  • Sequence of operation of a heat pump system both mechanically and electrically
  • More complicated electrical wiring diagrams and how to interpret them
  • How to determine electrical and mechanical problems
  • How to detect and find refrigerant leaks and repair
  • Participants will also work on various systems used in the residential field.

Entry in HVAX 3200 requires one of the following: Red Seal: Sheet Metal, Plumber, Electrician, or Gas Fitter.

Language

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • ​Understand the basic principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics relevant to heat pump operation
  • Identify different types of heat pumps and their respective applications
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the components and parts required for a heat pump system installation
  • Perform proper refrigerant handling and charging procedures in compliance with environmental regulations
  • Evaluate site conditions and factors affecting heat pump performance, such as insulation and air-flow

Heat pumps help reduce the energy consumption, operating costs, and environmental impacts associated with the residential or industrial heating and cooling.
