Intube flow boiling experiments for refrigerant R-134a mixed with a lubricating oil are reported for a plain, horizontal tube. The tests were run at a nominal inlet pressure of 3.4 bar over a wide range of vapor qualities at mass velocities of 100, 200, an ...
Intube flow boiling experiments for refrigerant R-134a mixed with a lubricating oil are reported. The tests were run at a nominal inlet pressure of 3.4 bar over a wide range of vapor qualities at mass velocities of 100, 200 and 300 kg/m2s (73500, 147000 an ...
Valorisation of resources with the cogeneration of electricity and heat from the incineration of wastes is an important issue in modern societies. Present decision models aiming with minimizing the total costs associated with the optimum choice of configur ...
Experimental test results for flow boiling of pure ammonia inside horizontal tubes were obtained for a plain tube and a microfin tube. Tests were run at a nominal saturation temperature of 4°C, mass velocities from 20-140 kg/m2s, vapor qualities from 1-99% ...
In Switzerland like in many countries, many of the populated areas are located close to lakes or rivers, offering a large potential for the use of heat pumps. Although district heating is an obvious solution, adapting the delivery temperature to the most e ...
Two-phase flow pattern data have been obtained experimentally for R-407C flowing inside 12 mm bore sight glasses, which were located at the outlets of 3 m long, plain bore copper tube heat transfer test sections. The tests covered nominal mass velocities o ...
In the context of resource conservation, incineration of domestic wastes is a technique allowing an interesting potential in energy valorization. However, because of the variability (annual, monthly) in quality and quantity of raw material, one of the char ...
A complex heating and cogeneration plant including two 3.9 MWth ammonia heat pumps and two 3 MWel gas turbines with heat recovery boilers and three strage tanks has been in operation since 1986. This paper is a result of an expreimental evaluation during t ...
Replacing conventional boilers by air to water heat pumps represents a major market opportunity and a contribution to more sustainable heating approaches. However, such retrofit situation impose tough technical requirements which must be met in order to de ...
A complex heating and cogeneration plant including two 3.9 MWth ammonia heat pumps and two 3 MWel gas turbines with heat recovery boilers and three storage tanks of 66 GJ has been in operation since 1986. The heating surface is actually about 280’000 m2 an ...
