3. Design at least three water-based systems covering heating, chilled water, and condenser water
4. Prepare design documents for water-based systems for two different types of systems.
5. Demonstrate competency with health and safety and other relevant legislative requirements - Content
- - Health and Safety and Employment Act requirements.
- Operating principles of water based systems components with reference to operation, construction, and capacity, i.e. air cooled chillers, water cooled chillers, boilers, fan-coil units, hydronic units, radiators, convectors, unit heaters, cooling towers, evaporative condensers, pumps, pipes and associated fittings, control valves, balancing devices, feed and expansion tanks, hydro-pneumatic tanks and systems.
- Determine system parameters, water circulation, heat transfer, pressures, temperatures, capacity control, pressure control, temperature control, insulation, energy use, corrosion control, health and safety.
