  3. Topics • What is a “Hybrid” design? • Designing a “Hybrid” system • DOE study / simulation • Hybrid examples • Biggest market in construction is sports and health care • Using BIM model for geothermal HVAC in sports arenas • Templifiers and other heat pumps can be use for sport arenas, corridors and hallways • Summary and conclusion Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  4. What Is A “Hybrid” Design? • “Low cost” alternative to a full GHP design • Southern applications – Loop matches heat load and a cooling tower added to assist rejection load • Northern applications – Loop matches cooling load and a boiler is added to supplement heating load Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  5. Why Use A “Hybrid” Design? • Total GHP loop field design may be higher first costs, unattractive short term economics. • Southern applications can reject 40 to 50 times more heat than extracted during heating. • Extreme northern applications can extract 30 to 40 times more heat than rejected during cooling Technology Installation Review - DOE Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  6. Why Use A “Hybrid” Design? • Imbalanced heating / cooling load may not recharge a geothermal loop field and cause long term thermal build up / pull down. • Hybrid designs can shorten loop lengths by 20 - 50% and only increase operating costs by 0% – 20% • Some sites have unfavorable geological conditions or available surface area is limited • Hybrid projects are normally over 100 tons * Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  7. Designing A Hybrid System • “Hybrid” loop sizing software has been developed by GLD (Ground Loop Design) • Geo software determines total loop length for cooling and heating • “Hybrid Option” determines new “shorter” loop length for total cooling and sizes boiler • Antifreeze added to loop / or bypass geo loop when boiler is operated Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  8. Designing A Hybrid – Boiler Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  9. Designing A Hybrid - Software • GLD software (Ground Loop Design) has hybrid geothermal software. • eQUEST (DOE2.2) and Energy plus will not size a hybrid loop field or model a hybrid geothermal system. • Professor Bernier and ASHRAE are developing a hybrid geothermal economics modeling program. Available in few weeks • OCAST (OK State) is developing a new program that will simulate loop / boiler (HVACSIM+). Will offer optimized control strategies - available 1 year + Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  10. US Department Of Energy Study - 2001 • DOE – “Assessment of Hybrid Geothermal Heat Pump Systems” (December 2001)* • Houston office building - 14,025 ft2 (40 ton) • 1,434 heat degree days / 2,889 cool degree days • Annual heating load = 7.5 million BTU • Annual cooling load = 181.6 million BTU • 36 bore holes @ 250 feet deep • 71ºF ground water temperature • Tulsa office building - 14,025 ft2 (40 ton) • 3,680 heat degree days / 1,949 cool degree days • Annual heating load = 50.1 million BTU • Annual cooling load = 131.8 million BTU • 16 bore holes @ 250 feet deep • 62ºF ground water temperature * www.pnl.gov/techreview/hybrid-new/hybrid-ghp.html Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  16. Why HyGSHP Can Be Used In Sports Venues Sports venues have enormous budgets Minnesota Twins Ball Park - $ 522 Million New York Yankees Stadium - $1.3 Billion New York Mets Citifield - $610 Million Wembley Soccer Stadium - $1.5 Billion Melbourne Cricket Ground - $410 Million Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  17. Challenges On Big Projects • Set completion date so geothermal installation must be expedited • Large liquidated damages claim if project completion is delayed • Where to put geothermal loop for lay down area is large • Large load – larger loop than normal thus hybrid geothermal Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  18. Advantages In HVAC Construction Today • BIM modeling can be used to reduce time in geothermal and HVAC construction • BIM modeling can be used to prefab geothermal pipes and for layout and field work • BIM modeling with scheduling software to keep track of geothermal and HVAC scope in a stadium Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  19. Advantages In HVAC Construction Today Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  20. Why HyGSHP Can Work In Sports Arenas • Rising cost of fuel prices has caused significant increases in HVAC bills • With the exception of service and mezzanine level. Club levels, press levels and suite levels is where teams make the most profit. Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  21. Why HyGSHP Can Work In Sports Arenas • Club levels, suite levels and press levels are where most executive suites are located. By using heat pumps one could have different temperatures in each space without affecting the other. Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  22. Estimate Range Of Heating And Cooling Load • Different loads for different sports venues • Baseball stadiums probably has most load because of the 81 home game season • H.O.K Sports largest sports A/E firm reported that cooling loads range for stadiums they designed: Cooling Loads Service levels: 1896 MBH -3504 MBH (158 – 292 tons) Suite levels: 1680 MBH – 3120 MBH (140 – 260 tons) Press box and exec levels : 780 MBH – 2220 MBH (65 – 185 tons) Mezzanine level : 708 MBH – 1308 MBH (59 – 109 tons) Heating Loads Service levels: 900 MBH – 1800 MBH Suite levels : 1200 MBH – 2376 MBH Press box and exec levels : 540 MBH – 2040 MBH Mezzanine levels - 468 MBH – 1008 MBH Courtesy of H.O.K Sports Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  23. Typical Layout Of Suite/Press Boxes Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  24. Designing HyGSHP For Stadiums • The ground loop will be placed under the large parking lots made of permeable material to allow heat transfer • Vertical stack units will be placed in suite, club level and press box which are the most expensive seats in a stadium • From Dr. Steven Kavanaugh design of geothermal system book. “ Required loop length are 150 ft/ton (up North) to 250 ft/ton (down South) • Taking the worst case scenarios using Dr. Kavanaugh required loop length and HOK Sports maximum loads • 445 tons for suite, press and executive lounge. Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  25. Designing HyGSHP For Stadiums • Bore holes can go up to 500 ft for 1 ¼ inch U tubes • Lets assume for this design we use 350 feet boreholes at 250 ft/ton • That is approximately 318 boreholes in a parking lot which is very realistic Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  26. Designing HyGSHP For Stadiums • Vertical units that McQuay and other firms produce are easy to install because they are stacked one above the other and will give the high-end customer who is using the suites and executive lounge the ability to adjust room temperature without affecting the neighboring suite • Vertical units can also be used to produce hot and cold water that can supply sinks that are usually in these rooms • Cooling tower or boiler is used to produce the additional heating or cooling Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  27. Larger Units Can Be Used In Hallways Capacity (MBH) Max Temperature Product THR 040 – 210 E (Recip) TSC 063 – 126 (Centrifugal) 500 – 3,000 160° F 140° F 3,000 – 24,000 Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

Winter Heating (17160 MBH) Evaporator 2824.4℃ Condenser 5058℃ COP : 5.558 Summer Cooling (18720 MBH) Evaporator 127℃ Condenser 3237℃ COP : 5.617 Single Compressor Templifier, Dual-Mode Application Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  30. Environmentally Friendly • Non-ozone depleting R- 410A Refrigerant • Refrigerant of the future • Good for the environment • Qualifies for “LEED” credit Engineeredfor flexibility and performance |

  31. Summary • Total GHP loop field designs will be too large for sports arenas • Imbalanced heating / cooling loads may not recharge a geothermal loop field and cause long term thermal build up / pull down. • Hybrid designs can shorten loop lengths by 20 - 50 % and only increase operating costs by 0% – 20% • Existing loop software programs can size “Hybrid” designs – GLD,GEOKISS will design hybrid applications. • Economics modeling programs are being developed for tower and boiler hybrids – available in 1 year will make designing easier.
