HVAC 5 - Central Air Conditioning: Principles & Performance

Wednesday, August 16, 2006  ·  3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

You’ve just replaced the existing heating unit with a new high efficiency furnace. How do you know if the central air conditioning system has been adversely affected? What can you do to evaluate an air conditioning system with noninvasive techniques? What are the implications of replacing a central AC system with a SEER 13 model?
 
By attending this session, participants will
 
  1. Understand how central air conditioning and heat pump systems work
  2. Find ways to check systems without certification for refrigerants
  3. Recognize the technical opportunities to improve air conditioning performance
 
KEYWORDS: air conditioning, airflow, central air conditioning, comfort, concepts, condensing unit, diagnostics, distribution system, efficiency, heat pumps, refrigerant charge, SEER 13, temperature rise, troubleshooting, visual inspection
