Equipment Calibration @ SCE Energy Education Center, Irwindale
Feb 26 @ 8:00 am – 12:00 pm

This class will feature free equipment calibration. Attendees will have the opportunity to check HVAC, blower door and duct tester equipment calibrations. Instructor Gary Wollin will show attendees how to apply the principles for calibrating digital thermometers, refrigerant gauges (P/T) and pipe clamps used for checking pipe temperatures for both the liquid and suction lines. Attendees will be shown the field test procedure for digital manometers and be able to check personal manometers against newly calibrated manometers. Duct blaster inspections for proper airflow will also take place. There will be a demonstration on how to maintain duct blaster equipment including cleaning and checking for damage, and misalignment of the fan and plugged orifices.

Equipment Calibration @ SDG&E Energy Innovation Center, San Diego

Class Overview: A residential split system air conditioner undergoes its final assembly at the time of installation. An important factor is the amount of refrigerant in the system (commonly referred to as proper charging). Air conditioner energy efficiency suffers if the refrigerant charge is either too low or too high. This training is designed to assist Raters and HVAC technicians to properly perform a Refrigerant Charge verification. This is a Hands-on class with operational equipment. Please feel free to bring your verification equipment.
