Hot Water Boilers

Boilers are fuel-burning appliances that produce either hot water or steam that gets circulated through piping for heating or process uses. The boiler operator is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the boiler system. With proper maintenance, a hot water boiler will provide reliable heat and hot water to facilities for many years. This course explains how a boiler works and reviews the different types of boilers, the responsibilities of a hot water boiler operator, and the short- and long-term inspections and maintenance for boiler systems.
