October Meeting
It was good to see many of you at our last two refrigeration meetings. Just remember there are four ingredients to beer: water, malt, hops, and yeast. Also, glycol is important for keeping beer cool. We are trying something a little different with the newsletter this year. Instead of e-mailing it to everyone, it will be posted on the website. Currently the web address for our chapter is in a little flux. For now you can find the newsletter here. Along with the newsletters, pictures of the events will be posted, so please visit after the meeting. This site is interactive. So, if you have any comments about the meeting or the chapter, in general, feel free to post them. Finally, please use the links on the right to e-mail your RSVP. Phone numbers are given below if e-mail is not available. This month, our meeting topic is:
Proper Applications & Sequences for Constant Volume Pressure Dependent Zoning Systems
These types of systems are known by several different names…..constant volume zoning...variable volume and temperature (VVT)...pressure dependent zoning...auto-changeover VAV...bypass VAV. This month’s topic will be about the history of these types of systems and why some engineers swear by them and why others swear at them. Our guest speaker, Illinois Chapter President Ryan Hoger will discuss how to correctly apply these systems with a practical list of do’s and don’ts. Open discussion is encouraged. Mr. Hoger is the Commercial Systems Product Manager at Temperature Equipment Corporation, the local distributor of Carrier HVAC equipment and control systems. Ryan has been with TEC’s controls division for the past ten years. In addition to being the President of the Illinois ASHRAE Chapter, he has also served as the Chapter Secretary, the Vice-Chair of the Programs Sub-committee, and the Co-Chair of the Technology Transfer Committee. Ryan was a 2005 Top Five Finalist for the global ASHRAE New Faces of Engineering Award and is a current member of YEA (Young Engineers in ASHRAE). He has had significant local experience with design, specification, installation, and programming of constant volume zoning systems since 1997. Ryan presented this same constant volume zoning technical topic for the Illinois chapter in May. As some of you may remember, Ryan has also presented the topic of CO2-based Demand Controlled Ventilation for both the Northern Indiana and Illinois chapters, as well as a presentation on web based controls systems for the Illinois chapter. Ryan has a Bachelor of Science degree in General Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Please invite anyone (wife, brother, mother, client, building owner, contractor, engineer, etc.). We are not an exclusive chapter. We hope that you can join us on October 18th to contribute to the discussion. Professional Development Hours (PDH) can be earned by attending this technical seminar.
