We are working with Energy Trust of Oregon to present a series of Energy Engineering Forums in 2016. You are invited to the 4th Energy Engineering Forum for 2016. This free event consists of a one hour technical presentation followed by fifteen minutes of Q&A. A complimentary lunch and certifications for Professional Development Hours will be provided.
Optimizing Chilled Water Plant Design and Operation
Anthony Tomasi
Johnson Barrow Oregon
During this presentation, we will review why optimizing a chilled water plant is so important. This will include a discussion of the fundamental workings of a typical water cooled centrifugal chiller and what impacts their operating efficiency. We will detail ways to optimize chiller “lift” to save energy and review other innovations in the chiller industry such as VFDs, magnetic bearings, falling film evaporators, and high efficiency heat exchanger tubes. Additionally, Anthony will present a case study challenging “free cooling’ philosophies.
We will also be hosting this event as a webinar. Please use the link below for the webinar and note that remote attendees will not be able to receive PDHs.
