Empowering Pumps and Equipment

HVAC Design Training (MENA) - February 2019
2019-02-03 08:00 - 2019-02-07 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Global Training Center, Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Date: 3-5 February 2019 – 8:00am – 5:00pm
ASHRAE’s HVAC Design Essentials training provides participants with instruction that accelerates their transformation into effective members of a design, construction or facilities maintenance team. Developed by industry-leading professionals selected by ASHRAE, the training provides attendees with the fundamentals and technical aspects of HVAC design. Attendees will gain practical skills and knowledge to design and maintain HVAC systems that can be put to immediate use.
In addition to gaining in-depth knowledge and understanding, attendees will receive real-world examples of HVAC systems based on the renovated ASHRAE Headquarters building and on building in the MENA region. The training also teaches a systematic approach to guide a design team to a solution that optimally meets the client’s expectations.
Date: 6-7 February 2019 – 8:00am – 5:00pm
ASHRAE’s HVAC Design: Level II – Applications training provides participants with instruction on HVAC system design. The training is tailored for engineers with advanced experience in the HVAC design field, or those who have completed HVAC Design: Level I – Essentials. Developed by industry-leading professionals, the training provides advanced information that allows practicing engineers and designers an opportunity to expand their exposure to HVAC systems design procedures for a better understanding of system options to save energy.

Pump and Mechanical Seal Principles
2019-02-05 08:00 - 2019-02-08 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Irving TX, 4343 West Royal Lane Suite 106, Irving, TX, 75063, United States
This course provides the participants with the knowledge and skills needed to understand the basics of pumps, pumping systems and mechanical seals. The course curriculum is centered on centrifugal pumps and the mechanical seals that they utilize in common industrial applications.

Basic pump and mechanical seal composition and operation are discussed in the classroom, and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped with instruments to indicate flow, pressure, temperature, and power consumption. The pumps are operated by the students themselves. 65% classroom, 35% labs.
Specific topics include:

Pump designs
Basic pump system hydraulics
Centrifugal pump performance curves
NPSH and cavitation issues
Types of centrifugal pumps
Pump impeller design
Mechanical seal basics
Seal chamber designs
Mechanical seal materials of construction
Seal installation procedures
Mechanical seal piping plans
Common seal support systems

AUDIENCE
Engineers; individuals involved in pump sales and service, and experienced plant maintenance and operational personnel that have a desire to improve their understanding of pumps and mechanical seals.

Water hammer Analysis is 80% Easier When You Import a Model from AFT Fathom. Here’s How You Do It.
2019-02-06 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Denver) | Webinar
Description: Most engineers who use modeling software are pros at using the software to evaluate the steady state flow. But do you also take the time to evaluate sudden surge pressures in your system? This webinar will show you how easy it is to use the AFT Fathom model you built and turn it into an AFT Impulse model so you can determine any surge issues in the system.
