Reasons for participating in the competition(s)

Maison Notre Dame Du Mont in Fatqa is inhabited by 151 people on average all year long. For domestic hot water consumption, a central hot water system is currently used, consisting of 5,250 Liters storage heated by 4 Diesel boilers, serving domestic hot water use for both the Nursing Home and the Hotel.

 This project is the integration of 255 Square Meters Open Type Vacuum Tubes Solar Pergola.

The Pergola Solar System is a pioneering product outweighing all standard type solar systems available in the market. Its uniqueness increases its commercial value.

The Pergola solar system can be easily expanded or upgraded on demand.

This system was implemented in parallel with the existing boiler system and to be connected to new and existing storage tanks.

 The total cost  of the project is 159,999.00 USD.

 The expected yearly savings of the system are around 32,402.42 USD and the payback period is 5 years.

 The current yearly expenses on Diesel for thermal energy generation are approximately32,740.86 USD, equivalent to a yearly consumption of 36,378.74 Liters of Diesel. Hence, the current thermal energy required is 258,693.23 kWh.

 The installed solar water heating system is expected to generate yearly 256,019.09 kWhof thermal energy, hence covering 83% of the yearly energy demand for hot water consumption, and reducing CO2 emissions by 94,687.06 kg yearly.

The roof of the facility is suitable for such an installation and the construction can accommodate all required items for implementation.

 During its lifetime of 28 years, the system will cost the user 182,399.00 USD (including maintenance and consumables) and will generate 6,279,654.59kWh of thermal energy. The cost of thermal energy from the installed system is 0.03 USD/kWh.

 

Over the years, the system would have cost 182,399.00 USD and would have saved794,768.78 USD (taking into consideration the degradation factor). Hence, according to the current Diesel price, the system would benefit the user with 612,369.18USD during its lifetime.

Presentation of the Installed Project

 The installed system for installation is 255 Square Meters Open Type Vacuum Tubes Solar Pergola that is to be implemented in parallel with existing boilers and connected to both existing and new hot water storage tanks.

 Our objective was to separate the two main parts of the project (Hotel and Nursing) by the mean of hot water production and to reduce fuel consumption by introducing solar energy.

Existing Status: 4 boilers around 230 KW are serving both nursing and hotel facility with common heating supply system.

Modification on Existing system: additional boiler with a capacity of 400 Kw should be installed, and one the exiting boilers shall be connected to the newly installed boiler and separated from the exiting 3 other boilers. This new configuration shall allow independent heating production for nursing home from the hotel.

Concerning Nursing Home, separate boilers shall be installed in the technical room as discussed above, and a common solar system made up of 255 square meters were installed on roof. These panels are currently heating a new hot water storage tank of 1500L capacity in order to preheat the cold water entering the main solar and boiler heated hot water storage tank of 1500L capacity also.

The existing boilers shall be dedicated to the hotel and the same common solar system was installed on roof. These panels are currently heating an existing hot water storage tank of 1500L capacity in basement technical room in order to preheat the cold water entering the double coil new hot water storage tank of 1500L capacity serving Hotel’s first and second floors. As for the kitchen and laundry, a new double coil hot water storage tank of 1000L capacity was installed. These solar panels are heating

 also the existing hot water storage tank of 1500L capacity in hotel’s roof technical room in order to preheat the cold water entering a new added double coil hot water storage tank of 1500L serving Hotels third and fourth floors.

 During sunny periods of year, the installed system is expected to cover all the hot water consumption of the facility, hence skipping the use of the boilers for water heating during this season (April to September). In mid-seasons between summer and winter, the system is expected to cover around 50% of the hot water consumption, hence reducing considerably the current fuel consumption for heating water in these seasons. During winter, the system is expected to cover around 40% of the hot water consumption, therefore, a reduction on the fuel expenses will also come about in this season.

 This system was implemented to make use of natural resources to reduce fuel consumption for water heating. Moreover, energy meters were installed in order to measure the energy ( in kWh ) and the flow ( in Liters per Second ) of the hot water in order to keep track of the hot water consumption. Data will then be available for further study whenever more actions are needed to analyze the energy consumption for domestic hot water provision.

 The main components of this system are the following:

  255 m² Open Type Vacuum Tubes Solar Pergola

  4 Differential Temperature Controllers

  2 sets of Circulating Pumps

  1 Open Type Expansion Tank

  4 Three-Way Valve

  Make-Up Water System

  7 Energy Meters

  4 Flow Meters (water meters and fuel meters)

  4 New Hot Water Storage Tanks

  Galvanized Steel Pipes

  UPS Battery System

  Boiler 400Kw

The system was implemented according to highest standards of quality and safety.
