We can make arrangements with expert training groups for full Competent Person Ventilation training and undertake a shorter ventilation maintenance course for maintenance staff. This course is intended to help engineers gain the skills and knowledge required to become a Competent Person (Ventilation), CP(V). Although attendance on this course may be a factor, any appointment to CP(V) is based on individual skill levels and specific knowledge of the relevant ventilation systems.Our training can be carried out at your location or hospital. On successful completion of the course, delegates will be able to: This course is intended to give maintenance engineers the particular skills and knowledge required to maintain ventilation systems and to assist the CP(V) in fault finding or verification activities. Our training can be cariied out at your location or hospital.On successful completion of the course, delegates will be able to: Both courses are assessed and successful delegates will be issued with a certificate of attendance.

Air Handling Unit Construction and Performance Entropic Ltd was incorporated in 2000 and provides high-quality ventilation systems for buildings, with a focus on efficiency, safety and comfort.  It provides complete HVAC systems (including air handling units, chillers, chilled beams, kitchen canopies, fire dampers and smoke control dampers) and also aid Consulting Engineers in the ventilation aspects of building design.  It has an extensive portfolio of past projects including work in pharmaceutical and hospital environments. To explain how an air handling unit works and compare the various components, materials and construction methods used in modern air handling units that enable them to fulfil highly specific requirements imposed by standards such as HTM 03-01 for healthcare premise ventilation.  To show how factory acceptance testing, standardised testing to EN 1886:2007 and Eurovent certification can help guarantee the required level of quality in air handling units.

To understand what an air handling unit does. To gain knowledge of each of the components of an AHU, what the function of each is and how material and design choices affect AHU performance. To understand the role of Eurovent in the certification of AHU performance. To look at the categories of performance formally specified in EN 1886:2007 and to understand the rating system used in classifying each one.capacitor in ac circuit To take a detailed look at the specialised requirements imposed by the Healthcare Technical Memorandum 03-01 on AHU design.central air conditioning units cleaning What does an AHU do?5 ton hvac split system How does an AHU function?
