ACI Home Performance Conference 2007
MAM 15 - What Makes Combustion Systems Efficient, & Not [SESSION CANCELLED]
Monday, April 23, 2007 · 8:00 AM - 12:00 PMTHIS SESSION HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
Explore the fundamentals of combustion and understand how to determine specific parameters, such as efficiency, air requirements, and greenhouse gas emissions. Learn to analyze appropriate strategies to improve performance in specific applications. Find out why certain ideas about combustion appliances are either misinterpreted or misapplied. Distinctions in properties and energy losses will be shown for various fuels. A special emphasis will be placed on determining greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of mitigation strategies. Prior technical experience is recommended.
By attending this session, participants will
1. Gain an understanding of combustion principles and efficient HVAC systems in order to understand how and where energy is lost, and where opportunities for significant energy reductions exist
2. Appreciate how energy sources are different, breaking down myths that are often associated with certain combustion processes
3. Find out which HVAC combustion system technologies, energy sources, and / or strategies can achieve energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reductions, while others do not.
