  • Nov. 21, 2019 - What to Know for Melting Snow: Hydronic SIM Best Practices+

    What to Know for Melting Snow: Hydronic SIM Best Practices
    Thursday, Nov. 21, 2019
    12 noon - 1:00 p.m. CST

    Ready or not, here comes the snow and ice season. Is your hydronic snow and ice melting (SIM) system ready-to-go? Do you have a design in mind, but need assistance with the final details? Returning to the webinar series, Max Rohr will dig into hydronic SIM systems, chip away at important design considerations and challenge you with questions to ask yourself when selecting controls.

    You'll learn:
    → How do I size a SIM system? What resources are available?
    → What is the SIM project objective: safety or convenience?
    → Should you use insulation under a SIM slab?
    → How do I keep my SIM system in top-notch shape?

    Max is a graduate of the University of Utah. He currently serves as the REHAU Academy Manager (Leesburg, Va.). Max is a self-described hydronics and thermostat nerd. He has worked in the hydronics and solar industries for 20 years (or however many years Hot Rod is willing to admit to the Division of Child Labor) in the installation, sales and manufacturing sectors.

  • Dec. 19, 2019 - Accurate Temperature Control in Plumbing Systems+

    Accurate Temperature Control in Plumbing Systems
    Thursday, Dec. 19
    12 noon - 1:00 p.m. CST

    The importance of proper domestic hot water (DHW) temperature control in providing comfort, safety and convenience cannot be overstated. Delivering it remains one of the most important responsibilities of plumbing system designers. Kevin Freidt, Caleffi director of product management and technical support, will discuss temperature control at the hot water source, at the point-of-use, in the balanced secondary circuits and in the system as a whole.  

    You'll learn:
    → What methods are used to control temperature at the DHW source?
    → What is different about controlling hot water temperature at the source vs. at the point-of-use?
    → Mixing valve standards ASSE 1017, ASSE 1070 and other related ASSE standards.
    → Can an instantaneous heater take the place of a mixing valve?
    → Are electronic mixing valves more accurate than thermostatic mixing valves?
    → How do I properly size and install a mixing valve to assure accuracy?
    → What are some causes of the loss of accuracy in a mixing valve?
    → What about temperature control and balancing of secondary piping circuits when I have recirculation?
    → What does accurate temperature control have to do with preventing Legionella bacteria issues?

    Freidt is the intellect behind sizing up the best product offerings in a moving target market and manages an exceptional technical support team. He has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology, 30+ years’ of experience in the commercial HVAC industry and is a LEED AP. Our audience will thoroughly appreciate his academic passion and concise content delivery.
