SER028 - HVAC Mechanical Pro-Troubleshooting - FAD Approved
Class Description
This course teaches fundamental skills needed to troubleshoot residential and light commercial HVAC refrigeration system problems. Students will be shown time proven diagnostic techniques that they can apply immediately back on the job. The goal is to provide technicians with not only the skills and confidence to tackle any mechanical system malfunction (with emphasis on rapid and accurate discovery of the failed component), but also determining the root cause of the problem to eliminate repeat failures. This course was developed to be taken in conjunction with the HVAC Electrical Pro-Troubleshooting Course for complete troubleshooting proficiency, but can be taken as a stand-alone seminar if electrical troubleshooting techniques are already understood or are not needed. For technicians just entering the HVAC field or persons with no field experience this course is most effective when proceeded by the BASIC Program (SER400), which introduces participants to fundamental concepts of both air conditioning and heating systems, and includes much more 'hands on' lab time with service test equipment and tools.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Predict 'NORMAL' operating conditions for an HVAC residential system
- Calculate superheat and subcooling
- Apply and understand the use of pressure enthalpy diagrams
- Calculate refrigerant charge and understand the proper charging methods for HVAC systems
- Properly and safely use mechanical tools and test instruments associated with HVAC service
- Follow general HVAC safety rules and use appropriate safety equipment
- Measure air flow and calculate system cooling capacity
- Troubleshoot system cooling problems
- Follow EPA guidelines for refrigerant recovery
- Evacuate a mechanical refrigeration system in minimal time to industry accepted levels
- Test a system for acidity and follow system clean procedures
A cumulative score of 70% is required to pass this course. The score is a combination of attendance, class participation, and a demonstration of skills and knowledge through quizzes and/or work sessions.
Additional Accreditation: This course provides 3 credit hours from Onondaga Community College, a member of the State University of New York educational institution. (Credits may be transferable to other college degree programs.)
