ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9

Meetings Information

TC 9.9 has identified the following technical programs and meetings at the next ASHRAE Conference that is of interest to the data center community:

Panel 1: Liquid Cooling Data Center Deployments User Case: A Recipe for Success

Sunday, June 23 
1:30 PM – 3:00 PM EDT
Program Level: Basic
Program Track: Fundamentals and Applications
Session Type: Panel
Location: JW Marriott – Indianapolis, Grand Ballroom 3
Summary:

With the accelerating transition to liquid-cooled (LC) ITE, the paradigm is shifting for team engagement and project execution. This session discusses key differences in facility technical requirements for AC vs LC ITE and walk through an example engagement of a project team scoping, designing, constructing and deploying liquid-cooled ITE in a data center. Different liquid-cooling topologies, hybrid air- and LC deployments, managing IT-solutions changes during design and construction will be discussed. Understanding the questions to ask of ITE OEMs, LC solutions providers, and design engineers and how they interface throughout the project are key to success.

Seminar 32: Leveraging Airflow/IEQ Metrics in CFD for Building Design and Operation

Tuesday, June 25 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM EDT
Program Level: Intermediate
Program Track: Building Life Cycle Assessment
Session Type: Seminar
Location: JW Marriott – Indianapolis, Grand Ballroom 9
Summary:
Computer models of indoor environments can be valuable tools for optimization during the building design stages and for diagnosis or change-management during operation. While the physical quantities (such as air speeds and temperature values) predicted by these models provide indicators for the performance of the designed space, utilizing appropriate metrics can transform these physical quantities into values that speak directly to the end-users’ requirements. This seminar presents examples of how airflow and indoor environment quality (IEQ) metrics are defined and applied to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling of indoor environments.
Chair: Vincent Tang
Technical Committee: 4.10 Indoor Environmental Modeling
Co-Sponsoring Committee: 4.3 Ventilation Requirements and Infiltration
Other Sponsoring Committee: 4.3; 4.7; 9.9

TC 9.9 sponsored seminars, conference paper session, data center related topics, etc. will be posted for each conference in the Meetings section of this website.

 

 

Attend a Committee Meeting

ALL ASHRAE committee meetings, including this TC’s meetings at the Winter and Annual Society conferences, are open to the public at no cost nor is conference registration required. Interested visitors, local chapter members, and potential new TC members are always welcome. However to attend technical program sessions sponsored by the TC will require registration and payment of any applicable fee.

Participation in an ASHRAE TC provides the opportunity to grow professionally and to contribute to the advancement of HVAC&R within an international organization recognized for shaping the future of the built environment through research, standards writing, publishing, and education.
