Cheap and Green Insulation: Recycled Paper Cellulose

May 20, 2012 By

Recently, Jay’s dad started building on some property he owns in Rural Virginia. The first structure built was the garage/workshop. Jay and I were eager for the chance to try out some green building materials as an alternative to the usual stuff. Before traveling over to the east coast for Turkey Day, we did some research along side his pops about what the cheapest, most green insulation material could be used (which could also be purchased at a major box store near by). We found that Recycled Paper Cellulose was the least expensive material you could buy, at 25 cents per sq. foot and it is available through most building material suppliers. The alternatives were ‘The Pink Stuff’, fiberglass rolls at about 50 cents per sq. foot. I was wary of using fiberglass because of its notorious itch inducing particles that will irritate not just your skin, but your lungs as well! If the particles ever become loose and get into your ventilation system, this can mean big trouble for your internal organs and cancer fighting immune system. Another recycled and mostly benign insulator are the trendy new denim rolls. These are made from recycled scraps from jean manufacturers. This was my top choice until I did a price check. This stuff goes for .00 per sq. foot. Yikes! The price factor is still top priority when you have to build, those square feet can add up fast. And when you’re trying to convince a retiring baby boomer to go green even though it costs 4 times as much, they’re gonna …

The Solar energy advantages are numerous from tax credits to rebates to Solar renewable energy credits to mention a few. However combining Solar and Geothermal renewable energy – the solar geothermal hybrid home-provides an even more efficient and lucrative investment. Solar and Geothermal Advantages Solar Geothermal advantages are significant in terms of investment costs and energy reduction. The initial investment costs for Solar with Geothermal can save up to 35% off initial investment costs because of the lower costs for Geothermal.

Air Squared Moves Organic Rankine Cycle Scroll Expander into Production to Encourage New Waste Heat Recovery Applications

May 18, 2012 By


Broomfield, CO (PRWEB) May 09, 2012

Air Squared Inc., a leader in oil-free scroll technology, has developed an oil-free 1 kW scroll expander, designed for use in a small-scale organic rankine cycle (ORC). Air Squared hopes that moving the expander into production will open doors for new research and development in waste heat recovery.

Typically used in large power plants, the function of an organic rankine cycle is simple: convert wasted heat into usable energy. With rising energy prices and ongoing environmental concerns, there is now an interest in applying this clean and efficient technology to new areas. With the help of Air Squared’s patented scroll expander, wasted heat can be captured from exhaust gases, liquid cooling systems of internal combustion engines, fuel cells, solar collectors, and a number of other devices.

“We have been contacted by hundreds of companies and universities that want to explore small-scale organic rankine cycles,” said Robert Shaffer, President of Air Squared. “The problem is, options for oil-free expanders are limited. Our scroll technology is the perfect solution.”

By using a scroll design, Air Squared provides an expander option that is as affordable as it is effective. It is also oil-free, allowing for clean expansion without the impurities of oil. Running at 70% efficiency and weighing just 20 lbs, the compact expander is rated up to 1 kW. The rotary scroll design provides quiet, reliable, balanced, pulse-free operation with noise levels as low as 40 dBa.

About Air Squared, Inc.

Air Squared, Inc. is the industry leader in oil-free scroll design and manufacturing. By introducing a simple design with fewer moving parts, scroll technology has established itself as a highly efficient, very reliable, cost-effective alternative. Through a growing line of compressors, vacuum pumps, and expanders, Air Squared makes the many advantages of oil-free scroll technology available to OEMs worldwide.
