Evaluate implementation costs at SMi's Electric Vehicles 2012

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:57:21 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/All petrol and diesel vehicles will be removed from the roads as part of a controversial "green revolution" being drawn up by the Government, it was revealed on the 04/12. Energy secretary Chris Huhne wants all cars and vans powered entirely by renewable energy. But the move will cost Britain's motorists tens of millions of pounds. 'Green' cars are prohibitively expensive, with some such as the Toyota Prius, which emit little carbon dioxide, costing £20,000. The plan could also see 32,000 wind turbines built in the rush to meet strict green targets and power a mass electrification of the transport system and domestic heating. Meanwhile, last night it emerged Britain has spent £600million trying to promote green technologies in Third World countries since 2006. Giles Sheldrick, Daily Express, 5 December 2011

Make sure you are at the forefront of this pivotal topic and attend SMi's inaugural Electric Vehicles: Understanding the Rise of eMobility conference, taking place in Central London on the 13th and 14th February 2012.

Seattle's Top HVAC Company Shares Incredible Heat Pump Technology Advancements

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:09:18 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Seattle Heating Company MM Comfort Systems has been in the Heating and Air Conditioning Business since 1977. Having installed and repaired tens of thousands of Furnaces, Ductless Systems and Air Conditioners in the greater Seattle area, they understand all brands of heating equipment and keep up with changes in the industry. President Craig Williamson of the HVAC company in Seattle is excited to introduce new technology with one of the brands he most enjoys installing in his client's homes: "Carrier just came out with groundbreaking Greenspeed Intelligence technology in their Infinity heat pumps and furnaces. The new technology delivers comfort and efficiency not previously possible even with the highest available efficiency furnaces and heat pumps."

Earlier this year Carrier, the world leading HVAC products company, introduced the "Greenspeed Intelligence" technology with a new heat pump they offer at the ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) Conference & Indoor Air Expo in Texas. They received the highest efficiency rating of any air source heat pump on the market. The incredible benefits are provided through their Infinity(R) heat pump line.

"The key to unlocking the full potential of adaptable-speed technology is [their] exclusive Infinity control. The control uses all the information it knows about your comfort choices, [one's] home's energy use, the system as a whole and even the temperature outdoors to communicate with the system. So, the new Infinity systems with Greenspeed intelligence continually respond to the Infinity control's commands to adjust with great precision to the comfort needs of the home."

Williamson says, "In simple terms, this is like switching from analog to digital in the TV industry. Heating & cooling technology is moving away from binary on/off (or staged high - medium - low) operation to proportional control for energy using functions such as fans moving air, compressors loading and gas values." While the typical consumer might not appreciate this, Williamson knows this will be a boon to any consumer who wants the most for their comfort in their home for their family. "This is the stuff we really get excited about in our industry," quips Williamson.

MM Comfort Systems offers the Carrier heat pumps with this incredible technology. Visit their website at http://www.mmcomfortsystems.com to view product offerings. MM Comfort Systems also provides many other great Heating & Air Conditioning products including Furnaces in the Seattle area for your winter needs.

Christmas Light Displays Get 3D Projection Treatment at Texas Church

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 21:28:03 +0000

Christmas light displays have gone high-tech at White's Chapel United Methodist Church, Southlake, Texas, with a 3D projection mapping display that turns the front of the church into a giant projection screen for a joyous and colorful Celebration of Light."

/EINPresswire.com/ Southlake, TX - Christmas light displays at churches run from ho hum to inspirational, but White's Chapel United Methodist Church's "Celebrate the Light" display has people gawking and asking in amazement, "How did they do that!"

Each evening between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. (Central Time) the front face of this megachurch becomes a giant 3D projection screen for a display of Christmas lights that looks more like a Broadway or Disneyland production than traditional Christmas light displays.

3D projection mapping technology animates stationary objects with 3D video, making whole buildings appear to move in time to music and sound effects. The result is a remarkably engaging experience.

White's Chapel's "Celebrate the Light" was the dream of the church's director of creative arts, Tim Georgeff. It was made possible with equipment loan and staff assistance from a church member whose company stages high-tech productions internationally.

"The idea behind 'Celebrate the Light' was to go beyond traditional Christmas light displays to create an event to draw people in from throughout the community," Georgeff said. "The show is a gift to our neighbors, and is a great way to invite people to share in the joy of Christmas and hear about what makes this holiday so special. And who doesn't love Christmas lights?"

"Celebrate the Light" has earned rave reviews from the community. It is building an international audience of Christmas lights seekers, as well, thanks to a You Tube video that presents the full six-minute video and sound track in high-definition. The music is from the church's 2010 "Christmas Musical Experience" services.

Georgeff said the 3D projection mapping is a natural extension of the church's indoor music and light services each Christmas season. "White's Chapel uses a mix of contemporary and classical music, staged with carefully designed lighting and actors to offer a worship experience that immerses the congregation in joy of the Christmas season."

Church members hope the outdoor Christmas light displays will attract more people to its popular Christmas Musical Experience" services Dec. 10 and 11.

This year's presentation, "Born Where the Shadows Lie," will be streamed live on the church's website at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10, as well as 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 11, Central Time. The "Celebrate the Light" outdoor Christmas lights will be presented each evening through Christmas Eve.

Large Particle Ash: A Million Dollar Problem?

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 09:03:19 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ HOLDEN, MA - Large particle ash (LPA) poses a serious threat for coal-fired utilities today. First brought to light with the advent of retrofitted Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to address federal NOx regulations, particle ash build-up has become a million dollar problem, one that plant operators can't afford to ignore.

When left unchecked, LPA buildup wreaks havoc within a plant's SCR system, causing gas pass pluggage, sub-par performance, increased emissions, ammonia slip—and outages. One unplanned outage from ash build-up can cost an 800 MW power plant a half-million dollars per day or more. And just a half-pound of LPA per hour - a tiny percentage of the 30,000-80,000 lbs of ash typically produced in that time — can clog up a catalyst in as little as 3 to 6 months. Experts at Alden say there's no clear way to stop large particle ash from forming. But with a three-step approach, plants can protect their performance, permitting status and their bottom line:

Step One: Start with good housekeeping.
Plants can avoid a lot of damage by systematizing their cleaning and inspection processes, including emptying ash hoppers on a routine basis. During planned outages, inspect screens and systems for signs of ash buildup or wear and tear.

Step Two: Understand your problem.
Every plant is different. Modeling with actual ash samples from the plant helps operators determine the type of ash they're dealing with, its aerodynamic density, and how ash particles are moving through the plant - the solid data they need to evaluate effective fixes.

Step Three: Create a systemic change.
Trap ash within the economizer outlet hoppers and prevent it from clogging up the catalyst by making internal geometric changes such as adding "kicker" plates and/or outlet screens. Plants may also troubleshoot the problem by changing fuel sources or adjusting firing conditions. However, these latter options can be costly and may not achieve the desired result.
