I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to let you all know about our upcoming meeting on Thursday April 23 at the ABC training center in Allentown from 6-8PM.Mr. Ed Brink, Meier Supply trainer, will be with us to present the topic of burner service. Many of you may be getting into cleanings and tune ups this time of year, so this promises to be an interesting and enjoyable topic. Ed was with us earlier in the educational year and I'm looking forward to his upcoming presentation. I'm particularly interested in combustion efficiencies as this really is the heart of the burner setup and is probably the least understood by the technician.
I just got back from the Philly area after attending the April EKA training. Mr.Garth Denison did a superb presentation on large tonnage equipment. Now I don't work on anything that large so I thought that it might be way over my head or totally irrelevant to me, nothing could be further from the truth.
Garth has a way of explaining things that brings it home to the ordinary guy that I am. Even though his topic was geared to the large tonnage stuff, it still had many facets that touched my everyday world. Everyone was able to glean something useful from the training. Also, the free CD he provided to all attendees has some very valuable information that you just can't find other places.
EKA training really has me "pumped up", but the thing that always impresses me even more that the excellent training is the excellent people that I meet. Let's face it, the "cream of the crop"( myself excluded) shows up for training events like this (especially on a beautiful Spring Saturday).
Anyway, our chapter has an opportunity to host the EKA training in October. It's gonna be fun!!!
