Trai­ning

As a customer-oriented company, Schmid offers practical in-house and on-site training. Our training offers can of course be adapted to individual needs. For example, in addition to a detailed explanation of the function and maintenance of the various plant components, an operator training course also includes in-depth knowledge of the control system, process engineering, and information and measures for troubleshooting.

Fre­quent­ly as­ked ques­ti­ons?

Most often, the heat exchanger is dirty here. Switch off the furnace and carry out the following work when cold:

  • Clean smoke flues
  • Check fresh air dampers
  • Check vacuum control

Most often, the recirculation air dampers are dirty. Switch off the furnace and perform the following work when cold:

  • On the duct, disassemble the covers to the air dampers and clean the dampers.

Either the buffer storage tank has reached the set state of charge or the higher-level control system blocks the firing -> as a rule, the release comes automatically as soon as heat is required again.

Com­pe­tence and know­ledge en­su­re the suc­cess­ful ope­ra­ti­on of the plant.

Schmid offers its partners practical training courses that take into account the planning principles of QM wood-fired heating plants and enable operators to handle our plants in both mechanical and process engineering matters. Many people contribute to the optimal operation of a plant. Therefore, it is important for us to be able to offer training that meets the needs of all those involved.

In­vest­ment plan­ning

Plan­ning is cri­ti­cal for op­ti­mal ope­ra­ti­on. The fol­lo­wing to­pics and their im­por­t­an­ce are co­ve­r­ed in depth in the trai­ning cour­ses:

  • Basics of system planning and the optimal system selection
  • Optimal dimensioning of the plant according to the type and duration of the heat demand
  • Benefits and design of an energy storage system
  • Integration and control of a storage operation
  • Safety aspects
  • Influence of fuel on plant design and operation
  • System components and their field of application and additional benefits
  • Applicable national / cantonal regulations and guidelines
  • Maintenance and servicing of an industrial wood furnace
  • Optimization of the operation of wood firing systems

Ope­ra­ti­on and main­ten­an­ce of the plant

Over many ye­ars, the ope­ra­tor is the key per­son who de­cisi­ve­ly in­flu­en­ces the lon­ge­vi­ty and ef­fi­ci­en­cy of a plant, in coope­ra­ti­on with Schmid AG. The fol­lo­wing to­pics are trai­ned:

  • Basics of Schmid wood firing and combustion
  • Commissioning – heating up, heating operation, cleaning, maintenance
  • Safety aspects on installations
  • Important settings, functions and parameterization of the control system
  • Existing plant systems and possible additional functions
  • Benefits of remote access and Telemaintenance
  • Optimization of the operation of wood firing systems
  • Chimney sweep training
