Flow Boiling of Carbon Dioxide at Different Channel Orientations for the Thermal Management of Future Detector Technologies at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN

The global warming potential (GWP) of working fluids in thermodynamic cycles and their environmental impact have been gaining considerable attention within the recent years. The global objectives on climate protection are becoming increasingly ambitious, w ...

EPFL's District Heating Heat Pump - Performance Analysis for DIfferent Working Fluids

Sylvain Clément

The present case study is multi-criteria performance analysis of EPFL’s heat pump for different working fluids. The heat pump is based on a 2-stage vapour compression cycle which is modelled using the software Belsim VALI for 7 low-GWP refrigerants. The si ...

Seasonal hysteresis of surface urban heat islands

Gabriele Manoli, Gabriel George Katul

Temporal dynamics of urban warming have been extensively studied at the diurnal scale, but the impact of background climate on the observed seasonality of surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) remains largely unexplored. On seasonal time scales, the intensity ...

Bottom-up method for potential estimation of energy saving measures

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Anna Sophia Wallerand

Technology and energy saving potentials in the industrial sector are key data that policy-makers rely on to drive decision-making. A literature review reveals a distinct discrepancy between general potential estimation and detailed design studies. The form ...

Energetics of Radiatively Heated Ice-Covered Lakes

Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Kraig Bates Winters

We derive the mechanical energy budget for shallow, ice-covered lakes energized by penetrative solar radiation. Radiation increases the available and background components of the potential energy at different rates. Available potential energy drives under- ...

Water-energy nexus approach to compare performance of evaporative and vapor-compression cooling systems

Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari, Nasim Soori

Evaporative cooling systems consume high water, but low electricity for their operation. On the other hand, vapor compression systems consume no water, but high electricity. Water and energy systems are interconnected at different levels. Therefore, water ...

Experimental Performance of Completely Passive Single and Recirculating Loop Thermosyphon Cooling Systems using Low GWP R1234ze and R1234yf

John Richard Thome

This paper proposes a novel concept for a loop thermosyphon cooling system, designed for the transistor module of a transformer. The thermosyphon uses a free convection cooled condenser, making the system completely passive, i.e. no energy consumption is n ...

Mitigation of tip leakage induced phenomena in a low Reynolds number centrifugal compressor via blade loading distribution

Markus Diehl

Reduced-scale refrigeration compressors supported on gas-lubricated bearings have been identified as a key technology for domestic heat pump applications, in order to improve both the system efficiency and the reliability. Unfortunately, reduced-scale mach ...

High temperature heat pump using HFO and HCFO refrigerants – System design, simulation, and first experimental results

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

High temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) with heat sink temperatures in the range of 100 to 160°C are expected to become increasingly commercialized in the coming years. Major applications have been identified, particularly in the food, paper, metal and chemica ...

Integration of solar energy with industrial processes

Anna Sophia Wallerand

Solar energy offers a great potential for integration with industrial processes, which conventionally rely on fossil fuels to provide energy. The seasonal, daily, and regional dependence of solar energy alongside the scarcity of space or financial resource ...
