Strategic approach to optimize aeration efficiency in wastewater recovery facilities to significantly reduce blower(s) usage and provide demand response...

This project would leverage stationary batteries (existing and new installations) and communication infrastructure for testing DR opportunities at commercial and industrial customer...

This laboratory assessment compares the performance of low-temperature horizontal display case with natural refrigerant (propane or R-290) and conventional refrigerant...

Wastewater aeration requires 50% of the energy use in wastewater treatment plants. A real-time analyzer that measures aeration efficiency was developed with CEC funding and has been demonstrated with SCE funding at several wastewater treatment plants over a one-year period. To achieve the full...

Refrigerated chef bases are found in almost all commercial kitchens. These devices are equipment stands with refrigerated compartments underneath for quick and easy access to various refrigerated products. The tabletops are designed to support heavy and/or hot cooking equipment while still...

This devices refrigeration technology utilizes water in an ionic, time delayed, freeze-point suppression cycle to provide -35C cooling to freezer environments while consuming 45% less electricity than conventional vapor compression systems. Incorporating embedded energy storage tailored...

Evaluation of performance of ultra-low temperature lab freezers. The technology replaces the cascade systems to achieve ultra-low cabinet space refrigeration temperatures (-86°C) used in the medical research, life science, pharmaceutical and clinical hospital...

This sub-project will explore and document advances in product development for advanced refrigerants in refrigeration systems with the goal of identifying products for laboratory evaluation and field deployment. Advanced product development engineering, primarily built on the foundations of...

Project SummaryThis ET project would validate the energy savings associated with Ultra Low Temperature (ULT) freezer systems.  ULT freezer systems which normally operate at either -40°C or -85°C range; are a large or often the largest energy consuming equipment in university,...

This project will provide technical support in the development of a standard test method to rate the performance and energy consumption of commercial rethermalizer ovens. Testing support will encompass sensitivity testing for different food products and cooking procedures based on stakeholder...
