A world of knowledge with Rittal CPD seminars

>Topics explored within the programme now include:  the relocation of data centres; their energy efficiency; the application of IEC 61439; enclosure equipment protection; and energy efficient cooling.

>The seminars have all been reviewed and assessed by the Chartered Institute of Building Engineers (CIBSE), to ensure the technical content is of a high standard. All attendees receive a certificate as evidence of their participation. The seminars are free of charge and include short informative

>presentations and a workshop.

>New for this year is a seminar on energy efficient cooling, covering: an overview of the importance of the adequate provision of appropriate cooling when specifying enclosures; and how thermal performance, more than any other element, will form the base line for the design of any enclosure. The seminars cover the need for enclosure cooling; the cost of ignoring overheating; tell-tale signs that an existing enclosure is too hot; methods to establish the enclosure internal temperature; cooling solutions for particular environments; impact of incorrect installation and ser service and maintenance. It is aimed at mechanical engineers, facilities managers, estates managers, electrical engineers and IT managers.

>Also new for this year is a seminar on enclosure equipment protection, covering: the considerations needed to ensure the correct and safe specification of industrial enclosures; and providing the right environment for the equipment being installed will deliver the best solution, safety and reliability. The seminar covers an array of topics including what is an enclosure; equipment protection; IP and IK ratings and the effects of modification; security; noise levels; maintenance etc. It is aimed at mechanical engineers, facilities managers, estates managers, electrical engineers and IT managers.

>The remainder of the seminars will reflect last year's successful series and include: building a data centre in the perfect storm; an introduction to the application of IEC 61439; and data centre energy efficiency.
