HALES WATER TURBINES LTD HAS BEEN ASKED TO CONDUCT PRIMARY RESEARCH INTO THE POTENTIAL OF USING BOTH THE HALES WATER TURBINES AND THE WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP HTA's ( HEAT TRANSFER ARRAYS) TO PROVIDE RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR THE EXCITING REGENERATION PROJECT WHICH COVER MORE THAT FOUR SQUARE MILES OF LEAMINGTON SPA.
AN EARLY VISIT TO SITE BY HWT Ltd DURING THE SUMMER CONFIRMED THAT THE RIVER LEAM, WHICH RUN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE REGENERATION PROJECT HAS MINIMAL WATER FLOWS SO HALES WATER TURBINES WOULD NOT BE OF BENEFIT.
HOWEVER, A CHANNELED LETT ALONGSIDE THE MAIN WEIR ON THE RIVER LEAM HAS A FALL HEIGHT OF APPROX FOUR METRE AND SUFFICIENT FLOW TO OPERATE A BACK PITCH WATERWHEEL TO PROVIDE ELECTRICAL GENERATION , THIS PART OF THE PROJECT HAS BEEN PASSED TO FREEFLOW69 Ltd WHO SPECIALISE IN THESE WATERWHEELS.
ANOTHER PART OF THE CREATIVE QUARTER PROJECT HAS LARGE VIADUCT STRUCTURE SUITABLE FOR SOLAR PV ENERGY COLLECTION, AGAIN HWT Ltd HAS PAST THIS INFORMATION TO SOLAR UK, A COMPANY SPECIALISED IN MANY FORMS OF PV DEPLOYMENT.
HWT LtD HAS ALSO CONTACTED KENSA HEAT PUMP MANUFACTURERS IN CORNWALL, WHO WERE SO HELPFUL TO HWT LTtd IN THE ORIGINAL RIVER THAMES HTA TRIALS, TO HELP THE QC PROJECT WORK THROUGH THE BEST WAYS TO USE THE LEAM RIVER ENERGY SOURCE IN THE MANY LARGE BUILDINGS IN THE PROJECT.
HWT lTD HAS ALSO HIGHLIGHTED TO THE QC PROJECT LEADERS THAT THE GRAND UNION CANAL ALSO BORDERS ALONG ONE AREA AND WITH FURTHER DESIGN DEVELOPMENT IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO EXTEND THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY EXTRACTION FURTHER.
HWT LTD IS AT PRESENT WORKING UP A SURVEY AND DESIGN PROGRAM TO SURVEY WITH DEPTHS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RIVER LEAM WITHIN THE DESIGN AREA AND ALSO WORK THROUGH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS TO DEPLOY /MAINTAIN AND RAPIDLY REMOVE IF REQUIRED THE HTA's IN EXTREM FLOOD CONDITION ETC.
AN EXCITING PROJECT HOPING TO BE STARTED READY FOR THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES TAKING PLACE NEAR BY NEXT YEAR.
