Engineering Considerations For Hybrid Industrial H & V Systems

Instructor: Don Larsson
[email protected]
 

Understand the engineering considerations of the VIRTUAL WALL™ hybrid heating system that provides outside air, filtration, air purification and zoned heating for industrial buildings. This unique combination ensures safety, indoor air quality, comfort and efficiency with the added benefit of potential LEED credit points.

Participants will learn how to estimate loads, select equipment, lay out radiant systems, and identify control requirements for infrared heat and direct-fired make-up air units.  The importance of building pressurization and low discharge make-up air temperature to reduce stratification will also be covered. The course culminates with understanding the efficiency advantage of this hybrid combination in facilities with a significant amount of open dock doors. Worker comfort can be hard to achieve in large, open bay buildings like warehouses and manufacturing plants. This hybrid solution enables industrial building owners to enhance worker comfort, boost productivity and improve employee retention.

Virtual Wall combines two, best-in-class technologies for breakthrough safety, indoor air quality, occupant comfort & efficiency:

ROBERTS GORDON gas-fired, infrared heaters AND Rapid Engineering/ Weather Rite direct fired make up air units

Virtual Wall ties the low-intensity infrared heaters & direct-fired make up air handlers together nicely using common controls architecture for full compatibility and easy integration to BACnet or other protocols.

How to Properly Apply Infrared Heat in Loading DocksClasses for HVAC

Instructor: Don Larsson
[email protected]
 
Learn about the effectiveness of infrared heat for specific areas such as loading dock doors for distribution centers, manufacturing areas and warehouses. Correct placement of heaters within the perimeter of a facility usually involves loading dock doors. With as many as 600 loading dock doors in a single facility, the correct application of heaters is very important. Infrared heating has an added benefit over forced air heating due to the infrared factor. This, along with re-radiance, will be explained in detail. Understanding the physical properties of infrared energy will also be learned. Our CORAYVAC® system has been the leading heating product in Federal, Industrial and Commercial applications for decades. The benefit of “Burners-in-Series”, compared to “Unitary Burners” and “Parallel Burners” will also be covered.

Learn the advantages of Specified Air Solutions VIRTUAL WALL® whole building HVAC controls for distribution centers, manufacturing areas and warehouses. This patent-pending technology that combines infrared heating and direct fired make up air handlers into a single source of responsibility for controls and equipment is an advantage when provided by the same manufacturer. The knowledge of the equipment capabilities can be applied to the control programming for an extremely high level of control, resulting in outstanding reliability and efficiency. 

 

Classes for HVACBasics of Infrared Heating

Instructor: Don Larsson
[email protected]
 
Learn the benefits and applications of gas-fired, infrared heating systems for efficiently heating large, open areas such as aircraft hangars, distribution centers, manufacturing areas and warehouses. General concepts used in infrared heating applications, as well as efficiency comparisons of infrared heaters to other heating technologies will be introduced. Using these general concepts and theories, as well as specific studies and examples, the effective use of this technology and its energy savings benefits for end users will be explained. Participants will also gain an understanding of the physical properties of radiant energy, as well as the different types of radiant heating systems such as burners-in-series, unitary burners and parallel burners.
