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.

Heat Illness, California Regulations and the Kitchen of the Future

Frontier Energy 1075 Serpentine Lane, Suite B, Pleasanton

Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW), PG&E, Frontier Energy - Food Tech Service Center 1.5 CEU available This class covers two different commercial kitchen challenges: high heat environments and the many kitchen water wasters that can be readily fixed. The first half explains the newly adopted CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations. These regulations are meant to protect kitchen workers but, they also apply to equipment service professionals who might be working in those kitchens. Learn the details of these new regulations, how to help operators lower kitchen temperatures, and how to come into compliance with these laws. Likewise, new California laws require that all water utilities follow strict conservation guidelines in both dry and wet years - which could impact water costs. This class will provide training on how to spot and mitigate common water-wasting leaks and wasteful operating practices in kitchens and dishrooms. Participants will be able to: Appraise an employee's indoor heat illness risk and communicate a plan to come into compliance with the CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations, Explain how to reduce the ambient heat in a kitchen environment through equipment choice and ventilation optimization, and Employ corrective techniques to reduce water waste in commercial kitchens and […]
