  1. An Approach to Heat Recovery in Rural Alaska • Introduction • Background – Maintenance & Repair • Small Scale: 50 kW to 3500 kW • Heat Recovery: SAVES Fuel - NOT Primary Heat • Keep it SIMPLE

  2. Rules of Thumb • 1/3 Electricity : 1/3 Jacket Water : 1/3 Exhaust • 2000 BTU/kW-Hr (jacket water) • 100,000 BTU delivered Heat = 1 gallon #1 Diesel • 0.3 x Power Plant Annual Fuel Use x 0.6 • Pumping Energy Costs <= 10% Fuel Value • Size System Flow for 2/3rds Peak Load

  3. End-Users • Water Plant / Washeteria • Schools • Public Facilities (Clinics, City Offices, Rec Centers) • Ice / Cold Storage (low temp absorption chiller)

  4. Design Considerations • Power Plant Diesels (heat rejection, pump capacity) • No In-Line Booster Pumps • Secondary Pumped Loop • Power Generation = Primary  • End-User Heat Loads • Historical Fuel Use Based • HDD and Composite UA

  5. Design Considerations cont’d • Pumping • Minimize Pumping Energy (valves/restrictions) • Redundancy • Arctic Piping • Welded steel, HDPE jacketed • Copper where indoors/utilidors • Instrumentation • Thermometers (thermo-wells) • Pressure Gauges (isolation valves) • Air Vents (minimize + isolation valves)

  6. Design Considerations – cont’d • Air Control • Air Eliminator (rol-air-trol vs. air scoop) • Expansion Tank Sizing (40F or –40F) • Pre-charge (set for specific application)  • Arctic Piping Loop Fluid • Ethylene / Propylene / Water  • MAINTAINABILITY / ACCESS • Equipment Location • Valving

  7. End-User Connections • Direct Connection • Full Boiler Flow thru Heat Exchanger • Heat Availability close to Boiler Capacity • Partial Boiler Flow thru Heat Exchanger • Heat Availability << than Boiler Capacity

  8. Equipment • Heat Exchangers • P&F Clip on Gaskets (>70 gpm) • Brazed Plate (<70 gpm) • Valves • Lug Style Butterfly • Full Port Ball Valves • (no gate valves) • Arctic Piping • Preinsulated Arctic Pipe Package

  9. Daily Operations • Daily Log • Monitor and Record • Temperatures, Pressures, Pump Operation • Check Glycol Concentration & Inhibitors
