Heat Extraction from Municpal Sewage

Camosun学院很高兴地宣布，Camosun创新将与Accent制冷系统有限公司合作开展一个应用研究项目，一个高度创新的，兰福德，不列颠哥伦比亚省，制冷系统设计和承包公司。Accent Refrigeration为加拿大、北美和世界各地的小型和超大型客户设计了基于制冷/热泵的冷却、加热、热回收和热/冷却分配系统。在自然科学和工程研究理事会（NSERC）2级研究和开发资助的支持下，Accent Refrigeration将能够开发一种产品，可以经济地回收城市污水中的余热。他们的愿景是开发一种污水热回收系统，可以很容易地放置到现有的城市污水基础设施的一部分，而不需要市政当局改变其现有的基础设施。这种独特的方法有望大大减少整个不列颠哥伦比亚省和加拿大城市的社区能源需求，同时为Accent Refrigeration开辟新市场，并允许他们雇用更多的员工。该项目将涉及Camosun学院的学生，他们将获得宝贵的真实的生活技能和专业知识，同时致力于开发新的创新技术。Camosun的机械工程和管道行业的教师都将参与其中，他们也将通过培训参与的学生并自己获得宝贵的经验而受益。

Camosun College is pleased to announce that Camosun Innovates will be partnering in an applied researchproject with Accent Refrigeration Systems Ltd., a highly innovative, Langford, BC, based Refrigeration systemdesign and contracting company. Accent Refrigeration has designed refrigeration/heat-pump based cooling,heating, heat recovery and heat/cooling distribution systems for both small and very large clients throughoutCanada, North America and the world.With support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) on a level 2 AppliedResearch and Development grant, Accent Refrigeration will be able to develop a product that can economicallyrecover excess heat from municipal sewage. Their vision is to develop a sewage heat-recovery system that canbe easily placed into the parts of the existing municipal sewage infrastructure without the need for themunicipality to change its existing infrastructure. This unique approach holds the promise of significantlyreducing the community energy demand of municipalities throughout BC and Canada, while at the same timegenerating opening up new markets for Accent Refrigeration and allowing them to hire more stilledindividuals.The project will involve students from Camosun College who will gain valuable real life skills and expertisewhile working on the development of new innovative technology. Camosun's faculty, in both mechanicalengineering and piping trades, will be involved and they too will benefit by being able to train the student'sinvolved and gain valuable experience themselves.
