This online engineering PDH course covers the fundamentals of automatic controls in the HVAC system. Emphasis is placed on the control principles, terminology, basic components, control devices and direct digital control systems. Numerous illustrations and examples have been included to enhance the understanding of the course material.

 

The HVAC systems are designed for peak conditions. Because these conditions prevail only for small period in a year, the HVAC equipment must operate most of the time at lean capacity. The function of the control system is to adjust the equipment capacity to match the load. Automatic controls are necessary not only to achieve the design conditions in the conditioned space but are also required for efficient operation of the HVAC system. The main parameters to be controlled in air conditioning system are temperature, pressure, humidity, air quality and thermal energy distribution.

 

It is important to note that the primary factor influencing the effectiveness of HVAC system is the proper mechanical design itself. The HVAC system must be properly designed to satisfy the process or comfort requirements. Only when this criterion is satisfied can a suitable control system be applied.

These instruments are used to determine how the engineering plant is operating. Machinery damage, personnel injury, and expensive and time-consuming repairs can be avoided by taking proper operator actions, which can only take place when the instruments (temperature indicators, pressure gauges, and so forth) are properly calibrated and properly interpreted by the operating personnel.

This online engineering PDH course covers the development of radio receivers from the late 1800s to the present, simultaneously in separate dimensions: Time and Frequency.  As communications technology has progressed since the late 1800s, so has the upper frequency limit. The advancement of technology and upper frequency have happened in parallel so organizing this course in chronological order dovetails well with increasing frequencies.While circuitry is not addressed except in a very few cases where it cannot be avoided, there is extensive information to cover the evolution of radio receivers.

 

In the last few decades, incredible advances in computer technology have led to the ability to digitize received signals for computer processing.  This brings tremendous advantages, as adding software capabilities does not require hardware changes.  For example, a receiver can be configured with a wide selection of filter bandwidths to allow matching the filter to the incoming signal.  Such a system would be unaffordable in hardware. As analog-to-digital conversion becomes possible at ever higher frequencies, the conversion point has been migrating closer and closer to the antenna.

 

We are now in the era of the software-defined-radio.  Regardless, the physics of the universe still applies, and the techniques developed over the last century are still relevant, even if incorporated into a computer program. George Santayana warned that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.  While he did not have the evolution of communications gear in mind, his rule applies here too.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for electrical or communications engineers, design professionals, and others interested in gaining an understanding of radio receivers.
