Boiler & Heat Reclaim

HWS/LPS Boilers for Applied/Industrial or Engineered applications

This HVAC Mechanics & Service Engineers course is an in-depth Training on heated-water and low-pressure steam boilers, this custom Class will also cover heat reclaim including absorption chiller pairing. The Class will also prepare the Techs to pass their respective Boiler Operator exams.

- Boilers - 

Knowledge in the operation, maintenance, repair, and economics of basic systems including the use of steam, the energy source to produce the steam, the distinction between industrial and utility boilers, and a good concept of how steam is generated from a heat source other than combustion within a boiler 

a. Steam Cycle - The Boiler Operator should know the Rankine Cycle, the effects of reheat cycles, and regenerative feed water heating. 

b. Fuel/Energy Source - The Boiler Operator should know the types of fossil fuels used in a boiler, coal, oil, and gas as well as the heat derived from nuclear fuel such as uranium. 

c. Utility Boilers - The Boiler Operator should know that utility boilers are those plants that generally supply electricity to most of the United States. These boilers are most often fired with coal but are also fired with fuel oil and gas. Utility boilers have reheat cycles and require very elaborate water treatment systems. 

d. Industrial Boilers - The Boiler Operator should know industrial boilers are most often used for process steam, such as heating, driving operating turbines, for fans or pumps, and other process work. 

e. Cogeneration - The Boiler Operator should know that cogeneration is a system in which fuel is used to produce energy and the heat from the fuel is then directed to be used by a boiler to conserve energy and achieve the maximum efficiency from the heat generated.

Carrier Centrifugal Chiller Fundamentals

CAS Chillers - Centrifugal for Applied/Industrial or Engineered applications

Location: Phoenix AZ

Dates: Week Of 24JUN2024

Centrifugal chillers represent a significant HVAC investment for the building owner, and each type of machine requires specific operating, servicing, and maintenance practices to protect the investment. This course is intended for HVAC Mechanics & Service Engineers of Carrier 19-series centrifugal chillers. The course covers the fundamental principles of centrifugal chillers with in-depth coverage of the operation and service techniques associated with most Carrier centrifugal chillers produced over the last 30 years. Carrier chiller models covered include 19D low-pressure chillers and 19E, F, 19XL, XR, and 19XRV high-pressure chillers. Participants learn how to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and service both the low- and high-pressure machines (including PIC controls). Studies include centrifugal refrigeration cycles, compressor theory, lubrication cycles, purge operation, refrigerants, heat exchangers, and heat transfer. The course also covers troubleshooting techniques and equipment needed to record and analyze machine temperatures and pressures; performance using heat exchanger approaches; waterside flow rate analysis; maintenance requirements; and logging machine data. This course is classroom instruction and includes numerous exercises using the classroom information to analyze performance. Successful completion of this course is required to attend the SER 130 Centrifugal Disassembly and Reassembly course. This course is for HVAC Mechanics & Service Engineers with a minimum of one year of field experience or a graduate of an HVAC training program. Students are expected to have basic math skills and a basic understanding of HVAC tools (gages and digital thermometers) and troubleshooting equipment.
