Brookhaven Labs & Retrofits
21 June 2010
In an article titled "Fuel Oil and the Green Future" in Fuel Oil News, June 2010, Brookhaven National Laboratory's Tom Butcher commented that, "Simply controlling system losses offers great potential for energy savings in the short term, Butcher said, and the industry has already made aggressive moves to push efficiency levels over 90 percent, he noted. In that vein, retrofitting advanced controls to existing heating systems could yield low-cost reductions in fuel use".
Brookhaven Labs conducted extensive tests on the Fuel Economizer and concluded savings were in excess of 10%.
