  1. Natural Gas Heat PumpsOpportunities for teaching HVACconcepts, theories & issues

  2. Utilizing Innovative Gas Heat Pump Technology to teach a broad range of material: • Heating and Cooling theory • Source from Gas-drive Heat Pump • Power of Sustainable Technology • Site vs. Source Energy Concept

  3. Efficient heat pump cycle Gas engine-driven prime mover State-of-the-art electronic and controls Multi-cycle integration Heat recovery concepts Variable speed Heat Exchanger theory Fluid & Heat transfer Coefficient efficiency Opportunities for Teaching ‘Theory & Principles’ Gas Heat Pump (GHP) GHP will tie into the District’s Telemetry System Committed to smart, sustainable technology.

  4. • Compare the GHP & EHP energy consumption • Understand the difference between the kW & kWh • Analyze the kW, kWh and therm difference • Understand the kW, kWh and therm cost difference • What are the benefits to our local, regional and national power grid Opportunities for Comparative Learning Gas Heat Pump (GHP) Supporting content for Labs and STEM education Committed to smart, sustainable technology.

  5. • Efficiency experiments • Economic & cost modeling • System and Building Integration Analysis • Model the efficiency of capturing waste heat • Waste heat recovery • Explore comfort issues related to a real classroom Opportunities for Creating Experiments Gas Heat Pump (GHP) Creating Great ‘Site vs Source’ Discussions Committed to smart, sustainable technology.

  6. 28% efficient Case Study: Site versus Source 100% ELECTRIC – about 72% lost in generation and transmission NATURAL GAS – only 8% lost in distribution 92% efficient 100% Bringing Policy and Social Debates to Schools

  7. Study Features, Benefits and Merits Equipment Functionality Economics Application Theory Environmental

  8. Question: Analyze water savings potential? Answer: 3,060,000 gallons per year IN THE NEAR FUTURE, TEACHERS WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS QUESTION RELEVANT. . . Equivalent water savings to 204 McClintock size swimming pools per year! Tempe Union’s Telemetry System creates relevance

  9. Question: How would saving 109,627 lb of carbon impact us? removing 9 cars off the road 10 acres of forest saved ANSWERS 116 Barrels of oil saved 17 tons of land fill removed What other environmental savings?

  10. Conventional Classroom noise GHP GHP PGHP Why is the decibels important to learning?

  11. Question: How does GHP help with renewables? Answer: The GHP runs on the same amount of energy needed to power a hairdryer. Conventional Air-conditioning Not including Peak Demand load What else can we do with this technology? Committed to smart, sustainable technology.
