Energy piles are an efficient renewable energy source. The advantage of these heat capacity systems is the use of already necessary infrastructure for structural support to extract heat from the ground. In this project a numerical finite element model of t ...
Plate heat exchangers are adopted in many domestic and industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, evaporation or condensation process, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. In the present thesis, an extensive expe ...

Horizontal falling film evaporators have the potential of displacing flooded evaporators as the standard in the refrigeration industry due to compelling advantages, such as smaller refrigerant charge and lower pressure drop. However, there is a need to imp ...
This paper proposes a novel concept for a loop thermosyphon cooling system, designed for the transistor module of a transformer. The thermosyphon uses a free convection cooled condenser, making the system completely passive, i.e. no energy consumption is n ...
A theoretical and numerical model to predict film condensation heat transfer in mini, micro and ultra micro-channels of different internal shapes is presented in this thesis. The model is based on a finite volume formulation of the Navier-Stokes and energy ...
This study is devoted to complex experimental investigation of two-phase flow boiling of R134a refrigerant in a minichannel having a hydraulic diameter of 540 μm at heat fluxes up to 70 kW/m2 and mass fluxes up to 700 kg/(m2 s). Flow regimes, pressure drop ...
This article presents an experimental study of upward flow boiling heat transfer in multiport tubes. Usually, multiport tubes are utilized horizontally in automotive and air-conditioning systems while here there is interest in vertical flow as part of a tw ...
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 ...
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 ...
Transient modeling and regulation of a two-phase on-chip liquid pump cooling cycle is studied. The purpose is to cool down multiple micro-processors in parallel and a set of memories, DC/DC converters in series. The cycle will be incorporated in a blade/dr ...
