  • Do-It-Yourself HVAC Apprentice Contest Basic Guidelines for Planning an Apprentice Contest
    PHCC Educational Foundation Do-It-Yourself HVAC Apprentice Contest Basic Guidelines for Planning an Apprentice Contest 1. Find volunteers! Members, teachers, technicians and inspectors all make good volunteers. 2. Designate a chairman or coordinator to run the contest. The role of chairman or coordinator can be done by anyone who is willing to volunteer and dedicate the time it takes to plan and administer the contest. He or she should have some HVAC background as well as the ability to answer technical questions about the contest. The chairman/coordinator is responsible for delegating all necessary job tasks. His/her decisions are final. Normally, the chairman/coordinator is the state or local apprenticeship committee chairman or an instructor at an apprentice school. 3. Set up a timeline or schedule of events. 4. Design the test and/or contest you will use. A sample contest has been provided at the end of this book. 5. Make a list of contest rules for the apprentices to follow. Provide this information with the registration form. 6. Make an agenda for the apprentices to follow. Include registration deadlines, time to arrive at the contest site and time of the awards presentation. 7. Find students to compete. Ideally, they should be PHCC apprentices and/or SkillsUSA students. You can have as few as three and as many as you feel you can handle. 8. Find a location for the contest. Some suggestions include outside under a tent, inside an exhibition hall, in a member’s shop or at the apprentice school. If you use an exhibition hall, please note that you may have to obtain a permit from the local fire marshal.

  • About Wiring Color
    About Wiring Color There is no official industry standard for wiring colors. However, the majority of manufacturers follow the common practices for installation. The following information is strictly for reference. Please be advised that the technician who did the previous installation of the thermostat may not incorporate conventional color coding for various reasons. Red for the R terminal. The R terminal is the power. This comes from the transformer usually located in the air handler for split systems but you may find the transformer in the condensing unit. For this reason, we advise turning off the power before adjusting the thermostat's wiring. Red for the RH terminal. RH – The RH terminal is designated for the power for heating when two transformers are used. See RC below for an explanation for the cooling. It should be noted that a jumper can be installed between RC and RH for a heating and cooling system equipped with a single transformer. It should be noted that a jumper wire can be installed between RC and RH for a heating and cooling system equipped with a single transformer. Red for the RC terminal. The RC terminal is designated to the cooling power source. Some HVAC systems consist of two transformers, one for cooling and the other for heating. In this case the power from the transformer in the air conditioning system would go to the thermostat terminal RC. It should be noted that a jumper wire can be installed between RC and RH for a heating and cooling system equipped with a single transformer.

Instead of burning fossil fuels, they operate on the same principle as your refrigerator: using a refrigerant cycle, powered by electricity, to move heat and to keep your home at a comfortable temperature year round. They are much more efficient than electric resistance (electric baseboard) heating and also provide highly efficient air conditioning. Outdoor Unit Indoor Unit Air-source heat pump systems feature an outdoor unit (containing a compressor, reversing valve, heat exchanger and expansion device) connected to one or more indoor units by small refrigerant piping. The refrigerant is a substance with properties that enable it to easily absorb and release heat.
