Efficient consumption of energy and material resources, including water, is the primary focus for process industries to reduce their environmental impact. The Conference of Parties in Paris (COP21) highlighted the prominent role of industrial energy effici ...
Electrically Driven Heat Pumps (EDHPs) have been identified as a key technology to reduce the energy consumption in the domestic space heating sector. However, since EDHPs require electrical power, they face issues related to network overload at peak-time, ...
Among the options for industrial waste heat recovery and reuse which are currently discussed, heat pumping receives far less attention than other technologies (e.g. organic rankine cycles). This, in particular, can be linked to a lack of comprehensive meth ...
Emerging energy-efficient, oil-free radial centrifugal compressors seem promising for small to mid-capacity air conditioning and refrigeration applications. Compressor design must balance trade-offs among impeller diameter, bearing type, and refrigerant se ...
Plate heat exchangers are widely adopted in many industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, heat transfer processes, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. They provide higher heat transfer performance, compactness ...
The growing trend of the cruise ship industry, together with increasing concerns over its impact on the environment, makes these ships a much relevant target for efforts toward increasing ship energy efficiency, thus ultimately reducing fuel consumption an ...
The current European energy regulation, aligned with the European Union energy strategy and targets for the next decade, requires large industrial companies to regularly assess their energy performance and implement energy efficiency improvement measures. ...
