Cooling Technology Institute’s Annual Conference in New Orleans

At this CTI Annual Conference show I was there alone, but got to spend time with one of my Customers Tony Balliagues, a Canadian, that I ran into there. On this trip I realized how much I love the combined art and music you find in Orleans. And of course, the food is really good too; there is just no other place quite like it in the US.

26 technical papers were presented, along with sessions put on by the Water Treating Group (WT), the Performance and Technology Group (P&T) and the Engineering Standards and Maintenance Group (ES&M) of CTI. There was also a Water Treating Panel Discussion on Instrumentation and Control in Cooling Water Systems. Hey, that’s us!
The conference was billed to “consist of the industry’s top vendors”.
We enjoyed meeting several OEMs and are excited about working with them in the future. We got a great reception and will be working furiously to get back to all of those that requested more information or quotes. We hope to welcome many of you to our family soon. Thanks!

AHR Expo in Chicago

The American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) “AHR Expo” in Chicago this year turned out to be a record breaker for attendance. Over 62,000 visitors from over 140 were in attendance for the 2015 Annual Meeting, according to ASHAE. A consolidation between ASHRAE and the Indoor Air Quality Association was also finalized by both organizations at the conference.
We had a great time – a special thanks goes out to all of the great people we talked with. Many were genuinely interested in how our water level controllers could upgrade and modernize their systems, and we had many conversations with both contactors and OEMs, several of whom we are already talking with further.
AHR Expo in Chicago It was a pretty cold visit to Chicago this year, but we had a good time there. We did get a bit tired walking around the conference and one day even braved the cold on foot back to the hotel, but a cab was the proper way to travel in that weather. At nights we were on a quest to find the best Italian food and even had several different kinds of pizza at three different restaurants. Our favorite food on this visit turned out to be at a place called Tuscany.
Next we are off to the Cooling Technology Institute’s Annual Conference in New Orleans, where we hope to see many old and, hopefully, some new, friends.
