4. 2. Advances in Ventilation Heat Recovery : An assessment of peak loads shaving using renewables

   Author : Behrouz Nourozi; Sasan Sadrizadeh; Adnan Ploskic; Carey Simonson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Peak heat load shaving; renewable energy; ventilation heat recovery; frosting in heat exchangers; Heat transfer; förnybar energi; ventilation värmeåtervinning; frosting i värmeväxlare; värmeöverföring; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : The building sector accounts for approximately 40% of total global energy usage.In residential buildings located in cold climate countries, 30-60% of this energy isused for space heating, 20–30% is lost by discarded residential wastewater, and therest is devoted to ventilation heat loss.

5. 3. Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Single Vertical Channels of Small Diameter

   Author : Claudi Martin Callizo; Björn Palm; Predrag Hrnjak; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microchannel; heat exchanger; heat transfer; flow boiling; flow patterns; onset of nucleate boiling; dryout; critical heat flux; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : Microchannel heat exchangers present many advantages, such as reduced size, high thermal efficiency and low fluid inventory; and are increasingly being used for heat transfer in a wide variety of applications including heat pumps, automotive air conditioners and for cooling of electronics.However, the fundamentals of fluid flow and heat transfer in microscalegeometries are not yet fully understood.

6. 4. Sustainable building ventilation solutions with heat recovery from waste heat

   Author : Behrouz Nourozi; Sture Holmberg; Adnan Ploskic; Qian Wang; Shia-Hui Peng; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wastewater heat recovery; balanced mechanical ventilation; defrosting reduction; heat recovery efficiency; thermal load shifting; renewables; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : The energy used by building sector accounts for approximately 40% of the total energy usage. In residential buildings, 30-60% of this energy is used for space heating which is mainly wasted by transmission heat losses. A share of 20-30% is lost by the discarded residential wastewater and the rest is devoted to ventilation heat loss. READ MORE

7. 5. Laminar-flow Liquid-to-air Heat Exchangers - Energy-efficient Display Cabinet Applications

   Author : Caroline Haglund Stignor; Värmeöverföring; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy-efficiency; indirect cooling; display cabinet; pressure drop; heat transfer; flat-tube heat exchanger; cooling coil; laminar;

   Abstract : Provisions are stored and displayed in supermarkets and grocery stores, at a temperature lower than the ambient, in display cabinets, which are responsible for a significant amount of the energy use in this sector. During the 1990s, major changes in the regulations governing the use of synthetic refrigerants took place in Sweden. READ MORE
