Energy efficiency in food processing: cooling towers and steam systems

Join expert Tom Tucker as he discusses cooling tower and steam system efficiency opportunities. He introduces a graphical tool that makes better estimates of true power consumption using simple current measurements. You will be able to use these power estimation techniques on any electric motor, including those on cooling systems.

Tom addresses general cooling tower maintenance related issues and provides visual examples including a parallel tower basin pump optimization. He will also give insights on steam system operation and related opportunities around boiler control, vent steam heat recovery, and estimating the value of steam leaks based on empirical testing. Viewers will see photos of steam leaks with the measured loss to give an idea of what certain leak rate may look like.
