JI318: ECOTHERM SOLUTION

MUHAMMAD IMAN DANISH BIN SAMSUL ADLY SEKOLAH KEBANGSAAN IBRAHIM

Ecotherm Solution, an innovative approach designed to transform waste heat from air conditioners into a valuable energy source, significantly enhancing the thermal efficiency of water heaters. Traditional air conditioners release substantial amounts of heat into the environment, contributing to energy wastage and exacerbating global warming. Simultaneously, water heating remains one of the most energy-intensive household activities, further straining energy resources. By addressing these intertwined challenges, the Ecotherm Solution pioneers a sustainable, dual-purpose system that cools indoor spaces while heating water. At the core of this innovation is a double-tube heat exchanger, strategically positioned between the air conditioner’s compressor and condenser. This exchanger captures the waste heat from the refrigerant, redirecting it to preheat water before it enters the water heater. This process not only reduces electricity consumption by up to 30% but also significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions, demonstrating an impactful solution to global energy inefficiency. The Ecotherm Solution aligns seamlessly with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and Goal 13 (Climate Action). By promoting energy efficiency and reducing resource wastage, this innovation exemplifies responsible environmental stewardship. Moreover, its integration potential with renewable energy systems, such as solar power, highlights its scalability and long-term sustainability. To maximize its impact, this project recommends fostering collaborations with manufacturers for seamless product integration, launching educational campaigns to raise awareness, and exploring additional applications such as space heating and drying systems. The Ecotherm Solution represents a groundbreaking stride toward a greener future, offering an ingenious way to tackle energy challenges while protecting the planet. By transforming waste into opportunity, this innovation not only addresses pressing environmental concerns but also sets a benchmark for future energy solutions.
