This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides key knowledge information to help you identify the types of ducts and ventilation systems, their installation, and the factors in determining the sizes required to meet specified building requirements.

To deliver air to the conditioned space, you need air carriers. These carriers are called ducts. They are made of sheet metal or some structural material that is non-combustible. As an engineer, you can expect to become involved in the installation of duct and/or ventilation systems designed to provide conditioned air, or to remove less desirable air from a given space or facility.

This course presents the types of duct systems, duct system construction, and how duct systems are sized. It also describes how duct systems are balanced, the two types of ventilation systems, and the tools and materials used to evaluate system operation.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for mechanical engineers, designers and professionals who are interested in learning more about duct systems and ventilation.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an overview of the purpose, construction, and principles of operation of the major types of heat exchangers.

In almost any nuclear, chemical, or mechanical system, heat must be transferred from one place to another or from one fluid to another. Heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from one fluid to another. A basic understanding of the mechanical components of a heat exchanger is important to understanding how they function and operate. Common applications of heat exchangers include boilers, fan coolers, cooling water heat exchangers, and condensers.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to mechanical and chemical engineers, facility operators, maintenance personnel and professionals who are interested in learning more about heat exchangers and their specific applications.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides guidance on the operation of centrifugal and positive displacement pumps.

In general, a pump is a mechanical device that is used to raise the flow of a fluid from one elevation to the other by increasing the pressure of the fluid.  Centrifugal pumps use a centripetal force, which is defined as the action that causes the fluid to move away from its centre of rotation. Whereas positive displacement pumps physically entrap a quantity of liquid at the suction of the pump and push that quantity out the discharge of the pump.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily to mechanical engineers, plant operators, maintenance personnel, and technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of centrifugal and displacement pump design and operation
