First industrial application of an open absorption cycle for heat transformation in a district-heating network
The first plant for high temperature utilisation of higher heating value was realised under industrial conditions in a combined heat and power plant. The technology results in an increased heat recovery temperature and a stronger dehumidification of the flue gas. Beyond that, the use of large solution flow within an adiabatic absorber enables to combine gas scrubbing and dehumidifying. Economic ...

Why carbon reduction and energy efficiency must be combined
With all the eyes focused on carbon emissions prior to Cancun, it’s vital not to lose sight of the need to combine carbon reduction with energy efficiency. Reducing carbon emissions is generally associated with an increase in energy efficiency. But, it is possible to reduce such carbon emissions while still operating inefficient systems. A biomass boiler, for example, reduces carbon ...

Energy and exergy analysis of a 16–MW combined cycle district heating system with performance improvements
Results of an energy and exergy analyses performed on a 16–MW University district heating plant located in the Northeast USA are presented in this paper. Unlike past studies, this paper uses actual data to assess CHP plant performance for all the 8760 h in a year (2011). A system of such complexity, considering the large volume of data available and large variations in system load, has not been ...

Different types of biomass pellet boiler
Biomass boilers utilize biomass energy, such as biomass pellets, as fuel. They can be classified into different types based on the energy medium they utilize, including biomass steam boilers, biomass hot water boilers, biomass hot blast stoves, and biomass thermal oil furnaces. In terms of purpose, biomass boilers can be further classified into biomass thermal boilers and biomass electric power ...

Gatineau Hospital, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
Commercial Boiler Application Thermal Energy installed FLU-ACE system to recover 5.5 mmBTU/h of waste heat from the flue gases emanating from three Volcano water tube boilers. The single 16 ft. high FLU-ACE tower replaced three independent boiler steel stacks. The installation is unique in several ways, including the very high temperature of the flue gases (up to 650 °F) processed by the ...

Cumulative exergetic assessment of LPFO utilised steam boilers
This paper relates to a study on the energy and exergy resources, transfers, consumption and losses in the combustion and heat exchanging units of industrial steam boilers. Mass, energy and exergy analyses, which included the physical and chemical exergies of material streams, were used to investigate the energy resource utilisation of Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO) in industrial steam boilers. The ...

Rectify dry cycling of gas boilers and reduce energy costs by 25%
Building engineers, energy and facilities managers tend to overlook that many gas boilers waste energy through dry cycling when they are not actively contributing to the building heating and hot water demand. It is often thought that existing building management systems (BMS) and building energy management systems (BEMS) are optimising the boilers to remove dry cycling. However, the BMS is ...

How to Get an EPC 'C' Efficiency Rating?
As the globe begins to witness and feel the consequences of climate change, we are under increasing pressure to minimise our carbon footprint, both collectively and individually. Making our houses more energy-efficient is one of many tiny things we can do as individuals that, when done collectively, may have a big impact. By making our homes more energy efficient, we are not only conserving ...

Energy efficiency and emission reduction of TPM, PM2.5, and SO2 from natural gas and fuel oil fired boiler exhausts
Fully 8% of all of Canada’s energy consumption occurs in gas and fuel oil fired boilers in commercial and institutional facilities1, with proportional amounts of greenhouse gases, particulate matter, and other pollutants. Recently particulate matter, and in particular that smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) has garnered specific attention due to attributed health effects as demonstrated by ...

What is a Condensing Boiler and How Does it Work?
It can be all too easy to get confused about the different types of boilers and which is right for you. Today, it’s all about the condensing boiler, and building regulations specify that any new boiler installed in the UK should be a condensing type. But what are these boilers all about, and how are they different to regular boilers? What is a condensing boiler? A condensing boiler uses ...
