The Government is exploring a potential game-changer for securing future energy supply. Up to $60 million from the Regional Infrastructure Fund has been ring-fenced for exploring supercritical geothermal technology. The first $5 million will be used for work in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, to help understand if it's a possibility. Geothermal wells are drilled to a maximum depth of 3.5 kilometres, but scientists believe by drilling deeper, more energy will be available. GNS Science lead Dr Isabelle Chambeforte told Ryan Bridge that temperatures reach around 330 degrees maximum in the normal geothermal systems, but by drilling a few kilometres deeper, they'll be able to access temperatures of around 450 degrees. She says those temperatures offer a lot more energy per well. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the Refrigeration Mentor Podcast, where we explore the intricacies of refrigeration systems and share valuable insights with our audience. In this episode, we delve into the world of CO2 refrigeration systems, shedding light on the importance of understanding different purities of refrigerants, reading the different manufacturers manuals, comprehending PIDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), and the significance of knowledge-sharing within the industry. Understanding the Different Purity of Refrigerants CO2 refrigeration systems have gained popularity in recent years due to their environmental benefits and efficiency. However, handling CO2 refrigerants comes with its own set of challenges. One of the key aspects to grasp is the varying purity levels of CO2. It is crucial to comprehend the distinctions between food-grade, bone dry, and refrigeration-grade CO2. It is essential for technicians to be aware of the specific requirements for the system they are working on and ensure that they are using the correct grade of CO2. The consequences of using the wrong purity can range from inefficiencies in the system to potential health hazards or equipment damage. The Importance of Reading Manuals One common mistake when installing or servicing CO2 refrigeration systems is neglecting to read the manufacturer's manuals thoroughly. These manuals contain vital information on system specifications, maintenance procedures, and safety guidelines. Technicians should make it a habit to review the manuals before starting any work. CO2 refrigeration systems have unique characteristics and operational requirements compared to traditional refrigerants. Therefore, understanding the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines is essential for the safe and efficient operation of these systems. Neglecting the manuals can lead to improper installations, decreased system performance, and even safety hazards. Understanding PIDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (PIDs) are essential tools for comprehending the operation of CO2 refrigeration systems. They provide a visual representation of the system's components, including valves, sensors, and piping. A thorough understanding of PIDs is crucial for troubleshooting, system design, and maintenance. Technicians should be able to interpret PIDs to identify the flow of refrigerant, control points, and safety features. This knowledge allows them to pinpoint potential issues and make informed decisions during system servicing. Additionally, understanding PIDs can aid in the commissioning process, ensuring that the system operates as intended. Sharing Your Knowledge with Others The field of refrigeration is constantly evolving, and the success of the industry relies on a knowledgeable and well-trained workforce. Technicians and professionals should take the initiative to share their knowledge and experiences with others in the industry. By fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing, we can improve safety practices, increase system efficiency, and collectively address the challenges presented by CO2 refrigeration systems. This can be done through mentorship programs, training sessions, and industry events, such as podcasts like this one. Sharing insights and lessons learned helps to build a more informed and capable workforce.   Free Refrigeration Piping Design Course - Access Here Let's Connect on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/refrigerationmentor/ Upcoming Servicing Compressors, Supermarket and CO2 Trainings - Learn More Here Learn More About Refrigeration Mentor - https://refrigerationmentor.com/ Get A Free Service & Compressor Troubleshooting Guide - Access Here

Water is a powerful weirdo beyond 374 degrees Water is the solvent for life. Beyond the statement, this is a chemical truth: water dissolves a variety of molecules, most of the time for the better. The problem is that it also tends to dissolve a lot of pollutants, which turns wastewater treatment operators crazy when, in turn, they have to separate water from these pollutants. Now there's good news for them: at 374 degrees and 221 bars, water reaches its critical point. And when it goes beyond that, it totally switches its behavior! Supercritical water, for instance, rejects salts and minerals that precipitate; and now dissolves organics. This means that you can also easily dissolve oxygen to trigger a single-phase oxidation that cleans up water in minutes. And guess what, that reaction is exothermic, which means it produces heat that you can recover to turn your process energy positive. That's called supercritical water oxidation, and it proves that water is a powerful weirdo beyond 374 degrees! Wanna dive deeper into the topic?
