Electrical Controls For HVAC Systems
This is a three day hard-hitting, hands-on, step-by-step program focusing on electrical components, how they operate, and how they are connected to control and protect air conditioning and heating equipment. This program is a logical follow-up to the AC&R mechanical seminar...a "must" for all maintenance personnel who need to understand the technology, troubleshooting, and repair of HVAC electrical control systems. Safety and various control devices are explained, how to adjust and troubleshoot these electrical components. The program illustrates how single phase, three phase, and low voltage control are integrated into a single system.
Who Should Attend
Building Maintenance Technicians, HVAC Mechanics, HVAC Apprentice, Maintenance Supervisors, Service Managers, Facility Engineers, Plant Engineers, Utility Engineers, Building Managers, and Planners and Schedulers.
Instructors
Joe McAfee is a technical trainer and maintenance consultant with thirty years of progressive experience in plant maintenance and equipment management. Mr. McAfee has expertise in the areas of electro pneumatics, hydraulics, HVAC (including boilers), and fluid power. His career includes shop floor electrical experience, process and manufacturing engineering, department management, and maintenance management.
