SER190 - Tech 2: Heat Pumps
Class Description
Learn how to troubleshoot, service and maintain heat pumps fast and accurately. Classroom sessions discuss the refrigeration, air, and electrical systems. Newly acquired skills are tested on operating equipment (units using Puron refrigerant, where available).
Students will learn to:
- Calculate the thermal and economic balance point
- Set up air handler for proper air flow
- Calculate and verify capacity in heating mode
- Charge a unit in cooling or heating mode
- Test defrost cycle and thermostat
- Test reversing valve for proper operation
- Test for proper heater and sequencer operation
- Read and interpret wiring diagrams for sequence of operation and isolate, test and prove component failure
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.
Suggested Prerequisites: HVAC Electrical and HVAC Mechanical Pro-Troubleshooting or equivalent experience. This is not an introductory-level class. Students should already know how to: interpret a PT chart, calculate superheat and subcooling, read and interpret basic wiring diagrams, troubleshoot electrical circuits (using proven methods), determine and measure appropriate airflow, electrically troubleshoot single and three-phase compressors, identify compressor circuits and troubleshoot PSC, CSR and three phase motors, and understand the basic refrigeration cycle including its major components and their function.
