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.

Refrigerant Regulations for Foodservice

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 presentation will review the latest U.S. federal and California state refrigerant regulations and the prescribed phase-down schedules for high-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerant gases used in small commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems that are typically found in restaurants. Low-GWP alternative gases and systems (Class A2L and A3) and the associated energy implications will be discussed. Participants will be able to: Specify refrigeration and HVAC equipment that will be in compliance with State and Federal refrigerant and energy efficiency regulations. Specify equipment that uses the most current adopted low-GWP refrigerants. Use no-cost, online, utility resources to locate energy efficient refrigeration equipment, calculate ROI, and receive incentives under the CA Energy Wise Instant Rebates program.

Hot Water Design for Heat Pump Water Heaters

6050 N. Irwindale Ave, Suite E 6050 N. Irwindale Ave, Suite E, Irwindale

Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW), Southern California Edison 2 CEUs available Description: The California Energy Commission is currently pursuing many programs which are aimed at decarbonizing our energy infrastructure including all-electric cooking, space heating and water heating. The commercial foodservice industry has started to adopt efficient electric cooking equipment as the first step towards all-electric, zero net carbon kitchens. This class explains how the foodservice industry can take the most important next step towards zero carbon by addressing one of the biggest barriers: How to replace the traditional gas-fired hot water systems with electric heat pump water heaters. Learn how heat-recovery dishmachines, effective plumbing design, and decentralized, point-of-use water heating are necessary to make heat pump water heaters perform effectively in the demanding commercial kitchen environment. Participants will be able to: Describe the water and energy savings associated with heat recovery dishmachines. Understand the benefits of using heat pump water heaters in commercial foodservice. Understand how heat recovery dishmachines and heat pump water heaters can make each other cost effective.
