Sponsored by OEX, once again automotive airconditioning expert Grant Hand from Australia will return to Auckland and Christchurch in late August and early September with his unique and informative series of one day presentations.
There are three courses: fundamentals of automotive airconditioning, analysis of automotive air conditioning, and earthmoving and agricultural air conditioning systems.
The basic course known as fundamentals of automotive airconditioning is a crucial one day seminar for all automotive technicians; whether they are new to the industry, or just haven’t had the opportunity to undertake comprehensive system pressure/ temperature diagnostic training before.
With the large variation of systems currently on the market, gauge recognition alone can no longer be relied upon to analyse charge rates, or perform system diagnostics according to Grant Hand.
The analysis of automotive air conditioning systems is an advanced diagnostic course which extends the basic fundamentals course. It covers full diagnostic techniques for all automotive and air conditioning systems currently fitted to road vehicles. This is an essential course for anybody involved in the service and repair of automotive air conditioning systems.
Comprehensive diagnostic manuals are provided, which will specifically address TX valve, expansion (orifice) tube systems and variable displacement compressors. This course also utilises a considerable amount of supervised practical and group work.
The earthmoving and agricultural air conditioning systems course is dedicated to the diagnosis and evaluation of mobile air conditioning systems that are used in off-road applications. These systems are in many cases different from ‘ordinary’ automotive systems, as they can often suffer from pressure drops, flow restrictions, incorrect pipe sizing or poor design that limit the capacity especially in high humidity conditions.
This course specifically addresses diagnostic procedures, pressure / temperature analysis, performance evaluation, capacity and efficiency analysis. A technician may have systems that lack performance, or that suffer from low capacity that cannot be repaired without a component replacement / modification.
The Auckland-based courses will be held at the Waipuna Hotel conference centre from Friday August 30 to Monday September 2, while the Christchurch-based courses will be held at Chateau on the Park from Friday September 6 to Monday September 9.
Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are supplied, for more details please call Paul Findlater on (09) 5730680.
