FLU-ACE™

Thermal Energy designed and implemented an integrated FLU-ACE heat recovery system with cogeneration unit for efficient electrical power generation and overall reduction in energy consumption.
The installation is comprised of a natural gas fueled engine with a 425 kW generator, waste heat boiler, and FLU-ACE waste heat recovery system processing combined flue gas streams from existing steam boilers and the cogeneration unit. The system was designed to recover 6.3 GJ/h of waste heat to be utilized for fresh air heating, dehumidification and boiler make up preheating of the "B-Wing" part of the facility. The system provides 95% of the hospital's heating requirement during the summer months replacing the existing summer boiler operation.

The Chief Operating Engineer said,
The FLU-ACE heat recovery and pollution control system has been very reliable with a minimum of maintenance. In the last five years, the electrical rates have stabilised while gas rates have been increasing every year making the installation of such a system even more interesting. If reducing energy consumption while also contributing to the limitation of harmful environmental emissions is part of your mandate, then the installation of a FLU-ACE system should be considered.
