AHR 212A Advanced Comfort Systems Lab

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

This course is a comprehensive study of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration systems including water-cooled comfort systems, water-source/geothermal heat pumps, and high efficiency heat pump systems. Topics include advanced comfort systems analysis, measurement of operating efficiency, and inspection and correction of all major system components. Upon completion, students should be able to test, analyze, and troubleshoot air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration systems including water-cooled comfort systems, water-source/geothermal heat pumps, and high efficiency heat pump systems for residential or commercial applications.

Co-requisite(s): AHR 212 .
Course is typically offered in Fall.
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At the completion of the course, the students should be able to do the following:

Trace control circuit voltages (low voltage DC and AC) in a field setting using a volt ohm meter (VOM).
Trace high voltage circuits in a field setting using a volt ohm meter (VOM).
Determine faults in refrigerant lines in a field setting.
Determine restrictions in metering devices in a field setting.
