HVAC2-125

Credits:4

HVAC2-149

Credits:1

Control Application and Circuits This course is designed to give students an understanding of the operation of various types of control devices and how combinations of these devices can be applied and varied to secure the desired conditions in heating and cooling systems. Prerequisite(s): Complete HVAC2-116 and HVAC2-121. HVAC2-126 Credits:3 Air Conditioning Systems A practical approach to design, equipment selection and energy conservation for an air conditioning system, with a visit to a commercial building to observe the operation of a complete mechanical and HVAC system with computer operation and monitoring. Prerequisite(s): Complete HVAC2-116 and HVAC2-121. HVAC2-132 Credits:4 Architectural and Mechanical Fundamentals Instruction is given in design, application, blueprint reading, symbols and drawings of mechanical systems. Outlays of various heating and cooling systems in relation to architectural buildings are used. Proper mechanical schematics, isometric piping, and fl ow diagrams are discussed and drawn. HVAC2-144 Credits:3 Servicing and Troubleshooting Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Various methods of troubleshooting and servicing of refrigeration and air conditioning systems are studied together with the use of service tools and meters on commercial and industrial equipment. Prerequisite(s): Complete HVAC2-116. HVAC2-146 Credits:2 Digital Energy Management Systems Major types of automatic electrical control systems are described and compared. Programs, sensing and control points, signal transmission and processing, and other peripheral equipment that make up a complete building monitoring and control automation system are also explored. Prerequisite(s): Complete HVAC2-114. HVAC2-148 Credits:3 HeatPumps The Heat Pumps course is aimed at the servicing and installation of Heat Pumps. The curriculum provides instruction on equipment and procedures needed to check the heating and cooling performance of heat pump systems. Calculating heat gain and the use of a psychometric chart are included in this course. Due to concerns for both comfort and energy conservation, there is a need for technicians who have current training in the installation, troubleshooting and repair of Heat Pump Equipment. Prerequisite(s): Complete HVAC1-300 or HVAC2-115.

HVAC Summer Internship This course is designed to place students with active HVAC/R Contractors in Wisconsin in temporary summer hire positions. This provides students with the opportunity to apply learned skills to actual job site situations. This course is open only to Associate degree program students and is subject to prerequisites. A total of 192 hours of on-the-job experience is required to complete this course. Prerequisite(s): Complete HVAC2-109, HVAC2-110, HVAC2 113, HVAC2-114, HVAC2-115 and HVAC2-120. Instructor consent required. HVAC2-150 Credits:2 Wiring Diagram Interpretation for HVAC/R This course is designed to enhance the student’s ability to interpret modern wiring diagrams for HVAC/R. The curriculum provides instruction on the usage, design, and interpretation of writing diagrams such as the schematic, pictorial, installation, and hybrid. Instruction will include the interpretation of actual equipment wiring diagrams as well as designing wiring diagrams. Prerequisite(s): Complete HVAC 114 or ELECTY-396 and ELECTY-398. HYDPNU – Hydraulic Pneumatics (Department 439) HYDPNU-330 Credits:5 Basic Hydraulics/Pneumatics Students will be introduced to the basic principles of hydraulics and pneumatics, along with some of the basic components used in each system. This includes their principles of operation and more common problems. Some of the components covered are: pumps, compressors, directional control valves, actuators, fl uid conditioning devices, pressure control valves, conductors and sealing devices. HYDPNU-336 Credits:4 Fluid Power Circuits This course begins with instilling an understanding of hydraulic/pneumatic circuits and their schematic symbols. Building on those skills, students then explore electrical/electronical relay logic circuits and their components. The students build skills through written and hands-on lab assignments designed to simulate real world systems and the skills to install and troubleshoot them. HYDPNU-338 Credits:4 Mechanical Systems This course teaches the fundamentals of mechanical transmission systems and allows for the practice of industry-relevant skills including how to operate, install, maintain, troubleshoot, and design basic mechanical transmission systems using chains, v-belts, spur gears, bearings, and couplings.
