Variable Speed Drives with Smart Controllers for Hydraulic Power units for metal working machines. Project will look at energy savings for this system compared to fixed speed unit as prime...

This project seeks to evaluate a new technology being developed by leading manufacturers, that employs a high-lift centrifugal vapor compression to address the large building air-source hydronic heating market. This product seeks to replace fossil fired boilers in large buildings that currently do...

Work with local refrigerated truck fleet to demonstrate energy demand profiles, costs and benefits. Use plug-in capabilities, truck/trailer mounted PV, batteries, to demonstrate environmental and cost benefits of using electric powered TRus as much as possible. Substitute R-404A refrigerant with...

Laboratory evaluation of Pressure Fryers using ASTM F1964. The pressure fryer is similar to an open-kettle fryer, but with the addition of a heavy, gasketed lid and a pressure valve. Pressure fryers coming in three sizes: 4, 6, and 8 heads of chicken capacity. The goal of this project is to test...

The majority of residential and commercial air conditioning units include throwaway fiberglass media filters. This project will replaces these filters. In principle, it captures a larger amount of airborne contaminants, captures smaller size contaminants, and operates at a lower air pressure drop...

This is a paper assessment of a site with diverse and plentiful opportunities for energy savings through the application of advanced technologies among its lighting and mechanical systems. The project is aimed at identifying the potential energy efficient opportunities with special focus in...

The purpose of this project is to develop a laboratory test method for evaluating FDD technologies on a Commercial Packaged Rooftop...

Rethermalization ovens or “Retherms” are heated cabinets used to reheat previously prepared, stored and chilled food product to serving temperature all while retaining the food product’s color, flavor, texture and nutrients. Retherms are popular among schools, hospitals, prisons, and other...

The goal of this project is to determine and validate energy savings for a typical retrofit for two delta T valves in an HVAC chiller system. Delta T is the difference between the water supply and return temperature across a cooling coil. When downstream cooling coils have a low delta T, it can...

This project is investigating an energy management circuit breaker (EMCB) with several additional features. The EMCB is a single-or-double pole, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker commonly installed in low-voltage panelboards to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent,...
