Mechanical Systems and Equipment 24 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course provides a fundamental understanding of the purpose, types and operation of various mechanical equipment that have widespread applications in many facilities. This equipment includes cooling towers, air compressors, hydraulic systems, boilers, demineralizers, pressurizers, steam traps, filters and strainers. In addition, this course describes the safety hazards associated with certain types of components.

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and chemical engineers, nuclear facility operators, maintenance personnel, and other technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the operation of the different mechanical equipment.

This online engineering PDH course provides basics of the hydronic system operation and will familiarize the reader with piping system layout and operation, as well as provide an awareness of common circuiting arrangements. Topics to be discussed include auxiliary hydronic system components such as pumps, expansion tank, terminal units, distribution piping and fittings.

The circulation of hot water or chilled water to provide heat or cool the spaces is known as "Hydronic" system. It is a closed system where cold or hot water/steam runs through a heat exchanger and air is then blown over the heat exchanger to get the desired room conditions. Traditionally, HVAC systems are designed as All-Air Systems, which means that air is cooled at one location and is than distributed to the required space through ducts. All-Air Systems achieve the task of cooling a building by convection only. Hydronic system provides an alternative to cool/heat through a combination of radiation and convection inside the building.

Hydronic heating has three advantages over other types of heating systems. These advantages are comfort, efficiency, and versatile installation. With hydronics, you can move 40,000 Btu's through a 3/4" copper pipe through walls and between floors - or anywhere you need the heat - quietly and efficiently. A forced air system requires a lot of duct space, about an 8" by 14" duct, to move that much air with that many Btu's into a room.

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of hydronic systems.

This online engineering PDH course introduces the different types of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels commonly fired in industrial, commercial and institutional boilers. It describes the characteristics of fossil and non-fossil fuels with emphasis on coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, and refuse-derived fuels (RDFs). This course also presents the principle emissions from combustion boilers that are regulated under the Clean Air Act (CAA); mechanisms by which they are formed as well as the various control techniques for reducing them.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, designers, contractors, building professionals, and manufacturers who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the various boiler fuels and their emissions.

This online engineering PDH course describes air-filtration and air-cleaning issues associated with protecting building environments from an airborne chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) attack. The source document provides information about issues that should be considered when assessing, installing, and upgrading filtration systems along with the types of threats that can be addressed by air-filtration and air-cleaning systems. It is intended to provide guidance regarding measures that may be taken to prepare for a potential CBR attack, rather than in response to an actual CBR event.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 [Public Law 91-596] assures so far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions. The Act charges the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) with conducting research and making science-based recommendations to prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and death.

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to any engineer who is interested in understanding more about filtration and air-cleaning systems with respect to protecting a building environment from an airborne chemical, biological or radiological attack.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for the operation and maintenance of various types of water distribution system appurtenances. Discussed herein are valves and hydrants; flow, pressure and level sensors; transmission systems; indicators, registers and recorders; water meters, weirs and flumes; and backflow devices.

This 3 PDH online course is intended for civil engineers and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to best practices for the operation and maintenance of water distribution system appurtenances.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the design and operation of air quality control and monitoring equipment for fuel fired plants such as steam boiler plants. It discusses chemical, cooling and sump pumps, nitrogen and carbon dioxide systems, ash handling, boiler feed and condensate pumps, and air quality control and monitoring systems.

Carbon Monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur, are now cited as the most insidious of pollutants generated by industrial or power plants with fuel fired boilers and other equipment. They are proven to contribute to respiratory illnesses in humans, damage to the environment and buildings and, ultimately, lead to higher costs for health care and environmental cleanup.

This 4 PDH online course is intended for mechanical, civil and environmental engineers and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to power plant air quality and auxiliary equipment.
