WHERE TO USE, ADVANTAGES, WHY HydroCoil IS BETTER
|
|
light weight, easily assembled polymer components |
|
| HydroCoil applications for micro hydro POWER GENERATION:
Low head hydro [ 4 to 20 meters]
-
for municipal water treatment plants [at least 25,000 incorporated towns/cities], install HydroCoil turbines at effluent pipes, during transit or at cascade, to help decrease monthly electric expenses
- irrigation canals
- retrofit 81,000 existing, non-electrified dams 12 feet or higher (FEMA in National Inventory of Dams), suitable for electrification
- contribute to efficiency of existing hydropower dams - adapt to the tailwater, supply onsite lighting or surveillance
- remote monitoring - reservoir security, pipelines, seismic, weather, military
- conduits from reservoirs into cities & towns, or under the Mississippi River levees.
-
industrial processes, paper mills, pharmaceutical and food processing, mining operations
-
auxiliary electric power--
-
emergency preparedness with distributed, local power
-
disaster relief after earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, war, EMP or nuclear detonation
-
tethered to boats/ships/bridges in water currents
- littoral operations--submerged vessels & coastline monitoring
- AND inside pipes
- high rise buildings--rooftop water towers, vertical water supply stacks, or supplement/replace PRV's--pressure relief valves.
- golf course watering systems
- farms, camps, research sites
- Other:
|
At approximately 2 kW peak capacity per 6" HydroCoil turbine , and 24/7/365 , that would = potential 17,520 kWh per year used by consumer
|
|
Smooth water flow through turbine. Hydroelectric - DC or AC energy. |
|
|
-
no fuel transportation, storage, combustion, or radiation
-
focused energy is captured sequentially from flowing water
- low cost injection molding, relatively simple design
-
fabricate from light weight polymer or composite
- flexibility and ease of locating in or next to pipes, raceways, canals
- self-orienting in the water current of rivers, harbors, ocean
|
ADVANTAGES of the HYDROCOIL TURBINE |
- light weight: approx. 40 lbs. [ 6" diam.; portable]
- scalable in modules/clusters--depending on site configuration [ to provide up to 200 kW]
- application diversity--above water, under water, half-under water [see above]
- install in-pipe, outside pipe, next to pipe, no pipe
- self-contained electricity generation--at least 4 patented style/design variations
- adaptability, simplicity of use, ease of installation
- substantial energy capability--6" diameter up to 2 kW, 12" up to 8 kW.
- competitively priced - and low-cost polymer parts--payback in about 4yrs.
- extended usage - up to 8 yr. life cycle potential
