Watts is pleased to announce a live APSE-accredited CEU webinar — “Data Center Server Cooling Optimization.” This webinar is tailored specifically for engineers, architects, designers, specifiers, and facility managers involved in retrofitting, expanding, or constructing data center facilities.

On Tuesday, July 25th at 12 p.m. ET, attendees will learn about how a well-designed cooling system can increase the efficiency of a data center and lower operational costs. Participants can earn 0.1 ASPE CEU that counts toward professional development and licensure requirements.

In this webinar, industry subject matter experts will discuss:

  • Different server cooling technologies
  • How server cooling interfaces with chilled water systems
  • Optimizing the interface of server cooling to building chilled water systems
  • Controlling thermal expansion
  • Sizing of the expansion tank and pressure relief valve

Viega LLC’s new Automatic Recirculation Balancing Valve ensures a balanced domestic water recirculation system by dynamically changing with varying conditions.

The Automatic Recirculation Balancing Valve is a modification of a Viega product that has been used successfully in Europe for years. It helps keep water temperatures more uniform by adjusting flow with changes in temperature. The results are faster hot water delivery, minimized waste energy and water and less stagnation and chance of contamination. Among the valve’s features:

  • Unlike with manual valves, temperature can be set once and be maintained automatically.
  • Settings can be changed easily, if needed.
  • Can be installed on risers or branches
  • Remote monitoring with temperature sensor
  • Optional thermometer provides visual indication of valve setting
  • Threaded ends allow it to be used with Viega ProPress or Viega PureFlow fittings systems
  • Includes bypass for thermal disinfection

Additional accessories that can be used with the valve include a thermometer, drain valve and optional insulation sleeve.

“Viega is committed to providing hot water quickly and efficiently while improving water quality and the new Automatic Recirculation Balancing Valve is a significant step toward that goal,” said Paige Riddle, product manager, valves. “This valve offers more features than any other on the market while requiring minimum work on the part of designers, engineers, installers and building maintenance personnel.”

Heat metering has practical applications including apportioning energy costs to multiple customers served by a central system based on individual consumption.  Another common application is verifying if a heating (or cooling) source is producing its expected thermal output.  With the recently defined ASTM E3137 Standard Specification for Heat Meter Instrumentation, the stage has been set for the standard to Read more

Heat metering has practical applications including apportioning energy costs to multiple customers served by a central system based on individual consumption.  Another common application is verifying if a heating (or cooling) source is producing its expected thermal output.  With the recently defined ASTM E3137 Standard Specification for Heat Meter Instrumentation, the stage has been set for the standard to appear in specifications and job requirements in North America.

John Siegenthaler, P.E. kicks off the 2019 webinar series to elaborate on the benefits of heat metering including concepts and illustrations of practical applications at the next extended edition of Coffee with Caleffi on Thursday, Feb. 21at 12 noon – 1:30 p.m. CST.

You’ll learn:

→ Does antifreeze fluid passing through a heat meter affect its ability to accurately measure heat flow?
→ Can the same heat meter be used to measure heating energy and cooling energy delivery?
→ What’s the best way to change the length of a temperature sensor cable on a heat meter?
→ How many conductors are necessary to connect multiple CONTECA heat meters together?

A seasoned industry leader and passionate teacher, John shares his over 35 years’ experience in the understanding and proper application of water-based engineering principles with our audience. He is the principal of Appropriate Designs and a regular contributor to industry publications.

Coffee with Caleffi technical training webinars are free and intended for contractors, designers and wholesalers.
