By using a Circular ThermalTM methodology to optimize thermal systems, customers understand their true energy requirements, and identify the best solutions to complete the decarbonization journey. Today, high temperature heat pumps can reach temperatures up to 248°F. This allows heat pumps to be used in more energy-intensive applications, while still offering the benefit of a positive return on investment with lower energy consumption. This session will discuss the benefits, challenges, and workings of the industrial heat pumps.

Industrial heat pumps session 1: Using Circular Thermal and Pinch Methodology to recognize industrial heat pump opportunities in light industry

Mar 26, 2024

Decarbonizing the chemical industry can feel like a daunting task, but it has a substantial impact on the environment and energy savings. One reason for the difficulty in decarbonizing this sector is the thermal energy-intensive processes using non-renewables for heat. Decarbonizing these processes without the right technology and experience lead to rushing capex and opex requirements. This in turn leads to poor or negative returns on investments and the possibility of missing decarbonization goals. Fortunately, there are ways to decarbonize thermal systems with a positive return on investment. This can be accomplished by incorporating a methodology Armstrong International calls Circular ThermalTM. Circular ThermalTM includes thermal mapping studies and Pinch Analyses to identify waste heat streams where direct heat recovery - using coils, and low-grade heat recovery using heat pumps - can help achieve decarbonization goals.

Automated Fault Detection and Diagnosis of Packaged Rooftop Units Using A Data-Driven Approach -2022 Student Research Award

Oct 11, 2023

The typical soft faults related to packaged rooftop units (RTU) include airflow reduction in the condenser and evaporator, liquid-line restricton, non-condensable gases, improper refrigerant charge, and compressor valve leakage. These faults degrade the system's performance and affect the equipment, energy consumption, and the environment. Previous research in soft fault detection for packaged rooftop units lacked model validation through lab and field data, developing a generalizable model and analyzing model performance across varying fault intensities. To fill these gaps, based on 8 measurable variables, this study proposes a machine-learning model to detect and diagnose the above soft faults from the rooftop units. The proposed model, validated using lab and field-testing sets, demonstrated predictive accuracies of 60% and 96% respectively, while also revealing higher accuracy in detecting faults with greater fault severity. With further improvements, this model has potential applications to easily detect soft faults in an industrial assessment, helping to develop additional energy and cost savings recommendations.

Power Drive Systems for Motor-Driven Equipment

Jun 2, 2022

Combining motors with adjustable speed drives and sensors to create a Power Drive System (PDS) allow the system to manage input energy (kWh) to match the load requirements and shift the focus of overall energy savings. PDSs have long been associated with variable load installations, but a recent study published by NEEA (Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance) and NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), showed the potential for savings even in constant load applications. PDS also provide non-energy benefits: including reducing peak demand, more precise control, and greater reliability. As the nation implements infrastructure improvements across the economy, the adoption of a PDS could future-proof investments in industrial, manufacturing, and other facilities. In this training, we will discuss the benefits of PDS across a wide range of applications and opportunities that PDSs provide to the IAC and its partners. As an outcome of this training we hope attendees will be equipped to recommend PDS to IAC partners more frequently, resulting in more enegry savings, carbon savings, cost savings, and process improvements.
