AIR CONDITIONING TRAINERS FOR
LARGE VEHICLES
These air conditioning trainers have
been developed to allow training on split type air conditioning systems that are
commonly fitted to buses and large trucks. They are designed to clearly
demonstrate the function and operation of there large systems with a special
emphasis on controls, maintenance and troubleshooting.
The components are mounted on a large
mobile trolley work platform, which allows clear visibility and easy access to
the system for training.
There are two main types of systems
available, one with a diesel engine driven compressor and the other with an
electric drive for the compressor. All units come complete with a compressor,
evaporator with blower, condenser with fan, control panel with controls for the
thermostats and blowers. All tubing and connections are provided for an
operational system along with strategically placed hand valves, sight glasses
and thermometers. Hand valves can be used to isolate components in order to
induce variations into the operational system and to insert faults; the sight
glasses enable the student to observe the various conditions within the system.
The large vehicle air conditioning trainers are charged only with refrigerants
that comply with the Montreal protocol, mainly R22 and R134a and are therefore
environmentally friendly.
Comprehensive training material is
supplied with the trainers, operation manual, student manuals, and instructor’s
manuals.
