WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ilios
Dynamics, a subsidiary of Tecogen® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN)
today announced the sale of seven HEWH-500-WS natural gas engine
driven heat pumps to a world-class biomedical research facility in
Florida. The product will be
implemented in such a manner as to provide hot water and chilled
water simultaneously. The hot and chilled water is needed for
precise climate control in laboratory environments where both
temperature and humidity must be maintained to specific
conditions.
The units will be providing hot water at over twice the
efficiency of the existing boiler plant, thereby saving
considerable natural gas as well as the corresponding
CO2 savings associated with consuming less fuel.
Cooling, a free by-product, will be used to chill water and will
"peak shave" their existing chiller plant saving kilowatt hours
(kWh) as well as reducing costly demand charges. The electric
savings realized in the central chilling plant will also provide
additional CO2 reduction for the facility.
The Ilios natural gas engine driven heat pump is part of a
larger energy efficiency retrofit project being implemented by a
forward thinking top-tier mechanical contractor. This project will
be the first of its kind in Florida.
"Research laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities represent a
major vertical market that we are focusing a lot of our attention
on," says Steve Lafaille, Ilios
Product Manager. "These types of facilities are inherently energy
intensive; with a constant need for heating and cooling. World
class facilities such as these strive to be innovative in every
sense, in their research, their products, as well as in their
energy conservation measures, and we plan to capitalize on that.
The Ilios product delivers a lot of value in a small
package-massive energy savings, carbon reduction, and clean
emissions, making it a wise choice for environmentally conscious
facilities."
