How to Teach Airflow and Static Pressure in the HVAC Classroom

How to Teach Airflow and Static Pressure in the HVAC Classroom

As an HVAC instructor, providing students with hands-on, practical experience is essential to their understanding of system performance and troubleshooting. The iConnect Training TU-406C Residential Heat Pump Trainer offers an exceptional teaching tool that allows students to explore real-world HVAC applications. With built-in learning tools like the X13 blower motor, amp draw box, and fault switch box, instructors can design lessons that emphasize critical skills in airflow management, component identification, and system diagnostics.


Here’s a breakdown of how you can use the TU-406C Residential Heat Pump training unit to create impactful lessons for your students:


1. Lesson on Amp Draw & Airflow Restrictions

Using the TRU Digital Kit’s amp draw measurement feature, instructors can easily create a lesson on how different airflow restrictions affect the blower motor on a residential heat pump. Set up the unit with varying levels of airflow blockage, and have students measure the amp draw of the motor under each condition. This hands-on approach helps students understand the relationship between system restrictions and motor performance, reinforcing the importance of airflow management.



Key Teaching Points:

  • How airflow restrictions impact the efficiency of an HVAC system.
  • Using amp draw readings to diagnose motor strain.
  • Practical understanding of blower motor performance under different conditions.
