· Level 1: EPA Section 608 certification program (2 days)

Course Overview

The EPA Section 608 Certification training program is a course designed to prepare technicians for the EPA Section 608 Technician Certification examination. This certification is a requirement under Section 608 of the Federal Clean Air Act for technicians who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of equipment containing regulated refrigerants. 

Course objectives

At the end of the class the technician will have the oppurtunity to take the EPA Section 608 exams and recieve their EPA Section 608 certification. Passing all four sections (Core, Type I, II, and III) leads to Universal Certification, which allows technicians to work on all types of refrigerated air dryers.

· Level 2: Refrigeration theory applied to refrigerated air dryers (2 days) 

Course Overview

A comprehensive understanding of the vapor compression refrigeration cycle is essential for HVACR technicians. Training covers the cycle's components (compressor, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator), refrigerant behavior, heat transfer principles, and troubleshooting techniques. Hands-on training often involves working with actual equipment and understanding how to diagnose and repair common issues. 

Hands-on training: The course also emphasizes practical experience through hands-on training with actual equipment, covering tasks like refrigerant recovery, evacuation, leak testing, and charging. This hands-on approach ensures technicians are ready to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios immediately after completing the program.

Course objectives

· Mastering the Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycle: Gaining a deep understanding of the four essential components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve (or metering device), and evaporator.

· Refrigerant Behavior and Heat Transfer: Learning about the various types of refrigerants and their properties, as well as the fundamental principles of heat transfer (sensible and latent heat, superheat and subcooling) within the refrigeration cycle.

· Troubleshooting and Maintenance: Acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnose and repair common issues and malfunctions in refrigerated air dryer systems, including analyzing pressure drops and refrigerant levels.

· Hands-on Training and Practical Skills: Developing practical proficiency in tasks such as refrigerant recovery, evacuation, leak testing, and charging, using actual equipment and following industry best practices to ensure safe and compliant handling of refrigerants. 

In essence, this course equips technicians with the theoretical knowledge and practical expertise required to effectively install, maintain, and troubleshoot refrigerated air dryer systems and their underlying refrigeration circuits. 

· Level 3: Troubleshooting moisture issues within a compressed air system (2 days) 

Course Overview

Eliminating moisture from compressed air systems is essential for preventing equipment damage and maintaining optimal performance. Key areas to address include the system piping, condensate drains, after coolers, filters, and air dryer functionality. 

This intensive two-day course is designed for maintenance personnel, technicians, and engineers seeking to identify, diagnose, and resolve moisture-related problems within industrial compressed air systems. The course emphasizes practical troubleshooting techniques and best practices to ensure optimal system performance and prevent equipment damage. 

Course objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

· Understand the causes and effects of moisture in compressed air systems.

· Identify key components susceptible to moisture-related issues (piping, drains, aftercoolers, filters, dryers).

· Troubleshoot condensate drain malfunctions (automatic vs. manual).

· Evaluate the effectiveness of aftercoolers and separators in moisture removal.

· Understand the principles and types of air dryers (refrigerated, desiccant) and their applications.

· Diagnose air dryer performance issues and implement corrective actions.

· Utilize dew point monitoring for proactive moisture control.
