Executive Summary R4V Ventures LLC ( R4V ) is using research, development, innovative technologies and the earth s abundant natural and renewable resources to provide cooling to commercial and industrial buildings throughout the world. R4V s first technology to be commercialized is the Multistage Evaporative Cooling System focused on reducing the energy costs associated with pre-cooling inlet air on Natural Gas Turbines generating electricity (known in the industry as Turbine Inlet Cooling or TIC) and pre-cooling inlet air on Compressed Air Systems worldwide. R4V, through patent pending MECS solution, is providing significant cooling energy cost savings of 40 to 80% when compared to traditional mechanical cooling systems and technologies which also correspondingly significantly reduces green house gas (GHG) emissions. The patented system is the Multistage Evaporative Cooling System (MECS) formally titled Advanced Multi-Purpose, Multi-stage Evaporative Cold Water/Cold Air Generating and Supply System. The US Patent Number 8,899,061 published on December 2 2014. The primary benefit of TIC is that it allows the plant owners to prevent loss of Combustion Turbine (CT) output, compared to the rated capacity, when ambient temperature rises above 59 F or the plant is located in a warm/hot climate region. TIC can even allow plant owners to increase the CT output above the rated capacity by cooling the inlet air to below 59 F. In large industrial air compressors, the air entering the air compressor should be as cool as possible for maximum energy efficiency. This is due to cold air being denser than warm air making it easier to compress thereby using less mechanical energy. The colder the incoming air, the more air molecules there are, resulting in more air being compressed for each revolution of the air compressor. The MECS can also be configured as an Intercooler and Aftercooler. By employing the MECS to pre-cool the inlet air to the compressor would lessen the requirements for intercooling and aftercooling. R4 Ventures LLC has evaluated the cooled water and cooled air temperature performance of our compressor-less refrigerant-less cooling system technologies in this White Paper to provide engineering analysis of what temperatures can be attained in four major markets in the United States. The applications evaluated are: Inlet Air Cooling for Nat Gas Turbines/CHP Systems and Inlet Air Cooling, Inlet Air Cooling/Inter-Cooling/After-Cooling on Compressed Air Systems MECS Process Cooling Water for Industrial & Food Processing Plants - MECS The Multistage Evaporative Cooling System (MECS) (Commercial/Industrial Buildings, Turbine Inlet Air Cooling, Inlet Air Cooling/Inter-Cooling/After-Cooling on Compressed Air Systems and Process Cooling Water for Industrial & Food Processing Markets) for four (4) major cities in the United States, Phoenix, AZ; Newark (Wilmington), DE; Houston, TX; and San Jose, CA. The patent pending technology including the Multistage Evaporative Cooling System (MECS) generates cold water (and cold supply air for the above described markets). This white paper details the cooled water temperature performance of the MECS and the cooled supply air temperature performance of the MECS for the above described markets based on ASHRAE published Summer Design Conditions of.4% for cooling applications, and the monthly Mean Dry Bulb and Wet Bulb Temperatures for each city s closest airport (Phoenix, Wilmington and Houston) and monthly ASHRAE published Summer Design Conditions of.4% for cooling applications (San Jose). The tables and charts below for each of the cities identified show the temperature performance of the MECS. The MECS tables and charts designed to supply cold air for Turbine/Compressor Inlet Air applications show the temperature performance based on, first, the selected and operational components of the MECS based on achieving the maximum energy efficiency in meeting or approaching the desired inlet air temperatures of 59 F (the temperature in which 100% name plate efficiency can be achieved) in natural gas turbine power generation systems and second, the selected and operational components of the MECS based on achieving the lowest possible inlet air temperature entering the turbine or compressor. Please Note: Although we only selected performance temperatures and selected stages in the Multistage Evaporative Cooling System that were closest to the desired ISO data plate temperature of 59 F equating to 100% efficiency of the Combustion Turbine, the MECS is capable of producing much lower air temperatures by utilizing more or all stages of the MECS. Using lower than 59 F as the desired inlet air temperature, efficiencies of > 100% are possible. In locations and months of elevated or high dew point temperatures in the summer months and the need to generate <= 59 F Turbine Inlet Air is desired, the MECS will incorporate a low power consumption dehumidification module.

Turbine Inlet Cooling Information on Turbine Inlet Cooling or TIC is sourced from and can be found on the Turbine Inlet Cooling Association website http://www.turbineinletcooling.org/index.html What is TIC? TIC is cooling of the air before it enters the compressor that supplies high-pressure air to the combustion chamber from which hot air at high pressure enters the combustion turbine. TIC is also called by many other names, including combustion turbine inlet air cooling (CTIAC), turbine inlet air cooling (TIAC), combustion turbine air cooling (CTAC), and gas turbine inlet air cooling (GTIAC). Why Cool Turbine Inlet Air? The primary reason TIC is used is to enhance the power output of combustion turbines (CTs) when ambient air temperature is above 59 F. The rated capacities of all CTs are based on the standard ambient conditions of 59 F, 14.7 psia at sea level selected by the International Standards Organization (ISO). One of the common and unattractive characteristics of all CTs is that their power output decreases as the inlet air temperature increases as shown in Figure 1. It shows the effects of inlet air temperature on power output for two types of CTs: Aeroderivative and Industrial/Frame. The data in Figure 1 are typical for the two turbine types for discussion purposes. The actual characteristics of each CT could be different and depend on its actual design. The data in Figure 1 shows that for a typical aeroderivative CT, as inlet air temperature increases from 59 F to 100 F on a hot summer day (in Las Vegas, for example), its power output decreases to about 73 percent of its rated capacity. This could lead to power producers losing opportunity to sell more power just when the increase in ambient temperature increases power demand for operating air conditioners. By cooling the inlet air from 100 F to 59 F, we could prevent the loss of 27 percent of the rated generation capacity. In fact, if we cool the inlet air to about 42 F, we could enhance the power generation capacity of the CT to 110 percent of the rated capacity. Therefore, if we cool the inlet air from 100 F to 42 F, we could increase power output of an aeroderivative CT from 73 percent to 110 percent of the rated capacity or boost the output capacity by about 50 percent of the capacity at 100 F. The primary reason many power plants using CT cool the inlet air is to prevent loss of power output or even increase power output above the rated capacity when the ambient temperature is above 59 F. What are the Benefits of TIC? The primary benefit of TIC is that it allows the plant owners to prevent loss of CT output, compared to the rated capacity, when ambient temperature rises above 59 F or the plant is located in a warm/hot climate region. As discussed in the earlier section, TIC can even allow plant owners to increase the CT output above the rated capacity by cooling the inlet air to below 59 F. Page 4

Figure 1. Effect of Inlet Air Temperature on Combustion Turbine Power Output Figure 2. Effect of Ambient Temperature on Combustion Turbine Heat Rate The secondary benefit of TIC is that it also prevents decrease in fuel efficiency of the CT due to increase in ambient temperature above 59 F. Figure 2 shows the effect of inlet air temperature on heat rate (fuel require per unit of electric energy) for the two types of CTs discussed in the earlier section. It shows that for an aeroderivative, CT increase in inlet air temperature from 59 F to 100 F increases heat rate (and thus, decreases fuel efficiency) by 4 percent (from 100 percent at 59 F to 104 per cent at 100 F) and that cooling the inlet air from 59 F to 42 F reduces the heat rate (increases fuel efficiency) Page 5

by about 2 percent (from 100 percent to about 98 percent). The other benefits of TIC include increased steam production in cogeneration plants, and increased power output of steam turbines in combined cycle systems. In summary, there are many benefits of TIC when the ambient temperature is above 59 F: Increased output of CT Reduced capital cost for the enhanced power capacity Increased fuel efficiency Increased steam production in cogeneration plants Increased power output of steam turbine in combined cycle plants How does TIC help increase CT output? Power output of a CT is directly proportional to and limited by the mass flow rate of compressed air available to it from the air compressor that provides high-pressure air to the combustion chamber of the CT system. An air compressor has a fixed capacity for handling a volumetric flow rate of air. Even though the volumetric capacity of a compressor is fixed, the mass flow rate of air it delivers to the CT changes with changes in ambient air temperature. This mass flow rate of air decreases with increase in ambient temperature because the air density decreases when air temperature increases. Therefore, the power output of a combustion turbine decreases below its rated capacity at the ISO conditions (59 F, 14.7 psia at sea level) with increases in ambient temperature above 59 F. TIC allows increase in air density by lowering the temperature and thus, helps increase mass flow rate of air to the CT and results in increased output of the CT. Page 6 Compressed Air Systems What is the effect of Air Intake on Compressor performance? The effect of intake air on compressor performance should not be underestimated. Intake air that is contaminated or hot can impair compressor performance and result in excess energy and maintenance costs. If moisture, dust, or other contaminants are present in the intake air, such contaminants can build up on the internal components of the compressor, such as valves, impellers, rotors, and vanes. Such build-up can cause premature wear and reduce compressor capacity. When inlet air is cooler, it is also denser. As a result, mass flow and pressure capability increase with decreasing intake air temperatures, particularly in centrifugal compressors. This mass flow increase effect is less pronounced for lubricant-injected, rotary-screw compressors because the incoming air mixes with the higher temperature lubricant. Conversely, as the temperature of intake air increases, the air density decreases and mass flow and pressure capability decrease. The resulting reduction in capacity is often addressed by operating additional compressors, thus increasing energy consumption. Rules of thumb in designing Compressed Air Systems. 1. Air compressors normally deliver 4 to 5 CFM per horsepower at 100 psig discharge Pressure 2. Power cost for 1 horsepower operating constantly for one year at 10 cents per kwh is about $750 per year 3. Every 7 F rise in temperature of intake air will result in 1% rise in energy consumption. 4. It takes 7 to 8 hp of electricity to produce 1 hp worth of air force 5. Size air receivers for about 1 gallon of capacity for each CFM of compressor capacity 6. Compressor discharge temperatures are a key indicator of compression efficiency. Uncooled compressed air is hot, as much as 250 to 350 deg F! 7. Typical discharge temperature values before aftercooling are: Screw (175 F), Single Stage Reciprocating (350 F), Two Stage reciprocating (250 F) 8. Most water-cooled after coolers will require about 3 GPM per 100 CFM of compressed air at Discharge Air Temperature at 100 psig and will produce about 20 gallons of condensate per day. 9. Locate filters and a dryer in the airline before any pressure-reducing valve (i.e., at the highest pressure) and after air is cooled to 100 F or less (the lowest temperature). 10. Many tools require more CFM at 90 PSI than what is physically possible to get from the power available through a 120 VAC outlet. Beware, that the CFM figure given as the required air power on many tools (e.g., air chisels/hammers, sandblasters) is for an absurdly low duty cycle. You just can't run these constantly on anything but a monster compressor, but the manufacturer still wants you to believe you can, so you will buy the tool. 11. Depending on the size of the system, compressed air costs about 25 to 42 cents per thousand cubic feet of free air ingested by the compressor (including operating and maintenance costs). 12. A 50 horsepower compressor rejects approximately 126,000 BTU per hour for heat recovery.

13. The water vapor content at ~100 F of saturated compressed air is about two gallons per hour for each 100 CFM of compressor capacity. 14. Every ~20 F temperature drop in saturated compressed air at constant pressure, 50% of the water vapor condenses to liquid or at 100 psig every ~20 F increase in saturated air temperature doubles the amount of moisture in the air. 15. Every 2-psig change in pressure equals 1% change in horsepower. 16. Most air motors require 30 CFM at 90 psig per horsepower. 17. For every 10 water gauge pressure lost at the inlet, the compressor performance is reduced by 2%. Intake filters should be regularly cleaned well before dirt causes significant pressure restrictions. 18. A device, which will satisfactorily perform its function with 50 psig of air pressure, uses approximately 75% more compressed air when it is operated with compressed air at 100 psig. 19. As a general rule, for every 100 kpa reduction in operating pressure results in about 8% energy and cost savings. Page 7 Summary of Temperature Performance of R4 Ventures LLC s New Cooling Technologies Inlet Air Cooling for Nat Gas Turbines/CHP Systems and Inlet Air on Compressed Air Systems MECS Brief Introduction to Turbine Inlet Cooling (TIC) - The primary reason TIC is used to enhance the power output of combustion turbines (CTs) when ambient air dry bulb temperature if above 59 F. The rated capacities of all CTs are based on the standard ambient conditions of 59 F, 14.7 psia at sea level selected by the International Standards Organization (ISO). Example: for a typical aero derivative CT, as inlet air temperature increases from 59 F to 100 F on a hot summer day, its power output decreases to about 73 percent of its rated capacity. By cooling the inlet air from 100 F to 59 F, the 27% loss of rated generation capacity can be avoided. The engineering analysis provided in this White Paper shows the lowest Inlet Air Temperature available without dehumidification. An additional 5 F to 15 F temperature reduction can be obtained by adding dehumidification to the MU AHU. 1. Phoenix AZ a.

A Utility Patent Application for the Multistage Evaporative Cooling System patent was filed on September 23, 2011. The Inventor has developed new methods and systems that provide evaporative cooling by combining multiple direct and indirect evaporative cooling stages into one multistage evaporative cooling system to achieve cooling media (air or water) temperatures that are much lower than the initial wet bulb temperature of the ambient air. The Inventor has named this cooling system the Multistage Evaporative Cooling System (MECS). This new approach and method of the combined multiple direct and indirect evaporative cooling processes fully complies with all laws of thermodynamics by properly sequencing components and actions to achieve maximum cooling at a minimal energy use. The MECS outperforms conventional refrigeration systems by using at least 40-80% less energy to operate. The MECS s resulting output is cold air, cold water, or both. Page 13

Site elevation, ft.: 1200 Given conditions Preliminary Assumptions: Preliminary assumption - MECS consists of three cooling towers: CT-1, CT-2 and CT-3. An assumed approach temperature for all cooling tower CT-1, CT-2 and CT-3 is 3.0 F. An assumed approach temperature for ambient air pre-cooling coils for the mentioned cooling towers is 1.0 F. An Executive Summary of the Engineering Analysis The Engineering Analysis conducted below is based on the R4 Ventures LLC - Multi-stage Evaporative Cooling System (MECS) operating in Phoenix, AZ. Depending on the ambient conditions, in the majority of cases, the Energy Recovery Unit (ERU) operating alone would be able to satisfy the all cooling needs. In some ambient conditions, Cooling Tower CT-1, Cooling Tower CT-2, and Cooling Tower CT-3 may be operational. The sequence of operations would be CT-1 alone, CT-1 and CT-2, or CT-1, CT-2 and CT-3. All 3 Cooling Towers can be used to provide redundant back up to the Energy Recovery Units (ERU 1A and ERU 1B). This analysis results in a very economical and cost effective inlet air cooling solution providing significant energy savings as compared to traditional mechanical refrigeration systems. Page 18
