Seminars:

Starters and Drives: Selection Criteria, Performance Standards, Longevity

Seminar 30 Tuesday, June 29, 8:00 AM - 9:30AM Location: Aztec
Sponsor:
TC 8.2 Centrifugal Machines, 1.11 Electric Motors and Motor Control
Modern centrifugal chillers utilize a wide variety of motor-starting and control methods including variable speed drives. Chapter 44 of the ASHRAE Handbook HVAC Systems and Equipment briefly covers motor starters, controllers and drives but in limited detail. This seminar takes a deeper dive into chiller manufacturer recommendations for selecting, specifying and applying starters and drives for centrifugal machines. The seminar also includes comparisons of typical reliability and means to increase longevity.
