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

Conference chairman: Dr Kamel Hooman

It has been a great pleasure to organize the 17th

IAHR international conference on cooling tower and heat exchanger

held in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia from 7th

– 11th

September 2015. The Queensland Geothermal Energy

Centre of Excellence (QGECE) of the University of Queensland is honoured to host the conference with the support

from the Industrial Committee and Cooling Tower and Air-Cooled Heat Exchanger working group of IAHR.

The conference, one of the largest international events on cooling towers and heat exchangers, provides the

participants with a unique opportunity to present their findings and products. Following a number of successful

international conferences under the same name, the last one was held in Minsk, Belarus in 2013.

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

suppliers and power plant staff from all over the world to address the latest developments in cooling technologies,

to exchange ideas, and to create networking and collaboration opportunities for. Your participation and support is

deeply appreciated.

About 70 cooling tower and heat exchanger experts from all over the world will present their work during the

conference. I hope you benefit from the conference and enjoy your stay in beautiful Gold Coast!

As Session Chair you are responsible for:

• housekeeping: mobile phones, location of toilets, etc.

• helping speakers get ready for their presentation

• 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 10 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

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

time limit.

Media – All presenters are kindly requested to hand in their presentation material (MEMORY STICK - USB )

to the technical assistants in the media check desk at least one hour before the scheduled time of his/her

session. Please make sure that your data media are marked properly with your SESSION-ID, PAPER NAME.

Before the session start, the files will be loaded on the computer in the oral session room. Personal laptops

cannot be used in meeting rooms while giving presentations.

Preparation – Acceptable format for presentations is MICROSOFT POWERPOINT.

Note: You can also send your presentation by email it to [email protected] no late than 12:00pm, 4th

September 2015. The presentation sent before this date will be uploaded to the computer in the
