Boilers are fuel-burning appliances that produce either hot water or steam that gets circulated through piping for heating or process uses. The boiler operator is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the boiler system and with proper maintenance, a hot water boiler will provide reliable heat and hot water to facilities for many years. This interactive online course explains how a boiler works and the different types of boilers. It describes the responsibilities of a hot water boiler operator and the short- and long-term inspections and maintenance for boiler systems.

The purpose of a steam boiler is to create steam by applying heat energy to water. The most common source of heat is that from the combustion of an organic fuel like natural gas, fuel oil or coal. The value of steam in a commercial building is that it is an effective medium for distributing heat throughout a building or even a group of buildings. The combination of a steam boiler and steam distribution system means that all the heat generation can be done efficiently in one location and the steam can be easily distributed to all of the places it is needed for heating. In this interactive online course, we will discuss the function of boilers and steam. We will cover different types of boilers, including fire tube boilers and water tube boilers. We will also discuss combustion and steam traps.

Heating systems are one of the many ubiquitous conveniences of modern life. For many of us, central heating systems have always been a part of our lives. We only seem to notice heating systems when they are malfunctioning. Yet it took inventors and scientists to discover and understand heat transfer to then apply these principals for us to depend upon reliable heating systems. It behooves design engineers, operators and maintenance personnel to have a basic understanding of a few heat transfer concepts to ensure proper operation of heating systems. This interactive online course will discuss three types of heat transfer; convection, conduction and radiation. It will show how heating systems operate utilizing these forms of heat transfer acting in concert with each other. The operation of hot water and steam boilers along with electric heater will be examined. Finally, a brief explanation of controls for heating system will be presented.

Did you know without proper control of boiler water chemistry, corrosion, scale buildup and fouling of boiler tubes can occur which will impact boiler efficiency and may result in tube failures? Boilers are a common device for converting fuel into heat by burning fuels for heating water and generating steam for heating and powering equipment. The two general types of boilers are hot water boilers and steam boilers The water used in boilers has to process the correct chemical makeup to prevent corrosion, scaling and fouling of boiler internal parts. This interactive online course covers the theory of heat transfer. It will cover the three laws of Thermodynamics, methods of heat transfer, how heat is measured and the pressure -temperature relationships in heating systems.
