Mobile Air Conditioning Society Offer Clinic with TCCI Manufacturing and Daniel Spurgeon from CAT

Decatur, IL, May 07, 2015 --(PR.com)-- T/CCI Manufacturing will offer an upcoming MACS (Mobile Air Conditioning Society) Clinic, featuring CAT vehicle service and T/CCI climatic wind tunnel technology. This mobile A/C clinic will be hands-on and diagnostics-centered, perfect for heavy duty and off-road vehicle A/C technicians. The event is being held on May 29, 2015 in Decatur, IL. Registration for MACS members is $75 and $125 for non-members. Register at www.macsw.org or call 215/631-7020 x 306.

During this unique service demonstration T/CCI Manufacturing will provide a real charge determination of a “normal” passenger vehicle including allowing participants to plot pressure temperatures, superheat and sub-cooling. Using the same vehicle and climatic wind tunnel will continue the charge determination into an “overcharged” condition to demonstrate the effect on not properly compensating for residual oil in the system. T/CCI will then pull charge and oil from the same system which will dramatically show the effect of reduced refrigerant and oil charge. T/CCI will facilitate the walk-through of the climatic wind tunnel to demonstrate severe cooling conditions.

Daniel Spurgeon from Caterpillar will cover the following topics focusing on service for CAT vehicles:
· Review importance of pulling a deep vacuum
· Refrigerant recovery, system evacuation, and recharge procedure
· Leak detection importance; comparison of different methods
· Review conditioner groups from several machine products (plan to have several units on display)
· Review of individual system components and their function (dryers, accumulators, expansion devices, and more.)
