Thermal Workshop

2nd International Seminar and Workshop
Measuring Thermal Resistivity in Soil and Thermal Backfill
Sponsored by Decagon Devices, Inc. in collaboration with Lab-Ferrer, Spain.

Registration will close on Friday March 30th. Contact us directly after this date for information.

April 10th & 11th, 2012
Hotel 1000 Seattle, Washington USA

Featured speakers:

James M. Tinjum, PhD., University of Wisconsin - Madison

Mike Beanland, Senior Electrical Engineer, TriAxis Engineering, Vancouver, WA

Gaylon Campbell, PhD., Senior Researcher and Engineer, Decagon Devices, Inc.

Are more of your jobs requiring soil thermal resistivity measurements?

Join us for this comprehensive seminar and hands-on workshop focused on best practices and new research for measuring thermal resistivity in soil and backfill. Gain knowledge and practice necessary to compete for today's increasing number of underground power projects, such as utilities, data centers, wind, and solar. Learn why measuring thermal properties is a crucial part of underground power projects and master the most popular method for making these measurements. Topics will include:

Principles of heat and moisture transport in soils

Compiling useful and relevant modeling parameters

Ampacity calculations/Neher-McGrath

Factors affecting soil thermal properties: compaction, moisture, temperature, and mineral composition.

Instrumentation and standards to measure RHO and diffusivity

Hands-on workshop instruction using Decagon's KD2 Pro Thermal Properties Meter.

COST: $800.00

REGISTER NOW! We have a limited number of rooms blocked for this event.
