Based on results from a previous modeling study on Dual Fuel Single-Family Heating (ET23SWG0005) where the cost to run an electric heat pump was 68% - 144% more than a gas furnace, the GET team believes that installation of gas absorption heat pump (GAHP) water heaters will save utility costs when...

This project is a field study of a Gas Absorption Heat Pump (GAHP) water heater. The GAHP is a gas-fired technology and its technology readiness level (TRL) is 9. This project falls into phase 2F (field study phase) of a multi-phase field study pilot project for GAHP water heaters & combination...

This study aims to characterize the hydrogen fuel blending performance (up to 30% blend) of a Robur Gas Absorption Heat Pump (GAHP)-A unit to sufficiently populate model inputs in EnergyPlus. Gas Technology Institute (GTI) Energy will serve as a contractor for this study. They will develop a test...

The objective of this study is to examine the energy savings, benefits, and drawbacks of various types of pool heating equipment. A macro-based Excel tool will be developed to conduct an hourly energy, cost, and GHG emissions analysis of five types of pool heating equipment: traditional gas pool...

The proposed project aims to conduct a comprehensive market study focused on production line heat recovery systems within the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Heat recovery systems play a crucial role in improving energy efficiency and sustainability for various industrial processes, and their...

This technology focused pilot is part of another project with Clean O2 where field testing will be separately performed. The separate GET project with CleanO2 will involve field testing on the CarbinX Unit. This project will be a market study that seeks to identify barriers implementing the...

This project will gather burner efficiency data for commercial boilers using existing and emerging ultra-low-NOx burner technologies. The testing will characterize the complete system efficiency of the burner and boiler system including combustion efficiency, fuel efficiency, equipment power...

This project aims to conduct a comprehensive market study on industrial furnace applications, with a primary focus on identifying opportunities for natural gas savings. The study will explore a range of technologies, including radiative recuperators, thermal imaging, insulation, ductwork, fuel/air...

This Gas Emerging Technology (GET) project includes research into site screening criteria and sizing methods for gas absorption heat pump water heaters (GAHPs). GAHPs have been around for many years, but the application of this technology to domestic hot water (DHW) systems is novel and presents...

ERI is proposing to perform a market and technology study that will begin with a market assessment of Vortex Water Treatment (VWT) technology and applications in use in California. The resulting study will analyze current technologies utilized during ice resurfacing in ice arenas and the energy...
