The training of technicians in the proper service and repair of
mobile air conditioning systems is at the heart of the Mobile Air
Conditioning Society's(MACS) Worldwide mission. MACS offers two
new training clinic curriculums for 2011; Mobile A/C System
Temperature Testing and the 2011 Mobile A/C Update Clinic.
In the new Mobile A/C System Temperature Testing class, attendees
will learn how to use temperature readings taken at various
locations throughout an A/C system, to pinpoint problems. This
in-depth program was developed by placing "bugs" in systems (both
orifice tube and expansion valve) that simulate often-encountered
real world situations. All "normal/good" and "abnormal/bugged"
conditions were photographically documented. The "results" of the
bugs, when matched up with the temperature readings taken, show
how things like under/over charge, internal restrictions, blocked
cabin air filters and condensers, and other improper conditions,
affect A/C system performance and operation.
Armed with the knowledge from this program, when confronted with
similar circumstances in the field, technicians will have a good
understanding concerning how to proceed with authoritative
diagnosis and effective repair.
The 2011 Mobile A/C Update Clinic is an annual collection of the
newest cutting edge service and repair information available to
the working technician.
Topics to be covered for 2011 include;
- Case studies - lessons learned
- Compressors without pistons - an in-depth report
- Electrical troubleshooting tips
- Engine coolant update (And It's a Big One!)
- Scanning and flashing GM vehicles,
- Those "Weird" alternator pulleys
- What's happening with the new refrigerant
- Working on hybrid HVAC systems
- And other MVAC repair related topics will also be
covered.
MACS trains on-demand at the request of interested repair
facilities, and will hold a limited number of scheduled classes
around the country and in Montreal and Toronto Canada in 2011. To
