Main Meeting: Natatorium Design and Dehumidification Speaker: Ralph Kittler, PE, Co-Founder and Director of Sales & Marketing for Seresco Technologies Inc
These facilities are notoriously complex to design and can be expensive to operate. The presentation covers the many critical system design aspects of a Natatorium which include the fundamentals of psychrometrics, dew point, humidity/condensation control, moisture load calculation, IAQ & air distribution, ventilation requirements, water chemistry and how to optimize your operating conditions to minimize operating costs.
Mr. Kittler is an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer and has been in the dehumidification and Natatorium
design field for 25 years. He is TC 9.8’s reviser responsible for the chapter which covers Natatorium Design in
ASHRAE’s 1999/2003/2007/2011 Applications Design Handbooks. He is also TC 8.10’s chairman and their
Handbook subcommittee chair for the Mechanical Dehumidifiers chapter (24) in the Systems and Equipment
Handbook. Mr. Kittler is a Professional Engineer with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lakehead
University, Ontario Canada in 1989.
Tech Session: The Fundamentals of Psychrometrics Speaker: Jesse Fisher PE, CPD, Senior Engineer with WB Engineer+Consultants Psychrometrics has applications to nearly every aspect of HVAC design. This presentation will cover psychrometric properties of moist air and a tutorial on how to use the psychrometic chart to plot properties of moist air, trace HVAC processes, and diagram full systems. We’ll cover the design and diagnostic applications of psychrometric system analysis and spend some time talking about the complexity of part load system operation.
Jesse Fisher has over 11 years of experience and has served the greater Washington D.C. Metropolitan
area as a Consulting Engineer with a primarily focus in the institutional, laboratory, multifamily and commercial
sectors. With degrees in Architectural Engineering from Penn State University, Jesse has a background that
includes his time spent as an adjunct professor at UMBC.

President’s Pen
Our last regular meeting of the 2016-17 year will be held at the ESB on the evening of Thursday May 4th. For our meal we will once again try to have those awesome crab cakes the ESB is known to serve. At our May 4th meeting we will also be awarding prizes to the students from Harford Technical High School and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute who performed the best during the student challenge held on April 1st. Many thanks to Rob Broczowski of Mueller Associates and Sam Philipp of JMT who did another fantastic job of putting on this event. The students indicated that this was the best challenge ever. Thanks also to BKM for hosting this event. Our theme for our May meeting is Research Promotion. Bring your checkbook! Or better yet, make a donation online. Membership Promotion and Research Promotion are huge in our society and encouraging Membership and making donations to Research are two of the best ways that you can help our chapter and our professional society. At our last meeting we had a highly informative Tech Session presented by Ron Heymann of ABB on the “Application of VFDs”. Our Main Meeting topic was presented by John Fischer of SEMCO on “Applying Total Energy Recovery in Lab Environments”. Many thanks again to Advanced Thermal Solutions for sponsoring our Networking Hour at our April meeting. Our May 4th Chapter Meeting will feature a Main Meeting on “Natatorium Design and Dehumidification”. Our Tech Session is on “The Fundamentals of Psychrometrics”. Many thanks to all of the professionals at HAVTECH for sponsoring our Networking Hour this month. The ballot for the Baltimore Chapter of ASHRAE Board of Governors for the 2017-2018 year is included in this Thermogram. The deadline for voting has been extended due to the underwhelming response received thus far. Please take a moment and send me your completed ballot. On Friday June 2nd we will hold our 60th Annual Golf Outing and Banquet! This year, as in recent years, the golf event will be held at Turf Valley Country Club. I hope to see you on the links!!
