HVC 109 — Oil Heating Systems
This course provides a comprehensive study of Fuel Oil and Fuel Oil Heating Systems. Students apply heat transfer concepts and chemistry basics to analyze fuel oil and combustion. Types of burner designs are analyzed for operation and efficiency. Equipment designs focus on mediums such as water and air for heat transfer. Controls strategies and components presented reflect the modern oil heating system. Safety and efficiency are a primary focus. This course provides a foundation for those seeking their MA Oil License. All instruction will relate to and reference MA Oil Code (NFPA 31). The hands-on laboratory component is designed to be integrated with and strengthen the online content.
