Earn 8 PDH hours toward continuing education requirements
The HVAC industry is in a constant state of evolution – it can be challenging to keep pace with the changes.
To help engineers stay abreast of new developments, Maddock Industries is partnering with the Mestek Boiler Group, parent company of RBI, to host a free, one-day seminar on July 20, 2023. The seminar will dive deep into cutting-edge boiler technologies and explore how they relate to boiler room operation.
Participants will earn 8 PDH hours upon completion.
Modern Boiler Technology
John Wrobel, director of training and development for the Mestek Boiler Group, will present an in-depth overview of the latest developments in boiler technology. Participants will learn about the factors that impact boiler room operation – including combustion, hydraulic separation, venting, and dirt and air separation – and leave with a greater understanding of how to select the best boilers for specific applications.
Topics will include:
Boiler and Burner
- Combustion – fuel / air coupled burners
- The combustion triangle
- Turndown & flue gas dewpoint
- Combustion condensate – effects
Heat Exchangers
- Low mass watertube
- High mass firetube
- Types: stainless steel, copper, cupronickel & cast iron
- Air elimination, dirt separation & water quality
Venting
