ECTC 202 - Heating Systems Design

(3,6) 5 Credits
This is a course which deals primarily with the application of the fundamental facts of engineering to the practical design of central heating systems, primarily hydronic in nature. Previous knowledge of heat transfer processes as applicable to air conditioning design is desirable.  Classroom instruction consists of engineering design and analysis of hot water (baseboards), steam (radiators), radiant (warm floors), hot air (ducted),  and geothermal heating systems. Throughout the semester, the student is also trained in the selection of equipment and peripheral components, and in the use of engineering-design and computer aided equipment selection software.  Particular attention is given to understanding the inherent system inefficiencies that occur due to either over-or under-sizing system components and their negative impact on energy consumption and equipment life expectancy.  Students are trained throughout the semester in proper sizing techniques for system performance optimization and energy conservation.
