Practical HVAC Engineering Training
Practical HVAC and plumbing training resources for engineers, designers, contractors, and project teams who need calculation-based design guidance.
This training section focuses on practical and challenging engineering topics such as psychrometric process lines, ERV/HRV calculations, duct pressure drop, hydronic flow, water heater sizing, ventilation load, and real project design decisions.
Psychrometric Chart Training Series
This series will focus on practical psychrometric chart applications used in HVAC design, not only basic definitions.
Cooling & Dehumidification
Practical process-line examples for cooling coils, humidity removal, apparatus dew point, and supply air condition.
- Cooling coil process line
- Humidity ratio reduction
- Apparatus dew point concept
- Bypass factor impact
Room Sensible Heat Ratio
How to use RSHR to connect room sensible load, latent load, supply air condition, and coil leaving air condition.
- RSHR line concept
- Supply air condition estimate
- Room sensible and latent load relationship
- Common design mistakes
Mixed Air & ERV/HRV Processes
Practical examples for outdoor air, return air, mixed air condition, and heat recovery impact before the cooling or heating coil.
- Mixed air temperature
- Outdoor air load effect
- ERV/HRV leaving air condition
- Ventilation load reduction
Practical HVAC Calculation Topics
Downloadable Excel Tools
Downloadable Excel tools and worked examples will be added for practical HVAC design calculations, including psychrometric processes, duct pressure drop, ERV/HRV effectiveness, hydronic flow, and commercial water heater sizing.
