A/C Testing @ MACS
MACS
Hello Steve,
Thank you for hosting the Electronic Compressor & Temperature Testing Symposium on February 10 & 11, 2015. Even though electronically controlled compressors have been around for over ten years, we have just started
to see them showing up in appreciable numbers within the last year or so at
our customers' shops. Diagnostic and system operation strategy information from the OEMs and compressor manufacturers has been limited, and
as a result shops have been challenged when encountering A/C problems
in vehicles equipped with these compressors. In addition, because of their
sometimes different behavior from conventional systems, when it comes to
things like temperature differential on the condenser inlet and outlet, we
have been challenged from a training and tech support position to explain
and apply these abnormalities to diagnostics.
Five heads are better than one @ MACS test days!
Through our efforts, we learned a lot that can be utilized in both training
and technical support and are grateful to MACS for having held this event.
I'm hoping that we can get together in the future to do more testing and experiments. We plan to include a slide acknowledging MACS' contribution
to our training clinics this year, and appreciate also the participation of the
other MACS members in attendance: Dennis Husband of 1-800 Radiator
& A/C, Tim Iezzi of Iezzi's Auto Service, and Kerry Dibler of Stony Point
Auto A/C.
Regards,
MACS
