Advanced electrode boilers are being installed to replace outdated, inefficient fuel-burning equipment in district heating applications as part of broader effort to meet ambitious International Energy Agency decolonization ...
And, of course, systems combining both are also beginning to be deployed. District heating and District Cooling structures To understand how a District Heating (DH), District Cooling (DC) or combined (DHC) system works, it’s necessary to understand its ...
This visit strengthened the bond of manufacturers and governement entities and encouraged company to take steps towards even more projects of renewable district heating systems. We are very grateful to Mrs Indriksone for her time to visit our company and for her involvement in closely following the energy and economic sectors and participants of ...
A heat exchanger is a device that transfers (or exchanges) heat from one fluid to another. There are many different names for heat exchangers because of their varied applications. When considering what you want from a heat exchanger you should think about which medium you want to heat or cool and what you are ...
In this particular case the supplied Organic Rankine Cycle system is composed of two ZE-50-ULH ORC modules having an output of 50 kWe each, fed by waste heat recovered from the cooling jackets and the exhaust fumes of two MAN 420 model 2842 LE 211 gensets, fueled by vegetable oil and rated at 420kWE electrical output. ...
We’ve often heard that for companies to lessen carbon footprint and become environmentally friendly, they must go online or put their papers and process in the “cloud”. But that’s not really the case, as storing files in the cloud also translates to renting a physical space where those data will be stored and accessed when needed. These places are called data centers. They ...

OWNER York University LOCATION Toronto, Ontario, Canada PRODUCT Taurus™ 60 (5 MW) Gas Turbine CUSTOMER VALUE Energy Cost Reduction The Taurus 60 gas turbine generator set and a supplementary-fired exhaust heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) cogenerate approximately 5 MW of electricity and from 11113 kg/hr (24,500 Ib/hr) (unfired) to 29 484 kg/hr (65.000 Ib/hr) of steam ...
Reasons for CHP The original University of Oregon district heating system and central power plant were built in 1921. The power plant was relocated and capacity expanded in 1948 when World War II veterans were released from military duty and returned to school. ...
The GRU South Energy Center is comprised of a CHP system that delivers district heating and cooling tthe hospital as well as reliable power. The CHP system is housed in a structure designed twithstand Category 4 hurricane force winds. ...
In the United States alone, wastewater holds enough energy potential to generate 851 trillion BTU of energy annually, according to the American Biogas Council. This is enough to heat 13 million homes (almost all the homes in California). The American Biogas Council observed: Wastewater is a renewable resource. ...
Community heating specialist Switch2 Energy Limited has published a guide to the latest legislative changes affecting the UK's communal energy and district heating schemes and what they mean for heat suppliers. ...
Clarke Energy showcases GE’s Jenbacher combined heat and power (CHP) engines at the 67 acre, Kings Cross development at Hoare Lea. ...
The scheme comprises a single biomass boiler which supplies hot water and heating to all 25 properties on the Kirkdale Manor Development through a community heating system of pre-insulated underground pipes. ...
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. ...
Due to the thermal recovery, it produces annually 84 GWhour of electrical energy and therefore saves 250’000 litres of fuel oil by providing energy to a district heating system. Background and history of the KVA Linthgebiet The local government of the Glarus region constructed the incinerator in Niederurnen between 1971 and 1973. ...
In this paper, a new hybrid geothermal and solar driven absorption cooling system (ACS) is proposed for low–temperature district energy applications. ...
In this study, three new exergy parameters, namely total exergy destruction ratio, component exergy destruction ratio and dimensionless exergy destruction are introduced in addition to energetic renewability ratio, exergetic renewability ratio, energetic reinjection ratio and exergetic reinjection ratio, and compared for Edremit and Bigadic Geothermal District ...
The concept of the RUTA water-cooled, water-moderated pool-type nuclear reactor is presented. The basic findings of the RUTA-70 pilot district-heating plant in the science town of Obninsk, Kaluga Region, Russia, and its capabilities for nuclear technology research purposes, are shown. The basic technical data of the reactor facility are presented and its design is described in brief. The ...
This study deals with an investigation of capital costs and thermodynamic losses for devices in the Balcova Geothermal District Heating Systems (BGDHS). Thermodynamic loss rate-to-capital cost ratios are used for components and the overall system, and a systematic correlation is found between capital cost and exergy loss (total ...
Due to the fact that this new technology is quite cost-intensive, high annual load duration of the energy system above the surface is needed for an economic operation. Therefore, a process of electricity production by using low temperature steam (Organic-Rankine-Cycle (ORC) or Kalina-Cycle) or a plant for the supply of thermal heat and hot water could be ...
