The majority of cooling systems are based upon vapor-compression refrigeration technology. Its principle has been unchanged for more than a century. Miniaturization and competitiveness have been gained, but there’s still a need of alternative technologies, ...
This study deals with a type of thermally driven heat pumps that consists of a reverse Rankine heat pump cycle, the compressor of which is driven by the turbine of a supercritical Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The application is residential heating (domesti ...
Throughout the years LENI-EPFL spent a significant part of its research activities on heat pumps be it for industrial heat recovery or for domestic or district heating and cooling. Methodological contributions include the improvement of the formulation of ...
An urban energy system model processing GIS data, which is called EnerGIS, has been developed at the IPESE group. In order to both reuse this model for further applications and to develop new concepts, the focus of this project lies on the refinement of th ...
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 ...
This semester project follows a previous project at LENI-EPFL ad aims at finding the best optimization approach in terms of heat pump integration in industrial processes. The multi-objective optimization method chosen seeks the minimum of both operating an ...
This paper presents the experimental investigation of a concept of Thermally Driven Heat Pump (TDHP), based on the coupling of a vapor compression heat pump cycle and an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The studied concept uses a single stage centrifugal compr ...
In conventional refrigeration the use of the T S diagram to determine thermodynamic cycle performance is a well accepted tool. This method is based on a single state description of the gaseous refrigerant during its cycling. Devices filled with a magnetoca ...
Currently, the different pollutant emissions caused by the use of fossil energies are an increasingly important concern and numerous studies aim at developing technological solutions allowing the progressive replacement of the fossil energies by more susta ...
