MPM 09 - Finding & Fixing Carbon Monoxide Problems
Monday, April 07, 2008 · 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM
New or experienced participants in this class will find a cornucopia of shared experiences, slides, and technical information that has been gathered from thousands of technicians and may be of immediate use at work, home, or perhaps anywhere carbon monoxide may be. What is carbon monoxide? How is it measured? When should it be measured? Explore basic combustion theory from cave-fires to high efficiency furnace functions and performance verifications.
By participating in this session, participants will
- Recognize the dynamics of carbon monoxide (CO) measurement in air and flue gases
- Begin to be able to interpret and diagnose combustion gases and pressure measurements
- Have an understanding of pressure measurements within a structure and the importance of evaluating the safe and efficient operation of interactive combustion systems
Confidently leave the class acknowledging the importance of their role in carbon monoxide safety
