9. Assessment Process

10. ; Preliminary Information & Consultation Onsite Preliminary Energy Diagnostic Survey (PEDS) Identification of areas for Potential Savings Targeted System Survey Survey of Existing Equipment Measurement & Data Gathering Interview O&M personnel Identification of opportunities Savings and Cost Analysis Report Client Review of Report

11. Assessment Process ; Data Analysis & Reporting ROI, simple payback, life cycle costing Cost to benefit analysis, NPV, IRR Full report delivered Implementation Follow-up & Additional Assistance Follow-up calls and assistance Continued assistance as needed

12. The purpose of a Preliminary Energy Diagnostics Survey (PEDS) is to evaluate plant operations from an energy perspective, to identify and prioritize energy saving opportunities, and to recommend targeted energy surveys for equipment that offer the greatest potential for energy savings. Purpose of a Preliminary Energy Diagnostics Survey

13. Boilers Lighting Compressed Air HVAC Systems Chillers and Cooling Towers Motors & Pumps Preventative Maintenance Steam Systems & Steam Traps Process energy systems Systems targeted during a Preliminary Energy Diagnostics Survey

14. Typical Information gathered in a Preliminary Energy Study Air Compressors and Air Dryers There are 3 air compressors. There is one common air dryer. Compressors: Manufacturer:Ingersoll-Rand Model:SSRXFE200-25 Serial: FF1274U97151 Type:Rotary screw Horsepower:200 hp Rating:1,100 cfm Operation:116 – 125 psig

15. Chillers There is one water cooled chiller: Manufacturer:Carrier Model:30HXC106R--661KA Serial:2307Q07525 Service:Cooling water for molds Operation:Setpoint is 48° F

17. Water & Sewer Use and Cost for an Industrial Facility Data collected for a Preliminary Energy Study

19. Summary of Recommendations: The NCSU Energy Management Program (EMP) recommends the following: Compressed Air Study Convert T12 task lighting to T8. Explore the possibility of replacing the 8 ft. T12 fixtures with single fixtures containing two 4 ft. T8 lamps. Consider a Chiller and Cooling Tower Study. Consider a Motor Study

20. Lighting Surveys

23. Information Collected during a Lighting Survey Fixture quantities by type Fixture Wattage Lighting level in Footcandles Maintenance issues Electrical Rates

32. Hot Water Boilers in a School

33. Industrial Low Pressure Steam Boilers

38. At your next boiler tuneup, discuss the relatively high excess air level on Boiler No. 2 at low fire to determine if the air/fuel ratio can be leaner at low fire. Boiler No. 1 currently operates more efficiently at low fire than Boiler No. 2 (this may be corrected after burner tune-ups have been performed). Consequently, Boiler No. 1 should be operated when low fire operation is required. Tune boilers to operate most efficiently at the firing level where they operate most frequently. Install stack thermometers in the stack to monitor flue gas temeperature. Use portable flue gas analyzer to measure O2 in flue gas every 6 months (at typical operating loads). Install gas meters on the individual boilers and track individual boiler fuel usage on a monthly basis. Consider reducing steam pressure. Lower pressure in 5 psi increments and allow boiler to operate at the reduced level for several days to determine if the system operates acceptably. Consider installing economizers to heat boiler feedwater.
