Kaiser Medical Center:
Description: Mr. Henrikson was project manager and engineer for design and assistance during construction and start-up of a cogeneration system, waste-to-energy incineration facility, energy conservation measures, and chilled water thermal energy storage (TES) for the Kaiser Medical Center. The system includes on-site incineration of regular and infectious waste from the hospital. Steam is generated from the waste heat and the exhaust is cleansed through the specially controlled two-stage combustion process and scrubber system. The cogeneration system generates electricity on-site for use in the hospital. Waste heat from cogeneration exhaust is recovered for steam generation. This waste heat generated steam, combined with the incinerator steam, is used for hospital space heating, domestic hot water heating, and space cooling from an absorption chiller. Chilled water thermal energy storage allows chillers to be operated in less expensive nighttime periods and to be partly shut down during more expensive daytime periods. For this project, Mr. Henrikson received the First Place 1990 national ASHRAE Energy Award for this Integrated Energy and Waste Disposal System.
