Réseau de distribution de chaleur et de froid utilisant le CO2 comme fluide caloporteur

Luc Girardin, Jessen Page, Alberto Mian, Samuel Henchoz, Patrick Chatelan, Cédric Dorsaz

Anergy networks with water circulation are an efficient solution for the supply of urban heating services, but require a bulky and expensive infrastructure with higher energy consumption. Replacing water with CO2 enables a more compact solution with lower ...

Key energy and technological aspects of three innovative concepts of District energy networks

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Samuel Henchoz

In urban areas, the use of thermal energy services is intensive and relatively heterogeneous by their nature, spatial distribution and temperature level required. In this study three concepts of district energy networks that could provide these services ve ...

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of Two-stage Compression Heat Pumps with Flash Economizer

Daniel Favrat, Jean-Baptiste Carré, Samuel Henchoz, Simon Gailledrat

Multistage heat pumps are one of the most efficient technologies for delivering heat at temperatures below 100°C, Thanks to their fairly high exergy efficiency. In the recent years the development of radial compressors mounted on gas bearings have unlock t ...

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of Two-phase Evaporators and Condensers in the context of a CO2 Based District Energy Network

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Samuel Henchoz

A new type of district energy network has recently been proposed that is based on the use of CO2 as a heat transfer fluid. It uses the latent heat of vaporization, instead of sensible heat, to store and transfer heat. Previous studies have focused on demon ...
