Students will learn how to install systems by selecting, preparing, mounting and connecting solar thermal components using copper tubing, PVC piping, and electrical wiring. Students will create and commission complete working systems, just as they would do on the job.
The Solar Thermal Installation training system includes a mobile workstation with solar thermal components; solar thermal collectors; PC-based interactive, multimedia student curriculum; and teacher’s guide. The mobile workstation is equipped with shadow boards for component storage, a benchtop worksurface and vise for tubing preparation, and mounting surface for assembly of solar thermal systems.
Amatrol’s Solar Thermal Troubleshooting – Open-Loop Learning System features a wide variety of industry-standard solar thermal equipment to teach relevant hands-on skills. For example, the 950-STOL1 includes a mobile workstation with a digital differential controller; AC and DC centrifugal pumps; temperature probes; check valves; flow meters; relief valves; vacation bypass; tempering valves; solar storage tank; multiple component circuit panels; photovoltaic panel; and two solar collectors.
Learners using Amatrol’s eLearning will find that its comprehensive, detailed curriculum teaches both the foundational knowledge and practical hands-on skills they need to troubleshoot both draindown and pressurized open-loop solar thermal systems. It will also help students and workers prepare for solar certifications from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), the premier solar technology certification organization.
Wind turbine electric hubs present unique operational and maintenance challenges. Wind turbine technicians must pinpoint and resolve a wide variety of situations where the hub is key, especially in changing load conditions. The turbine electric hub troubleshooting and problem solving skills have to be excellent to keep wind turbines operational.
