Design of Solar & Geothermal Energy Systems w/John Siegenthaler
Oct 24, 2008 Mohawk Valley Community College, Utica, New York 315-792-5300 adean@mvcc.edu
Two technical seminars and a product show
for engineers.
Interest in active solar energy and geothermal heat pump
systems is increasing as fast as the price of conventional fuel. Engineering
firms and mechanical contractors are being asked to incorporate these
subsystems into both residential and commercial HVAC systems.
To
address this need, the Center for Community and Economic Development at Mohawk
Valley Community College will offer a unique seminar and trade show event
addressing both topics.
The morning seminar (8-11 a.m.) will
cover design concepts for active solar thermal systems including collector
types, efficiency, freeze protection methods, control options, and piping
design for both domestic water heating and space heating applications.
The afternoon seminar (1-4 p.m.) will cover the design of
geothermal heat pump systems, including how they operate, earth heat exchanger
options, performance factors, sizing information and how geothermal systems can
be combined with hydronic distribution systems.
A two-hour
trade show/lunch buffet will take place between the two seminars (11 a.m. to 1
p.m.). Several companies will display hardware related to both solar and
geothermal energy systems on display. Attendees can choose to attend either
three-hour seminar and the midday trade show/buffet, or register for the entire
day. Each half-day seminar provides three professional development hours (PDH)
toward NYS Professional Engineers continuing education requirements.
THE
INSTRUCTOR: John
Siegenthaler, P.E. is a mechanical engineering graduate of Rensellaer
Polytechnic Institute and a licensed professional engineer. He has 30 years of
