CaptiveAir Fan Fundamentals – From the Wright Brothers to Today (On-Demand)

CaptiveAir Fan Fundamentals – From the Wright Brothers to Today (On-Demand)
Webinar
Virtual Event

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. Fans 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.

Fan Performance Curves- A Deep Dive (On-Demand)

Fan Performance Curves- A Deep Dive (On-Demand)
Webinar

Fan Performance Curves - A Deep Dive – 1 Hour Credit Course Description: Let’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. Prerequisite Knowledge: None.

Hatco Sneezeguard University

Hatco 2300 Wilbur Ave, Antioch

4.75 CEUs available Sneeze Guard University The overall objective of our training is to showcase modern sneeze guard manufacturing and applications. We will start with the basics and history of glass then dive into the rules and restrictions that need to be adhered to to meet NSF guidelines for the different types of sneeze guards available today. The class will also review the different types of mounting options and when and where they should be used followed by the various accessories they might consider in their specification. This will cover items such as the different lighting style and types of lights and lighting figures as well as the different types of strip heaters along with when, where and how to apply them in foodservice applications. We will tour a sneeze guard factory setting that will allow the consultants to see the end-to-end manufacturing process of a sneeze guard from cutting, drilling and tempering the glass to milling and machining the support materials needed. We will round out our meetings by discussing what the future needs look line for sneeze guards. Agenda Day 1 Morning-Mid Afternoon:  Guests arrive/Transportation to hotel 5pm-6pm:   Welcome Reception 6pm-9pm:   Dinner Day 2 8:00-8:30:  History of Glass […]
