Intended Learning Outcomes
Collect wet and dry bulb temperature readings at several specified locations and plot the properties for each location on a psychometric chart.
Identify electrical and mechanical components of an air conditioner stating the purpose of each component.
Evaluate an installation of an air conditioning system or compliance of the electrical and mechanical systems.
Identify operating and safety controls; describe their function as well as draw them in a simple electrical ladder schematic diagram.
Explain how varying conditions of ambient affect system performance and procure data using proper test equipment to evaluate if system is standard or high effeciency to improve energy suage in sustainable environment.
Measure electrical and mechanical components of an operating air conditioning system safely using correct instruments to troubleshoot an air conditioning system to determine ways to increase energy efficiency.
