INHR 30011 - Steam Systems

0.63 CR
In this module, the HVAC-R student will learn about heating systems that are based on steam boilers. Although these systems are hydronic, their operating principles, controls, and especially their safety devices, are different from those of hot water systems. This module covers commercial steam boilers, components, and piping, as well as the maintenance activities associated with steam heating systems.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Recall and apply the concept of latent heat and sensible heat.
  2. Identify terms and components and describe their purpose in steam systems.
  3. Describe proper boiler water chemistry and why it is important.
  4. Differentiate safety devices and why they are important.
  5. Describe proper piping systems related to steam and condensate systems.
