COMBUSTION BASICS AND IGNITION SYSTEMS
1 Session, 6 Hours Total. This six-hour class explores the basics of combustion. Students will learn what combustion is, its causes, how to control it, and the types of air necessary for combustion to occur. Students will also discover the products of combustion in flues and venting systems, and the different types of heating systems that technicians need to understand. The class will define and discuss several buzz words like “Nox”, and also answer questions about “CO” and “CO2″, and how they accumulate in stack and flues. Different types of ignition systems will be discussed. Students will be divided into groups for hands-on exercises.
MOTOR BASICS W/METER
1 Session, 4 Hours Total. Students will receive a SUPCO M500 Megger when attending this seminar. Students will be instructed in some of the basic motor types, as well as the categories of the insulation in the motors. Discussion on why the newer motors need better insulation and the proper techniques to “Megging” a motor. A Megger can also detect wiring problems in conduit. This is an important tool in diagnosing grounded compressor motors, deteriorating insulation in electric motors and insulated wires.
