Aquarium in Alaska equipped with the latest energy technology
Thousands of people are now visiting located in the Alaska Sea Life Center in Seward, to look at rare species of sea lions and kamenushek. But, in addition to being there so amazing marine life, the center is also surprised by the new system of energy supply that operates on the heat-based, derived from the ocean waters in the Gulf of Resurrection - the staff of a massive aquarium said that now the center does not use the energy produced on the basis of fossil fuels, which should significantly reduce the emission of harmful waste and save money. Thus, 98% of the aquarium requirements are satisfied self-sufficiency is now exclusively thanks to the transformed energy from ocean waters.
This system of heat exchange in the Sea Life Center saves money management, reducing the level of emissions of toxic chemical substances in the atmosphere and promoting scientific progress in relation to the study of rare species of marine animals and plants. After all, this center is not only a kind of aquarium for visitors, but also includes a network of laboratories specializing in the study of marine fauna.
As the coordinator of the research projects of the center, Darryl Shaefermeyer, the use of heat generated from the ocean waters, will significantly reduce the level of maintenance costs of both the aquarium and research laboratories. "Already in the next 13 years we will be able to fully cover the costs for the conversion of the system, because we will save about 48 thousand dollars a year on electricity - about 4 thousand dollars a month" - says Darryl. It is worth noting that this revolutionary system is used in conjunction with previously installed in 2012, sea water pumping system in the aquariums.
The first prototype was developed by Andy Baker, working in a consulting firm "Anchorage" - it is used for equipment owned by "Maekawa" the Japanese firm. In the near future there will be a significant expansion of the functionality of the original prototype.
