HOFFMAN ESTATES - HVAC COOLING APPLICATION

HTF Compact – Project Results

HTF Compact Applied at the Village of Hoffman Estates in Illinois has demonstrated the performance of HTF Compact in a cooling system. Aim of the project is to demonstrate the capability of HTF Compact to improve  the water chilled Delta T, resulting in an improvement of 125% relative increase. In addition, it has been requested to assess performance throughout different seasons considering the consumption pattern varies with the outside temperature and the ambient conditions.

RESULTS SUMMARY

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

- Substantial increase in HVAC System cooling capacity maintaining current system size avoiding new Capex investment
- Electrical consumption: 25% confirmed reduction
- 19.3 metric tons 
of Carbon Dioxide avoided
- Balance Valves operating now under regime

ENERGY PERFORMANCE

Final results show an average reduction of 25% electrical consumption savings found compared to 2020 consumption figures and calculated following several outside air temperature points

GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTION

The greenhouse annual gas emissions reduction is found to be 19.3 metric tons of CO2 (calculated as per the US Environmental Protection Agency)

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Chilled water delta T was 4 F prior to the introduction of HTF Compact. Post HTF Compact introduction, delta T of 9 F is reported. Hence, 125% relative increase. This additional delta T shows an optimized heat transfer from warm air in the AHU Coils into the chilled water. Additionally, AHUs balance valves are now operating within regime (prior they operated 100% open, no t being able to control flows)

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT

The greenhouse gas emissions yearly reduction at Village of Hoffman Estates Facility is 13.5 metric tons of CO2. This is equivalent to:
