Session 1: ACHIEVING TOTAL FLOW CONTROL IN HVAC SYSTEMS
The presentation will address the challenges faced in developing effective solutions to balancing for variable flow systems
Building owners, designers and contractors are being challenged to not only provide the basic creature comforts but also to do so in a cost effective and energy efficient way. In a variable flow system balancing for variable flow means matching the flow to the load under all operating conditions and at all heat transfer devices. In a conventional system multiple devices are employed in order to attempt to accomplish the above. We will evaluate prospective strengths and limitations of current designs, and look closely at how new technologies like automatic balancing, differential pressure and pressure independent control might help us accomplish those goals.
Presenter: William J England
Bill is the Hydronics Training Manager for Flow Design, Inc.. He has over 25 years of experience in HVAC Sales and Engineering. In his current position, he conducts technical training sessions for in house as well as consulting engineers, owners and facilities personnel on varies topics including variable flow and pressure independent control.
Bill’s education includes a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University and an MBA from University of Baltimore.
Session 2: Measurement and Control of Airflow Rates for Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
The presentation will educate attendees on indoor air quality and thermal comfort from a measurement and control perspective. It will cover causes of poor IAQ and thermal comfort, offer unique explanations for many of today’s issues and provide sound measurement and control strategies to improve IEQ. The primary focus will be on outdoor air ventilation and building pressurization.
Presenter: David S. Dougan
David has over 29 years of experience with EBTRON, Inc., a leading manufacturer of airflow measurement technology. Dougan has been the President of EBTRON since 1993. Prior to becoming the President he was the Director of Product Development for the Company. He is a graduate of Rutgers University.
Dougan has authored and published numerous papers on airflow measurement and control. He has been a guest speaker for many industry professional organizations and is widely considered to be an expert in the measurement and control of airflow rates for acceptable indoor air quality and building pressurization.
