Thursday, JanuaRy 16 Passenger Car/Light Truck/Heavy Duty/Off Road Technical Classes Heavy Truck and Equipment HVAC Service • Blake Gordon (MoRninG only) SponSoRed By eaTon In addition to the basics of R/R/R in the heavy duty world, learn how to perform a nitrogen sweep, recharge using the sub-cooling method, and how to use a P/T chart to determine the correct charge on non-labeled systems, as in agricultural equipment. Also presented are tips for improving hvAC performance of “difficult” systems in vehicles used in special environments. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning Systems in Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and Electric Vehicles • Jack Rosebro (MoRninG & afTeRnoon) Most hybrid vehicles, and virtually all electric vehicles, use heating and air conditioning systems that can differ significantly from air conditioning systems in conventional vehicles. Many of these vehicles employ high-voltage electric air conditioning compressors, and some use active air conditioning systems and heating systems to control battery pack temperature. Electric vehicles typically use high-voltage heat exchangers to produce the heat that would normally be supplied to a conventional vehicle’s hvAC system by its engine. Jack Rosebro will discuss the operation, diagnosis, and repair of these systems, as well as other developments such as solar ventilation systems and app-driven remote air conditioning controls. Inputs, Outputs and Interior Comfort Controls • Jerry Mungle (mOrnIng & AfTErnOOn) • SponSoRed By acdelco have you ever wondered why the temperature actuator does not move when you change the temperature setting? What about that sensor in the headliner? how does it affect hvAC System and Temperature control performance? The “Interior Comfort Controls Seminar” presents hvAC system description and operation on vehicles from different manufacturers. This seminar covers the inputs and outputs that enable hvAC operation and describes how they affect system performance. Service techniques such as system diagnosis, actuator installation and calibration and other service procedures will also be covered. new Perspectives on HVAC Diagnosis • Richard Sheffield (MoRninG & afTeRnoon) Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been performing A/C diagnostics for years, this class is for you. Technology has advanced quickly and so have the diagnostic tools and techniques. Richard Sheffield will explain how to use refrigerant identifiers, pressure transducers, oscilloscopes, anemometers, scan tools, inspection cameras, contact thermocouples, and reliable service information to save time and increase accuracy, profitably and customer satisfaction. Bus Heating and air conditioning Systems – new Profit Opportunities • Jeff Kutler (AfTErnOOn Only) • SponSoRed By eaTon Are you hungry for new business in this changing economy? The school bus and motor coach market is an over $17 billion industry in north America. This presentation will describe some new opportunities to grab a piece of that big pie. The presentation includes an overview of bus and motor coach hvAC systems and individual components, including Bitzer compressors, dual air conditioning units, unloader valves, multiple evaporators, shut-off valves and TXvs. In addition to expanding product knowledge, you’ll also be introduced to Climate Control diagnostics on school buses and over-the-road coaches. The session will conclude with a Q & A.
