Air Conditioning Systems Design
6 Credits
Prerequisite:  ARTC-101 Refrigeration I, ES-110 CAD I

This course deals primarily with the application of the fundamentals of engineering to the practical design of air conditioning systems.  The course begins with the concepts of human comfort and their dependence on the proper conditioning of air, continues with cooling load estimating, psychometric analysis, indoor air quality issues, the design of the air distribution system, and the selection of the air conditioning unit and peripheral components. Throughout the semester the student is also trained in the use of engineering design software.
