EAS converts a pollution control system's waste exhaust heat -- 400oF to 600oF air -- into "free energy." This energy, in the form of steam or hot water, then drives a Carrier absorption chiller for process cooling or air conditioning. Typical time to realize payback from energy savings on EAS will range from one to four years.
"EAS is proven and effective," said Joe Prestinario, AWS vice president of marketing. "Systems have been operating successfully for two years at Continental Web, Walton, Ky., and Press of Ohio, near Cleveland."
Under the agreement, Carrier and AWS will partner to provide the exclusive energy savings system. Carrier will provide the absorption chillers and other necessary HVAC equipment. AWS will provide system engineering, pollution control equipment and full installation. While Carrier and AWS offer the EAS for any pollution control application, the strategic alliance agreement is exclusive for both companies in the converting, graphic arts and printing industries.
"EAS is extremely popular with companies concerned about environmental responsibility," said Doug Rector, Carrier product manager, absorption chillers. "It utilizes waste heat and reduces energy costs for chilled water. In addition, the absorption chiller uses a lithium bromide and water refrigeration cycle with water as the refrigerant, providing an alternative to chlorine-based refrigerants used in vapor-compression-type chillers."
Carrier's single-effect Model 16JB absorption chiller delivers efficient cooling with minimal use of electricity and is available in capacities from 100 tons to 680 tons.
For more information on these systems, contact your local Carrier Building Systems and Services office, or AWS at 1-800-297-6861. Or, visit the companies' web sites: www.carrier.com and www.aws-usa.com.
AWS is a full-service company which designs, manufactures, markets, installs and services a broad range of refrigeration and pollution control equipment.
Carrier Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of heating and air conditioning systems and equipment. It is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, provider of a broad range of high-technology products and services to the aerospace, building systems and automotive industries.
