1. INTRODUCTION:
During this semester, and as a part of my partial fulfillment of Bachelor degree in
mechanical engineering from the Tafila Technical University, I had the opportunity
to join the JUST(Jordan University of Science and Technology) , We worked in
Unit of operation and maintenance\Department of air conditioning, refrigeration
and heating in JUST .
My first training took place in tafila. It contains professional staff from
Engineers, Operators to Workers, who are always dedicated and loyal to their
company.
My training was divided into two days per week during three and half month. I
started my training by an interesting tour at the department in order to be familiar
with different sections of maintenance department. A very important thing I've
learned during the 35 days site training is to diagnose errors.
I had a schedule which I had to follow, deadlines to abide by, reports to hand out,
and requirements to interpret as design solutions. I attended meetings and observed
interactions between managers and employees.
After three and half months of training at department of air conditioning,
refrigeration and heating. I have learned a lot about mechanical engineering work
and contracting and mainly the engineers duties and responsibilities which gave
me a good experience needed by every fresh engineer and senior student. I didn't
only learn some engineering principles, I learned how to corporate with people in
order to get your job done, how to deal with operators and how to satisfy your
boss.

2. HVAC department services:

- Installation conditioners for classrooms
- Maintenance of air conditioning units
- Check up Central Cooling
- Regular maintenance of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.

2.1. Heating Department

Heaters are appliances whose purpose is to generate heat (i.e. warmth) for the building. This can be done
via central heating.
This department responsible for control a system contains a boiler, furnace, or heat pump to heat

water, steam, or air in a central location such as a furnace room in a classrooms, or a mechanical
room in a large building.

2.2. Ventilation department

Ventilation is the process of changing or replacing air in any space to control temperature or
remove any combination of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, or carbon
dioxide, and to replenish oxygen. Ventilation includes both the exchange of air with the outside
as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for
maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Methods for ventilating a building may be
divided into mechanical/forced and natural types.

2.3. Air conditioning department

Air conditioning and refrigeration are provided through the removal of heat. Heat can be
removed through radiation, convection, or conduction. Refrigeration conduction media such
as water, air, ice, and chemicals are referred to as refrigerants. A refrigerant is employed
either in a heat pump system in which a compressor is used to drive
thermodynamic refrigeration cycle, or in a free cooling system which uses pumps to circulate
a cool refrigerant (typically water or a glycol mix).
Following the finance issues and analyzes the income and outcome and total revenue
of the company.

2.4. Refrigeration department

In this section, we verify and maintenance cooling devices such as refrigerators that are
keeping the food.

3. Human Resources and training

Training and development is a function of human resource management concerned with
organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance of individuals and groups in
organizational settings. It has been known by several names, including "Human Resource
Development", "Human Capital Development" and "Learning and Development". These
definitions, of course, are viewed within the context of organizational learning rather than other
contexts (e.g. personal) of training and development.

4. MAJOR WORK ASSIGNMENTS

In the first week , start with awareness of workshop safety rule , then I had learned how does a
HVAC unit work , main parts of device ( replacing compressor , cooling fan , condensers ,,
filters , adding ice machine ) , cooling cycle main parts ( compressor, condenser, expansion valve
and evaporator )
In the second week ,

I had known chillers and its parts

Differences between central heating and cooling process.

A chiller is a machine that removes heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression or absorption
refrigeration cycle. This liquid can then be circulated through a heat exchanger to cool air or
equipment as required. As a necessary byproduct, refrigeration creates waste heat that must be
exhausted to ambient or, for greater efficiency, recovered for heating purposes. Concerns in
design and selection of chillers include performance, efficiency, maintenance, and product life
cycle environmental impact
A central heating system provides warmth to the whole interior of a building (or portion of a
building) from one point to multiple rooms. When combined with other systems in order to
control the building climate, the whole system may be an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air
conditioning) system.

The Advantages of Chilled Water Systems is Using substantial amount of cooling often use
water chillers because they are cost effective and there is a reduced hazard by not having
refrigerant piped all over the building.
In most industrial and office buildings, chillers are the single largest energy-using component. In
many facilities, more than 50 percent of annual electricity use can be attributed to the building
chillers. So proper operation and maintenance of the building chillers should be a high priority in
any facility energy management program. It is surprising, however, to see just how often chillers
are operated or maintained inefficiently or ineffectively, resulting in higher energy costs, lower
system performance and reliability, and decreased equipment life.
Some problems that we faced poor operating practices it's not only can decrease the chiller
efficiency, but also chiller life. Most such practices are the result of one or two situations: trying
to get a chiller to do something that it was not designed to do or not understanding the

consequences of a particular action. For example, one common practice when trying to provide
more cooling water to a facility is to increase the rate of chilled water flow through the chiller.
The belief is that with a higher flow rate, more cooling water will be available. In reality,
however, increasing the flow rate through a chiller beyond the manufacturers stated limit actually
reduces the operating efficiency of the chiller. Equally important, flow rates higher than those
recommended increase the rate of erosion in the chillers tubes, leading to early tube failure.

Problems that we faced in central heating:

1-Cold top section of radiator it's usually an indication that air has got into the system
somewhere and has become trapped. Air in a radiator will rise to the top forming a pocket
stopping the hot water from getting to that part. This can be released, but remember to turn the
heating off first. Now, armed with a rag beneath, use a radiator key to slacken the air bleed valve
which is at one end towards the top of the radiator. There will be a hissing sound as the air comes
out. As soon as water begins to flow, close the vent again and wipe away any water.

2- Cold bottom section of radiator it's a sign of rust and sludge build up which is sitting in the
bottom of the radiator. Following the guides on removing and refitting a radiator, take the
radiator outside and flush it through with a hosepipe. If you have the radiator standing on end,
you should be able to flush out most of the sludge.

With an open vent system, you may also consider using a

proprietary heating system sludge remover. Iron oxide which has
built up in the system is broken down and dispersed through
flushing. This will mean adding it to the feed and expansion tank
and, a few days later, emptying and refilling the system.

5. TRAINEE'S Contribute to the work

The team leader of my team asked me to make :

Completely electrical check up .

Completely mechanical check up .

Prepare reports on all the problems that we found.

There are no place for some words like : I cant and I dont know , you must ask and
try once , twice and more until to achieve what your boss ask .
on the other hand I suggested them to improve employees cafeteria , as we know
good feed led to good performance and good productivity .

6. SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

During the eight weeks training at department of air conditioning, refrigeration and heating in
Jordan , I learned a lot about the Mechatronics ( electrical and mechanical ) processes and
techniques . Also very important specifications related to mechanical and electrical diagnosis
that is being used to know what must do before do anything , no place for trying , you must be
confident .
Another important side of my training was the analysis of a circuits diagram for different
control units .
This experience gave me the chance to get involved with engineering real projects, which gave
me the confidence to be a good engineer after my graduation, time management, problem solving
and carrying responsibility was the main benefits of this training course.
The training experience was very exciting, full of knowledge that no one can have through the
theoretical studies at the university.
So to maximize the benefits of this program, the period of the training should be increased to
be 3 or 4 months, and strong relationships between the universities, engineering societies and the
private sectors.
