Industrial refrigeration systems are a significant consumer of electrical energy in food processing, cold storage, and chemical processing industries throughout the Midwestern United States.
This webinar, presented by Bryan Hackett, P.E., of kW Engineering, will covered the following topics:
• The basics of industrial refrigeration systems,
• A review of proven energy efficiency measures (EEMs) and how to identify potential applications for each, and
• The respective energy and cost savings for each.
Industrial and commercial utility program managers, end-user plant managers, refrigeration system operators, contractors, and solution vendors will get a better understanding of industrial refrigeration as an integrated system, how key components can be optimized to improve efficiency, and the energy and financial motivations for pursuing the discussed EEMs

Design of waste heat driven vapour adsorption cooling system for vehicle air ...eSAT Journals
Abstract In this present era more & more focus is to be given on energy conservation. Refrigeration & air conditioning is one of the growing field of engineering, the existing system are hampering the environment as they are suffering from various environmental problems such as depletion of ozone layer & global warming due to emission of harmful gases such as HFC’s ,CFC’s & CO2 as they were using traditional refrigerants. Waste heat driven Vapour adsorption cooling system is eco-friendly, efficient, & reliable in nature. But on the other hand this system having lowers COP as compare to existing systems which is Due to the lack of research and advancement in the system. By considering the environmental aspects & need of energy conservation it is necessary to design and developed the VAR’s system which will successfully compete the existing systems. This paper will give the idea about the Design of waste heat driven vapour adsorption system of 2KW capacity for vehicle air-conditioning & refrigeration application. The adsorber bed is the heart of the cooling system and it can affect the performance of the system to the greater extent. So that while designing the VAR cooling system more focused is given on design and selection of adsorber bed. This article mainly focused on the various and important design parameters of the vapour adsorption cooling system Such as Adsorber bed design, adsorber and adsorbate mass, design of evaporator & condenser, Coefficient of performance(COP), Specific cooling power (SCP) and the other performance affecting parameters. Keywords: Vapour Adsorption, Design Parameters, Low Grade Thermal Energy, Adsorbate & Adsorbent.

Appropriation Sample
1. SUBJECT: Coolant Recycling System
REQUEST #:
FUNDS: $XX,XXX
Strategy
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Capital funds in the amount of $XX,XXX.XX are required in order to purchase, fabricate, and install a
coolant recycling system. The current management process for coolant maintenance is to use it to end of
life cycle, then dispose of it after processing through the evaporator. Annual average cost of new coolant
purchases over last three years is about $XXX,XXX Through the recycling process,we will see a minimum
10% reduction within the first year of implementation ($XX,XXX). This percentage will improve as the
program matures.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:
The system will hold up to XXXX gallons of coolant. There are three holding tanks where contaminants are
continuously removed from the coolant. System will require an air supply and standard electrical connection.
There is a single control panel that measures coolant level controls the transfer and processing of coolant.
JUSTIFICATION:
Current coolant management practices result in high product cost and machine downtime due to servicing
coolant sumps for draining and recharge of necessary metal working fluids. By withdrawing coolant from
machines before it reaches the point of expiration, it can be reformulated and reused rather than disposed of. As
the program evolves, the goal will be an annual reduction of new coolant purchases of approximately XX%.
Additionally, used coolant/oil is a leading contributor to our Industrial process waste stream. This initiative
supports environmental metric goal reductions for 20XX goals of recycled and non-recycled waste.
Furthermore, it establishes a foundation to address recycling opportunities toward the 20XX Environmental
goals. Directly affected metrics include Green House Gas by reducing natural gas burner use at the evaporator
(XXKccf and $XXXXX), purchased city water will reduce by XXXKgals, used coolant disposal and
transportation will be reduced by XXXKlbs, and $XXXXX in transportation costs. Total expected savings in
year 1 of the initiative is $XXXXX dollars. This figure does not include oil services labor or down/service time
on the production machines involved.
ALTERNATIVES:
Various companies were solicited for alternative solutions. EH&S staff and Site benchmarked
manufacturing facilities in Connecticut utilizing different models of coolant recycling systems. One of the
sites was the coolant management team selected as a finalist for the leadership awards in 20XX. (A copy of
the leadership package can be supplied upon request). Based on the number of machines in the facility,
floor space available, and volume of coolant that will be processed,this technology and eventual
management strategy was selected. EHS research supports that recycling systems can reduce coolant
purchases by the aforementioned minimum XX% to XX%, with growth potential to XX%. Associated
disposal costs and volumes are also expected to be at least XX%. Simple system payback is anticipated to
be XX months or slightly less, (when factoring in labor and down/service time) depending on energy and
waste transportation costs.

2. RISK & OPPORTUNITIES:
There are no risks associated with this investment only the opportunity for improvement; such as a cleaner
more effective work environment and the continued support toward the reduction of environment, health and
safety hazards in the workplace. The list below identifies additional opportunities:
Improvement on productivity, tool life, and part
finish
Superior coolant condition & reduced odor complaints
Overall cleanliness of coolant part of machines Reduced disposal/shipping liability associated
with waste product
Green initiative with lower water consumption Cleaner less pungent odors from evaporator
Positive culture change among operators Less downtime for machines during coolant change
OPERATIONAL PLAN:
This is an out of plan request for Capital. Capital approval is expected in December 20XX, followed by a
purchase order. Receipt of equipment and install will be completed in March, and system will become
operational in April, with Capital Closure in July 20XX.
