Mechanical Maintenance Techniques: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems

This unit develops an understanding of the function, operation and routine maintenance requirements associated with heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. It is recommended that An Introduction to Mechanical Maintenance: Distribution Systems is completed before undertaking this unit and that Mechanical Maintenance Practice: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems is completed in conjunction with this Unit.

Learning Objectives : 

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: 

  • Outline the function and operation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
  • Outline typical signs of fault, damage, wear and corrosion in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
  • Describe typical routine maintenance requirements of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
  • Equipment – heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
  • Routine maintenance techniques for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
  • Technical information and guidelines.

 

Teaching methods :

  • The course will be delivered by means of classroom lectures and practical workshop exercices. 
  • Written questions could be supported by oral questions using equipment in the workshop – for example, identifying and naming faults or damage on a piece of equipment and/or describe the sequence of dismantling a piece of equipment.
  • Assessments can also be combined with other units where relevant, for example, Mechanical Maintenance Practice: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems.
  • Pre & post course tests are performed to measure knowledge acquisition.
