This report will focus on\r\nhow to increase the efficiency of heating the pool water using steam, as well as suggest an\r\nalternative heating approach.\r\nThe steam transfers heat to the pool water in a single plate heat exchanger. Adding\r\nanother heat exchanger will increase the amount of heat transferred to the pool water. Another\r\noption is to replace the current heat exchanger with a new double plate heat exchanger. Double\r\nplate heat exchangers are known for their increased heat transfer efficiency. This method will\r\nreduce the Aquatic centre\u00E2\u0080\u0099s yearly energy costs by 14%.\r\nAn additional suggestion is to add a dehumidifier to the indoor pool building. About\r\n4500L/day of water evaporates from the surface of the pools, which causes corrosion and mold\r\nto damage equipment inside the pool housing. A dehumidifier prevents this by converting the\r\nmoisture into water, creating a drier air for the indoor pool. There are two large advantages to\r\nthis: 70% of the water that evaporates could be recycled back into the pool if filtered, and the\r\nmaintenance cost for the indoor equipment is reduced.\r\nNow, the alternative to the steam heating is using natural gas to heat up the pools\u00E2\u0080\u0099\r\nwater. There are gas pipelines all around UBC that could be re\u00E2\u0080\u0090routed to the pool. The pool\r\nwater would be heated in a gas heater, which is quicker and more efficient than steam. We are\r\nnot causing any environmental harm by doing this because the gas that would normally be used\r\nto make the steam at the UBC steam plant would now simply be directly used to heat up the\r\nAquatic centre water. It is more energy efficient, as there is also no transport heat loss that\r\nnormally occurs when steam is shipped from the steam plant to the pool. The energy cost\r\nsavings would cover the capital costs of the heaters (approximately $1 million including all\r\ninstallation costs) in just 8 years.\r\nThe final conclusion that can be drawn from this analysis is that for short term changes,\r\neither a heat exchanger or dehumidifier, or both, should be added to increase heating efficiency.\r\nThis change would fit the client\u00E2\u0080\u0099s current budget. However, in the long run, a gas fired heater should be considered as a new source of heating rather than steam heat exchange.
