The current paper presents new operational maps for several different multi-microchannel evaporators, with and without any inlet restrictions (micro-orifices), for the two-phase flow of refrigerants R245fa, R236fa, and R1234ze(E). The test fluids flowed in ...
A new type of district energy network capable of providing simultaneously heating and cooling is being investigated. It is based on the use of CO2 as a heat transfer fluid by taking advantage of the latent heat of vaporization, to store and transfer heat a ...
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 ...
Two-phase flow boiling of R245fa, R236fa, and R1234ze(E) in 100 × 100 μm2 parallel microchannels for cooling of future 3D-ICs has been investigated. Significant flow instabilities, back flow, and non-uniform flow distribution among the channels were observ ...
A new district energy network has been developed by using CO2 as a heat transfer fluid. Only two pipes are required by the network, thus allowing the recovery of waste heat from the cooling users to be valorized by the heating users. Understanding and pred ...
Nowadays, one of the main alternatives for a more rational use of energy in heating applications is the heat pumping technologies. The market is dominated by two kinds of heat pump systems: the electrically driven vapor compression heat pumps (EHP), which ...
This report presents a study of an enthalpy and exergy analysis in the framework of a district scale energy balance. Energy demand (heating, cooling and lighting) for buildings represents more than 30 % of the total worlds energy use. Main efforts have been ...
In the framework of the GEOTHERM II, a joint effort of geoscience, engineering and social-science of academic and public partners, the integration of geothermal energy in urban systems is evaluated. A superstructure was defined for the case study of the ci ...
District energy systems can potentially decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services, thanks to the implementation of polygeneration energy conversion technologies, connected to buildings over a network. To transfer the energy from centralized tech ...
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 ...
