Brief                      The Class starts with an exhaustive definition of Air Conditioning.  This is followed by a critical discussion of pneumatic air supply and its maintenance.  This is followed by a comprehensive discussion of thermostats, which is the major focus of this class.  Just about every type of thermostat is discussed including the hardware, the settings, applications, operation, calibration, trouble shooting and maintenance.  The class also discusses the final control assemblies in pneumatics. 

Every training module is supported by in-depth review questions and hands-on lab exercises.

A major emphasis of the class is maintenance and repair of mechanical pneumatic systems.  The class is quite detailed and busy as it covers a very large set of topics. However, because of CITS exclusive training methodology the class moves at a relaxed pace without any stress for any student.
