Purpose of Training

With the raising cost of energy and global warming looming in the wings, there is a question at hand. How do we minimize our cost of operating heating equipment, conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions (greenhouse gases) while maintaining heating performance?

The answer is, maximize the efficiency of existing furnaces and boilers, as well as verify the performance of newly installed high efficient equipment.

The only way to guarantee that a system is operating at maximum efficiency is to perform a combustion analysis and properly adjusting the air/fuel ratio.

This course is designed to provide the attendee with a full understanding of the combustion process, combustion test procedures and the adjustments required to maximize fuel efficiency.

Course Content

Attendees are provided a broad introduction to Combustion and Combustion Testing.

This an excellent overview for technicians, multi-craft trades people, building managers, or anyone interested in understanding the fundamentals of combustion.

Training Manual

The world has entered the 21st Century and the push to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is stronger than ever. With dwindling resources and an ever increasing demand for power, it is time to start taking the simple measures to make the changes needed to reduce the energy consumed by the fuel burning, emissions releasing appliances we work on every day. In this Manual We will address Carbon dioxide formation and release, carbon monoxide generation, Thermal heat transfer and flame temperature. Steps and procedures to increase efficiency and reduce emissions.

Readers should expect to increase their knowledge of combustion, the combustion process and combustion control. Topics such as the dynamics of Carbon Dioxide production. The release of heat and the Oxygen relationship.

Other topics will be the living breathing appliance how to ensure that your appliance is not suffocating. The combustion analysis manual is intended to raise the awareness about all things combustion and what all technicians should know being in the HVACR trade. Other topics covered will range from draft and venting of fuel fired appliances to heat transfer and what effects combustion has on Efficiency.
