UltraClean Low Swirl Combustion
This low-swirl burner uses small air jets to swirl the premixed flow inside the burner tube, providing a stabilized lean premixed combustion. This ring stabilizer keeps the flame steady under both fuel-rich and lean conditions and helps produce more complete combustion, which increases efficiency and reduces pollution. Burning a Cleaner Flame Humankind has been … [Read more...] about UltraClean Low Swirl Combustion

EnergyPlus Saves Federal Building $9 Million in Energy Costs By Robin Johnston, June 2002 EnergyPlus software — a building energy simulation program distributed by Berkeley Lab — has been integral to the design of a new federal office building to be built in San Francisco. EnergyPlus contributed to nearly $9 million in energy costs savings projected over 20 years, according … [Read more...] about Licensed Technologies – EnergyPlus Software
Active Cryogenic Electronic Envelope 2014-038
The Berkeley Lab Active Cryogenic Electronic Envelope allows conventional front-end electronics, such as enhanced metal-oxide semiconductors, to work inside cryostats at temperatures as low as 4.2K without the expense of custom-made electronics. APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY: Instrumentation for cryogenic vessels used in Medical diagnostic equipment Aerospace … [Read more...] about Active Cryogenic Electronic Envelope 2014-038
Sealing in Energy Savings
If every home in the United States sealed its leaky HVAC ducts, the nation would save $5 billion annually in energy costs. Typical ductwork systems, both residential and commercial, lose 25-40 percent of heating and cooling energy; even newly installed systems experience 10-30 percent leakage. Solving this energy-wasting problem, once a costly, labor-intensive process, can … [Read more...] about Sealing in Energy Savings
