Renewable energy funny!!

Generally AC heat is shed outside.

Waste heat recovery systems interact with the AC unit by blocking the

exhaust, or by having an extra coil before the AC coil.

These systems are not that effective, and heat disperses a lot, making most people doubt the use of a waste heat

recovery system.

The AC unit harvests heat from the building.

If the AC unit were in the basement, the heat would have to disperse into

the building.

But we’re COOLING the building!!

If the waste heat recovery method generates electricity, the heat is gone!

• Energy is neither created nor destroyed. • Heat that is focused and then used to run a boiler

is converted into electrical energy.• This means that it is no longer heat! • It’s true, not all the heat will make it to

electricity.• A system that vents into itself would be able to

maintain the required temperature for efficient conversion. So overheating can be avoided because at the “overheat”, more energy is converted to electricity.

More on the overheating.

• At first one wants to think that there will be heat that can’t be used. The temperature of power production is high.

• If the energy is refocused and blended with incoming energy (using the AC unit), the temperature will be lowered to a consistent point by the electricity production process. (although entropy must be considered)

• So, once the machine is “warmed up”, all of the energy taken in will be converted to electricity.

The energy will disperse into the air that is already being harvested (cooled). The energy level outside is higher than in the building, so

energy will still disperse from the outdoors into the building, keeping building heat inside the

building.

If the unit can convert the buildings used energy into electricity, it won’t

need new electricity, it gets it back. If the building also harvests heat from outside, it could use the Urban Heat

Island to power the grid!!

It’s against the law…

• It is illegal to put AC units in the basement.

• (don’t get too scoffy, I know its because of fire)

• It would take engineering to make the system work, and operators to make it keep working.

• This is why it was illegal to build tall buildings!!

• They might fall over!!
