SYMPOSIA 2016: A seminar on Non Conventional HVAC Systems
by Shrutee K/DNS
Mumbai: ISHRAE
Mumbai Chapter in association with ISHRAE
Thane Chapter and ASHRAE Mumbai Chapter concluded its
annual National Program ‘SYMPOSIA’ with the focus of ‘NON-CONVENTIONAL
HVAC SYSTEMS’ on June 17, 2016 at Hotel Hyatt Regency,
Andheri (East), Mumbai with over 300 delegates. The
seminar brought together leaders of this field to share a comprehensive
overview of this rapidly expanding area of non-conventional HVAC systems.
The Conference
revolves around innovative theme every year and have chosen current year theme
on Non Conventional HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) Systems.
In the current times air conditioning has become a necessity rather than
a luxury but at the same time a guzzler of power. Non Conventional HVAC
Systems will discuss the newer technologies available for air conditioning that
are energy efficient and environment friendly. It promises to be a day of
learning and sensitization of the technologies evolving today. The day
will see presentations by eminent speakers from across the country on
multistage evaporative systems, 4 pipe systems/heat pumps, adsorption Chillers,
underfloor air distribution Systems and geothermal and radiant cooling systems.
The major
partners to the program were A.T.E. Enterprises Pvt. Ltd, Mitsubishi
Electric/Climaveneta, Dessicant Rotors International Pvt. Ltd, Schneider
Electric IT Business India Pvt. Ltd. The allied societies supporting the event were
IGBC (Indian Green Building Council), FSAI (Fire and Safety Association of
India) ,RATA (Refrigeration and Air conditioning Traders Association), AWESOME,
IPA (Indian Plumbing Association) and IAEMP (Indian Association of Energy
Management Professionals)
Mr. Sachin Maheshwari, National President, ISHRAE said,
“ISHRAE holds similar interesting conferences on different themes throughout
the country to meet one of its prime objectives of dissemination of
knowledge."
Mr. K. Ramachandran, Immediate National past president, ISHRAE and ACREX
2017 Chairman said, “Indian Society
of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE) as the
foremost technical society in the field in India is very concerned about energy
conservation which is of critical importance to humankind. Air Conditioning and
Refrigeration is vital for human comfort and critical for healthcare,
hospitality, electronics, and food preservation and served other industrial,
commercial and residential applications. While efforts are on to reduce the
power consumption in conventional systems by improved designs, equally
important is looking at alternative sources of energy and even unconventional
methods of cooling. Use of available waste heat in absorption refrigeration
machines, use of geo-thermal cooling, solar powered cooling systems, cooling of
structures using water or air as well as concepts such as “adaptive thermal
comfort” open up new vistas to explore for the HVAC & R engineer. The
annual “SYMPOSIA” organized by ISHRAE Mumbai Chapter carefully examines cooling
using unconventional as well as renewable energy sources. Participants are sure
to take away learning’s which will be very useful in the days to come.”
Mr. Nandlal
R. Singh,ISHRAE Mumbai President said, “The seminar was focused on good
manufacturing practices and environmentally friendly designs that not only
ensure quality products, but also the safety and well being of all personnel.
The key speakers focused on the need for manufacturing standards, essential for
making sure that design, systems and equipment installation are done while
eliminating risks. All the issues and trends on the role of Non Conventional
HVAC systems were discussed at Symposia.”
Mr. Amod
Dikshit, Convener and Mr. R. N. Joshi, Co-covener, ISHRAE said, “As a HVAC consultant, we face a question as what’s
new, economical in running and effective in long run. When we sat down for this
year’s theme, the “non conventional HVAC" was on top of our mind. We
ensure that all committee members are equally committed to power saving and
green concepts and readily accepted the same. We both are sure that this will
be a fantastic look into possibilities of better systems of tomorrow and popular
in time to come.
ISHRAE (Indian Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning
Engineers)
ISHRAE, the
Indian Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers, is an
international associate of ASHRAE and established in 1981, in Delhi to promote
Heating, Ventilation, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry
in India. Today, ISHRAE is a society of over 10,000 professionals and 7500
student members, headquartered in Delhi and having 41 chapters spread across
the country. ISHRAE organizes Lectures, Seminars, Expositions like ACREX India,
Training Workshops, publishes technical Handbooks, Journals, Directories etc.
Specifically ISHRAE runs a Certification Program on Clean Room Design &
Construction that is relevant to ensure Good Manufacturing Practices in the
Pharma, Electronics and Food Industry. For further details, please visit http://ishrae.in/
