Project Overview:
The project goals were to design and manufacture a more efficient and safer hot water supply system that will:
a) Increase the safety of the heater for the protection of employees.
b) Increase the efficiency of the heater to reduce emissions and operation costs.
c) Increase the reliability to reduce operational downtime.
d) Create a product of sufficient simplicity and reliability to capture 100% of the drilling water heater market share
e) Increase the manufacturing capacity of the Yukon.
f) Employ Yukoners in the manufacturing sector.
Having had a successful first season of prototype design and testing the project team has determined an effective way to build these units. Due to the downturn in the mineral exploration and the demand for hot water pumps, the manufacturing of these units has been put on hold. If the demand for mineral exploration increases, the manufacturing of these hot water pumps will be considered.
