The Energy Saving Potential of Air Recuperators

In this lesson created by the University for Business and Technology, you can learn about the role that air recuperators can play in driving energy efficiencies and limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

Natural gas-fired process furnaces are widely used in industry, particularly in applications involving metallurgy, heat-treating, glass and ceramics. Even at today’s attractive rates for natural gas as an industrial fuel, it makes complete sense to recover as much of the waste heat from the furnace as possible to improve energy efficiencies. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the recuperator is the most widely used heat recovery device.

In any furnace operation, heat is lost from the furnace skin, from heated product leaving the treatment area, from conveyer or pusher equipment, from excessive draft and from open doors or other access points. But easily the largest and most concentrated type of heat loss is from the furnace exhaust, some with temperatures of 1000° F or higher.  Fortunately, this is usually also the most practical heat to recover and reuse.

Learn about the structure and functions of the air recuperator and how you can install one in our hands on immersive lesson today.

Electric Power System Immersive Lesson

In this lesson created by the University for Business and Technology, students are introduced to the electric power system in an immersive lesson on EON-XR, from generation of the electricity all the way to the wall plug. Students can learn about that parts and purpose of the various parts of the plug including the different wires and fuse and when and why certain parts are necessary.

Many Electrical Engineering students go through their entire program of study without encountering the elementary practical aspects.Yet when such topics are taught, they lend themselves strongly to learning by doing; it is difficult to understand without a dominant hands-on component in the instruction. EON-XR presents a practical, economical alternative to address the need for wiring practice and discovery

Using EON-XR, students can now learn about the electrical code in a realistic fashion for an enhanced learning experience. This lesson was created by the University for Business and Technology as part of the Self-Directed Learning Initiative on EON-XR led by EON Reality. Through this initiative, students and teachers create their own immersive learning content as part of an active learning process, leading to deeper understanding through doing.

Powertrain Systems Online AR and VR Lesson

In this lesson developed by University for Business and Technology, students are now learning how powertrain systems work up close in AR and VR. This lesson uses a variety of features on EON-XR, including recorded instruction, interactive animation and quizzes. This powertrain systems lesson  in AR and VR modes demonstrates the concept of how ever moving component is critical to the engine’s success. It also illustrates how its sole objective is transforming kinetic energy into propulsion motion and uses EON-XR to bring the otherwise static textbook and images to life. In this example, EON-XR is intended to help students understand the basic functions of the powertrain. But from mathematics to chemistry to biology with some creativity, AR and VR can be incorporated to practically any subject.

Interactive Oil and Gas Training Module

In a series of courses developed for oil and gas training, students can now learn about the critical role of the tree saver in AR and VR. Trees and Well Heads are critical parts of any oil and gas well, serving to regulate the production rates and are very important barriers in case of leaks. The tree saver allows the independent isolation of any operation pressure effects as well as those of the tool activation. Using an interactive model for experiential learning, students can now understand the importance of tree savers and the problems that may affect the integrity of a tree saver and the well head as part of oil and gas operations training.

Understanding Renewable Energy with AR and VR

With initiatives such as the U.S. Department of Energy’s “20% Wind Energy by 2030” outlining an exponential increase of wind energy capacity over the coming years, revolutionary educational reform is needed to meet the demand for education in the field of wind energy. How are we using AR and VR to power training and learning in renewable energy management? As one of the world’s largest man-made structures, wind turbines are getting bigger with technological advancements. Often installed in isolated places, getting up close to learn about one is even more difficult and costly.

Using EON-XR, students and trainees can now get up close to a wind turbine in their own living rooms. Safer, cheaper and completely immersive, AR and VR brings a whole new layer to understanding renewable energy.  This hands on lesson helps students transfer learning concepts to practical application, solving one of the biggest issues of limited training due to cost and accessibility.

AR: Fossil Fuel

EON Reality’s EON-XR Platform enables educational institutions to implement remote classrooms through the use of augmented reality. This module focuses on educational material concerning fossil fuels.

Remote classrooms lesson: A fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing organic molecules originating in ancient photosynthesis that release energy in combustion. Such organisms and their resulting fossil fuels typically have an age of millions of years, and sometimes more than 650 million years. Fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Peat is also sometimes considered a fossil fuel. Commonly used derivatives of fossil fuels include kerosene and propane. Fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon-to-hydrogen ratios (like methane), to liquids (like petroleum), to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. Methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

AR Nuclear Power Plants

The EON Reality EON-XR Platform promotes self guided learning by providing virtual based lessons that can be accessed anywhere.

The Nuclear Power Plant Accidents in Remote Augmented Reality Lesson is a study A nuclear and radiation accident and is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as “an event that has led to significant consequences to people, the environment or the facility”. Examples include lethal effects to individuals, radioactive isotope to the environment, or reactor core melt.”The prime example of a “major nuclear accident” is one in which a reactor core is damaged and significant amounts of radioactive isotopes are released, such as in the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The impact of nuclear accidents has been a topic of debate since the first nuclear reactors were constructed in 1954, and has been a key factor in public concern about nuclear facilities. Technical measures to reduce the risk of accidents or to minimize the amount of radioactivity released to the environment have been adopted, however human error remains, and “there have been many accidents with varying impacts as well near misses and incidents”.As of 2014, there have been more than 100 serious nuclear accidents and incidents from the use of nuclear power. Fifty-seven accidents or severe incidents have occurred since the Chernobyl disaster, and about 60% of all nuclear-related accidents/severe incidents have occurred in the USA. Serious nuclear power plant accidents include the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011), the Chernobyl disaster (1986), the Three Mile Island accident (1979), and the SL-1 accident (1961).Nuclear power accidents can involve loss of life and large monetary costs for remediation work.

Immersive Walk: District Heating and Cooling Plant

As leaders around the world pledge to reduce carbon emissions, one of the most efficient solutions is the development of modern, climate resilient and low carbon district energy systems in cities. Take an immersive walk through a district heating and cooling plant to understand its role in current climate change actions.

District energy is a proven energy solution, with its roots tracing back to heating greenhouses and thermal baths of ancient Rome. Since the launch of the first commercially successful district heating system in the US in the 19th century, many have been implemented in a growing number of cities around the world. They were first used as a response to energy shortages, fuelled by coal and oil-fired central heat generation but progressively converted to combined heat and power, biomass and renewable generation for greater efficiency and sustainability. Today, in some European and particularly Scandinavian cities, almost all required heating is provided through low-carbon district energy networks.

The improved efficiencies and potential for low-carbon fuel sources in district energy systems make them a key part of climate change and renewable energy strategies in many cities. In this lesson, students can learn about the key elements of a district heating and cooling plant and how renewable energies are integrated into the energy network to reduce carbon emissions.
