www.ASHRAE-eLearning.org Craig Drumheller SSPC 90.2, Research Strategic Plan Goals Supported: A2, A5 Economic Data Base in Support of Standard 90.2 The objective is to assess and compile building cost data for the 04/08 – 03/09 combinations or variations of construction identified herein, and NAHB Research Center document the results in a report. Cost data shall be collected in the Principal Investigator: market areas having the greatest housing construction activity. 1481-RP TRAIN DIRECT WITH ASHRAE ONLINE, ANYTIME 09/07 – 08/09 Kansas State University Principal Investigator: Mohammad Hosni TC 4. 1, Load Calculations and Procedures Co-funding: $10,000 CIBSE Research Strategic Plan Goals Supported: A6 1482-RP Update to Measurements of Office Equipment Heat Gain Data The main objective of this research is to update the widely used data that has been included in the Fundamentals Handbook’s “Cooling Load” chapter. The desired outcome is to develop data that is very similar to that developed previously but reflecting the new generation of equipment that is widely used today. 04/07 – 03/09 Purdue University Principal Investigator: Eckhard Groll TC 3. 1, Refrigerants & Secondary Coolants Co-funding: $35,000, ARTI Research Strategic Plan Goals Supported: A6, A8, C6, D7 1484-RP Energy and Performance of Secondary Coolant Low-Temperature Refrigeration Systems The objective of this project is to perform a systematic investigation of the SCS energy efficiency and enhancement potential of the most promising SCS approaches in order to establish design features that will provide comparable or better energy efficiency than DXS. This objective is to be completed in two phases, with Phase I being the only topic of this work statement. Phase II is anticipated to follow upon completion of Phase I and would be competitively bid. 12/07 – 09/08 Gatley & Associates Principal Investigator: Don Gatley TC 1. 1, Thermodynamics and Psychrometrics Research Strategic Plan Goals Supported: C1, C2, C6 1485-RP Psychrometric Research (1) Update the 1060-RP research of Nelson & Sauer to extend the temperature range from the present low temperature of 0°C to minus 60°C by incorporating the 2006 correlations for the properties of H2O Ice 1-h released in September 2006 by IAPWS (Feistel, R. and Wagner, W.); (2) provide new SI and IP Tables 2 and 3 for the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals (3) provide complete documentation; and (4) provide a Fortran code listing for the complete temperature range of –60°C to 320°C. TAKE ALL COURSES FOR ONE FEE 04/08 – 04/10 University of Nebraska –Lincoln Principal Investigator: Haorong Li TC 7.5, Smart Building Systems Research Strategic Plan Goals Supported: D1, D5, E1 1486-RP Fault Detection and Diagnostics for Centrifugal Chillers – Phase III: Online-Time Implementation The objective of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of two electrically driven chiller FDD methods and to produce a specification for an algorithm that could be incorporated within commercial products. First, the methods will be evaluated online in a laboratory environment, followed by evaluation in the field. One method to be tested and procedures for conducting the evaluation were determined by Phase II of research project 1275-RP. www.ASHRAE-eLearning.org 08/08 – 02/10 Tennessee Tech University Principal Investigator: Stephen Idem TC 5.2, Duct Design Research Strategic Plan Goals Supported: A6 1488-RP Laboratory Testing of Flat Oval Duct Fittings to Determine Loss Coefficients The objective of this research is to test four common flat oval junction fittings to determine their total pressure loss coefficients, and update the ASHRAE Duct Fitting Database (2006). The tests are to be conducted in compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 1201999, Method of Testing to Determine Flow Resistance of HVAC Ducts and Fittings. www.info.hotims.com/16018-97 80 ASHRAE Journal ashrae.org October 2008
