Energy Efficiency in Natural Refrigeration Systems IIAR Sunday Education Program Sunday March 3, 2019 • 1:00 PM – 5:15 PM • 4 PDH/CEU Sponsored by CIMCO Refrigeration
Esteemed engineers will discuss a variety of topics related to design, retrofit, and operation of refrigeration systems with the goal of saving energy. The session will include discussions about overall system analysis, goals setting, demand pricing and peak loading, rebate programs, compressor set-up and operating techniques, equipment and piping selection and more. Attendees will gain useful tools such as “back of the envelope” methods for high level analysis. Case studies will also be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of various energy saving techniques.
