Get stuck in – Michael Bourgeois, CWT How do standards get written in ways that working water treaters can actually meet? In this conversation, AWT Past President, current Related Trade Organization (RTO) Committee Chair, and Chemco Products Company Operations Manager, Michael Bourgeois CWT, explains how AWT's liaisons collaborate with peer organizations, so guidance reflects field reality—operations, risk, and achievable compliance.  From Field Bags to Board Rooms: Why RTOs Matter  Bourgeois outlines the purpose of AWT's RTO structure: volunteer liaisons track and influence work at groups whose missions overlap with industrial water—CTI, ABMA, ASHRAE, AWWA, ASHE, and others. The aim is simple and practical: make sure member voices are heard so guidance advances health outcomes (e.g., Legionella control) and day-to-day feasibility for service providers and suppliers.  Turning Reaction into Proaction  Historically, the industry learned about new rules after they landed. Bourgeois details how AWT is shifting to co-authoring cooling-water guidelines with CTI and re-engaging ABMA, so boiler-water limits and methods reflect current technologies and operations. The model: clarify shared goals, contribute content expertise, and formalize collaboration so members get usable documents at member pricing.  Concrete Moves: Boiler Water, Healthcare, and More  Examples include AWT's role on ABMA's Boiler Expo steering committee (with a focused water-treatment training block) and early conversations with ASHE on pathogen control in building and healthcare water systems. He describes how liaisons feed updates into a formal committee cadence, so the AWT Board and members see progress—not just headlines.  When working professionals help write the playbook, outcomes improve clients, operators, and public health—and members stop "reacting" to standards they had no hand in shaping.  Listen to the full conversation above.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan sits down with Ray Wohlfarth, a seasoned HVAC contractor and prolific author who has dedicated over 30 years to mastering the art and science of boiler systems. What began as a competitive disadvantage—competitors claiming he knew nothing about boilers—became Ray's driving passion. Through daily reading, countless mistakes, and an unwavering commitment to learning, Ray transformed himself into one of the industry's most respected voices on hydronics and steam systems. Ray shares the personal story of how legendary author Dan Holohan literally "saved his marriage" with his book on one-pipe steam systems. When Ray and his wife moved into their first house with steam heat, mysterious banging sounds threatened domestic harmony until Dan's book provided the answers Ray desperately needed. This experience inspired Ray to pay it forward, eventually authoring 14 technical books himself—all written with the vision of a technician stuck in a boiler room at 9 PM on a Friday night, frantically searching for solutions. The conversation dives deep into practical wisdom earned through experience. Ray emphasizes the critical importance of safety in boiler rooms, recounting a harrowing story of a hospital engineer who bypassed safety controls and manually lit a boiler with a flaming broom—resulting in dangerous explosions. He stresses that technicians should always identify escape routes before beginning work, as a lifting relief valve can quickly fill a room with steam, displacing oxygen and eliminating visibility. Beyond safety, Ray shares diagnostic techniques like listening for dripping, hissing, or the "Rice Krispies" sound that indicates scaling, and visually inspecting for soot streaks that reveal combustion problems and potential carbon monoxide issues. Throughout the episode, Ray's philosophy shines through: humility, continuous learning, and the joy of solving complex problems. Whether discussing the holistic nature of steam system troubleshooting, the importance of water quality treatment, or the surprising efficiency of properly designed steam systems (like the LEED Gold-certified Empire State Building), Ray's expertise and passion are evident. His advice for aspiring boiler techs is simple but profound: read 15 minutes daily about your industry, engage with online communities like HeatingHelp.com, and never stop learning from every service call. Topics Covered Ray's Journey: Transitioning from Carrier air conditioning to boiler expertise over 30+ years The Writing Process: Creating 14 technical books designed specifically for technicians in the field Dan Holohan's Influence: How Dan's books and mentorship shaped Ray's career and literally saved his marriage Boiler Room Safety: Critical importance of identifying escape routes and recognizing dangerous practices Diagnostic Techniques: Using your senses—listening for dripping, hissing, and scaling sounds; looking for soot, leaks, and discoloration Near-Boiler Piping: Why 90% of steam boiler installations have incorrect piping and the importance of proper insulation Steam vs. Hydronic Systems: Key differences in troubleshooting approaches and why steam operates more like air conditioning than hydronic One-Pipe vs. Two-Pipe Steam: Fundamentals of steam system design, traps, and venting behavior Condensing Boilers: The reality of "conditional condensing" and why 95% efficiency requires specific return water temperatures Radiant Heat Comfort: Why hydronic radiant heating provides superior comfort compared to forced air Water Quality Issues: The critical importance of water treatment, the mystery of deteriorating fittings, and potential chlorine impacts Learning Resources: The value of HeatingHelp.com, reading 15 minutes daily, and engaging with online communities Ray's Book Series: Overview of his "Lessons Learned" series and specialized books on brewery boilers and wiring diagrams Common Mistakes: Real-world troubleshooting stories including the mystery of the 2-degree delta T and lessons in humility   Check out some of Ray's boiler books on Amazon HERE. His latest book, Lessons Learned: Understanding Boiler Wiring Diagrams, is available HERE. Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
