AHR 212 Advanced Comfort Systems

Lecture: 2 Lab: 6 Clinic: 0 Credits: 4

This course covers water-cooled comfort systems, water-source/geothermal heat pumps, and high efficiency heat pump systems including variable speed drives and controls. Emphasis is placed on the application, installation, and servicing of water-source systems and the mechanical and electronic control components of advanced comfort systems. Upon completion, students should be able to test, analyze, and troubleshoot water-cooled comfort systems, water-source/geothermal heat pumps, and high efficiency heat pumps.

Pre-requisite(s): AHR 114 .
Course is typically offered in Summer.
