HVAC DYNAMICS Classes Education and Consulting for Industry Professionals Thank you for your interest in our classes. The “Course Information” hopefully covers most of the questions you may have on providing our classes for you organization. This is followed by the “Course Listing” which describes in detail what each class provides. If you have any questions not answered here please feel free to call or e-mail at any time. Course Information Currently all classes are provided on-site at your place of business or a rented facility in your area. This means that we travel to you, which reduces travel expenses to one person for the entire class. Class pricing is available upon request. Travel and lodging expenses will be discussed at that time. HVAC Dynamics can provide classes anywhere in the United States. Classes can be modified from the curriculum listed below to include hands on training (if equipment is provided) or to focus on specific training needs covered in the curriculum including customer service as it relates to each topic. Classes are typically provided on week days. Saturday classes may be available upon request. Course Listings Air Conditioning Tech I (8 hour course, includes a manual) This course covers all of the fundamentals necessary to understand air conditioning systems. For technicians new to the industry, this is the course to start with. Seasoned technicians will find this course very enlightening and educational, or at least a valuable refresher. It is also a great course for non-technical employees looking to gain a better understanding of the industry they work in. Subject matter includes the fundamentals of heat transfer, properties of air and refrigerants, the refrigeration process, electrical components and sequence of operation, residential airflow systems, air conditioning components and system variations, understanding system sizing and efficiency ratings.   Air Conditioning Tech II (8 hour course, includes a manual) This course provides the practical application and understanding of safety, tools and meters, refrigerants, refrigerant balancing, air flow and electrical components needed for the maintenance, service and installation of air conditioning systems. Knowledge of the fundamentals covered in A/C Tech I and some field experience are highly recommended to fully grasp the material in this course. Since customer service is a huge part of this industry, customer relations, preventative maintenance, and system upgrades are also covered here. EPA Section 608 Technician Certification Course and Examination (6 hour course and 2 hour test session, includes a manual. The manual can be pre-purchased for study.) This course will prepare new and existing technicians for the EPA Section 608 Core, Type I, II, & III exams. The technicians can choose which exams they wish to take or they can take all for Universal Certification. EPA Section 608 regulations will be covered in addition to basic refrigeration, refrigerants, recovery, evacuation and safety.   Basic Electricity I (8 hour course, includes a manual) This course begins with an introduction to electron theory and discusses conductor and insulator properties. Continues with a thorough discussion of electrical components & symbols followed by how to read and develop simple wiring diagrams. In this class attendees will become familiar with basic electrical terms, components, proper symbols, and circuits found in the HVAC industry. This course is a must have for new technicians. Since electricity is such a large portion of troubleshooting and installation this course is also a great refresher at any point in an HVAC technician’s career. All of the air conditioning and heating courses offered by HVAC DYNAMICS will build off of the electrical knowledge base in this course.    Basic Electricity II (8 hours, includes a manual) In this class, attendees will learn how to troubleshoot basic HVAC circuits and components. The attendee will also learn to read and understand wiring schematics in troubleshooting HVAC equipment. The course will also cover electric meters and their uses, alternating current fundamentals, motor fundamentals & motor protection, and electrical troubleshooting. Attendees should have some knowledge of electricity or have taken Basic Electricity I.   ECM (Variable Speed) Blower Motors (6 - 8 hour course, includes a manual) Currently, almost all manufacture’s that use ECM blower motors are using motors built by GE ECM by Regal-Beloit. This course will help bridge the gap between complex electronics and simple set-up, diagnostics and repair of variable-speed technology. It will also cover how the motors are programmed, basic ECM technology, and how the motor is able to achieve constant airflow, in addition to the efficiency and comfort benefits of using ECM motors and two stage HVAC equipment. The knowledge gained in this course will help all technicians, install, service and maintenance, build confidence and competence when working with ECM motors. For more information on this course and GE ECM by Regal-Beloit ECM motors, tools and training please visit their website at www.theDealerToolbox.com.    NATE Refresher Course (8 hour course, RSES NATE Reference Manual recommended, manuals are available for pre-purchase through RSES and HVAC DYNAMICS, and on the day of the course.)   This course is designed to be a refresher for technicians that have been in the field for a minimum of 2 to 3 years and have had some formal education in HVAC. Core information as well as electrical, tools and measurements, installation, design, codes, safety and regulations, and air distribution will be covered in practice tests for all NATE exams in both Service and Installation Specialty. In addition one specialty practice test will be covered.   NATE Proctored Test Session (4 hours) This test session can run on a consecutive day with the NATE Refresher Course or stand alone. No materials are needed or allowed. Typically two of any of the exams can be finished in one four hour test session. Two week pre-registration is required for ordering of the tests.     NEVER STOP LEARNING!!! Christopher A.
