Course Overview
Chiller Plants have been widely used in Manufacturing Sector of any nation. The proper design of these facilities includes not only selection of adequate equipment, but also their optimization from the point of view of production, distribution, storage as well as the utilization for the given cooling load and minimization of operating and maintenance costs. Mastering fundamentals, sizing, operation, & troubleshooting is a must for designers & operators of refrigeration systems & water chillers.
 
It is imperative that water-cooling system(s) operates at maximum efficiency. This WorkmanSkills Chiller Design, Installation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting training course will explain the best practices and procedures for installation, start-up and commissioning of chilled water systems. It will discuss methods of efficiency optimization in operation and maintenance, as well as the minimization of overall costs. Participants will also receive critical information needed to increase system’s reliability.
 
This WorkmanSkills Chiller Design, Installation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting training course will enable participants to become familiar with the main phases in the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the chilled water plants. This course covers fundamentals of refrigeration systems starting from the vapor compression cycle, refrigeration systems & water chillers main components (types, selection & capacity control), accessories & system level control, piping sizing & installation, refrigerants, oils, & safety, systems & component measurements, refrigeration systems diagnostics, servicing & troubleshooting, commercial & industrial water chillers, chillers operation & maintenance, systems & water chillers energy conservation & peak efficiency.
