Project SummaryImplementing electrodialysis wine stabilization instead of traditional cold stabilization is demonstrated to show electrical energy and demand savings. This Project was done on 18,500 gallon of Pinot Grigio in two uninsulated tanks. Results indicated 99% (26,700 kWh) electrcity...

Project SummaryImplementing electrodialysis wine stabilization instead of traditional cold stabilization has been demonstrated to show electrical energy and demand savings. This Project utilizes the quantitative analysis models (thermodynamic and glycol cooling model) developed in a previous study...

Project SummaryLight-emitting diode (LED) lights are emerging as a viable alternative for outdoor locations such as parking lots, parking garages, and streets, which typically use wallpaks and bollards lit with high wattage, high intensity discharge (HID) or fluorescent lights. In addition to...

Project Summary:There are a variety of emerging technologies that have potential to save substantial energy and demand in the lodging industry. Some of these are targeted specifically to the hotel and motel markets, while others may have applications in multiple market segments. The nearest term...

Project SummaryData center power supply efficiency typically ranges from 70 to 75 percent (at 50% load). Approximately 30 percent of the energy is wasted. The project crafts an energy efficiency specification and program structure for accelerating sales of the most efficient server power supplies...

Project SummaryThis project evaluates the benefits and customer acceptance of electronic high intensity discharge (HID) ballasts in medium- and high-wattage applications, such as warehouses, gymnasiums, and big box retail stores. Benefits of electronic ballasts include increased energy efficiency,...

Project SummaryVariable speed control of dust collection system and automated gates for the battery and metal finishing industries. The primary focus of this project is to reduce energy consumption in fume and dust collection systems from a battery manufacturing facility. The battery industry is...

Project SummaryThis energy efficiency study determined the demand reduction and energy savings of 12 vertical sash, variable air volume fume hoods. The assessment compared the volumetric air flow rates of fume hoods with and without automated sash positioning control systems (ASPCS). Twelve hoods...

Project SummaryThe BreezeAir single-stage advanced evaporative cooler is an Australian product that has recently been introduced into the U.S. market. This product differs from U.S. advanced technology in that it uses 4-3.5 inch thick pads rather than 1-8 or 12 inch thick pad. The result is twice...

Project SummaryPumps and fans are responsible for about 40 percent of motor energy use and account for more than a quarter of industrial electricity consumption nationally. The potential savings are more significant in pump and fan systems than for motors alone because pump energy use varies as...
