Instructor: John Siegenthaler, P.E., Appropriate Designs; Modern hydronics technology can be used to create very sophisticated and elaborate systems. While the original designer understands how the system should be installed and commissioned, the person who installs and maintains the system over its service life may not. Service contractors do not want to deal with the resulting incorrect installations and “orphan systems”. Experience has shown that this is all too common with hydronics systems, and represents an impediment to further market acceptance of hydronics technology. This session describes proper system documentation including piping schematics, electrical control schematics, descriptions of operation, initial controller settings, and installation details. You will also learn about relatively inexpensive software tools for creating proper documentation.
