Air Conditioning Systems Panel Trainer
Teach automotive HVAC systems through a desktop, hands-on learning system that covers the components, controls, and service procedures of automotive air conditioning systems. The Air Conditioning Systems Panel Trainer (754-01) allows students to investigate climate-control operation, airflow, electrical systems, system servicing, and automotive HVAC fault diagnosis.
The Air Conditioning Systems Panel Trainer (754-01) from LJ Create simulates a typical automotive air conditioning system, allowing students to investigate the system’s overall layout and configuration while working with controls for the vacuum system, electrical system, and recharging station.
This compact automotive HVAC trainer incorporates key automotive A/C components, including a compressor, condenser, evaporator core, suction accumulator, service valves, pressure switches, and air-distribution controls. Built-in fault-insertion capabilities simulate real-world system malfunctions, giving students opportunities to develop diagnostic and troubleshooting skills across airflow, electrical, and climate-control systems.
