Overcurrent Protection ...kers, are installed in a circuit to detect an overcurrent condition and selectively protect equipment and personnel, while minimizing loss of power on the rest of the system. However, the protection device must be properly selected to accommodate the overcurrent and respond in the appropriate time frame. In this course, the student will study the types of overcurrents that may be encountered  more...

Introduction to Solid State Semiconductors ...ductors since metal conducts electricity under almost any condition. Because of this, semiconductors are ideal for the construction of microprocessors, computer chips or memory chips, which consists of millions of transistors packed onto a tiny piece of silicon. Semiconductors can be made of a single material or a combination of several different materials. In early semiconductor devices,  more...

Sanitary Sewers - Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation ...condition of aging sewer systems along with increasing regulatory control of wet weather overflows has resulted in a significant need for rehabilitation of existing collection systems. Sanitary collection systems play a critical role in protecting human health and the environment. Sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) result when these systems fail, posing health and environmental risks. One of  more...

Laboratories Best Practices Energy Recovery ...chanical heating and cooling requirements associated with conditioning ventilation air in most laboratories. Laboratories typically require 100 outside air at high ventilation rates, between 6 and 15 air changes per hour, primarily for safety reasons. The heating and cooling energy needed to condition this air, as well as the fan energy needed to move it, is 5 to 10 times greater than the  more...

Cooling Water Problems and Solutions ...uired to maintain cooling water systems in good operating condition. Reasons and means are discussed for controlling scale, deposition, corrosion, and biological fouling. The discussion also covers the information on chemicals used for control, and methods available to permit operation within the limits. It is applicable to all engineers and designers involved in power plants, oil and gas,  more...

HVAC - Equipment and Systems ... a source location to portions of a building that require conditioning. Delivery components serve as an interface between the distribution system and occupied spaces. Compact systems that serve only one space or zone of a building (local systems) often incorporate all three functions in a single piece of equipment. Systems that are intended to condition multiple spaces in a building (central  more...

Failure Appraisement ...a technical product, an economic investment, a biological condition, or in many other circumstances. Chances are, someone will want to know why such a failure occurred. Engineers are frequently called upon to find, or are faced with the need to know, the reason for a failure. In the course of your engineering career, you may have on occasion been faced with the task of determining why, or how,  more...

Acoustical Considerations in HVAC Systems ...onsiderations are not always evaluated in an as-installed condition, they are certainly important to the functioning of occupants in the space. In this course the student will learn some of the basic acoustic considerations to take into account when selecting and specifying air devices and terminal units, no matter which manufacturer is used as basis-of-design. The student is expected to read  more...

Thermal Spraying Technology and Applications ...equipment suffers heavy wear rates owing to their service conditions. Thermal spray coatings impart high-quality wear resistant properties to the base metal, which the base materials do not necessarily have. Thermal spraying is a surface coating technology by which metallic or nonmetallic materials are deposited in a molten or semi-molten condition onto a base metal surface to optimize its  more...

Underground Storage Tank Sump Maintenance ...do to ensure that the sumps and spill buckets are in good condition to prevent loss of containment. The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the UST Systems: Inspecting and Maintaining Sumps and Spill Buckets as published by the US - Environmental Protection Agency. The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten questions at the end of this course  more...
