The Science of Smoke Types and its Impacts on Equipment

The purpose of this course is to explore the scientific nature of smoke based on its source and its specific impact on electromechanical equipment. Participants will learn about the different types of smoke residue and how the characteristics of smoke vary depending on the fire source. The session will also examine how smoke and related contaminants impact common, critical equipment—including HVAC, manufacturing, and medical systems. Finally, the course will cover technical approaches and industry best practices to effectively return this specialized equipment to a pre-loss condition following a smoke-related claim.
