This hands-on training program equips students with practical experience using actual equipment, such as heat pump condensers, air handlers, Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats, fuse boxes, ducting, and manifold components.
Complementing the hands-on aspect is Amatrol's interactive multimedia eLearning curriculum, which covers a wide array of fundamental topics related to residential heat pumps. These topics include thermostat operation, pressure and temperature measurements, component testing, and system troubleshooting.
The T7100 learning system offers a unique opportunity for students to engage with real-world HVAC/R equipment, featuring transparent housings, pipes, and ducting with LED illumination for enhanced understanding. Moreover, it incorporates FaultPro, Amatrol's exclusive electronic fault insertion system, enabling learners to simulate over 25 mechanical and electrical faults. This facilitates realistic troubleshooting scenarios, fostering critical problem-solving skills in a safe and controlled environment.
The interactive multimedia curriculum augments the hands-on experience with engaging 3D graphics, videos, voiceovers, quizzes, and exercises, catering to diverse learning styles. It covers crucial aspects of residential heat pump systems, such as electronic thermostat operation, pressure and temperature measurements, component testing, and troubleshooting.
Ultimately, this program equips students with the knowledge and hands-on skills required to operate heat pumps effectively, measure thermal system pressures with gauge manifolds, determine system charging using subcooling methods, test thermostatic expansion valves, and troubleshoot cooling deficiencies. Additionally, a Student Reference Guide, derived from the curriculum, provides a valuable reference tool for learners as they progress in their HVAC/R careers.
Amatrol's Environmental Applications Learning System (T7083) is an educational module designed to complement the Air Conditioning / Heat Pump Operations Learning System (T7082) or the Air Conditioning / Heat Pump Troubleshooting Learning System (T7082A). It consists of a model house with insulation, siding, shingles, and a window. Learners use digital thermometers connected to temperature probes to understand how these elements influence a home's temperature. Components like ceiling fans, attic exhaust fans, attic vents, and window tint allow students to manipulate temperature and explore concepts like heat loads, insulation effectiveness, humidity, air movement, heat transfer, psychometrics, and heat pump sizing.
When integrated with an Air Conditioning / Heat Pump system via ducts, learners can measure and adjust the home's temperature, offering a unique HVAC and home construction learning experience.
The Environmental Applications system simulates environmental variables using heaters, humidifiers, and lights to teach temperature control skills and psychrometric chart plotting. It enables simultaneous monitoring of temperature levels at different house locations, including the floor, mid-room, ceiling, inner wall, and attic, with pre-mounted sensors connected to digital outputs for data accuracy.
This system also incorporates power switches for attic fans, ceiling fans, and attic heaters, allowing learners to practice airflow manipulation and assess attic conditioners' impact on thermal systems.
Amatrol's comprehensive curriculum covers thermal system performance, heat loads, insulation effectiveness, humidification, air handling systems, and heat pump sizing. It employs interactive multimedia, including text, audio, and 3D animations. Learners gain practical skills such as load estimation and heat pump system sizing.
The package includes a Thermal Systems 2 Student Reference Guide for further reference, consolidating technical content from the curriculum into a convenient booklet. This serves as a valuable resource for learners throughout their training.
General Motors faced a challenge with heavy steel "risers" on an overhead conveyor system, hampering efficiency. Rather than choosing aluminum, they innovatively opted for 3D-printed nylon polymer with carbon fiber reinforcement, reducing weight by 32% and cutting lead time by 75%. This shift from traditional metal to polymer in 3D printing aligns with a growing trend in the automotive industry.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers diverse advantages for autos. To maximize its potential, choosing the right AM technology is crucial. Our companion Solution Guide, "How to Choose the Right 3D Printing Technology for Automotive Manufacturing," delves into this topic. When it comes to materials, polymer 3D printing stands out, offering:
- Fewer resource constraints
- Accessibility and ease of use
- A wide range of materials at various price points
- Lightweight yet strong alternatives to metal
We understand that the abundance of polymer options can be daunting. That's why our Solution Guide is here to help. It highlights suitable Stratasys AM technologies and materials for different automotive production phases, including Product Development, Production Support, and Part Production. Got questions?
