1、 l I For Maximum Real- World Chiller Efficiency, Turn to MxE“ Chillers Maximum Efficiency While some chillers claim high efficiency at design conditions, its off-design efficiency that counts in the real world. Thats because chillers typically spend 99% of their operating hours at off-design conditi
2、ons. And no competitive chiller line matches YORK MAXE“ chillers in real- world energy performance, the combined performance at all operating conditions. In fact, MxE chillers have some of the best Integrated Part Load Value (IPLV) ratings in the industry. Maximum Versatility In the real world, no s

15、 9 on Reader Service Card or visit www.pub- Where Credit Is Due am proud to be a part of ASHRAE. But I sometimes have trouble describing ASHRAE to my friends. This is partly because ASHRAE deals with technologies instead of people and products. Its also because my friends are only interested in golf
16、. Whats unfortunate is that ASHRAEs contributions to society are largely untold. An example is a recent article in the New York Times about the phenomenal increases in the sale and variety of frozen food products. More than 245 dinners and entrees were introduced in 2001. Sales increased to $7.2 bil
17、lion in 2001, 7% more than 2000. The article discusses the economic drivers and how ready-to-cook meals and side dishes have made our lives easier and healthier. It also cites recent technical advances in quality that started five years ago with the “rising crust” that gave frozen pizza the taste an
18、d consistency of pies from a pizzeria. Subsequent advances include quick-freezing technologies that prevent flavor degradation, sprayed-on sauces and spices for improved I Fred Turner distribution, and frozen flavor “lozenges” that melt into food. YOU WOULDNT expect to read about ASHRAE in a New Yor
19、k Times article on frozen foods. But you could. Such an article could start with Clarence Birdseye who in the 1920s developed a process to freeze fresh vegetables and another process to remove water so vegetables can be efficiently packaged. Birdseye was a fellow in the American Society of Refrigera
20、ting Engineers (ASRE), one ofASHRAEs predecessors. ASHRAE librarian Emily Sigman says Birdseye actively participated on ASRE technical committees, wrote a number of papers and enjoyed entertaining his ASRE colleagues with dinners made solely from his frozen products. The article also could mention t
21、he 17 ASHRAE research projects on food preservation, 19 ASHRAE standards on refrigeration, the 700-plus page ASHRAE Refrigeration Handbook, 23 books or CDs, several position papers, and many articles, including George Brileys article in this issue. The bottom line is ASHRAE will never get the credit
22、 its due. But the thousands of volunteers who do the research, raise money for research, develop standards and equipment, produce handbook chapters and write articles still should be proud French Technology Displayed at Interclima PARISAS 2001 drew to aclose, Frances “The concern for better control

Offshore Wind Technology Sh
45、ows Promise BRUSSELS, Belgium-The technology for the construction and operation of off- shore windfarms is now ready for large- scale application - and companies in the fields of engineering and services are preparing to take part. This can be seen in the conclusions of the Concerted Action on Offsh
46、ore Wind Energy in Europe (CA-OWEE) project of the European Union. The project in- volved 17 entities from 13 European countries that have brought together knowledge on this subject from all over Europe. The Wind Energy section at TU Delft, which coordinated the project, has published a final report
47、 at www.0 ffshorewindenergy.org . CA-OWEE was funded by the European Commission to stimulate the develop- ment of offshore wind-energy into an im- portant energy source. Now that the tech- nology is viable, the most important chal- lenges lie in the reduction of costs, the building up of experience
48、and confidence in the building and maintenance of large wind-parks, the connection of these parks to existing electricity networks and the consequences for the landscape and birds. The authors of the report make sug- gestions for where further research should be focused. The European Commissions pro
49、ject focused on large-scale exploitation of offshore wind by wind-turbines with a large capacity and high scores for per- formance, sustainability, availability and reliability. The EU would like wind-tur- bines that are friendlier for the environ- ment and cost less to install and produce than current units. Currently, the largest European off- shore wind-turbine park is at Middelgrunden, sever
