Here are some of our favorite videos from HVAC School
Eugene Silberstein and Jason Obrzut from ESCO Institute (and RACT manual co-authors) were two speakers at the 4th Annual HVACR Training Symposium. In this video, they have a conversation with Bert about the event and also share some valuable practical tips for HVAC techs.
Ty Branaman gives some of his insight about educating & training Gen Z. He gave this presentation at the 4th Annual HVACR Training Symposium, and you can still buy tickets to access all sessions virtually.
At the 4th Annual HVACR Training Symposium, Bert checks in with Jim Fultz from Emerson White-Rodgers, who demonstrates the capabilities of the new 50M56X-843 Integrated Furnace Controls Universal Replacement. The two also say a few words about the Emerson White-Rodgers Universal Premium Flame Sensor and All-Spark ignition module.
This 3D video shows how to do an air handler install for a heat pump system. It is a companion piece to our condenser 3D install video ( • Condenser Install 3D ) and is primarily based on best practices for our Central Florida market.
Before you leave the shop, ensure that you have the proper equipment, tools, and supplies. The model number needs to match the one on the proposal, and you need to make sure that you have all of your duct fabrication materials.
Eugene Silberstein, a co-author of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology (RACT manual), joins the podcast to give us an intro to psychrometrics. Psychrometrics focuses on the properties of air and its contents, especially as they relate to human comfort.
To understand psychrometrics, we need to be able to quantify air: its weight, humidity, pressure, etc. We can do a better job as technicians if we figure out the air’s content and see how it relates to the CFM and overall unit performance. That way, we can have a more holistic view of HVAC performance instead of just focusing on adding or recovering refrigerant to improve performance.
This video stems from the HVAC School podcast where Jason Obrzut discusses Big Refrigerant Changes to A2L. Jason is a member of AHRI’s Safe Refrigerant Transition Task Force and author of the RACT manual.
