| Objectives | Research to be undertaken by NPL to provide a summary as to the energy required to heat varying volumes of water by varying degrees & identify suitable technologies to achieve this vision. It is envisaged that the project will be executed utilising the Cadent change management approach with defined success criteria for each of the phases and deliverables.The sanction value is to fund research into the feasibility of heating water without power. This will be completed in 1 month with a report and presentation of the possible solutions. The project will be led by National Physics Laboratory (NPL). They have been chosen for their expertise in thermal development, temperature measurements & control. Key Objectives & Deliverables:NPL will provide a summary as to the energy required to heat varying volumes of water by varying degrees. NPL will identify suitable technologies that could achieve this vision, including but not limited to: chemical heating technologies, phase-change materials, and electrical storage e.g. batteries. Consideration will be given to other parameters, including how much of the heating material (weight & size) would be needed to cause specific temperature rises (for varying quantities of water), costs, availability, and toxicity. A report will be prepared which summaries the various technologies and provides some examples of how they might be used for this application, with quantitative examples | |
