Training on oil burner combustion efficiency and maintenance. The Native Village of Lower Kalskag maintenance staff Micky Nicolai traveled to Bethel October 7 and 8, 2008 to participate in this training. ABSN partnered with Association of Village Council Presidents Housing Authority and YKHC’s Yuut Elitnaurviat Learning Center to provide ABSN’s 16 -hour boiler training course to 4 rural maintenance staff from ’07-’08 villages covered under this VEUEEM grant. Additionally 11 AVCP Housing maintenance staff from Bethel and surrounding western villages attended this training. Charlie Deer’s training hours were covered by matching funds from ABSN. AEA VEUEEM grant funds were used to cover training coordination, air fare, meals and lodging in Bethel for VEUEEM grant village maintenance staff. Components of a Bacharach Flu Gas Analyzing Kit used in boiler efficiency training and left with capable maint staff for use in their villages. Smoke-test kit for analyzing flu gases for boiler efficiency Schematic of outdoor temperature sensing boiler control During this 16-hour course ABSN’s boiler specialist C harlie Deer instructed maintenance staff in the fundamentals of boiler and fuel energy efficiency. Training topics covered: fuel, proper heating system sizing, testing boiler efficiency with a flu gas analyzer kit, cleaning and tuning boilers for energy efficiency, control options and proper control function, burner and nozzle components and function, outdoor temperature boiler controls, programmable thermostats, etc.
