Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Laboratory
Location:13-124
The HVAC Lab focuses on ventilation principles, removal of mass particles, hood and duct system design, and other aspects of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning.
Equipment:
- HVAC Refrigeration demonstration system, table-top model cooling tower.
Description of Equipment/Lab:
- Students investigate system design for air conditioning and refrigeration.
- Refrigerants and absorption systems are explored, hardware configuration and thermodynamics are considered.
- Local industrial facilities provide practical design situations; for example, students worked with a local guitar manufacturer, designing sawdust collectors and a constant humidity wood storage room.
