Dual Fuel
Dual fuel refers to systems or engines that use two different types of fuel to operate. Here are some common applications:
Dual Fuel Engines: These engines can run on a combination of two fuels, typically diesel and natural gas. The diesel fuel acts as the ignition source, while the natural gas provides the bulk of the energy 1 2. This setup can improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
Dual Fuel Heating Systems: These systems combine an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump is used for heating and cooling during milder weather, while the gas furnace takes over during extremely cold conditions 3. This hybrid approach maximizes energy efficiency and comfort throughout the year.
Dual fuel systems offer flexibility, cost savings, and environmental benefits by optimizing the use of different fuel sources based on availability and efficiency 2.
Aberdeenshire(Scots:Aiberdeenshire;Scottish Gaelic:Siorrachd Obar Dheathain) is one of the 32council areas of Scotland.
It takes its name from thehistoric countyofAberdeenshire, which had substantially different boundaries. The Aberdeenshire Council area includes all of the areas of the historic counties of Aberdeenshire andKincardineshireexcept the area making upAberdeen CityCouncil area, as well as part ofBanffshire. The historic county boundaries are still officially used for a few purposes, namely land registration andlieutenancy.[3]
Aberdeenshire Councilis headquartered atWoodhill HouseinAberdeen, making it the only Scottish council whose headquarters are located outside its jurisdiction. Aberdeen itself forms a different council area (Aberdeen City). Aberdeenshire borders ontoAngusandPerth and Kinrossto the south,HighlandandMorayto the west andAberdeen Cityto the east.
Traditionally, it has depended economically on the primary sector (agriculture, fishing, and forestry) and related processing industries. Over the last 40 years, the development of the oil and gas industry and associated service sector has broadened Aberdeenshire's economic base, and contributed to a rapid population growth of some 50% since 1975.[4]Its land represents 8% of Scotland's overall territory. It covers an area of 6,313 square kilometres (2,437 sq mi).[5][6]
