Basic Heating

Various oil burner designs will be studied. Each major oil burner component will be examined as to its function, operation, testing and replacement. Pipe fitting practices will be explained and demonstrated. Chimneys and alternate venting methods will be presented. Draft, combustion chambers, boiler construction, combustion testing and schematic reading are all covered in detail in this training. The participant will also receive information on operation, location, testing and replacement of the most common types of thermostats and primary controls.

Basic Heating Lab

This training provides experience through laboratory projects in the servicing, repairing, testing, analyzing, installing, and replacement of oil burner components. The wiring and servicing of burner controls, fabricating soldered joints, and cutting and threading pipe are some of the projects that will be available.

Heating Systems Theory

Participants study the design, construction and operation of gravity and forced warm air systems, domestic hot water heaters as well as steam systems and accessories. The training also covers the understanding of forced hot water system components and controls. Heat loss calculation and design a forced hot water system are also presented.

Heating Systems Lab

Participants service steam, hot water, and warm air heating systems in the laboratory. Accessories and energy-conservation devices are installed as part of the participant's lab work. Troubleshooting procedures are analyzed on the burners. Complete combustion testing is done in one of the approximately forty units. Participants make recommendations to improve the operation of these units.
