SUMMARY:The Ice Equation
DESCRIPTION:Provided by Middleby\n1 CEU available \nThis course delivers a quick\, practical overview of why ice is critical to the guest experience and smooth operations. Participants will learn how ice quality affects perception\, service speed\, and costs\, and gain a clear understanding of the major ice types and where each is best used. The session covers front vs. back-of-house needs\, how to size production and storage for peak demand\, and how real-world operations turn these calculations into the right equipment choices. Attendees will leave with a simple framework for selecting the ideal Middleby ice solution based on ice type\, capacity\, footprint\, and operational goals. \nREGISTER\n

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:Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC (On Demand)
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by CaptiveAire Systems Inc.\nWorth 1 CEU \nCourse Description:\nModern buildings are complex; thre are lighting systems\, HVAC\, pumps\, security systems\, utilities\, and more.  More often than not\, it makes sense to connect all this equipment to a centralized controller or Building Management System (BMS) in order to properly monitor and control it all.  In this video we explore how a custom BMS can extract the most performance out of a sophisticated piece of equipment like Paragon HVAC.  We apply various use cases including troubleshooting\, comfort\, and efficiency examples\, with a look towards the future and the use of AI.\n\nPrerequisite Knowledge: None.\nLearning Objective 1: Understand what a Building Management System is and its basic uses\nLearning Objective 2: Compare and contrast traditional HVAC troubleshooting with the proactive approach Building Management Systems can provide\nLearning Objective 3: Understand how Building Management Systems can be used by engineers to improve the efficiency of HVAC equipment\nLearning Objective 4: Understand how HVAC equipment can be improved using large pools of data gathered by Building Management Systems \nFor access\, contact Mary Atwood at mary.atwood@captiveaire.com\n720-772-9971
