This paper presents a study of a residential (about 20kW) ORC-ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) thermally driven heat pump. The system works with three different temperature levels similar to absorption heat pumps. The proposed concept is a hermetic system using ...
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 ...
The pinch analysis method is a useful tool for the energy integration of industrial processes (structuring and simplification using simple guidelines). The pinch analysis method, extended to include exergy factors, falls within the framework of a global mu ...
PINCHLENI is a software for energy integration of industrial processes based on Pinch Analysis. The software in version 2.0 allows: - the visualisation of the composite curves and the grand composite curve - the choice of the optimal pinch based on economi ...
Exergy concept combined with pinch based approach are used for studying the optimal integration of energy conversion systems. The analysis first considers the representation of the hot and cold composite curves of the process and defines the energy and the ...
The aim of this work was to operate the steam reforming of methanol and the total oxidation of methanol in a microstructured two-passage reactor. The steam reforming enables the production of hydrogen at relatively low temperatures (250 °C) with only a sma ...

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 ...
The energy integration of industrial processes is becoming increasingly more effective thanks to new methodological developments such as pinch technology. This paper aims at extending the number of factors considered in pinch analysis toward a life-cycle o ...
This thesis deals with the combined utilisation of a reaction calorimeter, the RC1® commercialised by Mettler Toledo and equipped with a 2 L glass reactor, and the heat transfer dynamics modelling of industrial reactors. By doing so, the temperature evolut ...
