PACKAGED BOILER OPERATION

 

 

 

The primary focus of this course is on boiler operation. Interactive BMS, burner control system and gauge glass simulators allow students to practice their skills in a realisitic, virtual environment. Featuring the unique, highly acclaimed video "The Inside Information" (courtesy Spirax Sarco) that for the first time shows what happens inside a boiler under a variety of operating conditions.

The course includes a module covering the fundamental principles of operation of modern PLC based control systems. Students will learn how the Boiler Management System interacts with the operational controls & safety devices, and how to respond to boiler trips.
