What types of piping systems does this module cover?

The module covers chilled water systems, heating hot water systems, condenser water systems, and the associated pump selection, piping layout, and sizing procedures for each.

How do I select the right pump for a hydronic system?

Pump selection requires calculating the total system head at the design flow rate, then selecting a pump whose curve intersects the system curve at the design operating point. The module covers this methodology with workshops on pump selection and performance evaluation.

Is this course delivered online or in person?

All CANETCO courses are delivered live online via Zoom. Participants interact directly with the instructor and other attendees in real time, with workshops completed during the sessions.

Does this course count toward PEO PEAK requirements?

Yes. This course is PEO PEAK compliant and the CPD hours count as formal core engineering learning toward your annual PEO PEAK continuing professional development requirement.
