'Technology needs technicians, and the ability to harness technical diagnosis calls for a Master Technician’. The rapid growth in technology used in the production of cars has highlighted the need for a different approach to vehicle diagnosis and repair. The integration of complex electronic control with mechanical systems shows the brilliance in the engineering capabilities of designers and manufacturers. While this technology has improved the comfort, safety, convenience and reliability of vehicles, it has also created an issue with established methods of maintenance and repair. As many of the control systems operate beyond our natural capabilities, diagnostic tooling is required to undertake most of the fault finding duties traditionally conducted by vehicle technicians. Also, the sophisticated nature of advanced system faults will often lead to diagnostic requirements for which there is no prescribed method. One of the fundamental roles of a Master Technician will be the diagnosis and repair of these complex and advanced system faults, for which diagnostic approaches need to be developed that can provide logical strategies to reduce overall diagnostic time. An effective diagnostic routine should always begin with a logical assessment of symptoms and then uses reasoning to reduce the possible number of options, before following a systematic approach to finding and fixing the root cause. Contents listing Chapter 1 Master Technician and the Psychology of Diagnosis Chapter 2 Advanced Internal Combustion Engine Technology Chapter 3 Advanced Vehicle Driveline and Chassis Technology Chapter 4 Advanced Vehicle Body Electrics Chapter 5 Alternative Fuel Vehicles Chapter 6 Providing Technical Support and Advice to Colleagues in Motor Vehicle Environments Chapter 7 Liaising with Vehicle Product Manufacturers and Suppliers on Technical Matters Chapter 8 Diagnostic Consultations with Customers in Motor Vehicle Environments Chapter 9 Fundamental Management Principles in the Automotive Industry Glossary and Index This book offers: Ideal support for learners and tutors undertaking automotive qualifications. Information to help cover the knowledge requirements for Level 4 Master Technicians. A large number of illustrations to support knowledge and understanding. Principles of Light Vehicle Air Conditioning
‘As the number of vehicles on the world’s roads rises, the demand for increased levels of comfort and convenience also grows’ While air conditioning and climate control may be seen as a luxury by some, the key benefits often outweigh the initial costs and resources required to implement these systems on newly produced vehicles; in fact most new cars come with some form of air conditioning as standard. An environment which helps keep the driver and passengers comfortable and alert, maintaining the correct levels of ventilation and humidity, can increase concentration and the ability to devote more of their attention to the occupation of driving. The downside of these systems is the environmental impact of the chemicals used to provide the refrigeration process. Globally, anthropogenic, or ‘man-made’ emissions are believed to be the key factor in climate change and refrigerants have a larger influence than many others. Small amounts of fluorinated gasses released to atmosphere may be causing irreparable damage to our planet, initiating ozone depletion and global warming. Although many organisations are currently seeking alternatives to these harmful cocktails, at the present time we are restricted by the availability, cost and technology required to make viable replacements. This means that for the time being, technicians and air conditioning professionals need to ensure that refrigerants are handled with due diligence and systems are maintained to the highest standards in order to contain and reduce emissions. Remember these chemicals only become dangerous when released to atmosphere. This book will help provide a knowledge and understanding of air conditioning and climate control, giving you the opportunity to work on these systems using prescribed methods and techniques proven to reduce the accidental release of refrigerants to atmosphere. Contents listing Chapter 1 Refrigerant Handling Chapter 2 Mobile Air Conditioning Principles Chapter 3 Diagnostics for Mobile Air Conditioning and Climate Control Common Acronyms and Abbreviations Appendix and DIN Numbers This book offers: Ideal support for learners and tutors undertaking automotive qualifications. Information to help cover the knowledge requirements for refrigerant handling and climate control. A large number of illustrations to support knowledge and understanding. |
