The heated pool Archena be the laboratory where measurements and training and technical visits to the investigations of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena pursuing energy optimization of these facilities using renewable energy such as biomass, as recorded by the agreement signed today between the mayor, Patricia Fernandez and rector UPCT Jose Antonio Franco.
The data pool Archena be part of the dynamic energy optimization model developed by the thesis of Professor UPCT José Pablo Delgado, also directed by faculty from the Department of Thermal Engineering and Fluids José Ramón García Cascales under the Program PhD in Renewable Energy Technical University of Cartagena.
The investigation of the high cost involved in operating the air conditioning of municipal pools.
"Or go to biomass, or are not viable", said researcher José Pablo Delgado, who was the technical coordinator of the Agency for Energy Management in the Region of Murcia (ARGEM).
"The City of Murcia wants to contribute to research and knowledge in order to improve the energy efficiency of the heated pools," said meanwhile the mayor of the town.
With its 563 cubic meters and over 700 users so far this year, the heated pool Archena exemplifies the savings with this energy, since from that in 2012 began using biomass as fuel saves about 6,000 euros a month in air conditioning , according to the council.
Of the total energy consumed by the pool, 75% comes from biomass and 25% of solar energy is also renewable.
The signing took place at the School of Industrial UPCT where Archena Mayor explained the municipality's experience in the use of biomass as fuel during the day 'economic savings, environmental and social benefits of the use of biomass' that was also held this morning at the Polytechnic.
