Hands on Comprehensive Auto  Air Conditioning Class...

Including the latest important information regarding BAR/EPA mandates impacting California service repair garages, body shops and dealerships engaged in motor vehicle air conditioning repair.

What You Will Learn:

We have developed the most effective, practical and unique means of a/c motor vehicle training with the use of an air conditioning simulator creating a cutting edge, real world environment.

The motor vehicle training simulator is an actual motor vehicle, though only consisting of the motor vehicle's HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) related components with fully functional air conditioner, heater, defrost, etc.

We find that the student can better recognize and most importantly physically see how the HVAC components interact as a complete HVAC system.

With the use of the motor vehicle simulator as well as a variety of state of the art air conditioning service equipment and instruments the class will cover the following:

• Basic air conditioning theory

• Automotive air conditioning systems and operations

• Basic controls (i.e. compressor controls, evaporator controls & condenser/radiator controls)

• Basic diagnosis and troubleshooting techniques with the most common component failures

• Preventive scheduled maintenance

• R-12 to R-134A system retrofitting
