| The wood shop will keep its current usage with lighting and comfort conditioning provided by the CHP system. |
|
The storage area is being converted with the help of the MSU Architecture department into a space that will simulate a small office application. |
| The Department of Mechanical Engineering is responsible for the installation of the CHP space conditioning and electrical power generation. Parallel systems will be installed in both the wood shop and the office. Each space will contain a conventional high efficiency system and a CHP-based system. Each system can be operated independently of the other to produce comfort conditions in each space. Natural gas is used for heat in the conventional system and fuel for the 15 kW generator. Heat recovery from the generator (engine coolant and exhaust) will power a 10-ton absorption chiller for summer use and hot water for winter heat. The office uses a 2-ton split system with a condensing furnace and a 4-pipe air handler for the CHP system. The shop uses a 5-ton package unit with gas heat and an outdoor 4-pipe air handler. Complete computer-based instrumentation will be used to monitor all system parameters. |
