Fundamentals of Steam & Hydronic Systems Design and Application
Course Code: ME 5350

This course takes an in-depth look into the world of hydronic heating and low pressure steam heating. It is specifically designed for maintenance personnel, HVAC contractors and installers, and anyone who wants to learn more about the operation of hot water and steam systems. The hydronic portion of the course describes the proper operation, location, and selection of various components found in all hydronic systems. For example, the proper sizing and selection of centrifugal pumps, the various methods of air control and expansion tank sizing, as well as the various pumping methods such as primary/secondary and parallel and series pumping. The steam portion covers how these low pressure systems were designed to operate. Descriptions of the components found in one-pipe and two-pipe steam systems are detailed. By understanding how these systems were designed to operate, it becomes much easier to either troubleshoot a specific problem or improve the overall operating efficiency of these systems. If you are involved in the design, maintenance, or servicing of these types of heating systems, this course is for you!.
