VP Technical Report By John Fischer Jr.
CHAPTER MEMBERS
Happy Birthday to the St. Louis Chapter of ASPE, on our 40th. Our charter was officially signed and granted on January 31, 1976.
With us at our January meeting, as we celebrated the anniversary, was the representative of the Board of Directors, Bryan L. Hutton, ASPE Board Member, Region 5 Director, and a Piping System Consultant of The Lubrizol Corporation. His update on ASPE and his presentation on Ethics In Engineering reminding the audience of our responsibility as Engineers, designers, and installers, of our responsibility to our owners was interesting and informative.
This month a presentation will be provided by Scott Blackmore from Blackmore and Glunt, Inc., a strategic business partner of Bell & Gossett. The subject will be on new technologies in two parts: “Why modulation does improve efficiency in water heating” (part 1) and an “Introduction to ECM pumps in plumbing systems” (part 2). There will be some time for questions after each part
Suggestions for meeting presentations this year and next would be very much appreciated..
Continuing education certificates will be available for this meeting and several certificates remain for other months that were not previously retrieved.
See you at the February meeting.
