LOW CARBON, HIGH EFFICIENCY HEATING SYSTEMS FOR HIGH HEIGHT BUILDING
Abstract
Prioritizing objectives amid the energy crisis and energy transition requires finding solutions that balance energy affordability with economic competitiveness, while gradually reducing fossil fuel use and promoting renewable and low carbon sources to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets. Currently, industry widely utilizes energy-efficient equipment for heating that relies on natural gas. To support the energy transition outlined in the National Energy Strategy, this paper proposes the study of an experimental radiant tube model powered by electricity from renewable energy sources. The current radiant heating market offers only gas, LPG, diesel units. This study is based on the facts that: a) most industrial users have photovoltaic roof and storage; b) heat pumps have low COP at low outdoor temperatures; c) indoor heating systems warm air that stratifies at ceiling level; d) very low outdoor temperatures create a heat deficit that forces reliance on conventional fuels. In terms of efficiency, radiation is the optimal thermal transfer method. This approach facilitates the use of efficient electric radiant heating equipment for industrial buildings, utilizing energy supplied by photovoltaic panels. In this regard, we develop an innovative prototype of radiant heating equipment powered by electricity with specially designed electrical resistances optimized for maximum radiant temperature. It can be powered by sustainable electricity sources, thereby contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint.
