| Objectives | This project seeks to reduce and optimise the energy used, and establish company wide best practice, for he use of alternative pre-heater technologies on water bath heaters. Success of the project will be evaluated against the following criteria: All site monitoring and data capture complete. Site monitoring report produced. LCA Report produced. Final Report detailing project outcome and recommendations produced. | |
| Abstract | This project is to inform our replacement water bath heater strategy by using two alternative techniques to determine efficiencies and optimise pre heating, asset life. This project will monitor energy usage on existing water bath and modular preheating systems against that of two preheating systems that have been installed and commissioned on National Grid Gas Distribution above ground installation sites. Field trials will be conducted to monitor the novel preheating systems and collect performance data which will then be used to produce a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA), detailing the costs and environmental benefits and impacts of the two pre-heater systems.Note : Project Documents may be available via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal using the Website link above | |
