March 2017 Energy Engineering Forum – Energy Efficiency & Refrigeration Systems

Posted by   

We are working with Energy Trust of Oregon to present a series of Energy Engineering Forums in 2017. 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.

Energy Efficiency & Refrigeration Systems
Dave Moser, PE
Cascade Energy

Large ammonia refrigeration systems use gobs of energy. This Energy Engineering Forum will discuss common strategies for improving the energy performance of the systems, from low cost adjustments to capital upgrades and considerations for new systems.

Register for the event here.

Note that we will have a webinar setup for remote attendees.

Presenter:

Dave Moser – Dave is a senior project engineer at Cascade Energy here in Portland. For the last 18 years he’s been working with commercial and industrial mechanical systems, including design, energy audits, and commissioning.

Energy Engineering Forum – Optimizing Chilled Water Plants

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.
