IMR 4070 - Orientation and Theory
Clock Hours: 24
Delivery Mode
on-ground
Course Description:
This course will introduce students to the principles used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Students will learn to convert measurements from different temperature and pressure scales to the Metric to Imperial system, as well as convert power to heat and electrical energy values. Students will be introduced to all forms of heat energy and how they are moved and transferred. Students will learn how heat energy effects the state of matter and its concentration based on the state of matter in relation to pressure.
