Distributed power generation and cogeneration is an attractive way toward a more rational conversion of fuel and biofuel. The fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid cycles are emerging as the most promising candidates to achieve distributed generation with comparabl ...
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 ...
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 ...
The concept studied in this work is a low power ORC-ORC heat pump system (providing about 20 kW heat at the condenser) and that is composed of an ORC power cycle driving a reversed ORC heat pump cycle, both cycles using the same fluid. The centrifugal comp ...
Modern pump-turbines are subject to frequent switching between the pumping and generating modes with extended operation under off-design conditions. Depending on the specific speed of the pump-turbine, the discharge-speed as well as torque-speed generating ...
The research scope of GTT includes efforts to increase reliability, efficiency and power output of gas turbines and aero engines. The most important areas of research are the following: fluid-structure interaction at forced response and flutter for turbine ...
This report accounts for making the heat transfer model in co-rotating scroll compressor. This mathematical model was proposed according to the working principle of the compressor, its geometry and basic thermodynamics’ laws. Previous papers and reports, r ...
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 ...
A new finned reciprocating air compressor model is developed recently for compressed air energy storage. First the mechanism of operation of the new compressor is described. The complexity of the design encouraged us to develop the model based on the bond ...
The development of an efficient isothermal turbine and compressor is essential for the realization of a small-scale compressed air energy storage (CAES). This article presents the theoretical development of an oil-free co-rotating scroll air compressor and ...
