EISG Project Title:  An Integrated Anti-Fouling Technology for Energy Efficient Chillers

EISG Grant Number:  00-23

PIER Area:  Building End Use Efficiency

Principal Investigator:  Young Cho

Contact Information: (856) 424-8118 young@vortexaircon.com

Organization:  J&D Thermo-Fluid Technology, Inc.

Grant Amount:  $74,953

Grant Term:  12 Months

 

Project Description:

The purpose of this project is to research the feasibility of developing a solenoid-induced precipitation and side-stream filtration, which will cause excess mineral ions to precipitate out thus reducing scaling of chillers and raising their efficiency’s.

 

Proposed Outcomes: 

·        Develop ant-fouling technology for medium-to-large chiller applications

·        Demonstrate feasibility of the technology

 

 

Anticipated Benefits:

·        Increased water savings

·        Increased electrical savings

·        Reduced peak electricity demand
