Pinch analysis is a powerful analysis and design methodology for the integration of thermal processes. Although originally developed for and applied to continuous industrial processes, pinch analysis can be equally beneficial when applied to buildings. In ...
Recent developments make appear new devices for energy storage, such as supercapacitors. Those components are able to store a high energy density. Even if this energy is still lower than the energy batteries can store, thos components can be loaded and/or ...
Functionalized linear dextrins were sepd. on a preparative scale by HPLC on RP-18 phases with water as the eluent. These dextrins were obtained by the transfer of a-cyclodextrin to glucosides by means of a cyclodextrin-glycosyltransferase of Klebsiella pne ...
This paper introduces a methodology for the heat integration of industrial batch processes. Based on Pinch Analysis principles, this methodology resorts to intermediate heat storage to prevent adverse effects on the operating flexibility. A systematic proc ...
In the previous issue of the IEA Heat Pump Centre Newsletter (Vol, 12, No.3, pp. 29-31), an article by these authors described the use of pinch analysis (also known as pinch technology) in a buildings application. This article describes a similar procedure ...
Steam production units (HRSG and HSSG) of ISCCS include several heat exchangers (economizers, evaporator, superheater, reheaters, etc.). The knowledge of the extended composites as a function of the solar input, allows the determination of the most critica ...
