TMI S TECHNICAL DATA BOOK‘The co-generation system at Sydney Institute of Technology utilises a gas engine to drive a compressor type chiller. Heat recovered from the jacket water of the engine provides hot water to the building Photo cunesy Command Environment & Enemy Sevier P/L The gas fired absorption air conditioning chiller located in the central plant at the Ibis Hotel, Darling Harbour uilises the water refrigerant/ lithium bromide absorber system. CFCs and HCFCs (normally associated with vapour compression type chillers) are thereby completely avoided. NAGL City and suburban buses running on natural gas Ihave been shown to: —ran more quietly — reduce localised air pollution, jenefit from the usual other advantages ed with operating a transport service on 3 virtually uninterruptible fuel supply atthe depot Forklift trucks are a prime example of vehicles ideally suited to running on compressed natural eas With a filling appliance on site — fuel deliveries — running out of fuel — cylinder storage are no longer distractions to the efficient running of normal business operations.r ¢ insetning me F. FoepRAT. PREFACE This data book is designed to provide a range of technical information relevant to natural gas and its application in industey and commerce. | Industries using natural gas report considerable benefits owing to the following attributes of the indigenous fuel: 7 Uniform in quality, produces consistent temperatures and is \> {deal for auromatie operations. No capital is tied up in purchased fuel or in the space required to store it, No hazard of fel spills MIs non-toxic before and after combustion, (with properly ‘maintained equipment) The absence of soot in combustion reduces maintenance costs and extends equipment life 7k W_Ieisa low cost form of energy, not only in fuel but in associated ? savings |> Reliable in supply regardless of adverse weather conditions ‘ Australia is fortunate in shaing with other advanced indalifial nations thé most a dependable, efficient, clean, controllable and economic fuel yet discovered.
