CDM.
It was decided that "we will award a finders fee of Rs. 20,000 per
project idea if we take your proposal further and prepare a PDD for it,
under CDM. We are presently looking for another 30 interesting projects,
which we will support through the project cycle of approval by DNA and
CDM Executive Board".
The CDM project ideas, received are under review. We will inform the

" Issue # EE 05:
Monitoring and controlling the stack gas temperature of a combustion
process as well as oxygen (O2) in the stack gas are the minimum
requirement to check on unnecessary fuel consumption. Rules of thumb
are that reduction of 20oC of stack gas temperature will reduce
fuel consumption by 1%. Reduction of 1% of O2 in the stack
gas will reduce fuel consumption by between 0.5% and 1% depending of
the fuel fired."
Questions are: a.Where would you measure the stack
gas temperature and why do you recommend this location,
in the system. b.Which is the best solution to measure
either O2 or CO2 in the stack
gas and why is it the best solution. c. Where would you place the O2 sensor
and why do you select this location.

We invite you to write a technical paper on the issue
given below:
"Issue # EE 06 Any meaningful impact of an energy manager in a
firm depends heavily on his/her ability to organize
energy data logging as well as data collection from
various departments of the firm not to mention data
analysis and aggregation. The energy manager is faced
with not so trivial issues such as comprehensiveness
of data as well as correctness of data. Validation
is as well an issue. Even in so called ISO 900X certified
companies, which are supposed to regularly calibrate
and repair in line instrumentation, sometimes instrumentation
is simply not working. A stunningly simple procedure
to make departments accountable for energy consumption
is to either internally charge departments for their
energy consumption, or even assign consumption ceilings
to individual equipment. There are advantages as well
as disadvantages making a boiler, or the ceramic tile
department, or a motor-fan arrangement into a profit
or loss centre. Tell us about your experience with
internally charging departments for energy consumption,
or any other management schemes to improve on energy
accounting in your firm. No technical solutions please!!
They are all known to us."
" Issue # EE 04:
Recovery of the sensible heat of high temperature stack gas from combustion
systems (boilers, furnaces) by retrofitting a heat exchanger seems to
be a standard but nevertheless controversial recommendation. Implicit
complications are increased pressure drop, fouling of heat exchanger
and occasionally the need for an ID fan to overcome the pressure drop.
We are looking for information about best and as well worst cases and
why these work or don't work. Furthermore documentation should be given
with regard to financial attractiveness because recovery of waste heat
is not always a cost effective option."

Variable speed drives are useful if the speed of a pump or fan is "variable".
They are not always cost effective. Simpler less expensive solutions
such as changing pulleys, modifications of the fan blades or a new fan,
may be more effective in some cases. We are looking for people who have

Why do companies buy boilers with a low thermal energy efficiency? Because
looking at life cycle costs is uncommon. Some are not so sure what the
