Boiler Types and Applications
This course is relevant to engineers who design
steam systems, as well as any engineer interested in learning
more about the types of boilers available and their
applications. No prerequisite course is required to take this
introductory course on boilers. - 2 PDH
Steam System Basics
Steam has many performance advantages that make
it an attractive means of delivering energy including low
toxicity, ease of transportability, high efficiency, high heat
capacity and low cost relative to other alternatives. This
course is relevant to engineers with little knowledge of steam
systems, who are interested in expanding their knowledge base,
as well as steam system users looking for a refresher course on
steam system basics. - 3 PDH
Boiler Fuel and Emissions
Fuel type and emissions control are two very
important considerations in the design of a boiler. The type of
fuel selected will not only impact emissions, but will also
greatly influence the design of the boiler and the operating
costs. This course covers key properties and design
considerations for each of the major boiler fuels available,
including coal, natural gas, oil, wood and municipal-type solid
waste. - 3 PDH
Steam Efficiency Improvements - Distribution & End Users
This course is relevant to engineers who design
or maintain steam systems, as well as engineers interested in
learning more about improving the efficiency of a steam system.
The student should have an understanding of the basic
fundamentals of steam systems before taking this course. - 2 PDH

Basics of Steam System Design
This section is intended for people involved in the
design, operation and/or maintenance of steam systems. It covers some
basic terminology, principles, steam generation in general, and the
design of steam distribution and condensate collection piping. Also
covered are the sizing, specifying and installation of steam traps.
Basics of Heat Transfer
In the simplest of terms, the discipline of heat transfer
is concerned with only two things: temperature, and the flow of heat.
Temperature represents the amount of thermal energy available, whereas
heat flow represents the movement of thermal energy from place to place.
Managing Low Pressure Steam Systems For Efficient Heating
Steam heating systems, when properly
maintained, provide efficient operation and excellent heating.
Understanding how the systems operate and how the components function is
important for proper maintenance.
Good Piping Practice Prevents Water Hammer in Steam Systems
One of the most common complaints against
steam heat is that a system sometimes develops a hammer-like noise
commonly referred to as water hammer. It can be very annoying. However,
it may indicate a condition which could produce serious consequences
including damaged vents, traps, regulators and piping.
BMP #6Boiler/Steam Systems
Boiler and steam generators are commonly used in large
heating systems, institutional kitchens or in facilities where large
amounts of process steam are used. This equipment consumes varying
amounts of water depending on the size of the system, the amount of
steam used and the amount of condensate return.
