SUMMARY:CaptiveAir Fan Fundamentals - From the Wright Brothers to Today (On-Demand)
DESCRIPTION:Know nothing about fans? Perfect! We’ll cover the most fundamental topics like pressure gradients and the fan laws to build your understanding of both Axial and Centrifugal fans. Don’t worry\, we make it fun with lots of demonstrations and animations\, while tying some of these concepts to the early days of aviation and even cows. Yes\, cows.\nFans excel at one simple job: moving air. Yet\, most people don’t really know how they do so\, and that’s ok! But if you’re not most people and want to learn about these neat machines\, you’re at the right place. \nPresenter Information\nBill Griffin\, President of Engineering and Manufacturing – CaptiveAire Systems\, Inc. He is the President of Engineering and Manufacturing with CaptiveAire Systems\, the nation’s leading manufacturer of commercial kitchen ventilation systems. Bill began working in the HVAC industry at CaptiveAire in 1999\, immediately after graduating from the University of Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. Bill began as a draftsman with CaptiveAire and advanced within the company to overseeing all of manufacturing and\nengineering. For over 20 years\, his career has focused on the design\, development\, manufacturing and improvement of products. Bill is a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Pennsylvania and holds 7 patents for products in the kitchen ventilation and HVAC industry. \nGerman Tabor\, Filmmaker – CaptiveAire Systems\, Inc.\nWith a decade of experience in film and video production\, and a technical background in Aviation Maintenance encompassing hydraulic\, pneumatic\, climate control and electrical systems troubleshooting\, German Tabor is uniquely positioned to create effective and compelling engineering fundamentals videos. All of German’s videos are thoroughly reviewed by CaptiveAire engineers to ensure accuracy and the correct application of theories and\ncalculations. \nPrerequisite Knowledge: None.\nLearning Objective 1:\nUnderstand static and dynamic pressures\, as well as their relationship (Bernoulli’s principle).\nLearning Objective 2:\nUnderstand and apply the basic fan laws.\nLearning Objective 3:\nUnderstand the working principle of axial fans including HVLS\, Propeller\, Tubeaxial and Vaneaxial.\nLearning Objective 4:\nUnderstand the working principle of centrifugal fans of different designs and utilizing various impeller wheels. \nFor online access\, contact Mary Atwood mary.atwood@captiveaire.com

SUMMARY:Fan Performance Curves- A Deep Dive (On-Demand)
DESCRIPTION:Fan Performance Curves – A Deep Dive – 1 Hour Credit \nCourse Description:\nLet’s build a fan curve! We’ll start by collecting data on a real fan\, and then use the fan laws to extrapolate all the require data. Then we’ll use the curves to size up fans and motors\, and along the way we’ll look into eEiciency’s\, safety margins\, density\, and even system eEect. We condensed a wealth of knowledge into 1 video that connects all the dots. \nPrerequisite Knowledge:\nNone. \nPresenter Information\nBill Griffin\, President of Engineering and Manufacturing – CaptiveAire Systems\, Inc.\nBill Griffin is the President of Engineering and Manufacturing with CaptiveAire Systems\, the nation’s leading manufacturer of commercial kitchen ventilation systems.

SUMMARY:Perlick - Bar Design on the Fly Webinar (1 CEU)
DESCRIPTION:BAR DESIGN ON THE FLY: Top 10 Checklist for an Efficient & Profitable Bar \nIn today’s bar and restaurant industry\, effective bar design is more crucial than ever. With challenges like limited staffing and an increase in less experienced workers\, having a well-thought-out bar layout and organization is essential. A properly designed bar streamlines the preparation of complex drinks and plays a key role in boosting a restaurant’s profitability\, as beverage sales typically yield higher profit margins than food sales. \nThis quick 1 hour webinar serves as a good starting place for any bar design. \nThe 3 main learning objectives are: \n\nUnderstand Key Design Principles: Learn how to design a bar layout that supports smooth cocktail preparation and service efficiency.\nOptimize Workflow and Storage Solutions: Gain insights into efficient workflow patterns\, glassware storage\, and strategic placement of essential bar elements.\nPrioritize Practical Functionality: Recognize the importance of planning for mixers\, ice types\, garnish prep\, and cleanliness to maintain an organized and productive bar environment.\n\nThese objectives will help guide attendees to build a comprehensive and profitable bar design. \n1 CEU for FCSI Consultant Members \nClick here to join the webinar or contact Corrinne Walenda for more information \ncorrinne.walenda@perlick.com \nCorrinne Walenda 414.399.8859
