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 ...
EPFL2022EPFL's District Heating Heat Pump - Performance Analysis for DIfferent Working Fluids
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 ...
2021Bottom-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 ...
Elsevier2019Energetics 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- ...
2019Mitigation of tip leakage induced phenomena in a low Reynolds number centrifugal compressor via blade loading distribution
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 ...
EPFL2019General Superstructure Synthesis and Bi-level Solution Strategy for Industrial Heat Pumping
François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Maziar Kermani, Anna Sophia Wallerand
Industrial waste heat is abundant and represents significant energy inefficiency for many processes. With increasing emphasis on improving industrial energy efficiency, heat pump systems (including refrigeration) offer a solution by valorizing low-temperat ...
Elsevier2017Integration of CO2 networks and Power to Gas for emerging energy autonomous cities in Europe
François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Raluca-Ancuta Suciu
CO2 is used more and more as a refrigerant in the commercial and food retail industries and a majority of experts believe that its share in the field of residential heating, commercial refrigeration and mobile air conditioning across Europe will be higher ...
2017An experimental study on flow boiling pressure drop in multi-microchannel evaporators with different refrigerants
John Richard Thome, Houxue Huang
A key parameter in designing two-phase flow systems for the cooling of high heat flux electronics is the pressure drop in microchannel evaporators. As a result, an experimental study was performed to investigate the flow boiling pressure drop of refrigeran ...
Elsevier Science Inc2017High temperature superconductors for fusion at the Swiss Plasma Center
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Davide Uglietti, Rainer Wesche
High temperature superconductors (HTS) may become in future an option for the superconducting magnets of commercial fusion plants. At the Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) the R&D activity toward HTS high current, high field cables suitable for fusion magnets star ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2017Multi-Temperature Heat Pumps - A Literature Review
Reducing primary energy consumption by utilizing heat recovery systems has become increasingly important in industry. In many sectors, heating and cooling is required at different temperature levels at the same time. For this purpose, heat pumps are highly ...
