It is imperative that your water-cooling system(s) operates at maximum efficiency. In this hands-on chilled water systems seminar you will receive the critical information needed to increase your system’s reliability.
The chiller is the heart of the refrigeration system which operates best with skilled technicians maintaining it. Gain hands-on practice and knowledge of instruments and test meters. Learn how to collect data and evaluate the chiller operation equipment. Become familiar with approach temperature and to interpret it in terms of the system operation.
This training is for any person needing a basic seminar in Chilled Water (Chiller) systems.
Professions that benefit the most include:
Chilled Water System Operators
Refrigeration System Operators
HVAC maintenance and Repair Technicians
Plant & facility maintenance technicians
Building engineers
Building managers & superintendents
Plant & facility managers
Environmental health & safety personnel
Apprentice and experienced HVAC technicians
Stationary engineers
Energy management personnel
Participants of the chillers operation and maintenance seminar will learn preventive maintenance and troubleshooting methods to ensure the system is always operating with the most efficiency and cost savings. Receive information on the latest techniques and technology.
