Energy Recovery, Technologies and Appropriate Applications

Joby Evans, Merrick & Company
Adolfo Salas, Energy Ace

This presentation will review the current technologies used in facilities for energy recovery. We will provide an overview of the technologies presently in use. These technology's efficiencies, costs, installation requirements, and maintenance needs will be discussed. The presentation will focus primarily on energy recovery systems for heating ventilations and air conditioning systems. It will also provide a review of other technologies to capture energy from other sources. The energy recovery technologies will then be reviewed for the direct laboratory specific applications. Criteria for appropriate technologies will be presented with the benefits and deficiencies of each.

Learning Objectives

  • The participants will be able to identify major types of current energy recovery technologies.
  • The participants will recognize the appropriate energy recovery technology for their laboratory type.
  • The participant will understand the cost benefit of the appropriate energy recovery technologies for their laboratory.
