Large scale energy storage may play an increasingly important role in the power generation and distribution sector, especially when large shares of renewable energies will have to be integrated into the electrical grid. Up to now pumped-hydro is the only t ...
This study deals with a type of thermally driven heat pumps that consists of a reverse Rankine heat pump cycle, the compressor of which is driven by the turbine of a supercritical Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The application is residential heating (domesti ...
Solar combisystems are solar heating installations providing space heating as well as domestic hot water for the inhabitants of the building. The energy sources are solar energy as well as an auxiliary source, gas or oil typically. This paper describes the ...
A new falling film heat transfer test facility has been built for the measurement of local heat transfer coefficients on a vertical array of horizontal tubes, including flow visualization capabilities, for use with refrigerants. Presently, the facility has ...
District energy systems have the potential to decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services (heating, hot water, cooling and electricity), thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies, connected to a group of b ...
A summary of a comprehensive experimental study on flow boiling heat transfer is presented for five refrigerants (R134a, R123, R402A, R404A and R502) evaporating inside plain horizontal, copper tube test sections. The test data were obtained for both 12.00 ...
Ce document présente la réalisation et les essais d’un générateur de gaz chauds offrant la possibilité de simuler les conditions de sorties d’une pile à combustible SOFC plane. Le document fait également part du design d’un banc d’essais visant à utiliser ...
District energy systems can potentially decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services, thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies connected to buildings over a network. To transfer the energy from these large ...
So far in the Twenty-first century the field of people transportation has had numerous setbacks, of these some are related to air pollution and some to the rarefaction of petroleum sources. Studies have been undertaken within this domain for many years now ...
In this paper the first results of a new method for the configuration of district energy systems are presented. District energy systems are believed to help decreasing the CO2-emissions due to energy services (heating, cooling, electricity and hot water), ...
