HVAC TV

Today's podcast was number seven on the top podcast of 2024 countdown. I was live at the CDI active desiccant factory on this episode with their founder and president, Tom Peterson. This was the first live podcast from an actual factory floor, and Tom explains how desiccants function, when to use them, and when not to use them. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy it.

Today, as I continue the countdown of the top podcast of 2024, I'm sharing what I consider an expertly packed panel. We have one of the nation's top water treatment experts combined with two of the nation's top cooling tower reconstruction professionals. This powerful combination really drives home the importance of water treatments and how we can make that an integral part of the design, start-up, and maintenance process.

On today's episode of HVAC TV, we continue the countdown of the 10 best podcasts of 2024. At number nine, I'm sharing one of my favorite podcasts, which I recorded with Jason Richwine with JCI, where he shows how selecting coils with a higher pressure drop can lead to higher efficiency in your system. I hope you enjoy it. Stay tuned for the next eight episodes on the countdown.

On today's episode of the HVAC TV podcast, we begin our countdown of the 10 best podcasts of 2024. At number 10 we're bringing you an episode called Cooling Towers: The Unsung Heroes of HVAC by Stephen Schwalbert with SPX Marley. Over the next few days. We will continue our top 10 countdown over the next 10 days so please listen along!
