Project Background<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Koach Grow House is an innovative greenhouse project located in the Inland Empire region of California, with a focus on cultivating medicinal marijuana. Serving as its initial phase, this greenhouse complex has plans to expand through the incorporation of three additional phases.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project has been strategically positioned in California, a state that has experienced a heightened interest in maglev technology due to the significant peak-hour electricity rates charged by local utility companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Project Description<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

The Koach Grow House poses a continuous 24\/7 challenge for greenhouse cooling, necessitating innovative energy solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

This facility has implemented a 1 MW CHP system, which stands as a crucial component for the daily operation and success of the plant. The CHP system functions as the primary energy source and currently generates over 100% of the facility\u2019s electricity requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

The core of the project revolves around the utilization of a microturbine for on-site electricity generation. Concurrently, an absorption chiller will be seamlessly incorporated to produce chilled water during daytime hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remarkably, during off-peak nighttime hours when utility electricity costs are merely 6 cents\/kWh, the microturbine operation is suspended, enabling BROAD Maglev chiller to smoothly take over. This dynamic approach ensures optimal operational costs and highlights the flexibility and adaptability of the cooling system.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Project Value<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Koach Grow House employs BROAD maglev chiller during off-peak hours, conserving energy by not operating the absorption chiller during this period. As a result, the absorption chiller operates for a maximum of 4380 hours and saves 6342 MMBTU of fuel by reducing its use during off-peak hours. The system achieves a carbon dioxide reduction of 822 tons*, which is comparable to removing 163 cars from the road each year*, or equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions generated by 87 homes*<\/span><\/p>\n

* Results are based on the US EPA CHP Energy and Emissions Savings Calculator, which may vary from the actual operation data.<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>

Project Highlight<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

The Koach Grow House project signifies a noteworthy achievement for BROAD as it introduces its maglev units to the US market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in California, where the appeal of maglev technology has risen due to the steep electricity rates during peak hours established by local utility companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond its role as a marketing hub for Maglev technology in California, it is anticipated to accelerate the adoption of this technology nationwide. This pioneering initiative harmonizes seamlessly with the burgeoning trend toward energy-efficient and cost-effective cooling solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
