Environmental Applications Learning System

Amatrol's Environmental Applications Learning System (T7083) is an educational module designed to complement the Air Conditioning / Heat Pump Operations Learning System (T7082) or the Air Conditioning / Heat Pump Troubleshooting Learning System (T7082A). It consists of a model house with insulation, siding, shingles, and a window. Learners use digital thermometers connected to temperature probes to understand how these elements influence a home's temperature. Components like ceiling fans, attic exhaust fans, attic vents, and window tint allow students to manipulate temperature and explore concepts like heat loads, insulation effectiveness, humidity, air movement, heat transfer, psychometrics, and heat pump sizing.

When integrated with an Air Conditioning / Heat Pump system via ducts, learners can measure and adjust the home's temperature, offering a unique HVAC and home construction learning experience.

The Environmental Applications system simulates environmental variables using heaters, humidifiers, and lights to teach temperature control skills and psychrometric chart plotting. It enables simultaneous monitoring of temperature levels at different house locations, including the floor, mid-room, ceiling, inner wall, and attic, with pre-mounted sensors connected to digital outputs for data accuracy.

This system also incorporates power switches for attic fans, ceiling fans, and attic heaters, allowing learners to practice airflow manipulation and assess attic conditioners' impact on thermal systems.

Amatrol's comprehensive curriculum covers thermal system performance, heat loads, insulation effectiveness, humidification, air handling systems, and heat pump sizing. It employs interactive multimedia, including text, audio, and 3D animations. Learners gain practical skills such as load estimation and heat pump system sizing.

The package includes a Thermal Systems 2 Student Reference Guide for further reference, consolidating technical content from the curriculum into a convenient booklet. This serves as a valuable resource for learners throughout their training.
