Maintenance technician’s heat-exchanger trial aims to cut district energy costs
Summary
A maintenance technician, Andrew Barton, installed a heat exchanger at York High School that staff said is being tied into the system and "should save us a lot of money on energy cost," with an expected payback of about a year, according to the presenter.
The presenter credited maintenance technician Andrew Barton with proposing and installing a heat exchanger at York High School. He said the device is "still tying it into the system now," but that once operational it "should save us a lot of money on, you know, energy cost" and help reduce boiler and chiller loads seasonally.
The presenter estimated the heat exchanger would "pay for itself in probably a year or so," calling it an expensive piece of equipment but one expected to yield near-term energy savings. The presentation did not include a technical analysis or measured-savings data; the claim is a projected outcome from the district staff.
