The A/C Training System with TXV (EM-2000-TXV_052661) is a complete air conditioning system trainer designed to enhance the instruction of air conditioning physics. This trainer utilizes the TXV (Thermostatic Expansion Valve) design for refrigerant flow control and incorporates common automotive components, making it suitable for both classroom and shop environments. It features a hermetically sealed and internally protected compressor and operates on a 120V 15A 60Hz circuit. Students can observe refrigerant changes of state at the evaporator and condenser, see refrigerant liquid level at the receiver/dryer, connect the trainer to any A/C recycling/recovery equipment via R134a service ports, and introduce system restrictions and blockages for diagnostic learning. Adjustable fan speeds demonstrate typical performance issues, and removable magnetic labels aid in component identification and refrigerant flow understanding. Equipped with safety switches and protections, the trainer supports hands-on exploration of abnormal symptoms through adjustable cycling switches and ball valves.
