“Data Center Free Cooling from Intermediate Fluid
Vaporizer Process”
Dr. Montri Wiboonrat – Thammasat University – Patumtani, Thailand
3 CECs
Applying technology of Intermediate Fluid Vaporizers (IFV) for data center
cooling systems reduces data center operating costs by half. The waste energy
from process of LNG Vaporizer for LNG Regasification Terminal can be applied
as a free cooling source for data center cooling systems. This process is going to
reduce long term operating costs by 50%, making return on investment shorter
than five years.
Pre-Conference Seminars (choose one)
1–4:30 p.m.
“Back to Basics: Realizing Cabling Determines Design”
F. Patrick Mahoney, RCDD – Direct Supply Aptura –
West Seneca, New York, USA
3 CECs
Are your designs constructable? Will cables pass testing the first time? This
seminar will review how things you thought you knew could be wrong. Many
installers and designers have you over simplified conduit sizing. In this seminar,
you will develop confidence you have considered all the parameters when sizing
conduits for varied cables and installations. Attendees will review and calculate
pulling tension. We will examine cabling distribution design implementation for
installation, adds and changes.
“Beyond 2019: Insights Into Fiber Optic Connector
Technology—A Study for Designers, Installers and Trainers”
Edward J. Forrest, Jr. – RaceMarketingServices – Marietta, Georgia, USA
3 CECs
As fiber optic deployments expand, new users are incorporated. Some “fear the
medium.” Time and again, while design and installation are critical, the majority
of “problems” are centered on proper inspection and cleaning techniques. Existing
standards are driven by commercial products. This seminar is based on “science”
and resolves 60+ percent of network problems: proper cleaning methods and
procedures. The seminar promotes science rather than commercialism!
“The Modern Workspace: Wired and Wireless
AV Collaboration”
Karl Rosenberg – Extron Electronics – Anaheim, California, USA
3 CECs
With AV collaboration rooms and collaboration hardware and software on the
rise, current CATx infrastructure makes integration of these technologies possible
with relative ease. With our ability to connect from nearly anywhere in the world,
collaboration rooms have become commonplace and more popular than ever.
Communication in the workplace is necessary in all forms and has become an
integral part of projects, planning and management. Employees are more
commonly using BYO style devices and are tasked with sharing content from
a variety of different operating systems, often using software codecs like SKYPE
or ZOOM as their means of connecting. Solutions are emerging that make these
modern workspaces more simple to install and design. In this seminar, we are
going to discuss the changes and considerations to the modern collaboration
workspace and infrastructure, as well as give you the tools needed to enable
you to address the challenges of collaboration workspace installations. We will
discuss Video over Twisted Pair, including HDBaseT, HDMI and USB. Focus will be
placed on recording and streaming to remote locations, followed by a discussion
into the new world of AV over IP and network infrastructure at our conclusion.
