New Heat Pump Delivers Geothermal Efficiently

A new heat pump developed by Hallowell International is helping to bring geothermal energy efficiency and savings to existing construction and older homes. Until very recently, the cost of retrofitting existing and older homes for geothermal heating and cooling made upgrading to a geothermal system impractical if not impossible. With a retrofitted geothermal heating and cooling system, extensive trenches have to be dug for geothermal underground pipes, and some existing homes simply don’t have the yard space required even when the homeowner has the money to install the system. A conventional high-efficiency heat pump that uses air can still help older homes lower heating and cooling costs, but the savings aren’t nearly as great as with geothermal.

However, the Hallowell Acadia new heat pump costs 40% less to use than other above ground heat pumps, and provides heat for less than one third of conventional electric resistance heat (that is, any heating system without a heat pump attached). This puts the new heat pump well within range of geothermal savings without the need to actually install a geothermal system. The Hallowell Acadia heat pump also uses a specially developed 410A refrigerant that does not damage or degrade the ozone layer, so it is environmentally friendly over and above its energy savings. The new heat pump created by Hallowell has another advantage over geothermal beyond the more affordable installation costs. A major drawback of geothermal heating and cooling systems has always been that they work better in the winter in areas in which the temperature does not fall below 30 degrees. The new heat pump designed by Hallowell includes a second compressor built that kicks in at very low temperatures to make the refrigerant inside much colder and more able to absorb very cold air. This means that the Acadia, the new heat pump by Hallowell, is actually 200% efficient down to temperatures as low as 15 below zero!
Only recently have a few different manufacturers began to distribute air source heat pumps made specifically for in-floor hot water heating systems. These units are often called or reverse cycle chillers. The second name refers to their technological resemblance to water cooling machines, but they can now run in reverse to heat water also. Note that these units can only be used with in-floor heating systems. No type of heat pump can be used with baseboard heating systems because they require higher water temperatures that only a boiler can provide. In an air to water heat pump, the heated refrigerant does not enter the house. Instead, it is used to heat water inside the outdoor unit. The heated water is then pumped into the home, where it enters a second heat exchanger. In this heat exchanger, the water from the outdoor unit transfers its heat to the water flowing through the distribution system. If it is a very cold day, the heat pump may act as a pre-heater before the water enters the boiler. On mildly cool days, the boiler will be bypassed.

The good news then is that cost of the new cold-air heat pumps is about one third that of installing a comparable geothermal system in an existing home. The bad news is that the new heat pump is about twice as expensive a conventional high-efficiency above ground heat pump. To calculate the cost-effectiveness of installing a new heat pump like the Hallowell Acadia, take 30% of current heating and cooling costs and subtract that from what you are paying for heating and cooling now, then divide the cost of the new heat pump by that number. So for example, if you are currently paying $3000 per year to heat and cool your home, subtract the $900 (approximately) that you would pay with the new heat pump installed, for a projected savings of $2100 per year. If the new heat pump costs $4,000 (a new geothermal system costs between $10,000 and $15,000 on average so that$4,000 is an entry level cost), you will recoup your investment within only two years.
Clearly, over the long haul, such a system is much, much cheaper than installing a conventional heat pump that costs $2,000. The new heat pump designed by Hallowell is relatively new, but as more high-efficiency above ground models are developed and come on the market, the price will likely go down. Since heating and cooling are the two biggest energy demands a homeowner faces, this is definitely a welcome bit of good news.

How a Small Wind Generator

Wind power is usually thought of as a technology to bring electricity to remote areas where power lines may not reach, but vertical small wind generators are now being used in residential applications to reduce home heating bills and create personal energy independence inside city lines. In fact, small wind generators show so much promise in urban and suburban locales for residential use that many municipalities are now scrambling to update their building codes, zoning regulations, and property tax structures to accommodate these new devices. A wind turbine large enough to generate all the electricity used in an average American home costs upwards of $30,000 and is so tall and obtrusive that the likelihood of obtaining a permit to build one inside city limits is small. Large wind turbines use huge horizontal blades that catch the wind at very high altitudes. (More wind is available the higher up a wind turbine is able to reach.) In the past this meant that wind power was not really accessible to individual homeowners unless a local power plant invested in it. Wind turbines were just too expensive.

However, the new vertical small wind generators cost between $1700 and $3500 and have a much lower physical profile. Most attach to a roof or are bolted to a base that runs alongside one outside wall. Some small wind generators are collapsible to make maintenance more convenient. Not much bigger than a weathervane, these devices are well within reach both pricewise and in terms of practicality. Small wind generators usually have vertical blades that look like rotating hamster cages turned on end. The ‘bars’ of the cage are what catch the wind and make the apparatus turn to generate electricity. Electricity is then fed to an inverter, which creates DC current that is then turned into AC current and is either stored in a battery for future use, or fed directly into the public electrical grid.
One of the biggest problems in ‘selling’ small wind generators for home use is that they almost never supply enough electricity to offset all the power needs of an average home, and this is usually what homeowners want. It is often hard to even quantify exactly how much savings a homeowner can expect, making it hard for homeowners to decide whether the device is “worth it.” However, if you look at the electricity generated by these devices as one step toward creating energy independence for alternative home heating systems, their utility becomes more obvious. Most home heating systems require a certain amount of electricity to circulate the heat. Pellet stoves, one of the most inexpensive and efficient alternative home heating systems currently available, all require a small amount of electricity to run the pellet feeder. Installing a small wind generator can easily provide more than enough electricity to run a pellet stove or a small blower, thereby taking home heating costs completely off grid and reducing utility bills in the process.

Most people are amazed to discover that the biggest energy drain in the house is the water heater, followed closely by the washer and dryer. Toasters, TVs, computers, blenders, and home heating systems all use electricity, but that usage is just a fraction of what it costs to heat water alone. Instead of thinking of a small wind generator as being a device that must be adequate to meet conventional electricity needs of an entire household, a more productive approach is to break down residential electricity use into separate components (water, washing, small appliances and electronics, home heating) and then separately find alternative energy solutions for each component. It is possible to heat water alternatively (with solar for instance) and run an alternative home heating system with a small wind generator, leaving the only real appliances and small electronics as the only real users of grid electricity. These two steps alone drastically reduce the dollar amount of a monthly electric bill. When homeowners begin to look at energy usage that way, the utility of a small wind generator becomes clear. Homeowners don’t have to wait for energy independent technologies to be invented: the tools are available today, and many are very affordable. All that is needed is a different way of framing the issues. Once the applications become clear, new community regulations that help homeowners invest in energy independent technology can then be passed, creating increased independence and savings without prohibitive red tape.

Grain stoves - what options are there

Grain stoves offer you the ability to pull away from costly and poor heating furnace and use something that may just put a smile on your face. Most people do not realize that they have other options for their burning needs other than natural gas, propane or oil. Those that do realize that there are options only know of the basics such as wood or wood pellets. Still, there are many more including the very hot burning products of wheat, rye and corn.

Why Use Grain?

Grain stoves offer the ability to burn other fuels. These fuels are often more capable of cutting your costs to heat your home. By using products other than wood, you get more heat from a smaller amount of product. And, you can often find these alternative fuels for a much lower price than that of wood as well. Wood pellets are a good choice for many, but for your grain stove, consider other options such as these.

Wheat: Grain stoves that burn wheat are able to burn at about 505,000 BTU’s. You get 60 pounds per bushel.
Corn: One of the most popular of the grain choices, corn can provide excellent heat at a low cost. You will get 500,000 BTU’s. This is from a 56 to 60 pound bushel. The corn that is used should be shelled corn that is dried to 12-18% to get this rate.
Rye: Another uncommon choice, rye can provide a good amount of heat. It can provide 505,000 BTU’s for a 60 pound bushel.

What do these alternative stoves provide for me?

Grain stoves are capable of heating most homes. They provide enough heat to replace your furnace. You may need to keep your natural gas, oil and propane to heat your hot water tank and to keep your appliances running. But, for heat, you can count on a grain stove. Some of the best stoves will burn and heat up to 3500 square feet or more. When selecting your grain stove, make sure you compare them. You should know which ones will provide the most efficient heat, which should be provided to you on the manufacturer’s website. Also, take a look at the hopper size. This is the location that the grains will be stored until they are needed to be burnt. Those that are small will only hold enough for one day while larger units will provide for a fill twice per week. This is dependant on your heating demands as well as the stove’s abilities. Lastly, when considering grain stoves to lower your heating bills, make sure that you have the grains readily available to you. You should also compare the price of those grains as compared to the price of your other heating methods. You will find it beneficial to use a renewable, clean burning fuel such as corn, wheat or rye to heat your home. Purchasing the right grain stove will make all the difference in the quality of heat in your home.

Clean Coal Technologies and Alternative heating

According to the World Coal Institute, reserves of coal worldwide top 847 billion tons; enough to last 130 years at the current rate of production and provide more than enough fuel for alternative coal heat. Contrast that with current oil and gas reserves (currently set to last 42 years and 60 years respectively) and it becomes clear that clean coal is a natural resource with enormous potential for the transition from fossil fuel to self-sustaining green energy. The hardest type of coal burns the cleanest and is called 'anthracite coal'. Rich reserves of anthracite coal can be found in Pennsylvania in the U.S., the Crow’s Nest Region of the Rocky Mountains in Canada, and in various spots in the Andes mountains in Peru. At the present time, most of the anthracite coal mined in North America comes from anthracite coalmines in Pennsylvania.
Softer grades of coal can also be burned as fuel, but are used less and less often because they produce substantial pollution in the form of sulfur and carbon dioxide. Even anthracite coal produces unacceptable levels of carbon dioxide when it is burned commercially. Clean coal technology refers to various attempts to reduce coal emissions so that the use of this plentiful natural resource does not contribute to global warming. Currently, electrical power plants burn the most coal and are the most heavily invested in clean coal. They also contribute most heavily to global warming.

Some Safer methods of cleaning up coal emissions:

GCC or Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle turns coal into gas before it is burned and removes the impurities so they don't end up in the atmosphere.
'Carbon capture' or carbon sequestration refers to a variety of experimental technologies that remove toxic gases from anthracite and softer grades of coal so they can be burned safely.
De-watering of lower grade coals removes moisture content so that low quality coal is more combustible and burns cleanly.

Clean coal technology is controversial. Many environmentalists point out that widespread application of IGCC and other carbon capture methods will not be possible until 2025 at the earliest, and require major monetary investment. Clean coal advocates point out the obvious need for a fossil fuel that can help the world transition to green energy, and to the fact that coal is still the most plentiful choice. A production infrastructure is also already in place. Alternative coal stoves for home use have existed for many years. Home coal burners can be a good option in regions where access to coal is easy and the grade of coal available is good. Coal stoves, like wood stoves require regular maintenance and an understanding of the technology in order to keep them operating safely. High efficiency alternative coal furnaces for home use are also available.
Today’s coal burning stoves and furnaces are cleaner than the home coal burners of the previous century, but alternative coal heat is not right for everyone. Consider the maintenance requirements, cost, and affordability of local coal in order to make an informed choice about whether alternative coal is right for you.

Choosing the Right Geothermal Heat Hump

A geothermal heat pump is a system of home heating in the winter and home cooling in the summer that uses the temperature of the earth itself to exchange both hot and cold air. Only volcanic areas of the world tap actual heat from underneath the ground, but because a heat pump uses the relatively constant temperature below the ground as a means to exchange heat rather than generate it, when underground conduits are combined with a heat pump, any part of the country can use the earth for home heating and cooling.

How does a geothermal heat pump work?

The ground just below the surface is warmer than the air above it in winter and colder than the air above it in summer. Underground temperatures stay fairly all stable year round. Although you might not be comfortable if you simply set your house to the underground temperature at any given moment, a geothermal heat pump can regulate the temperature of your house by exchanging cold temperatures for warm ones in winter and warm ones for cooler ones in summer, using the underground temperature as a constant. In other words, a geothermal heat pump uses the constant underground temperature of the earth to exchange heat with the ground, taking it out in winter and putting it back in summer. Unlike air-source heat pumps (such as those in air conditioners or refrigerators) that simply extract heat from the air and then expel it outdoors, geothermal heat pumps perform an actual heat exchange. Heat exchange uses less energy than heat extraction from the air.
A geothermal heat pump is an extremely energy efficient, cost-effective way to heat and cool a home. The same system does both and uses a much smaller amount of electricity to do it than any other conventional home heating and cooling system. When combined with solar panels to generate the electricity needed, a geothermal heat pump can for all practically purposes become a self-sustaining system that uses renewable energy only and leaves a minimal carbon footprint. A geothermal heat pump is affordable to operate but can be very expensive to install. For example, installation of a geothermal heat pump in an existing home can cost upwards of $11,000. Installation requires digging trenches for the underground exchange system, so the initial investment can be substantial.

Air conditioning with an air to water heat pump

However, the return on the installation of a geothermal heat pump is immediate and large. A new heat geothermal heat pump will save a family living in an average-sized home up to 75% a year on heating and cooling costs. So, for instance, if you spend $3600 a year on heating and cooling (not at all a usually high amount at today’s energy prices), you will save as much as $2700 a year right away. At that rate, you can expect to recoup your investment in four to five years. For 2009 and 2010, the U.S. government is providing a $1500 tax credit to homeowners who install a geothermal heat pump in order to encourage people to invest in renewable energy. If you go a step further and install a geothermal heat pump with solar panels to fuel it electrically, after about five years you will have a source of nearly cost-free heat and cooling for your home and family. For more information on geothermal heat pumps as well as links to various state and local programs that provide tax credits or help with installation.

Choosing a Floor Furnace - Home Heating Options

The installation of a floor furnace is a something you should consider if you are planning on revamping the heating system in your home or planning an addition to your living space. The benefits are considerable. A floor furnace is aesthetically pleasing, easy to control, energy efficient and economical and provides some health benefits as well. Floor furnaces have been in use for centuries, beginning in early Roman times, and is rapidly gaining popularity. They are typically installed in bathrooms and atriums since they provide heat to the room individually, but are a good choice for any room. They are ideal anywhere that space is limited or there is the need to eliminate wall mounted or baseboard heaters that can interfere with the visual appeal of a room. Since they are installed underneath the floor, they are virtually invisible.

A floor furnace is installed below the flooring of the room and is not supported by the ground. The piping system hangs from the floor and must clear the ground by a minimum of six inches. The furnace unit itself is also located below the floor and should maintain a minimum clearance on every side from any combustibles. A grate will be installed to allow for easy access to the furnace unit so that maintenance is possible. The grate should be at least six inches away from any walls and be a minimum of 24 inches away from any combustibles of 2 sides. The remaining sides of the grate should be a minimum of 12 inches any doors or other combustibles such as drapery or furniture. Also keep in mind that the grate should be more than 60 inches from any structures such as a stairway or bulkhead. Be sure that the floor furnace is installed in a configuration that will allow for servicing or replacement of any components of the heating unit. Check your local building codes to verify that installation of a floor furnace is permissible in your area; not all areas allow them.

The floor furnace has a boiler that is fueled with natural gas or propane. Water is heated by the boiler and then run through the piping system that is installed under the flooring. These pipes will transfer the heat to the room through warm air convection. The warmth of the floor creates this warm air convection, which provides a comfortable temperature. This exceptional method of heating a room is really very straight forward and effective. It tends create a "climate" through the even distribution of the heat. A wall thermostat is installed on the wall in the same room that the floor furnace is heating. It is best to install the thermostat in the same room in order to make it more convenient to regulate the temperature in the room. Other than the grate on the floor, this is the only part of the furnace that is visible. A floor furnace is available in different sizes, which will of course mean a range of prices. Models are available that use either natural gas or propane and range from 32,000 BTU to 65,000 BTU. They usually start at around $1000 and end up at around $1300. If you cannot find a floor furnace available locally, be prepared to pay extra for shipping the unit to your location.

The use of a floor furnace can provide an overall energy savings of 15-40% when compared to other methods. In addition to the energy savings, this form of heating will keep the moisture content in a room at a relatively low level. This is very beneficial to any members of your family that may suffer from asthma, allergies, or any breathing difficulties. Installing a floor furnace is a decision that will make you feel warm all over.

Air to water heat pumps home heating

The original heat pumps were air source heat pumps for addition to a furnace. Then came ground source heat pumps which could deliver heat to either ducted or in-floor hot water heating systems. These systems are a fair bit more efficient but much more expensive than an air source unit. But what about an air source heat pump for in-floor hot water heating systems?

Attempting to provide a more affordable heat pump system in a home with hot water heating, some contractors utilized a device called a desuperheater. It is basically a heat exchanger here the water in the system flows across the coils which carry refrigerant which has been heated by the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit would be a standard air source unit intended to be hooked up to a coil made to pass heat to air flowing through ductwork. Instead, it would be hooked up to the desuperheater. While this was a cheaper option, the outdoor unit was unfortunately not intended to fulfill the demands of a hot water heating system, which requires different levels of heating at different times.
Only recently have a few different manufacturers began to distribute air source heat pumps made specifically for in-floor hot water heating systems. These units are often called or reverse cycle chillers. The second name refers to their technological resemblance to water cooling machines, but they can now run in reverse to heat water also. Note that these units can only be used with in-floor heating systems. No type of heat pump can be used with baseboard heating systems because they require higher water temperatures that only a boiler can provide. In an air to water heat pump, the heated refrigerant does not enter the house. Instead, it is used to heat water inside the outdoor unit. The heated water is then pumped into the home, where it enters a second heat exchanger. In this heat exchanger, the water from the outdoor unit transfers its heat to the water flowing through the distribution system. If it is a very cold day, the heat pump may act as a pre-heater before the water enters the boiler. On mildly cool days, the boiler will be bypassed.

Air conditioning with an air to water heat pump

The piping of a hot water heating system is unsuitable to deliver cold water to provide air conditioning. This means that, with any type of heat pump, fan units must be installed in rooms where cooling is desired. Cooled water from the outdoor unit will be run through pipes to these units. These units are similar to room air conditioning units in appearance. Of course, if cooling is added to several rooms, this will entail a large increase in the cost of the job. So, adding a heat pump with whole house cooling will cost a fortune with an in-floor heating system, but in the end you’ll have the ultimate heating and cooling system: radiant heating comfort, heat pump efficiency, and air conditioning. An air to water heat pump should have an HSPF efficiency rating similar to air source units, or possibly a bit lower. You can read the article on air source heat pumps for a discussion on how to estimate energy savings with a heat pump.

Advantages of an Outdoor Corn Boiler

Have you considered getting an outdoor corn boiler? With heating costs rising and concern about use of petroleum for heat and energy production, it's no wonder that more people are beginning to wonder about alternative options for heating their homes. One lesser known heating method is the corn boiler. These outdoor heaters burn renewable fuels, such as wood pellets or feed corn, and offer a cost-effective, energy efficient, and safe alternative to standard heating methods. However, it's important to install and operate your furnace correctly and according to the recommendations of the manufacturer if you want to get these benefits. Operating an outdoor boiler inappropriately can lead to greater emissions and pollution. However, when installed and used correctly, this alternative heating option can offer significant benefits. For instance, since outdoor corn boilers are located outside, the risk of a fire inside the home is eliminated. As well, the possibility of smoke and carbon monoxide buildup that comes with indoor wood burning isn't a problem. Outdoor corn boilers are also inexpensive. People who own outdoor furnaces can find themselves paying a quarter to half as much for heat, depending on fuel cost. Most outdoor furnaces don't need to be loaded often. Once or twice a day is common for versions that burn wood, and those with corn hoppers can sustain their heat for days on one load of wood. Some people have even managed to maintain heat for two weeks without having to refill their outdoor corn boiler.

Outdoor furnaces also offer a more even heat than wood stoves. This is because a thermostat controls the heat they produce. Fireplaces and wood stoves are notorious for hot spots and cool spots. Using an outdoor corn boiler removes this problem entirely, as the heat from the furnace enters the home via water radiators or forced air. It's important to remember that even efficient methods of heating like outdoor corn boilers can be affected by outside factors. For instance, inefficient windows and doors, colder outside temperatures, cold air entering the furnace, and poorly insulated buildings are all capable of decreasing furnace efficiency. These problems can be rectified by insulating the buildings that are being heated, installing efficient windows and doors, and keeping cold air out of the furnace.
There are many myths about corn and wood furnaces that prevent people from using them. You might have heard that burning corn or wood is bad for the environment. In fact, these fuels are carbon neutral – burning them doesn't cause a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Heating with these resources also reduces our dependence on fossil fuels, such as oil, which do cause a net increase in emissions. Heating an average home with wood can save sufficient nonrenewable fossil to operate a car for a whole year. People have also said that outdoor furnaces provide a nuisance and have greater particulate emissions than regular wood burners. While this can be true if the owner of these stoves is irresponsible, the same can be said of cars and of standard wood stoves. A properly installed and operated outdoor corn or wood boiler has emissions that are comparable or less than wood stoves. New EPA guidelines mean that outdoor boilers are cleaner than ever.

Celestial beauty of Monpura Island

Monpura Island is an island that is situated in the surface on the river of Meghna at north Bay of Bengal reign of Bangladesh. It is located in Monpura upazilla of Bhola district. It is not far from the main city of Bhola. The area of the island has 8,959 households and a total area of 373 square kilometers. And the population of the island is 67,304. Among another islands of the area are Bhola (which is the largest island of Bangladesh) and Hatia Island are eminent. Bhola is one of the most renowned island and most tourist places in Bangladesh. Monpura Island is different from the main Terrain from Bhola city. The celestial beauty of Monpura is actually so charming that it cannot describe in any language. It is surrounded by the ever green vegetation in the river of Meghna that enclosed with fencing, green paddy fields and the gardens of large mangrove species. The main fantastic watchable scene of Monpura Island are depicted deer, monkey, pythion and a lot of several of birds. During the winter season, abundant of foreign birds come to this island that are unforgettable moments for visitors. The most main beautiful and wondrous feather of this island is anyone can easily see both sunrise and sunset from here that’s really fantastic and charming.

Monpura landing station is one of the most important scenery in that area. The Monpura landing station that is made into 500 meter on the water of river that is not only the tourist people but also the local people gathered here to pass their time till afternoon to late night. Sitting here at night on this station, you imagine that you are floating on the water in middle of the Meghna River. When the stream and the wave are come forward to this station the station trembling this time you mind that you have been floating on the river water. It is really heart touching moments.

The Monpura Island has a deer’s sanctuaries. A lot of deer staying here and there for rest, sleeping and shelter. When the tide time, most of the deer go to the street for temporary shelter, wandering here and there. The local people said that when flock of deer are crossing the road, this time your motorbike standing on the road about four or five minutes. If you are a lucky person, you must watch this beautiful scene by the flock of deer. And the another charming and superb place is the Chowdhury project. This project means a fish of the dizz. Here you can easily watch the large area surrounded by the pond and lake with fishing farm. There are thousands of coconut tree standing in a row beside the lake. This scene is looking very much at the afternoon time because one side this row of coconut tree and the other side are the river of Meghna. Although the cyclone stoke on this project but it is not lose its beauty.

From the time the Monpura Island is more famous for the tragedy movie “Monpura” directed by Giasuddin Selim. The winter season is the most suitable time for watching and travelling this place. And there are many migratory birds are gathered here and they are enriched the beauty of the greatest Monpura island.
