Airflow Before Charging
Join Bryan Orr at Polar Bear Air Conditioning as he breaks down the fundamentals of proper airflow verification before charging HVAC systems. In this essential training session, he covers: Basic visual ductwork assessment techniques The importance of proper air handler and controller setup Static pressure measurement best practices and common pitfalls Why CFM per ton matters in humid climates (350-325 CFM/ton recommended) Practical tips for duct sizing and system balancing The relationship between airflow and dehumidification Key takeaway: While airflow measurement can be complex, technicians must ensure proper airflow before charging to avoid system issues. Bryan provides practical, real-world advice for techs to validate airflow without getting overwhelmed by complex calculations. #HVAC #HVACTraining #Airflow #HVACTech #HVACR #TechTips #PolarBear Kwik Model 3D: https://kwikmodel.com/ You can find more on Polar Bear Air Conditioning at their Youtube channel: / @polarbearky Buy your tickets or learn more about the 6th Annual HVACR Training Symposium at https://hvacrschool.com/symposium.
