Fundamentals of HVAC - Basics of HVAC

[@bigtel1977]

I’ve been a hvac engineer for 20+yrs now and found your videos while scrolling through KZbin….so glad I did as I watch them all the time, wealth of knowledge and learning new things about plant I hadn’t worked on before. I tell my lads who work with me to watch them to learn from….the time and effort you have put in must be incredible to produce such detailed and informative videos…well done mate…keep it up..👏🏻

[@rasismark5184]

Really insightful

[@PunmasterSTP]

Out of curiosity, how do newer HVAC systems stack up to older ones? Are they a lot more complex and prone to breaking down, or have things become streamlined and easier to work with?

[@jt500_salvage]

@@PunmasterSTPif you are asking me I’ll happily reply. In all honesty things were built to last years ago, nowadays it’s all about items being recycled in 15-20yrs. The fans themselves I feel are a lot more fragile both mechanically and electrically as they have moved to direct drive EC fans (inside AHU’s). The actual AHU’s themselves I’d say are a lot better in terms of quality and accessibility for maintaining. I suppose it’s line everything, technology takes over…VSD’s seem to be disappearing now in favour of EC fans with built in smart technology that will control fan speeds based on either air volumes or pressures. I am in the process of taking delivery of 50 new AHU’s to site for a client, all in separate sections, joining them and then leakage testing them. On a side note, Ziehl EC fans seem to be breaking down a lot lately with failed welds on the fan frames, Nicotra on the other hand never seem to fail.

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@jt500_salvage That's interesting, and thank you so much for your reply! I keep up with engineering and technology mostly as a hobby and know essentially nothing about HVAC. I did imagine a lot of newer components would be less durable, so that makes sense...

[@TROllingNINJA2031]

this is an incredible resource. i'm 19 and and just getting into the HVAC field and beside my mentor i don't really have any other source for information. i really appreciate the time and effort went into this especially in the diagrams and schematics designed, much easier to understand over someone trying to explain a specific system, part or unit.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Really pleased to hear these resources are being used to help young engineers. It can be difficult to get the hands on experience and exposure that's why we try to include as many models, photos and real life examples as possible. There's plenty more videos on the way!

[@mohammedatifjaseem]

The effort that has been put into this video is insane. Showing 3D models and real-life examples simultaneously! Thank you and great work! Cheers!

[@darshanpful]

Totally agree! Very well done.

[@radzmirjamaluddin1722]

Thank you very much for the video. I'm new to a HVAC system, always being doing Fire Protection and Water Supply System design, but my new job requires me to understand HVAC system and this helps me a lot. Thank you again and God bless you!!

[@raghavsharma4842]

With all due respect, dude you need to be a lecturer in a university. You would be the most favourite teacher in the Mechanical Engineering Course Hands down! Best explanation of HVAC ever!

[@EngineeringMindset]

Thanks Raghav. I like to teach via youtube because then anyone in the world can learn as long as they have internet access, plus all our videos are free! university is expensive, limited to just a single class and usually not available online to relearn

[@raghavsharma4842]

The Engineering Mindset love your universal thinking

[@Elkdizzle]

As an Engineer, you keep things so clear and I follow your videos religiously! Thank you

[@BodegaMouse]

I had to pause the video at 18:00 minutes just to show appreciation for how much I've learned so far from your knowledge. I'm brand spankin' new to the HVAC world and I start technical school July 5th. I'm taking HVAC/R and PLC Systems. I hope to start some sort of basic work at least halfway through the school year if I get lucky. Can anyone give me any advice on starting off fresh? This is a major decision I've made but I also look at it as an investment for my life and career. I'm 27 and I need good career like this one. I would appreciate any advice from anyone out there in the field. Thank you so much for this video. New sub here.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Hey Bodega, really glad to hear the videos are helping you and that you've gone into HVAC. It'll definitely be an interesting career choice. My advice would be to ask everyone everything, if you see something and you don't know what it is and how it works then ask around until you find someone who does. Never be embarrassed to ask or to learn, no one was born with knowledge, it is something we acquire. If a service engineer comes in, shadow them and pester them so you know exactly what they are doing and why. Write down the model numbers of equipment and ask the manufacturers for their service guides. Lastly, don't over complicate things, large systems are complex but if you break each part down it becomes much more simple.

Absolutely it is worthy. but we have limitations in Iran for creating foreign pay-portal like paypal, visa, mastercard by the sanctions. These Days due the historical downfall of Iran currency(Persian Rial), the government prohibited exchanging foreign currencies. News are my witnesses. Hope you accept my apology.

I'm a new HVAC apprentice with a lot of mechanic experience, but I just wanted to say your videos are worth the time. Very thorough and knowledgeable. The software you used to narrate the systems is really cool. Keep up the good work brother. I'm liking and subscribing after this video. This is the 2nd video I watched and will continue to watch your content.
