  2. 6. Estimation of Thermal and Hydraulic Characteristics of Compact Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers

    Author : Vijaya Sekhar Gullapalli; Institutionen för energivetenskaper; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Brazed plate heat exchangers; CFD; heat transfer; pressure drop; heat exchanger selection software; transcritical-CO2 calculations; heat exchanger rating; evaporation; condensation; refrigerant properties; discretized calculations;

    Abstract : This thesis work presents various performance estimation methods of compact brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHE) operating in single phase, condenser, evaporator, cascaded and transcritical applications. Such methods play a vital role in development of heat exchanger selection software and during geometry parameter estimation in the new product development process. READ MORE

  4. 7. Evaluating the utilisation of industrial excess heat from an energy systems perspective

    Author : Igor Cruz; Magnus Wallén; Mats Söderström; Maria Johansson; Danica Djuric Ilic; Johanna Mossberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial excess heat; Waste heat; Heat recovery; Greenhouse gas emissions;

    Abstract : Sweden aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2045. The need to immediately reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to achieve climate targets affects industry directly. The pulp and paper sector is responsible for more than 50% of industrial energy use in Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 8. Biomass conversion through syngas-based biorefineries : thermochemical process integration opportunities

    Author : Katarina Åberg; Anders Nordin; Linda Pommer; Erik Dahlquist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass; biorefinery; thermochemical conversion; torrefaction; slow pyrolysis; gasification; process integration; carbon negativity;

    Abstract : The replacement of fossil resources through renewable alternatives is one way to mitigate global climate change. Biomass is the only renewable source of carbon available for replacing oil as a refining feedstock. Therefore, it needs to be utilized not just as a fuel but for both biochemical and thermochemical conversion through biorefining. READ MORE

  6. 9. Optimum Design of Heat Exchanger Networks in Retrofit Situations

    Author : Annika Carlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optimum design; pressure drop; process integration; pinch thechnology; heat transfer coefficients; heat exchanger networks; retrofit;

    Abstract : Today, the most important activity in heat exchanger network synthesis is the retrofitting, rather than grass-root design, of networks. There is a vast potential for energy improvement in many processes by increasing the level of internal heat exchange. READ MORE

  7. 10. Process Integration of Industrial Heat Pumps in Grass-Root and Retrofit Situations

    Author : Erik Wallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; process integration; pinch technology; retrofit; industrial heat pumps; grass-root;

    Abstract : In several works, methods for process integration of heat pumps (HPs) have been developed, which in turn have been used for case studies in different industrial types. HP integration has thus proven to be a promising technique for utility savings and attractive payback periods. READ MORE
