I would like to ask the more experienced colleagues: what are the various tasks involved in the HVAC field within chemical engineering design firms, and which areas hold promise for career development? I just started working at a chemical engineering design firm, but I’m not sure about the nature of the work or my career prospects In particular, what are the tasks involved in the HVAC field? What software and design knowledge is necessary to master? (What is taught in school relates to architecture.) I hope those with more experience can share their insights!
Then go ahead and work on chemical pipeline design; it’s probably quite similar to your previous architectural work as well.
Reply to 2# Kikyo: I see there’s a “Piping Engineering Department” in the hospital; tasks like piping design fall under that department, right?

The main task of the HVAC specialty in design institutes is the design related to heating and ventilation in residential buildings. When you first start working at a design institute, you need to learn how to use CAD for drawing, read as many standards as possible, and seek advice from those with more experience.
Reply to 7# Leaf in the Autumn Wind: Oh, in that case, chemical engineering design institutes and architectural design institutes are pretty similar – both deal with things like building heating and ventilation. Logically speaking, chemical engineering design institutes should focus more on dust removal and ventilation! I saw that various types of furnaces are needed in the chemical industry; they’re quite large
Reply to 7# Leaf in the Autumn Wind: I’ve read a few posts these days, so let me summarize them, hehe. Basically, design institutes handle all kinds of projects, but each type has its own characteristics and distinct main areas of focus. The main tasks of various design institutes are as follows: Metalworking design institutes: deal with ventilation and dust removal, working on things like steel furnaces, rotary kilns, and other similar facilities, as well as factory buildings. Architectural design institutes: handle smaller-scale projects, usually focusing on civil construction, with an emphasis on heating systems； Large-scale projects; covers both industrial and residential applications, including residential heating and air conditioning for commercial buildings ； Factory ventilation: Medical design institutes prefer clean air conditioning systems; chemical design institutes: Not very familiar with this topic, don’t know the main aspects involved
Reply to 10# wangrj213: Chemical design institutes have specialized expertise and technical advantages in fields such as organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, petrochemicals, fine chemicals, coal chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides； It is also involved in design projects for industrial and civil buildings, as well as environmental protection.
Reply to 12# Leaf in the Autumn Wind: You specialize in oil and gas storage and transportation. Our major used to be part of the Department of Storage and Transportation, but later it became an independent department called the Department of Gas Engineering. I am aware of the technical expertise of chemical engineering design institutes, but I’m not quite clear about the tasks and main responsibilities related to HVAC in such institutes. . . . However, registration will be available in mid-January; we’ll know then, and we can talk to everyone again later!
Chemical process HVAC design primarily involves the heating and ventilation planning for factory buildings. As for dust removal, it depends on which design agency is involved; some have specific requirements while others do not.
