The Problem
High Energy Costs Wasted energy (via heat)
![Page 4: Efficient Cooling Presenters: Gregory Beamer, Kathryn Herman, Alex Polvi, Dan Skotte Inventors: Tom Herron, Richard Peterson Mentors: Dan Whitaker, Todd.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519951655034643068b478f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
EC’s Solution
Harness waste heat streams Produce efficient cooling

Technology
“Current modeling resultsindicate that [the] expander/compressor cycle can be more efficient than theabsorption cycle system.”-- Tom Herron, Co-Inventor, Corvallis, OR
![Page 8: Efficient Cooling Presenters: Gregory Beamer, Kathryn Herman, Alex Polvi, Dan Skotte Inventors: Tom Herron, Richard Peterson Mentors: Dan Whitaker, Todd.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519951655034643068b478f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Background
Heat pumps move heat Used in refrigerators, freezers, A/C, etc “Heat activated” = powered by heat COP = (heat out) / (heat in)
![Page 9: Efficient Cooling Presenters: Gregory Beamer, Kathryn Herman, Alex Polvi, Dan Skotte Inventors: Tom Herron, Richard Peterson Mentors: Dan Whitaker, Todd.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519951655034643068b478f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Example COP savings
Total savings: $363.09Data from Polvi’s NwNatural bill

Other considerations
“There are 46,000 registered boilers in Oregon”-- Mike Gramp, State Building Codes Division
![Page 29: Efficient Cooling Presenters: Gregory Beamer, Kathryn Herman, Alex Polvi, Dan Skotte Inventors: Tom Herron, Richard Peterson Mentors: Dan Whitaker, Todd.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519951655034643068b478f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Market Potential
![Page 30: Efficient Cooling Presenters: Gregory Beamer, Kathryn Herman, Alex Polvi, Dan Skotte Inventors: Tom Herron, Richard Peterson Mentors: Dan Whitaker, Todd.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519951655034643068b478f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Business Energy Tax Credit
35% credit for eligible project cost helps with payback
Requirements Existing projects need 10% efficiency
improvement New projects need 10% better then energy
code or standard energy practice Pacificorp and PGE customers are also
eligible for additional Energy Trust credit
![Page 31: Efficient Cooling Presenters: Gregory Beamer, Kathryn Herman, Alex Polvi, Dan Skotte Inventors: Tom Herron, Richard Peterson Mentors: Dan Whitaker, Todd.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519951655034643068b478f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Case Study Part 2: Norpac + Credit
Project: Swap out current system Est. cost: $500,000 Efficiency improvement: 30% Tax credit: $70,000 savings
assuming 40% tax Yearly ROI: $58,000 Payback after 7.5 years
![Page 32: Efficient Cooling Presenters: Gregory Beamer, Kathryn Herman, Alex Polvi, Dan Skotte Inventors: Tom Herron, Richard Peterson Mentors: Dan Whitaker, Todd.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519951655034643068b478f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Potential Issues
High cost of final product (250%) Length of remaining research Iraq/Afghanistan
![Page 33: Efficient Cooling Presenters: Gregory Beamer, Kathryn Herman, Alex Polvi, Dan Skotte Inventors: Tom Herron, Richard Peterson Mentors: Dan Whitaker, Todd.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519951655034643068b478f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Next Steps…
Continue R&D of EC Finish implementation Acquire research grants
Demonstrate working technology Prove expected efficiency Field testing
Apply for SBIR gap funding
