Research and Development of Measuring Equipment for Treadmill Exercise Energy Transfer

Abstract:

This study developed a set of equipment that can measure the treadmill exercise energy consumption accurately, and apply the exercise energy consumption to refrigeration and heating devices, thus supplying hot water and chilled water for users. Exercise energy consumption is conventionally measured based on the amount of exercise, but this study used non-electric mode to drive refrigeration and heating devices. According to the measurement results, the heat energy generated by exercise energy is 65 kcal; as compared with the 70 kcal measured by calorie meter, the result is within 10% of error range, thus proving that the proposed measuring method is worth research and development. In addition, without conventional energy sources, 3,000c.c of hot water (45°C) and 1,500c.c of cold water (7°C) could be generated within 20min use of the treadmill. The proposed equipment can measure the exercise energy consumption, and support the refrigeration and heating system to produce free hot water and cold water. This is an environmentally-friendly and innovative multifunctional equipment worthy of further research and development .
