There is a kind of air conditioning which does not need almost any controls. There is no compressor and refrigerant in water evaporative air conditioners, no moving parts and high pressure.
As a college professor who teaches HVAC, thank you so much for all your work. Lessons that would take me hours to explain are summed up by you in 9 minutes, with better retention by the students.
LOL, sorry Prof, those who can't do, teach. Then the real world intervenes, it takes 10 years to make a real engineer. We also have to unteach so much, this is not a perfect world, 2.4 gpm per ton, uh no 3 gpm per ton at a 10 degree delta t. Yep, real world inefficency.
I am taking an HVAC Desing class and my professor cannot write the number 1 and 2 without them looking the same. You are definitely doing a better job than him
@@TheZayas55 that’s a very ignorant statement. Most that are teaching have done it previously on the field. Not everyone can teach, but anybody can “do it” within reason.
Haha seriously. I just say “I program thermostats” now. It’s kind of hard to explain to people who have no frame of reference of what HVAC actually entails
@@yayo2363 yeah, and of course building automation techs do way more than what is shown on this video but it breaks it down so people can at least get the basics of what we do. I do way more IT stuff than hvac stuff some days lol
I'm an electrician by trade, I've worked with many different types of HVAC systems the biggest was an Ammonia system. very large industrial operation with massive tanks and huge rooftop chilling towers. Ofcourse all the way down to residential systems and window units.
I work with many BMS,EMS,BAS systems. From Trane, Allerton, Niagara, Honeywell and many more. Thank god for the front end to monitor and help in performing diagnosis. Lots of Digital/ Binary and Analog inputs and outputs. 4-20ma or 0-10v DC controls
Amazing work as always was surprised you did not mention 3 way valves on those controls. I know there an older way but I had to change several and had to eliminate some once the building was switched over a variable speed pump system
I'm a technician on an automated tram system (3-car) that has 2 independent HVAC units per car. The refrigerant compressor operates on 3 phase 575 vac, along with the condenser system/fans... The evaporator / blower fan system is 120 vac.... The control board on the HVAC unit is 110 vac and 24 vdc for contactors and relays.
I built one of it in my house, not large as a PLC unit (small as my keyboard) but still can control my temperature in my house! (Cost around 500USD...)
Nicely put together. Follow up maybe insulation types, installation and impact on HVAC/comfort/energy use ($)/equipment loading over time. Well, off the clean the contact on my old bimetallic mercury switch...lol... amazing how accurate and durable these were!
While you were explaining the dead band I started thinking about PID loops. I was surprised you didn’t mention it. Many controllers for industrial heating applications have PID built into them. After years of working with these controllers I still find them very confusing. I usually just put them in auto tune and hope for the best. If the temperature will not hold steady it’s a nightmare trying to evaluate which parameter to change and by how much. Once I got them tuned properly I entered the parameters in a spreadsheet for future reference just in case the controller failed. Awesome video!
Fantastic clear explanations. My 8yr old wants to be an engineer, and he's subscribed too! Loves learning about this stuff even though he has little working knowledge or experience of them in the real world :-) thanks
I recently had the need to design such a controlled circuit to improve the unfamous little chinese CO2 laser ;) and I will probably have to plan something similar for an automatic watering system for the garden eventually pushing the fun up to an android app to overwatch and set some parameters and collect data over period of time. Maybe next summer. Anyway, nice video !

Hey. Just out of curiosity, if I have a degree in Instrumentation amd Control Technology and Electronics Engineering Technology, can I be an HVAC technician? Or do I need an additional degree in HVAC?
i have a trinity ti 150 boiler with 3 zones--seems when the basement zone comes on the boiler goes full out to 240 yet if the main floor goes on the boiler stays at 50 & takes forever? I assume its settings?? I looked at the manual it shows nothing about it :(
Do you know of any other UA-camrs that do the same type of thing you do with the boards breadboards trying to make like a light amplifier for sound that I could look into I'd appreciate it thank you
Hi guys does anyone know a good book that explains how machinery’s and equipment work in a site, like cooling towers, chillers, ahu, pdu, ups etc. I am a mechanical engineer and I want to learn how all machinery’s and equipment work and their components
Wonderful overview, and greatly appreciated! I can't help but think from a facilities management perspective about all the tenants who constantly complain of indoor comfort issues and how difficult it is to effectively interact with them with appropriate feedback. Disgruntled tenant personnel, Human Resources, tenant unions, Realtor lease agents and others look for and intentionally filter out technical answers in order to hold building maintenance personnel accountable for their personal issues even when the building is working properly. It is almost always a female on male complaint! It drives the occupancy culture towards the negative and it can be professionally threatening for the technical building maintenance personnel. How do you handle that?
Not replace, but you can use other fluids in a system that is designed to handle it. You can get heated oil systems, steam system, refrigerant systems etc
Men that's too much engineering you could just use I dunno know Google weather service to correctly Automate these task basically do the opposite of what the weather is telling you 1.The weather is sunny turn on AC 2. Winter turn on the heat And plus you can do even add the exact temperature
This is not a novel concept it's been done, they do not need google just a outside temp sensor on the building - more reliable. Then you can control the setpoints to that sensor via a BMS

Let's be honest, they were just trying to make conversation. They don't really care what you do.
@@LBTennis your parents don’t care what you do? Sorry to hear that man
What did you study?

Great to hear, you've definitely had an exciting career
I have a lot of respect for people that work with ammonia. I knew a guy who did and he had some crazy stories.
As someone who doesn't even know what HVAC stands for, I don't know why I'm watching this. LOL! 🤣

a very useful video, which teaches me things that I have researched for over a day in only 12 mins.
Glad it was helpful!

can you please make a video on internal and external tev working in ac plant and why POSV is required for controlling flow of refrigerant?
I learned more from this channel then my half ass hvac tech school.

Can you do a video on Chiller Unit of the like used in Airports, Hotels of such. Thanks.
It's super excellent work thanks sir very much
Fantastic clear explanations. My 8yr old wants to be an engineer, and he's subscribed too! Loves learning about this stuff even though he has little working knowledge or experience of them in the real world :-) thanks
instructive info thanks for the effort. but the circulation pump from the gas boiler it should be placed in the other/suction side.
Can you please give me the fully explain of the PCB of the airconditioner vork
Used to deliver HVAC commercial and residential systems, and parts. Pretty familiar with most parts, never installed any though.
Paul we need a video about glycol chiller
Good job
Please make the video on assembly and working principle of mother lathe and milling machine..
Always love your content!
Glad to hear it!
Great explanation, thank you!
You are welcome!
At around 2:00 on the diagram handling is spelled incorrectly.
Hi, love your videos! What textbooks do you reccomend to read further on hvac controls?

@Adam Peel No, I mean dew-point indirect evaporative cooling with EER 120+ (i.e. less than 10 Watt per 1 kW of cooling capacity.)
Hello Paul how about Back Pressure Valve?
Hey. Just out of curiosity, if I have a degree in Instrumentation amd Control Technology and Electronics Engineering Technology, can I be an HVAC technician? Or do I need an additional degree in HVAC?
How to clean a ventilator?
i have a trinity ti 150 boiler with 3 zones--seems when the basement zone comes on the boiler goes full out to 240 yet if the main floor goes on the boiler stays at 50 & takes forever? I assume its settings?? I looked at the manual it shows nothing about it :(
Do you know of any other UA-camrs that do the same type of thing you do with the boards breadboards trying to make like a light amplifier for sound that I could look into I'd appreciate it thank you
Simple audio amplifier circuit video is actually coming in the next few days hopefully, just soldering the board at the moment
@@EngineeringMindset very much appreciated!
Good video. Can anyone tell please what is the chilled beam?
Thanks.
Please watch our video on hvac heat exchanger
@@EngineeringMindset Thanks for your excellent work. Keep it up.
For the questions in the video stated my answers are as following :
A-Residential Apartment.
B-To control the AHU via Programmable Controllers DDC.

Why use Gas for heating? When you can use heat pump that so much efficient and better and cheaper and doesn't pollute.
Sometimes gas is used as a backup system
Wonderful overview, and greatly appreciated!

How do you handle that?
My job and geothermal unit
We've come a long way from wood stoves
Can anyone please answer my question, can we replaced water to any other low boiling liquid in central heating system?
Not replace, but you can use other fluids in a system that is designed to handle it. You can get heated oil systems, steam system, refrigerant systems etc
*Problem in HVAC system*

Co2 is not a bad gas. You mean carbon monoxide. Just hoping you slipped and arent pushing climate nonsense.

1.The weather is sunny turn on AC
2. Winter turn on the heat
And plus you can do even add the exact temperature
As a controls technician, you have far too much faith in people
@@yayo2363 lol right? This also doesn't account for the need for pressure needs, outside air needs and other possible needs of the customer.
What? The whole point of all this is to provide greater control than on/off signals... reducing wasted energy and providing better comfort/accuracy.
This is not a novel concept it's been done, they do not need google just a outside temp sensor on the building - more reliable. Then you can control the setpoints to that sensor via a BMS

I'm a controls tech by trade. We primarily deal with Schneider systems and work on mostly HVAC, lighting and access.
im looking to switch from service to controls any tips
If a reservoir water level is low, the signal could come back to the CPU to start the pumps so that water gets pumped from the Dam into the reservoir
I was thought a dead band should be 3 degrees to keep the units from short cycling.
