Need suggestions for new design engineer 2

[Ezekiel55]

Hello esteemed and experienced HVAC Engineers,

I am Ezekiel from India and I am new to mechanical designing field. As there is a lot to know about, I am a bit overwhelmed with it (ASHRAE 62.1, 90.1, handbooks, designing books, etc). I have no idea what to study first, and how to process it.

At present, I know a bit from here and there (like Heating load calculation, static pr. calculation, duct and pipe sizing, etc), but I am not satisfied with my present knowledge as I dont have exact reference that how it came or any book reference (in particular like page no .... for ventilation or page no ...... for u value for walls etc).

I have few books which I got from internet like ASHRAE Handbooks (except HVAC Systems and Equipment), ASHRAE standard 62.1, 90.1, 140, 188, AC System Design Manual (ASHRAE Special Publications) and some other RAC and HVAC Design books.

I really want to learn badly but have no guidance.

Can you please help me in learning thing? Can you please suggest me how and what to study first or how to move forward in HVAC designing field, as you sure have gone through this phase.

Really hoping to get some answers form this group, if you can understand this feeling which I have right now.

Thanks in advance.

Ezekiel

You need to get a job in a consulting firm. The best place to learn is from older engineers. If you have a job at a firm, and these are still your questions, then you should go find a new firm where they are willing to teach younger engineers.

In addition to HVACMech's comment, you will need to research and learn what it takes to be ale to practice HVAC engineering in India. Here in the USA, there is a process of getting an education, "internship" (for lack of a better term), testing and licensing.

This business of "internship" is worse than slave labor of the young. At least with slave labor there is payment for labor. With internship there is no payment and it is sold as "getting experience". Only in America. It is out of control

I don't know... both of my engineering internships were paid, and at my company we have several interns every year and they are paid. I think it depends on the field and location.

an internship may be an entrance, hopefully paid. If they pay you, they are also interested in you getting knowledgeable. Unfortunately in some countries internships are just exploitation.
try to get an entry level job.
Learn from the people in the field, installers, maintenance staff...

New skills are developed when tackling new types of problems. There are many types of HVAC problems from residential, office fitouts to specialised projects likes labratories and pharma jobs. Reading standards and design guides can be very dry without a real problem to tackle. As others have suggested, that best way to learn is to join a company that tackles the types of problems you are interested in.
