and house lighting. Elementary idea of special features required
and minimum level of illumination required for physically
handicapped and elderly in building types.
Refrigeration Principles & Applications: Thermodynamics – Heat
– Temperature, measurement transfer – Change of state – Sensible
heat – Latent heat of fusion, evaporation, sublimation – saturation
temperature – Super heated vapour – Sub cooled liquid – Pressure
temperature relationship for liquids – Refrigerants – Vapour
compression cycle – Compressors – Evaporators – Refrigerant
control devices – Electric motors – Starters – Air handling units –
Cooling towers – Window type and packaged air-conditioners –
Chilled water plant – Fan coil systems – Water piping – Cooling
load – Air conditioning systems for different types of buildings –
Protection against fire to be caused by A.C. Systems
Fire Safety Installation: Causes of fire in buildings – Safety
regulations – NBC – Planning considerations in buildings like non-
combustible materials, construction, staircases and lift lobbies, fire
escapes and A.C. systems. Special features required for physically
handicapped and elderly in building types – Heat and smoke
detectors – Fire alarm system, snorkel ladder – Fire lighting pump
and water storage – Dry and wet risers – Automatic sprinklers
