A new type of district energy network capable of providing simultaneously heating and cooling is being investigated. It is based on the use of CO2 as a heat transfer fluid by taking advantage of the latent heat of vaporization, to store and transfer heat across the network. The goal of the present study is to determine the performance of a CO2 network when applied to a real urban area. It focus...

This paper is published by Euroheat & Power. Our aim is to inform about district heating and cooling as efficient and environmentally benign energy solutions that make use of resources that otherwise would be wasted, delivering reliable and comfortable heating and cooling in return.

A predictive functional control (PFC) technique is applied to the temperature control of a pilot-plant batch reactor equipped with a mono-fluid heating/cooling system. A cascade control structure has been implemented according to the process sub-units reactor and heating/cooling system. H p c m d

This paper presents an engineering application of optimization method for energy conservation in condenser water loop operation in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems. Based on the analysis of component model characteristics and interactions within the cooling tower and between towers and chillers, an objective function, which minimizes the operating costs through optimal s...

The mau requirements of arrcraft static tests are stated. The extent and effects of kinetx heating are described, and various methods of simulating and controlL.ng heatug In the laboratory are discussed. The further problem of kin&x cooling leads to the technique of heating and cooling by convection where the heating rate 1s low. Xecsurenents and test observations are d~s-cussed with reference ...

A moving metallic plate subject to heating and cooling boundary conditions is considered in this work. The plate is heated by an imposed heat  ux, and cooled down by an array of impinging jets through convection and radiation. The objective of the present work is determination of operating conditions for controlling the temperature distribution at the end of both heating and cooling sections. ...

ABSTRACT A novel concept of the Cold-Electron Bolometer (CEB) with strong electrothermal feedback has been proposed. The concept is based on direct electron cooling of the absorber that serves as negative electrothermal feedback for incoming signal. This feedback is analogous to TES (transition-edge sensor) but additional dc heating is replaced by deep electron cooling to minimum temperature. I...

This paper discusses the theory and experiments of heating and air cooling of battery modules. The heating mechanisms are shown first. Then, cooling of a single battery is examined. Optimum air flow speed is discussed. © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd. Peer-review under responsibility of the Scientific Committee of IICST 2014.

The airconditioning systems of buildings have been diversified in recent years, and the complexity of the system has been increased. At the same time, stability in the system and the low-running cost are demanded. To solve these problems, various researches have been done. The development of the energy load prediction systems and the faults detection and diagnosis systems have received greater ...
