Delivered within Selby College’s brand-new Carbon Capture and Storage centre
and its Institute of Technology laboratory, learners will have the opportunity
to use cutting edge technology and training rigs.
The course will be delivered one day a week over five weeks in the classroom,
with a mixture of theory and online immersive learning.
What is heat recovery and transfer?
Heat recovery and transfer is the practice of capturing heat from a source
and making use of it in another place or for another process. This could be
capturing the heat from a factory production line and using it to heat the
factory offices or transferring heat from a furnace and using it to increase the
efficiency of a heat pump. Various technologies, systems and methods can be used
to capture and transfer heat.
At Selby College, we have various training rigs which simulate the technology
and processes used in heat recovery and transfer. By using rigs which mimic
real-world methods, learners are able to carry out experiments and generate data
on the efficiency of these methods and scope how successfully a solution could
be implemented in their particular industry, business or property.
How can heat recovery and transfer solutions be applied?
Many businesses and homes could make use of simple heat recovery solutions to
reduce emissions and energy consumption. Making better use of heat that is
produced anyway is going to play a key part in the UK meeting net-zero targets.
Whilst much of the technology used in heat recovery has existed for some time,
using it in a systematic way to save energy, reduce cost and create efficiencies
is new but starting to gain traction. For example, there are plans underway in
the UK to build data centres linked to community swimming pools – the pool gets
heated and in return, the data centre is cooled.
What will the course cover?
- Heat, energy and thermo-dynamics
- Heat recovery technologies
- Scoping and specification of heat recovery and transfer systems
- How to use technology to reduce energy cost and emissions
Plus much more..
