Expert has an extraordinary experience in climate control, which is defined as artificially altering or controlling the temperature and humidity of a conditioned space through heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, having worked in Saudi Arabia before.
Expert has a significant experience in cost-benefit analysis, which is a technique used to compare the various costs associated with an investment with the benefits that it proposes to return, having involved in plant expansion projects before.
Expert has an extensive experience in decision-making, which is the process taken by an individual to identify and select a course of action from among multiple alternative courses of action, having been a long time supervisor.
Expert has a significant experience in economic analysis, which is an approach taken by the manager to improve his decision making ability in evaluating the most economically efficient or cost-effective choice of project, having involved in plant expansion projects before.
Likewise, expert's career has been always associated with the energy, which is the capacity to do work, having involved in energy conversion from one form into another throughout his career that has spanned over three decades.
Likewise, expert has a significant experience in engineering economics, which is the application of economic principles to engineering problems analogous with economic analysis, having involved in plant expansion projects before.
Expert has an extraordinary experience in the operation and maintenance of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment, which artificially alter or control the temperature and humidity of a conditioned space, having worked in Saudi Arabia before.
Expert has an extraordinary experience in estimating the cooling/heating load of a conditioned space, specifying, and selection of the equipment involved to artificially alter or control the temperature and humidity of that particular space, having worked in Saudi Arabia before.
Expert has a significant experience in psychrometry, which deals with the properties of air-water vapor mixtures in the atmosphere and its principles, having worked in HVAC equipment design in Saudi Arabia.
Expert has the expertise in refrigerant recycling, which is a process of extracting refrigerant from a refrigeration system and cleaning the refrigerant for reuse, from his extensive refrigeration experience, and this expertise is backed up by his EPA Section 608 Universal Type Technician Certification.
Expert has an extensive experience in water pumping operations, which is one of the processes involved to supply potable water to consumers. Expert's water pumping experience includes operation and maintenance of electric and steam-powered water pumping stations, remotely controlling and monitoring of water pumping operations from the main control center using the SCADA system, and operation and troubleshooting of steam plant and turbine systems.
Expert has the expertise with the plenum, which is a sealed chamber in an HVAC system located at the inlet or outlet of an air handling unit where conditioned air collects before being distributed or returned through ductwork. He has applied this knowledge to evaluate the effect of blowing snow on the fan intake of the power system.
He has a significant experience in mechanical studies/design of mechanical systems such as sheet metal and angle bar bending machine, chilled water cooling coil, ice crusher, and poultry processing equipment having involved in plant expansion projects before.
Expert is a former adjunct faculty member for an online HVACR educational institution for quite some time. His innate ability to impart knowledge to others easily coupled with his mechanical engineering and information technology background made him good in the virtual classroom environment.
Expert's online experience at the University of Phoenix where he got his Master’s Degree in Computer Information Systems made him become Internet savvy, especially for research purposes. The whole time he was there, he would always use the Internet and the databases available through their virtual library to do research and write papers. He had online access 24/7 to a librarian, full-text online articles, as well as interlibrary loan and document delivery services and the wealth of information available were enormous and how incredibly easy it was to access and receive them. Researching online is the way to go for writing papers or doing research projects.
Calculated to evaluate the effect of blowing snow on the fan intake of the power system.
