In this in-depth training session, Bert breaks down the concept of temperature split in air conditioning systems - a critical diagnostic tool that's often misunderstood. Bert will share his understanding of why the standard 20-degree rule of thumb exists and what causes deviations from this target.
Bert covers:
Why manufacturers design systems for a 20-degree temperature drop
How to diagnose high splits (25+ degrees) and what they indicate about airflow issues
Why low temperature splits occur and when they're actually normal
Using the measureQuick app to calculate target splits based on actual conditions
The relationship between refrigerant, airflow, and heat load
Common causes of airflow restrictions including dirty filters, clogged coils, and insulation problems
Troubleshooting real-world scenarios where standard rules don't apply
Whether you're diagnosing a failed TXV or trying to understand why your split numbers don't match expectations, this video provides practical knowledge you can apply immediately in the field. Stop replacing parts unnecessarily and learn to properly interpret what your temperature measurements are telling you about the system.
