Triennial district cooling technical roundtable event in Dubai will discuss hydronic balancing

Dubai, UAE, December 23, 2012

A four-hour-long roundtable discussion on hydronic balancing will be the centrepiece of 'DC Dialogue', a triennial district cooling event, to be held on February 6 in Dubai. Being organised by CPI Industry, the publishers of Climate Control Middle East magazine, DC Dialogue looks at technology in district cooling.

Hydronic balancing is a critical aspect of district cooling and ensures thermal comfort to tenants and all end-users. The roundtable will discuss several issues and sub-issues of compelling importance, such as the manner in which hydronic balancing can help extend the life of district cooling plants at higher efficiency, the role of differential pressure regulators, operations and maintenance, and the Low Delta T Syndrome and mitigation efforts.

Hydronic balancing can also help reduce the tenant's monthly bill on district cooling. High charges for receiving chilled water constitute a prickly issue among tenants that needs to be addressed sooner than later, in order to strengthen the acceptance of district cooling in the Middle East.

Participants in the roundtable will include district cooling utility providers, developers, consultants, contractors, manufacturers and suppliers, all with a deep-rooted interest in the topic. In attendance among the audience will be end-users with technical expertise, and other industry stakeholders.

"DC Dialogue serves a specific need for a no-holds-barred discussion on a technical issue of relevance," said B Surendar, Editorial Director & Associate Publisher of CPI Industry. "It is intense and calls for immersion and an affinity for detail, the likes of which other conference formats do not afford."

DC Dialogue, launched in 2007, has avowedly stuck to discussing technical issues. In the inaugural year, the event discussed operation and maintenance issues in district cooling, which resulted in a 41-page report, which is still in demand, considering the range and depth of its contents. DC Dialogue in 2013 will also result in a document containing the proceedings of the February roundtable discussion.

About CPI Industry
CPI Industry is a publishing house, which started producing events as an extension of its communications drive in the HVACR industry through its magazine (Climate Control Middle East) and directories.

While the magazine largely focuses on core HVACR aspects, the events probe the core and all allied areas, be they power security (district cooling and cogeneration), food security (refrigeration), food safety & quality assurance (again, refrigeration) and air quality.

CPI Industry started conducting events in May 2007, starting with the unique DC Dialogue, a technically intensive, roundtable-format discussion on the district cooling industry. Since then, CPI Industry has established a portfolio of events, all with the singular purpose of information exchange and raising the bar on technology and business solutions in the region.
