Speaker: Jody Samuel

Solving Hydraulic Separation Problems in Hydronic Systems: This session is designed to look at the potential problems

the hydronic system designer. We will examine primary secondary piping

arrangements and methods of hydraulically decoupling the system to ensure proper pump performance for the hydronic system. Additionally, we will explore the need for dirt and air separation and how to effectively combine multi-

cost effective.

Hydronic & Domestic Hot Water System Balancing: In this presentation we will examine the need for balancing in hydronic and hot water systems. In addition we will discuss the problems encountered with unbalanced systems. We will explore the various balancing devices available including how they work and what is required to properly set them. Finally we will discuss the process of balancing a system.

After the presentation, the group was provided a tour of Limbach’s facility and was able to see how Limbach is fabricating various components within their shop which will be transported later to the construction site.

Thank you to our December meeting sponsor, Limbach, for hosting this event!

The speaker for our December meeting was Mark Lamberson who presented on Fabrication: The Dissection of Your Design.

fabricated off-site as well as the advantages to completing the work off-site. One advantage to fabricating at an off-site location is lean construction. When working on the job site, scrap materials are often thrown away however when working in a shop setting those materials can be saved and utilized in the future. Other advantages to completing work off-site are removing the impact of weather that may delay the schedule, the requirement for burn permits on the construction site and storage space on site.

In addition to the advantages, Mark also discussed several reasons that would discourage completing the fabrication off-site.
