Carbon Monoxide: A Clear and Present Danger

This program addresses the hazards inherent in carbon monoxide generation and testing procedures. Additionally, it provides an overview of combustion analysis and the relation of building pressures to carbon monoxide generation. Training Manual © 2003 ESCO - 168 Pages This training manual is broken into three sections: 1) Carbon Monoxide (CO) Explains: What CO is, how CO is produced, health effects of CO exposure, how to respond to an alarm, basic testing procedures, code compliance, and exposure standards. 2) Combustion: An in depth explanation of combustion analysis, troubleshooting, and remediation of CO production for both gas and oil fired appliances such as: boilers, furnaces, hot water heaters, clothes dryers, etc. 3) Pressure Measurements: A primer on how building pressures effect the distribution of carbon monoxide. The spiral binding will allow students to tear out worksheets for grading by the instructor. Read more
