Hartford Steam Boiler has collected its series of equipment webinars on videos that are now available on a new page at www.hsb.com. The 11 webinars cover the operation and maintenance of boilers, air conditioning and electrical equipment. A STRONG RESPONSE "Hundreds of people have participated in our series of equipment webinars over the past year," said Michael Bove, HSB vice president of engineering and standards. "The response was strong, and we wanted all of our customers and the public to take advantage of this information to help prevent loss and improve efficiency." JUST CLICK AND VIEW Click on a topic to view each of the recorded webinars. The sessions run from 20 minutes to 50 minutes and help you understand how equipment works - so you can make it work better. The webinars examine essential equipment with topics that include:

"WHAT CAN GO WRONG WITH MY BOILER?"
Low water, inadequate maintenance and the failure of controls and safety devices are major causes of boiler breakdowns. "What Can Go Wrong with My Boiler?" covers the fundamentals of boiler maintenance to help prevent a loss. Other webinars on boilers include information on preparing for a jurisdictional inspection, energy efficiency, critical protective devices, and automated controls.

"KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON"
We all are dependent on electrical power. Electrical systems include expensive equipment and a breakdown can cause fires, other property damage and injuries. "Electrical Equipment - Keeping the Lights On" explains the importance of an electrical preventive maintenance program. Follow up with another webinar on how to protect electrical equipment from power surges.

"HOW DOES AIR CONDITIONING WORK?"
Air conditioning uses refrigerant as a "sponge" to absorb heat from one place and carry it to another place to be squeezed out. It's not as simple as that, of course. The webinar "Air Conditioning - How Does it Work?" discusses typical components, types of systems, and common problem areas. Other air conditioning webinars discuss efficient design and operation and how to keep it working when you need it most.

IMPROVE MAINTENANCE AND PERFORMANCE
Our equipment webinars were conducted by HSB technical and engineering specialists to help equipment operators improve maintenance and operating performance. However, no technical background is necessary; anyone who manages equipment such as supervisors and facility directors may benefit.

YOU CAN BRAND AN INVITATION
The live webinars were attended by equipment operators from schools, churches, state and local agencies, and insurance professionals who wanted to better understand equipment. Agents, brokers and insurers recommended the webinars to their customers, often branding the invitations. You can do the same with the recorded webinars and link the HSB webinar page to your company's website.
