Instructor: Ramon J. Figueroa, MSME, PE, EdD
In this three hour course, the engineer will learn a standard field monitoring protocol for evaluating the installed performance of HPWHs in residential buildings. The report is organized to be consistent with the chronology of field test planning and execution. Research questions are identified first, followed by a discussion of analysis methods. The details of measuring the required information are then laid out. A field validation of the protocol at a house near the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) campus is included in the appendix. Engineers taking this course will review a variety of key information related to HPWH installation, testing, monitoring, and use.
Engineers who take this course will gain a strong familiarity with the characteristics of HPWHs. HPWHs are becoming increasingly popular due to their energy efficient properties as compared to conventional water heaters. Knowledge and familiarity with this technology is important as they continue to be preferred and installed more often than conventional water heaters. This course covers the intricacies of HPWH performance data, thermocouples, sensors, and monitors. Engineers taking this course discover how to best place and install HPWHs while also learning about the monitors and sensors most important to the heater’s lifespan.
