For troubleshooting the simulator, the following on-screen test instruments are included:
SIMUHYDRO provides testing and troubleshooting of components and devices commonly found in hot water boilers and hydronic systems, including the following:
SIMUHYDRO simulates a generic gas-fired hot water boiler that a service technician would commonly encounter in the field. Indoor and outdoor temperatures, room thermostat, burner air-shutter, cold water and manifold pressure, and controls are all adjustable. Up to 30 different mechanical and electrical faults may be inserted into the simulator.
SIMUHYDRO TM is a hot water boiler simulator and troubleshooting training system, designed for students and HVAC service technicians. The simulator is an invaluable tool for teaching students the basics of hydronics/hot water boiler operation and troubleshooting, as well as improving the service skills of experienced technicians.
