Lab Safety

Student participation in any hands-on portion of this course will include ladder safety and use of proper fall protection. It is expected the student will adhere to all

other safety requirements as they arise.

Target Audience

The target audience for this course includes Trane service technicians, controls technicians, service contractors, maintenance technicians, Existing Building Systems (EBS) personnel and others involved with system commissioning or with ensuring that an HVAC system is operating correctly and efficiently. Though geared for service technicians, anyone involved with ensuring that a system is set up to work as efficiently as possible will benefit from the class. The course includes systems used in all geographic regions. The curriculum is designed for "seasoned" or advanced technicians whose responsibility is to interpret and commission new buildings with engineered energy conservation as the top priority.

Prerequisites

Participants attending this course must have strong HVAC skills or an under-standing of engineered building systems and understand the importance of compliance with today’s energy efficiency requirements. Attendees should have an interest in promoting energy

conservation with the customer as well as within their organization with regard to proper (or improper) system setup and operation.

This course covers the operation and setup of a commercial VAV system from the standpoint of the service technician. Shutoff VAV, Bypass VAV, and Single Zone VAV will be discussed in the class, although Shutoff VAV (traditional VAV) will be the primary focus. The concepts discussed will apply to new system startup as well as existing buildings. The course also discusses the different fan types used in commercial HVAC units.

The lab exercises are designed around several working VAV systems in our La Crosse training lab. This includes IntelliPak Commercial Self-Contained (CSC) and rooftop units (RTU) with various types of VariTrane VAV boxes. During the lab exercises, students will use the various tools needed to setup and commission (or re-commission) a VAV system. Also, the Rover service tool will be used for VAV box setup and for the purpose of verifying proper system operation from a service perspective. Attendees will learn to recognize important parameters within building plans in order to commission the building as the design engineer intended. The plans used will include the

equipment schedule, sequence of operation, airflow requirements, and ventilation.

Target Audience

This course is ideal for HVAC installers, maintenance mechanics, industrial electrical technicians and apprentice level service technicians who have HVAC servicing responsibility and need a thorough understanding of electrical troubleshooting skills.

Prerequisites

This course is open to anyone that is motivated to become proficient with the electrical side of HVAC equipment. An understanding of the refrigeration cycle and its components will be helpful.

This course is intended to improve a technician’s ability and confidence when electrically troubleshooting commercial HVAC equipment. The course will broaden the technician’s capabilities to troubleshoot controls and other electrical circuits by teaching an understanding of practical electrical theory as applied to the products and components found in HVAC. The information and skills learned should greatly decrease service diagnosis time and take the guesswork out of isolating problems found in single and three-phase air conditioning and heating

products. This course makes extensive use of lab hands-on methods.

Lab Safety

Target Audience

This course will benefit personnel who operate and/or maintain commercial HVAC distribution systems or who plan and/or conduct maintenance or service procedures for these systems. This course is intended for plant engineers, maintenance supervisors, operating engineers and HVAC service and maintenance technicians who need an improved understanding of air and chilled water system control and maintenance requirements and techniques.

Prerequisites

This course addresses the needs of persons from widely varied backgrounds and does not require in-depth HVAC knowledge. Students should be ready, however, to assimilate HVAC ‘system’ thinking.

This course is intended to provide attendees with a “systems” approach to maintaining and diagnosing problems involving air distribution and water piping systems from a service perspective. It will show technicians and supervi-sors how Trane utilizes water flows to obtain efficient chiller operation. The course will also discuss water system conditions that can be detrimental to efficient operation and possibly damaging to system components. It also in-structs students in appropriate airside systems maintenance and troubleshooting procedures. Students will take flow measurements in a laboratory setting, using recommended tools and techniques to determine the chilled water sys-tems performance. Chilled water optimization with multiple chillers will also be discussed, along with chiller control strategies for variable water temperature / flows using Trane Adaptive Control™ technology.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

 Understand Trane centrifugal chiller operation and chilled water system theory.

 Observe chiller construction process.

 Use operating logs to recognize normal operation and how abnormal influences affect chiller operation and performance.

 Recognize problems that reduce efficiency and damage equipment.

 Learn basics of system components.

 Understand chilled water piping designs Target Audience

Our target is individuals responsible for the operation and preventative maintenance of Trane CenTraVac chill-ers (CVHE,F,G and the new CVHS). This course will benefit technicians, supervisors or engineers who make planning decisions to support centrifugal chiller maintenance. This class does not include hands-on maintenance training.

Prerequisites

Students will benefit from this course in direct relation to

their background knowledge of refrigeration, electrical, mechanical and basic heat transfer systems. This course addresses the needs of individuals from widely varied backgrounds and does not require in-depth HVAC knowledge.

Plant Tour Requirement

Leather shoes which give good protection and long trousers are required. Neither sandals nor cloth-top shoes are permitted in manufacturing areas.

CenTraVac® System Fundamentals

This course will familiarize owner maintenance supervisors and technicians with Trane CVHE,F,G and the new CVHS oil-less centrifugal chiller operation and maintenance requirements. It will also help them understand chilled water systems and load-based chiller dynamics. The course will help technicians troubleshoot and will help chiller owners decide if work can be done in-house or not. Technicians can particularly benefit from coverage on diagnosing and maintaining machine design performance, and learn what can occur if operating outside of these parameters. Students will have the opportunity to observe the manufacturing and the assembly of key components in a factory tour. This course relies primarily on classroom lecture.
