Building survey: Building 184-K powerhouse
The results of a building energy survey of Building 184-K powerhouse, which serves an area including a nuclear reactor facility, are given. This facility is located in the Savannah River Plant of the Energy Research and Development Administration near Aiken, S. C. Appropriate manuals and guidelines published by ERDA were used for the survey and appraisal. The survey period was for one year, July 1, 1975, to June 30, 1976. Process steam and part of the electricity required by Area 100-K are generated by the Building 184 powerhouse. Based on total heat input, potential savings in Building 184 powerhouse through use of five of the energy-saving recommendations analyzed equal 236.5 x 10/sup 9/ Btu per year or $288,030 per year. These recommendations are concerned with: heat losses due to unaccounted for and ''blown'' steam; heat loss due to nonreturn of process steam condensate; heat loss due to low boiler efficiency; loss of turbine work due to high condenser pressure; and energy loss due to using electric motors to drive boiler feed pumps.
