Duration: 1 1/2 hour

This webinar is for licensed contractors or service technicians that are interested in learning about the Vitocrossal 300 CA3B boiler. This webinar will cover a limited overview of all aspects of installation (piping, venting, gas supply, wiring, programming, start up wizard).

Learning Objectives:
– List sizes and the key features and benefits (incl. common applications)
– Describe shipping methods available
– Identify key benefits of each shipping methods and when to apply
– List the available venting options

Length – 1 hour

Statement of Purpose:

In the world of boiler venting there are 4 categories for gas boiler venting and many approaches to venting. In the webinar we will examine the two main categories , category I and IV venting. For each category we will outline the requirements of the vent system. Additionally we will look at vent sizing based on tables and also sizing with vent sizing software. As important as the exhaust gas venting is the combustion air.. We will also examine combustion air requirements, both for sealed systems as well as systems using room air.

Duration: 1 hour

Statement of Purpose:
Often with a residential project the decision is made to couple the DHW load to the space heating boiler. The question then becomes whether to go with a combi boiler or add an indirect water heater to the boiler plant. In this presentation we will examine the two methods and answer the following questions:
1. Sizing for water heating, how should you approach it?
2. Sizing the boiler, what is different between the two approaches?
3. How are the DHW design considerations different?
4. What are the performance differences?
5. The third option, Instantaneous generation with DHW storage, where does it fit?

Learning Objectives:
– Contrast the differences between an indirect water heater and a combi boiler in how they meet a hot water demand
– Compare the sizing process for combi boilers and  indirect water heaters.
– Describe the pros and cons of using a combi boiler and an indirect water heat.
– Describe how a DHW storage tank loading system works and the advantages of this type of system.

This course is a basic foundational course for individuals new to hydronic heating. Beginning with focusing on heat energy effects on water temperature and the flow relationship adding basic hydronic heating system components are discussed along with design considerations. When completed an individual should be able to identify hydronic boiler basic components and their functions.

Learning Objectives:
– Explain and apply the Water/Btu Formula
– Describe the function of basic hydronic heating components: High Limit, Low Water Cut-off, Flow Switch and Back-flow Preventer.
– Discuss the effects of high/low water flow and heat emitter performance
– Explain Feet of Head pressure drop and GPM flow requirements to design a simple heating system

This webinar is for licensed contractors or service technicians that are interested in learning about the Vitocrossal 200 CM2 boiler. This webinar will cover a limited overview of all aspects of installation (piping, venting, gas supply, wiring, programming, start up wizard)

Learning Objectives:
– List sizes and the key features and benefits (incl. common applications)
– Describe shipping methods available
– Identify key benefits of each shipping method and when to apply
– List the available venting options

Duration: 1 hour

Statement of Purpose:

With every boiler project comes the decision on how to pipe it in and what components should be included. In this presentation we will examine the near boiler piping and required components to make it work.
1. Primary secondary or Primary only, when is each appropriate and does it matter?
2. Should off cycle boilers be isolated? In Primary-secondary individual boiler pumps or isolation valves
3. Air and dirt separation, best locations?
4. What else is needed?

Learning Objectives:
– Describe the purpose of the components require to complete a boiler installation
– Describe the best location for the near boiler piping components
– Explain the methods of isolating off cycle boilers 
– Explain the differences between primary only and primary-secondary piping.

Duration: 1 hour

Statement of Purpose:

Combi Boilers provide heat and Domestic Hot Water from the same piece of equipment. We will discuss the benefits of installing this type of  boiler and answer the following questions:

1. What happens if you have cold ground water temperatures?
2. Are there limitations to the endless supply of Domestic Hot Water with Combi Boilers?
3. Do they work with DHW recirculation systems?
4. If you have a home with old plumbing, how is a combi boiler going to react?
5. What happens to my flow rate at higher elevations?

Duration: 1 hour

Statement of Purpose: 
Often the expansion tank is one of the items that doesn’t get much thought when it comes to hydronic system design. In this presentation we will dig deeper into the expansion tank.
1. Why is the expansion tank required?
2. What is the relationship between the expansion tank, fill valve and safety valve?
3. Compression tank and expansion tank, are they the same?
4. What is a critical sizing for an expansion tank
5. Where in the hydronic system does the expansion tank belong?

Learning objectives:
– Explain why an expansion tank is required
– Contrast the design and functionality of an expansion tank and a compression tank
– Describe how an expansion tank is sized
– Describe the best location for an expansion tank
