Lunch and Learn

N.H. YATES HAS DEVELOPED A SERIES OF TRAINING PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE MECHANICAL AND PLUMBING ENGINEERING COMMUNITY.

Cooling Towers

Introducing our NEW Anti-Microbial (AM) Cooling Tower Shell with Anti-Microbial HDPE resin, which is fully compounded throughout and withstands most aggressive chemical treatments. Our tower fill Accu-Shield™ inhibits the growth of microorganisms and resists biofilm growth. According to test results from Special Pathogens Laboratory®, The Legionella Experts®, our tower displays the only Anti-Microbial efficacy against Legionella bacteria out of all the common cooling tower materials.

Hydronic Modules, LLC

Basic sizing of Domestic Water Booster Packages is provided on a PowerPoint presentation including flow calculation, head requirements, header sizing, PRV sizing and load files. Pump sequencing by flow switches and current sensing relays is discussed. We examine the application of a bladder tank for extended periods of no flow and proper sizing of the bladder tank. The application of VFD’s to the booster system is discussed and whether it is a cost effective option.

High Efficiency Boilers/Water Heaters
