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.

Find out how real-life operators innovate their menus and deal with everyday challenges in this upcoming online event: Elevating Healthcare Dining: From Kitchen to Patient & Beyond. For On Demand Access to this webinar contact Matt Webber MattWe@alto-shaam.com 262-251-3800 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.

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. Speaker: Richard Young, Director of Education, Frontier Energy’s, Food Service Technology Center To register, contact Gwen Yamasaki at gwen.yamasaki@sce.com or 626.812.7566. |
