Introduction to Motors, Fans & Pumps with VFD Opportunities
Wednesday, August 14, 2024 from 8:30 - 11:30 AM CST (part one)
Thursday, August 15, 2024 from 8:30 - 11:30 AM CST (part two)
Course Description:
Motors are responsible for more than 60% of the energy consumed in commercial buildings and manufacturing facilities. Understanding and optimizing fan and pumping systems will provide significant opportunities in reducing energy costs. Do you know:
- The cost to run a fully loaded 20 hp fan motor for one year?
- The difference between optimizing a component verses optimizing a system?
- Why use a variable frequency drive (VFD)?
- How to determine when purchasing a new motor is more energy cost effective than rewinding an existing motor?
- What types of cash incentives are available from Focus on Energy associated with fans and pumping systems?
This course will answer these questions! Subjects that will be covered:
- Major components (motors, fans pumps, VFD)
- Terminology (psi, head, system curves, affinity laws, KPI)
- Using thumb-rules to estimate energy cost savings
- System optimization
- Cost reduction strategies
- Case studies
