Replacing conventional boilers by air to water heat pumps represents a major market opportunity and a contribution to more sustainable heating approaches. However, such retrofit situation impose tough technical requirements which must be met in order to de ...
In this report different air-water heat pump cycles under the operating conditions of the retrofit market and in the low heating power range are examined. The already existing heat pump models show excessive power and efficiency loss at very low ambient te ...
In Switzerland like in many countries, many of the populated areas are located close to lakes or rivers, offering a large potential for the use of heat pumps. Although district heating is an obvious solution, adapting the delivery temperature to the most e ...
Although heat pump based district heating is often an obvious solution, adapting the delivery temperature to the most exigent users is detrimental to overall system performance. This pitfall can be avoided with a centralized plant of heat pumps, cogenerati ...
A design methodology allowing engineers to consider simultaneously and from the earliest phases of design some of the key factors of sustainable development (pollution, life cycle data) has been developed and successfully demonstrated on two examples of in ...
Intube evaporation tests for R-407C and R-407C/oil are reported for a plain copper tube. The tests were run at a nominal inlet pressure of 6.45 bar (93.5 psia) at mass velocities of 100, 200 and 300 kg/m2s (73581, 147162 and 220743 lb/h ft2) over nearly th ...
A complex heating and cogeneration plant including two 3.9 MWth ammonia heat pumps and two 3 MWel gas turbines with heat recovery boilers and three storage tanks of 66 GJ has been in operation since 1986. The heating surface is actually about 280’000 m2 an ...
The substitution of CFC refrigerants in refrigeration systems, heat pumps and organic Rankine cycles for heat recovery, requires good methods for predicting heat transfer of substitute fluids. The measurements in the LENI test facility (concentric tubes wi ...
Although heat pump based district heating is often an obvious solution, adapting the delivery temperature to the most exigent users is detrimental to overall system performance. This pitfall can be avoided with a centralized plant of heat pumps, cogenerati ...
A summary of a comprehensive experimental study on flow boiling heat transfer is presented for five refrigerants (R134a, R123, R402A, R404A and R502) evaporating inside plain horizontal, copper tube test sections. The test data were obtained for both 12.00 ...
