  1. Utility Planning For North Campus Upgrades Area in and around Cook Physical Science Building A Conceptual Plan……. Sal Chiarelli, Director of Physical Plant November 15, 2007

  2. Why Is This Important This Is Conceptual But Presenting A Long Term View Of The Utility Upgrade Possibilities When We Design And Build The Cook Science Expansion • Do not want to miss out on the opportunity to solve many issues while planning for Cook • We need to do many of the upgrades any way • Prepare for future projects in and around Cook • Provide robust utility system for reliability, availability and maintainability • Most likely going to Air Condition Williams in the future if renovated • Has the potential to save

  3. Some Deficiencies In And Around Area • Undersize and old piping sections • Have to relocate piping in order to fit building on East side • Chilled water system capacity will be depleted when Plant Science, Marsh, and Billings, Votey and Kalkin are hooked up. • Need cooling capacity for Williams, Cook 1, Cook 2 • Better to send out lower pressure on campus

  4. Some Opportunities • Generate electrical power maybe 2MW • Provide chilled water to Cook and Cook 2 • Provide chilled water to Billings • Provide chilled water to Williams Hall • Distribute steam at a lower pressure • Use back pressure turbine to reduce steam pressure • Use daytime chilling capacity to store chilled water or ice at night off peak hours • Use heating and chilled systems as part of the engineering curriculum • Use excavation to maximize utility and energy systems in and around Area • This is the “green thing” to do for the future • Build in redundancy for reliable utility distribution

  5. Some Benefits • Maximizing the use of steam pressure • Historic building air conditioning • Real time, real life engineering and economics study- relate to theory with adjacent to/ or in new science building…….. • We will need more chilled water than our plant can deliver when Cook buildings are initiated • Back feed to Given provides steam redundancy on distribution including CBW and Converse….. • If sized correctly steam can power up HSRF chiller to provide summer load for turbine generator set. • Do we need more air conditioned “Bed Space”….? • We have infrastructure for this type of system

  6. Engineering School and Other Teaching Thoughts • Thermo Dynamics • Vibration studies • Fluid Mechanics • Material selections and metallurgy • Theory of machines and rotating equipment • Heat Transfer • Many other courses and programs could utilize systems. • Real time data used for study • Real equipment available for students and faculty to use in studies. • Use the tens of millions of dollars investment for the study of engineering • Economic analysis of fuel use and energy consumption • Other cool stuff..

  7. If We Don’t Do This • We will have to replace old deteriorated steam lines anyway on East side of Cook and north side of Cook by Votey (see Pictures) • We will eventually air condition Williams Waterman, and tie our central system into Votey, Kalkin and Billings, • We will spend more on operating costs • We will not maximize the use of existing systems.

  8. Some Steps To Take • Replace/Relocate line on east side of Cook • Add chilled water lines to Cook • Add chilled water lines to Kalkin/Votey • Connect LP Steam to CBW to feed Converse and possibly Given • Investigate night time storage of chilled water or ice • Possibly relocate chillers to assist in chilled water plant operations • Connect Billings, Williams and loop back to Old Mill with LP steam • Add Topping Turbine to Cook or Central Plant with exhaust steam powering LP loop • Install electrical distribution system to power Cook, Cook 2, Old Mill, Library, Davis, Votey, RTT, Kalkin • “Engineer the entire area for the future • Install Electrical Distribution network..

  16. Conclusion • This concept needs to be studied for cost, economic feasibility, life cycle, viability. • I think it is more palatable than a full blown 5Megawatt Cogeneration system • Up to 2MW may be OK with BED • We need to do some of this anyway let’s do it in a systematic, long term way. • It would be awesome for the Engineering School to have some of these systems as part of their learning curriculum

  17. Conclusion
