Committed to smart, sustainable technology. Utilizing Innovative Gas Heat Pump Technology to teach a broad range of material: Heating and Cooling theory Source from Gas-drive Heat Pump Power of Sustainable Technology Site vs. Source Energy Concept
3
Committed to smart, sustainable technology. Efficient heat pump cycle Gas engine-driven prime mover State-of-the-art electronic and controls Multi-cycle integration Heat recovery concepts Variable speed Heat Exchanger theory –Fluid & Heat transfer –Coefficient efficiency Gas Heat Pump (GHP) Opportunities for Teaching Theory & Principles GHP will tie into the Districts Telemetry System
4
Committed to smart, sustainable technology. Compare the GHP & EHP energy consumption Understand the difference between the kW & kWh Analyze the kW, kWh and therm difference Understand the kW, kWh and therm cost difference What are the benefits to our local, regional and national power grid Gas Heat Pump (GHP) Opportunities for Comparative Learning Supporting content for Labs and STEM education
5
Committed to smart, sustainable technology. Efficiency experiments Economic & cost modeling System and Building Integration Analysis Model the efficiency of capturing waste heat Waste heat recovery Explore comfort issues related to a real classroom Creating Great Site vs Source Discussions Gas Heat Pump (GHP) Opportunities for Creating Experiments
6
Committed to smart, sustainable technology. 28% efficient ELECTRIC – about 72% lost in generation and transmission Case Study: Site versus Source 100% 92% efficient NATURAL GAS – only 8% lost in distribution 100% Bringing Policy and Social Debates to Schools
