid understanding of electrical fundamentals allowing them to develop a systematic and methodical approach to troubleshooting. Electrical Theory and Application for HVACR provides students and practicing technicians with the information and knowledge necessary to accurately and safely diagnose and solve electrical system faults. Electrical Theory and Application for HVACR was written by HVACR instructors for HVACR instructors to simplify the instruction of electricity. The manual is full of color illustrations and includes worksheets that provide students and practicing technicians with the information and knowledge necessary to accurately and safely diagnose and solve electrical system faults. Main topics include: safety and hazard awareness, electrical fundamentals, motors, circuits and components, wiring diagrams, automated control systems, and troubleshooting.

Green Awareness Second Edition

By: Michael J. Korcal,Randy F. Petit Sr.,Joseph R Pacella,Philip Campbell,Earl Delatte,Lem Palmer,Turner Collins,Erik Rasmussen,Eugene Silberstein

When it comes to mechanicals, (HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical) "Green" means fuel and energy efficiency, renewable and sustainable fuel sources, and water conservation. Both employers and consumers want to be Green and reduce energy consumption while maintaining their current lifestyles. They want technicians to be aware of the various methods employed in reducing energy consumption and conserving water. They want technicians to be knowledgeable about new technologies. The Green Awareness training program provides a basic understanding of green concepts, terminology, systems, and the latest in green mechanical technology. The manual contains five main sections: * Energy Management and Analysis * Building Science * HVACR * Electrical * Plumbing

Section 608 Certification Exam Preparatory Manual - 9th Edition V2

By: Esco Institute

Section 608 of the Federal Clean Air Act requires that all persons who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of appliances that contain ozone depleting refrigerants be certified in proper refrigerant handling techniques. These regulations were revised in the fall of 2016 to address HFCs, HFOs, revised allowable leak rates, and expanded record keeping guidelines. The ESCO Institute’s EPA Section 608 Certification Program has been revised to incorporate these new regulations. Now in its second release, the ESCO Institute's EPA Section 608 Preparatory 9th Edition V2 Manual covers the material required to successfully pass the Universal Exam in 32 pages.
