Led by industry experts, this event offers practical insights, hands-on demos, and networking opportunities. Attendees will earn PDH credits while learning strategies to improve system performance and stay current with industry trends.Agenda🕑: 08:00 AM - 08:30 AMBreakfast🕑: 08:30 AM - 09:30 AMThe Great Debate: Primary-Secondary vs. Variable PrimaryHost: Mark FineInfo: Effective hydronic system design involves more than connecting pumps, boilers, and piping. This session explores how piping arrangements, pumping strategies, pressure control, expansion, and air management work together to influence system efficiency, reliability, and performance. Attendees will learn about common design challenges and the decisions that help ensure successful system operation.🕑: 09:30 AM - 09:45 AMBreak🕑: 09:45 AM - 10:45 AMGlycol 101: What Changes When You Add Glycol?Host: Alex OverwegInfo: Adding glycol to a hydronic system does more than provide freeze protection, it changes how the entire system performs. In this fast-paced, practical session, we’ll break down what engineers and contractors need to know when designing, selecting, and working with glycol-based HVAC systems.🕑: 10:45 AM - 11:00 AMBreak🕑: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMSmall Boilers, Big Decisions: Designing for PerformanceHost: Jason WinslowInfo: This session explores the design and installation of small commercial boiler systems, focusing on how equipment selection and system design influence overall performance. Topics include piping and pumping strategies, boiler sizing and turndown, and differences in control capabilities across manufacturers. The session also examines venting requirements, including layout, allowable vent lengths, and practical approaches to common design and installation challenges.🕑: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PMLunch with a Twist: B&G Pump Teardown and MaintenanceHost: Brad NotterInfo: Join Brad Notter and a technician for a hands-on lunch demonstration as they disassemble a Bell & Gossett pump, sharing practical maintenance tips and demonstrating how to replace key components.🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PMBetter Water SolutionsHost: Chip BidigareInfo: Explore EasyWater by Watts water treatment options for domestic water, cooling tower, and closed-loop systems. This session examines how these technologies can reduce or, in suitable applications, eliminate chemical use while improving energy efficiency, reducing equipment maintenance, and minimizing environmental impact.🕑: 02:00 PM - 02:15 PMBreak🕑: 02:15 PM - 03:15 PMBeyond Dual Fuel: Designing Resilient Healthcare Domestic Hot Water SystemsHost: Nick TabarInfo: Evolving DOE efficiency requirements for commercial water heaters are prompting a fresh look at healthcare domestic hot water design, where natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil dual-fuel water heaters have traditionally supported continuity of operation. This session examines the implications of these requirements, key considerations when transitioning from non-condensing to condensing equipment, and alternative strategies for maintaining reliable hot water service. Topics include indirect heating from dual-fuel boiler plants, propane backup for compatible condensing equipment, hybrid gas/electric systems, and CO2 heat pump water heating. Attendees will gain practical insights into evaluating these options and balancing efficiency, reliability, and operational needs.🕑: 03:15 PM - 03:30 PMBreak🕑: 03:30 PM - 04:30 PMTight Spaces, Smart Solutions: Navigating Mechanical RetrofitsHost: Ryan GrovesInfo: Retrofitting existing buildings requires practical solutions to complex engineering challenges. This one-hour session explores mechanical-room layout, equipment replacement, system integration, and the importance of verifying existing field conditions. Topics include hydraulic analysis, pump requirements, vent sizing, and applicable code requirements. Attendees will learn strategies for addressing limited space, structural obstructions, and existing system deficiencies, including when packaged equipment solutions can provide a practical alternative to conventional designs. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brecksville/deppmann-academy-cleveland/100002000658361014 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 8 hours 30 minutes - Location: R L Deppmann - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brecksville - **state**: OH - **country**: United States - **location**: R L Deppmann - **lat**: 41.27810119999999 - **long**: -81.6315071 - **full address**: R L Deppmann, 6910 Treeline Drive, Brecksville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Deppmann Academy — Cleveland - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/6b243c668a9108fd3b4d00cc69b32538ca2c3d9e73e1c2d3d55077c1272707b4-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd8d8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1790460966 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Deppmann Academy — Cleveland being held? - **A:** Deppmann Academy — Cleveland takes place on Wed, 28 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 am to Wed, 28 Oct, 2026 at 04:30 pm at R L Deppmann, 6910 Treeline Drive, Brecksville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Deppmann Academy — Cleveland? - **A:** Deppmann Academy — Cleveland is organized by R.L.
