Course Overview
This course is two days of theory and practical instruction in the lab. Students will have their new knowledge tested through quizzes, worksheets, classroom written assignments, and hands-on lab assignments. They will receive a Certificate of Completion from MCAS. This course covers:
Day 1: Advantages of Hydronic Systems
- Boilers, venting, and combustion air
- Pumps, air control, expansion tanks
- Valves, emitters (terminal units), controls, balancing
- Primary to secondary piping connections
- Heat loss calculations
A working hydronics board and computer software will be used to visually demonstrate many of the principles presented. Attendees will leave with a good understanding of how all the pieces in hydronics systems function and interact, be able to lay out these components in the correct order for proper operation, and be able to look at existing systems that have issues and correctly diagnose problems.
Day 2: Hydronic System Design
- Defining requirements, piping layout
- Selecting equipment, pipe/pump sizing
- Operating temperatures, control strategies
- Primary to secondary piping, pumping, and control
- Analyze temperature relationships
- Boiler controls, including code requirements for safety devices
- Variable speed pumping
- Troubleshooting techniques
- Basic electrical trouobleshooting
The group will design a system from scratch and receive Excel spreadsheet programs to do routine calculations for hydronic system design/analysis.
