SUMMARY:PPA TEC Heat Exchanger Experts Training & Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Registration is at 7:30 AM; Class starts at 8:00 AM\nPennsylvania Petroleum Association Technical Education Center (PPATEC) and Pennsylvania Air Conditioning Contractors Association (PAACCA) are teaming up to jointly host Heat Exchanger Experts in 2025! Heat Exchanger Experts Inc. founder\, Ellis Prach\, is considered one of the foremost experts when it comes to troubleshooting cracked heat exchangers. His residential furnace inspection manual will show you how to inspect heat exchangers thoroughly\, yet efficiently\, so that you can be satisfied you are doing the best job you can for your customers. The dependable\, practical techniques shown in his manual were developed over a 40-year span of furnace inspections and installations. \nHeat Exchanger Experts Training & Seminar Benefits\n• The most effective way to find and identify defects in the heat exchanger \n• Locate where defects most commonly occur \n• Metal behavior tendencies and histories of heat exchanger failure \n• The consistent defects in various heat exchangers over the past 50 years \n• Defects that occur in the newer\, high-efficiency furnaces \n• After attending this seminar\, service technicians will realize how many defective\, unsafe furnaces they may have overlooked \nHands-On Training!\nOver 50 actual field-tested gas heat exchangers are brought right to the classroom for your personal inspection. See the stress points\, fracture zones\, and design considerations which you MUST know in order to properly inspect a furnace. Every furnace installer and inspector can benefit from this seminar. The information presented represents over 50 years of combined expertise in the heating industry. Learn the secrets of the trade now so you can apply them throughout your career. \n  \nThe gas heat exchangers reviewed come from actual inspections\, just like the ones you perform as part of your daily routine.
