U985: Microwaves for Processing Environmental Waste

Applications for microwave processing environmental and hazardous wastes provides several advantages over conventional heating processes. The ability to provide selective and volumetric heating as compared to surface heating associated with traditional techniques as well as the ability of microwaves to be applied remotely and heat in situ are particularly important given the hazardous nature of the materials and associated environment. Additional benefits include an overall reduction in process

U1036: Safety and Design Guidelines for Wiring in 3 Phase, 4 Wire Customer Distribution Systems

This report provides utilities with information regarding the impact of nonlinear loads in commercial 3-phase, 4-wire distribution systems, and assists customers in the effective design and retrofit of their distribution systems. This report provides an analysis of harmonic charcteristics of nonlinear loads connected on a 3-phase, 4-wire distribution system. Case studies and analytical models are presented to study the harmonic profiles of commercial facilities with current office loads.This rep

U50: Integration of Solar Heating with Electrical Heating Systems

This report describes the methods and results of an investigation of resulting increases in utility system peak loads and decreases in system load factors due to the use of electrical energy on-demand for a supplementary energy source for residential space and water heating. A model is developed that permits realistic evaluations of the impact of solar-electric dwellings in Canadian cities on peak loads and load factors of electrical utilities and of the total annual saving in electrical energy

U587: Proportional Control System for Forced-Air Electric Furnaces

Forced-air electric furnaces are simple, reliable, safe, compact, easy to install, and efficient. However, they are sometimes not chosen by homeowners because they can be a source of drafts, noise, and uneven temperatures. This report describes a low-cost control modification that improves the comfort of occupants using these furnaces.

U601B: LIGHT PIPE™ Illumination System Installation At The Winnipeg International Airport

CEA Project Number 708 U 601 focussed on the development of a high efficiency design concept for low glare, high bay illumination. According to this concept, high efficiency HID lamps are mounted centrally within a Light Pipe™ structure. Several new, and now patented, design concepts were applied to minimize absorption losses in the structure. The results of that preliminary effort were an R&D prototype yielding high efficiency and reasonable uniformity. The current report discusses carryi

U522: High Power Lasers in Commercial and Industrial Applications

A state-of-the-art review on high power laser technology in Canada has been conducted. The scope of laser technology in materials processing industries in Canada has been examined. A survey has been carried out to identify the current applications of high power lasers in materials processing industries. The impediments to the development of high power lasers and acceptance of lasers in material processing industries were examined. Potential applications of lasers in materials processing industri

U998: Performance Requirements for Mechanical and Electronic Wall Thermostats

The scope of the CSA standard covering the performance of wall thermostats, C2734, only includes the thermal performance of mechanical, line-voltage models. This study explores changes necessary to include all other types of thermostats used today to control electric space conditioning appliances. Thermal performance was tested using more realistic warm-up and cool-down curves.The performance characteristics need to be reexpressed and added to. Two levels of performance quality are proposed.

U84: Efficiency of Oil, Gas and Electricity

The report compares the net energy available for building heat from alternative energy sources of oil, natural gas and electricity. The study provides an energy accounting of the various energy losses from the ultimate energy source, e.g. natural gas in the ground, to the actual point of utilization in a building heater. Five user locations are considered - Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Saint John. All energies required to recover the resource, convert it to the final form and deliv
