Welcome to

17th IAHR International Conference on Cooling Tower and Heat Exchanger,

7th – 11th September 2015, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

Organized by

The University of Queensland, Australia

Dr Kamel Hooman

We are pleased to announce that the 17th IAHR international conference on cooling tower and heat

exchanger is to be held in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia from 7th – 11th September 2015. The

Queensland Geothermal Energy Centre of Excellence (QGECE) of the University of Queensland will organize

the conference with the support from the Industrial Committee and Cooling Tower and Air-cooled Heat

Exchanger working group of IAHR.

The conference is one of the largest international events which give unique opportunity for the participants

to present the state-of-the-art technologies in both cooling tower and air-cooled heat exchangers.

Following a number of successful international conferences under the same name, the last one was held in

Minsk, Belarus in 2013, which attracted 70 attendees from 16 countries.

The conference aims to bring together academics, researchers, cooling tower, manufacturers, industrial

experts, suppliers and power plant staff from all over the world in various disciplines to address the latest

developments in cooling technologies, to exchange ideas, and to open chances for cooperation. You are

invited and encouraged to participate.

ensuring your allocated session starts on time

Introduce the speakers

ensuring a 15-minute presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions/answers

Conclude the session on time

Session Chairs should check your session starting time from the conference program and get to know the

presenters in your session at least 1o minutes before the session start. Should a speaker fail to appear, you

may assign extra time for other speaker in your session, but stick to the overall scheduled time to your

session.


Guidelines for Presenters

Duration – The time allotted for each presenter is 15 MINUTES PRESENTATION and 5 MINUTES

QUESTIONS/ANSWRES. To be able to keep to the tight schedule, it is required that all presenters meet this

time limit.
