Renewable Heating Seminar: Rivers of Gold - Could Glasgow University Be Heated By the River Kelvin?
Glasgow, UK (PRWEB) September 06, 2013 -- The afternoon seminar on renewable heating, held at the James Watt Building South (Room 468 – 3:00- 5:00 pm), in the University of Glasgow is open to the public on Tuesday, September 10, 2013.
The seminar will focus on the most recent technological advances in renewable heating which have made possible to heat European cities by extracting heat from the freezing waters of natural rivers and seas and deliver it at 90C, with zero global warming impact.
David Pearson, Director of Innovation at Star Refrigeration will consider the contribution renewable heating could make towards the UK’s total energy demand as 50% of the energy we used is consumed for heating. He will also explain how renewable industrial heat pumps could provide 20-year multimillion payoffs through the government’s Renewable Heat Incentive.
He will also be discussing:
• Could the Kelvin’s cold waters heat the university campus?
• Could this be the end of the combustion addicted heating habits established in the industrial Revolution?
• Could this bring the 1850’s heatpump vision of Glasgow’s Lord Kelvin one step closer to reality?
The discussion will then be followed by a Q&A where attendees will have the opportunity to gain further insight from the speaker. The seminar will be reported through Star Refrigeration’s website to encourage awareness of the key issues among the broader public.
Registration is managed by Star Refrigeration’s Glasgow office. Interested parties should contact Star on +44 (0) 141 6387916 to book a free sit.
