Having accurate and reliable hydronic control which mechanically conserves both natural gas and electricity while utilizing natural solar thermal and chiller heat recoverd energy was the goal. Photovoltaics will be installed at the Monte Bello winery. As the electricalmetering reports are recorded and monitored, and the new Solarix System's reduction in electrical consumption is established over time, a full photovoltaic evaluation will be performed and the appropriate size system will be installed. Wastewater purification for vineyard application BY Peter Annunziato, bioprocessH2O, Portsmouth, RI A representation of the new Ridge Monte Bello heating and cooling system. rate temperature control. When fermentation tanks require heat, by varying the hydronic pump speed through the absorption side of the heat exchanger, we can dial the delivery temperature and GPM with precision and match the wine- maker's thermal requests. For example, Monte Bello winery receives most black grapes at an average of 62º to 64º F. After destemming and sorting of the grapes, and filling the fermentation tank, the tank jacket receives P rocess wastewater generated by the Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello winery during crush and wine production is pumped to a Dontech Industries selfcleaning rotary drum fine screen (see page 18) that removes the solids, stems and particulate matter greater than 0.5 pr actica l win ery & vin eya rd JANUARY 20 14 17
