DP&L Business Solutions Workshops.DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 1998--Businesses need a competitive edge these days. That's why energy-efficient measures that help cut costs are so effective. DP&L has developed three Business Solutions Workshops to help businesses increase efficiency, power quality and their bottom line. Understanding Chiller chill·er n. 1. One that chills. 2. A frightening story, especially one involving violence, evil, or the supernatural; a thriller. chiller Noun 1. Performance, Operation and Economics Thursday, Nov. 5, 1998, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. When it's cooling down Cooling down is the term used to describe an easy, full-body exercise that will allow the body to slowly transition from an exercise mode to a non-exercise mode. Depending on the intensity of the exercise, cooling down can involve a slow jog or walk, or with lower intensities, outside, businesses may start thinking about chilling operations inside. Chillers are used to provide chilled water for air-conditioning systems, as well as for many industrial applications. Understanding compressor compressor, machine that decreases the volume of air or other gas by the application of pressure. Compressor types range from the simple hand pump and the piston-equipped compressor used to inflate tires to machines that use a rotating, bladed element to achieve performance, the refrigeration cycle Refrigeration cycle A sequence of thermodynamic processes whereby heat is withdrawn from a cold body and expelled to a hot body. Theoretical thermodynamic cycles consist of nondissipative and frictionless processes. and its components are essential for selecting the right chiller for a given application. This DP&L Business Energy Solutions course will review refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. basics as well as chiller performance, operations and economics. It is a DP&L presentation in partnership with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (body) American Society of Mechanical Engineers - (ASME) A group involved in CAD standardisation. . The instructor is a Fellow of ASHRAE ASHRAE American Society of Heating, Refrigerating & Air Conditioning Engineers and member of ASME ASME - American Society of Mechanical Engineers and ASEE ASEE American Society of Engineering Education ASEE American Society of Electrical Engineers ASEE American Society for Ethics in Education ASEE Association of Supervisory & Executive Engineers (Ireland) ASEE Automated Systems Engineering Environment . Participants will be eligible for 0.7 CEUs. Cost for this informative seminar is $320.00. The program includes lunch. Power Systems Planning Thursday, Nov. 19, 1998, 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. Safety, reliability and protection of production equipment are just a few of the electrical concerns of the plant electrical operations/engineering staff. This program will help business professionals evaluate the existing electrical protection program and the benefit of fuse/breaker coordination planning. At this Solutions workshop proper wiring and grounding, overload protection, short circuit protection, ground-fault protection and single-phase protection will be covered. Fundamentals of Power Quality Thursday, Dec. 3, 1998, 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. Power quality is a growing concern for business customers. Downtime, lost data and electrical noise are problems that can be addressed through a thorough look at power quality concerns. Find out the basics about power quality issues in a workshop conducted by DP&L's power quality expert. Dan Dull has more than five years of experience solving hundreds of power quality problems in all kinds of commercial and industrial facilities. This three-hour workshop will build fundamental knowledge of power problems and give you information on how to fix the problems. This workshop is ideally suited for facility managers, maintenance personnel, engineers and electricians. DP&L is committed to offering practical solutions for businesses in what is an increasingly competitive marketplace. Besides the workshops, the company also offers programs to businesses to increase reliability, energy efficiency and energy monitoring. In each case, DP&L energy experts meet one-on-one with businesses to determine their needs and recommend a plan to increase efficiency and their bottom line. The Business Energy Solutions Workshops program was initiated in 1993 to help business customers learn how to maintain energy efficient operations without sacrificing productivity. More than 26,000 people have taken part in the workshops since their inception. Anyone who would like to attend -- whether a business operator or an energy enthusiast -- can register for a workshop by calling 1-800-Way-ToGo (1-800-929-8646). DP&L, a subsidiary of DPL (Digital PowerLine) An earlier technology for transmitting a 1 Mbps data signal over electric power lines from Nortel Networks. It was developed in the late 1990s, but later abandoned due to implementation difficulties. See broadband over power lines. Inc., provides electricity, natural gas and other energy services to 500,000 customers in the Ohio region. Widely recognized as an industry leader in productivity and efficiency, DP&L was named the Utility of the Year in 1994 and received the Governor's Award for Excellence in Energy Efficiency in 1996. The company's combined rates for electricity and gas service are consistently among the lowest in Ohio. |
