An education tour cum industrial visit was organized for the students of B.Tech. 2nd year Mechanical Engineering to Umiam Stage-I, HEP, MePGCL, Sumer (a 36MW hydroelectric plant) on 2nd March 2024. They were assisted by two research scholars, two staff and two faculty advisors from the department. The students had a brief understanding of the layout as well as the functioning of the different sections of the plant, namely penstock, turbine function, power generation unit, control of power, power distribution system, etc.

 

Industrial Visit to HVAC plant at NEIGRIHMS (North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences), Mawdiangdiang, Shillong


On April 24th, 2024, 6th Semester Mechanical Engineering students had the enriching opportunity to visit the HVAC plant at NEIGRIHMS (North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences). This industrial visit provided valuable insights into the real-world application of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. The visit began with a brief introduction by the resource person from NEIGRIHMS, familiarizing the students with the various types of HVAC systems. This had been followed by a guided tour of the plant, where students could observe the equipment firsthand, including:

  • Water-cooled chillers (800 TR) along with cooling towers.
  • Air handling units (9000 CFM) that regulate temperature, humidity, and ventilation.
  •  Air-cooled chillers.

This industrial visit to the NEIGRIHMS HVAC plant served as a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical application, solidifying the understanding of HVAC principles.
