EXPLANATION OF HVAC

HVAC stands for Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning , is commonly associated with heating and cooling industry. is a system or machine that performs three major functions by its three separate ducts i.e heating, cooling and ventilation of air, generally used in residential commercial or Industrial buildings.

It is really worthwhile to learn this technology specially for the candidates and working professionals who belongs to Mechanical Engineering background, because the working process and designing parts are included in their course curriculum like Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Refrigeration and air conditioning, Machine Design, CAD, etc. I must say the learning of HCAC would be more beneficial for working experience to boost up their career, while for fresher I think it could be learn in combination with CAD/CAM/Catia for getting a good platform to start their professional life.

Knowledge of these subjects are a essential for a HVAC engineer:

1. Thermodynamics
2. Fluid Mechanics
3. Heat & Mass Transfer
4. Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
5. Transport Phenomena (additional)
6. Computational Fluid Dynamics (additional)
7. Power Plant Engineering (additional)

Scope of HVAC;

1. HVAC Design Engineer
2. HCAC Maintenance Engineer
3. HVAC Shift Engineer
4. HVAC Supervisor
5. HVAC Site Engineer etc
