RE 230 Industrial Heating & Cooling Systems I
In this advanced course, students are introduced to industrial heating and cooling systems and their various components, including variable air volume (VAV) systems, boilers, chillers, cooling towers, hot water systems, geothermal heat pumps, electrical theory, control circuits, wiring schematics, variable frequency drives (VFDs), pneumatics, and direct digital control (DDC) systems. Students will develop troubleshooting skills for industrial systems, an understanding of control systems, and the ability to interpret control circuits, wiring schematics, and piping diagrams. This course also delves into specific topics related to controlled atmosphere (CA) rooms, including nitrogen scrubbers, liquid nitrogen, nitrogen generators, and the processes involved in creating and exiting a controlled atmosphere. RCW 19.28, WAC 296-4018, and articles from the NEC are addressed for a final time.
