Basic Climate Control Introduction
Introduction
•
A/C ( A ir C onditioning) has been available for automobiles since the 1930’s. Here in
Europe in the last five years there has been a large increase in the number of vehicles
equipped with A/C. This course does not just cover air conditioning, but also the heating
system, hence the name
Basic Climate Control . The climate control system in a vehicle
does not only ensure the comfort of the passengers, there is also a safety aspect.
Without a properly functioning climate control system, it might not be possible to keep
the windscreen free from misting up during damp or cool weather.
•
Mazda uses two different A/C systems on its vehicles; a system using an expansion
valve, and a system using a fixed orifice. The components and operation of both systems
will be covered.
•
The majority of Mazda vehicles currently sold in Europe are equipped with an A/C
system. On some models A/C is standard.
•
Diagnosing and repairing climate control system related concerns requires working with
a refrigerant under pressure. Improper handling of the refrigerant could lead to serious
injuries. Follow the safety guidelines both here in this training manual, and in the service
literature. This course is a theoretical and practical guide to gain general and Mazda
specific knowledge about the different climate control systems, including their
components, function, and diagnosis.
•
Anyone associated with the diagnosis and repair of climate control systems must have
the knowledge to deliver a “Fix it right first time” repair. Therefore, the Mazda Masters
development and qualification path provides the following training courses required for
servicing and diagnosing climate control systems:
–
Basic Climate Control CT-L1005
–
Advanced Climate Control CT-L2009
•
The ranking of this course within the Mazda Masters educational system is Level 1 –
‘Mazda Technician’. It is intended for technicians who already have experience in
maintaining and repairing Mazda vehicles and have previously attended the course
“New-To-Mazda” CT-L1001.
