This document describes the development of Malaysia's first satellite remote chilled water storage system for district cooling. The system was built at Gas District Cooling's PJP4 plant in Putrajaya to store up to 100,000 tons of chilled water generated from the existing PJP2 plant during off-peak hours. The 45-meter diameter concrete tank, one of the largest in the world, helps meet peak cooling demand while reducing electrical imports and carbon emissions by 43% compared to operating electric chillers alone. Performance monitoring shows the stratified storage system operates as designed with a thin thermocline and high efficiency.
When developing data center energy-use estimations, engineers must account for all sources of energy use in the facility. Most energy consumption is obvious: computers, cooling plant and related equipment, lighting, and other miscellaneous electrical loads. Designing efficient and effective data centers is a top priority for consulting engineers. Cooling is a large portion of data center energy use, second only to the IT load. Although there are several options to help maximize HVAC efficiency and minimize energy consumption, data centers come in many shapes, sizes, and configurations. By developing a deep understanding of their client’s data center HVAC requirements, consulting engineers can help maintain the necessary availability level of mission critical applications while reducing energy consumption.

Harnessing geothermal power in islands and remote areas: The Pico Alto geothe...exergyorc
Remote areas such as islands and rural regions often face major challenges to get access to electricity, most rely on diesel generators or heavy fuel engines that implicate the use of fossil fuels causing higher economical costs for governments and growing environmental impact. Geothermal resources on volcanic islands and remote areas can represent today a viable solution to create an efficient and sustainable energy model producing electricity for local needs by means of a renewable source available 24/7. Exergy presents the 4 MW Pico Alto geothermal power plant located on Terceira Island, meeting up to more than 10% of the local energy needs and approximately 25% of the local baseload.
Experimental investigate to obtain the effectiveness of regenerator using Air.IJESFT
The regenerator is a kind of heat exchanger that provides a way to get the gas to the low temperature with as much potential work (cooling power) as possible without carrying a lot of heat with it. It doesn’t put heat in or out of the system but it absorbs heat from the gas on one part of the pressure cycle and returns heat to the gas on the other part.
More recent applications of regenerators in cryogenic systems can be found in small cryogenic refrigerators (cryocoolers). Systems such as the Stirling Gifford-McMahon, pulse tube, Solvay, Vuilleumier and magnetic cycle refrigerators all use either a static or rotary regenerator. In fact, the success these coolers have achieved is directly related to the characteristics of compact size and efficiency of the regenerator.
Regenerator effectiveness of 99% results in 21% loss of refrigeration effect, similarly regenerator effectiveness of 98% results in 42% loss of refrigeration effect, with refrigeration effectiveness of 95.238% the loss of refrigeration is 100%. i.e. no net cooling is produced.
In cryogenic applications the regenerator is typically made up of 100 to 500 meshes SS 304, Phosphorous bronze screens or small lead spheres (150 to 300 micro meters) are used, that are tightly packed together and held in place on either end in the same manner.
To develop experimental setup at our laboratory level by using air as working fluid and find out the effectiveness of various regenerative materials is basic goal of this work.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Editor's Notes
This is the outline of the presentation
This is the methodology during the development of Plant 4. Upon identifying the needs, we proceeded with the capacity planning study of the Core Island. We also did a hydraulic study on the pipe reticulation network to check the hydraulically remote location.
During the Option Study phase, we look at various generation technologies; Steam absorption chillers, direct fired chillers, electric centrifugal chillers, thermal storage and various combinations of these technologies. We also looked at the phasing of equipment in relation to the load growth & utilities price increase to arrive to the most optimal cost of ownership and generation unit cost.
We also looked at various tank configurations; cylindrical and rectangular as well as the materials to be used.
This is the aerial view of Putrajaya core island. Plot 4U2 is located mid-way of the core island; behind the Ministry of Youth and Sports building.
This is the chilled water reticulation network at Core Island. The main pipes are 900mm diameter (in blue) running from Plant 2 all the way to the Southern end.
PjP2, commissioned in 2003; designed primarily to serve Precinct 2, was extended to provide cooling to Precincts 3 and 4.
There is another plot reserved for future plant at the southern end Precinct 4
This is the load projections in 2009. The red line is the load projection based on original individual parcel’s schedule.
The historical load growth from 2003 to 2009 was averaging 3,650RT per year.
Taking into consideration PjP2’s equipment derating, the decision by GDC to construct PjP4 is timely; as the current load is about 25,000 - 26,000RT. GDC is now able to supply the load with sufficient capacity as buffer
This is a typical weekday cooling load profile of the Core Island in 2009. From 6 to 8 am, the maximum pull down load occurs. Between 6 – 7am much cooling is used to cool the water in the reticulation pipe from 18C down to 6C. The buildings start operation of the air side at about 7am. This load can be as high as 20% of the average load. From 10.30am to 5.30pm, the load is relatively constant. There is very little night load as these buildings are all government offices.
This is PjP2 available rated generating capacity. The electrical and direct fired chillers are mainly used for peaking loads; as they are more costly to operate. Electrical power generated by the GTs are used in-house and not exported.
This is the schematic of the system envisaged for PjP4. Charging of the tank is done at night. CHW at 6C from PjP2 is pumped into the tanks at PJP4.
In the ultimate phase, electric chillers at PjP4 can be used to cool the CHW further to 4.4C. This would increase the CHW storage capacity by another 30%.
In the discharging mode, both plants 2 and 4 inject CHW into the reticulation network simultaneously. PJP2 would serve loads at the northern part whilst PjP4 would supply to precincts 3 and 4 at the southern part.
PjP4 was planned as a hybrid plant consisting of chilled water storage and chillers. The construction of the plant shall be phased.
For Phase 1, we install 1 unit of chilled water storage tank of nominal rated capacity of 100,000 RTh with associated booster pumps
For Future Phases – additional 1 unit chilled water storage tank of nominal rated capacity of 100,000 RTh and/or installation of electric chillers depending on the load growth
This is the internal layout of PjP4. The dotted line indicates future plant area.
This is the pumps layout for Phase 1 and 2
Ultimately, PjP4 is envisioned to generate 42,000 RT from 30,000 RT from chilled water tanks and 12,000 RT from electric chillers.
This is an artist impression of the ultimate plant
These are the photo after the filling up of the tank. The contractor had to use a small boat to go around inside the tank.
The middle picture is the inside of the plant building. Currently, only booster pumps are installed with pipe headers ready for connection for future phases.
This is how charging of chilled water tank. Chilled water at 6C is pumped into the tank from the bottom diffuser.
Warm water at 12C is extracted out from tank from the top diffuser
It is very important that these water bodies do not get mixed up during this process. These chilled and warm water is separated by a layer of thermocline. To ensure proper formation of thermocline, the diffuser must be properly designed to ensure the water flow is laminar and no mixing takes place.
The water flows are reversed during discharging process. Warm water enters the tank from top diffuser and chilled water exits the tank from bottom diffuser.
The layer of thermocline moves up and down during the charging and discharging process.
This graph shows detailed equipment operation at PjP2. As can be seen, the chillers output is almost constant day and night at around 15,000RT. By flattening out the chillers output profile, the operation of gas turbine can be better managed as the steam consumption is constant night and day
Peaking morning pull down load is taken up by PjP4 without having to run additional chillers from PjP2. This has reduced the quantity of chillers required to meet the demand; hence, enhancing the reliability and availability of the overall system.
PjP4 is currently discharging about 40% of the peak period load demand. Currently, PjP2 is supplying about 15,000RT and PjP4 supplies averaging 10,000RT. PjP4 also reduces the TNB electricity import of PjP2 by 4MW. 4MW can be translated to about RM154,000 per month of maximum demand savings if we use C2 commercial Tariff at RM38.60/kW max demand.
If we compare the carbon emission of PjP4 current cooling output to a grid-connected conventional electrical chiller plant with the same output, there is a 43% reduction of CO2 emission.
This translates to approximately a reduction of 123,000 tons CO2 per annum
In summary, using district cooling and thermal storage are excellent tool for electricity demand side management. It helps in the reduction of energy cost by reducing the maximum demand charge during peak period.
Having this system, increase the load supply capability and enhance the reliability and availability of the system.
Thermal storage also improves the redundancy of the system as less equipment is required during peak period. Therefore, the owner can have standby equipment should any of the machine breaks down.
