    Description
    This course involves a series of demonstrations and lab projects to provide identification, knowledge and understanding of the safe operation of comfort heating equipment and systems. Readings from combustion analyzers are used to evaluate the combustion process of various fuels, their heat output, analysis of bi-products, equipment capacity and combustion efficiency. The course includes design, maintenance training and practice on common types of comfort heating systems, including forced-air gas-fired and oil-fired furnaces, boilers, furnaces, heatpump fancoils, hydronic heating and integrated conventional and alternative energy systems. This course is intended for students pursuing certificates or an associate degree in Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Environmental Control Technology.
