An Integrated Anti-Fouling Technology for Energy Efficient Chillers
Young
I. Cho, Ph.D.
Project Objectives
Objective 1: Fabricate a prototype integrated anti-fouling (IAF) technology, which uses both a solenoid-induced precipitation and a side-stream filtration for medium to large chiller applications.
Objective 2: Demonstrate that IAF technology can limit scale deposits to maintain 90% heat transfer efficiency using cycle of concentration of 5.
Objective 3: Demonstrate that IAF technology can limit scale deposits to maintain 90% heat transfer efficiency using cycle of concentration of 8.
Objective 4: Demonstrate that IAF technology can maintain a heat transfer coefficient of over 90% for the chiller tubes.
