Performance Analysis of a Flat Plate Solar Field for Process Heat
(2016)For a demonstration site realized within the European project InSun, we present the monitoring results of a solar thermal field providing process heat for a meat factory. The field uses flat plate collectors, with an overall ... -
A model for the performance assessment of hybrid coolers by means of transient numerical simulation
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016)This paper presents the development of a numerical model of a hybrid cooler for transient simulation purposes as a component of a thermal energy system. The model uses a modular definition of the control volume, and is ... -
District Heating and Cooling Networks Based on Decentralized Heat Pumps: Energy Efficiency and Reversibility at Affordable Costs
(2018)District heating and cooling networks based on decentralized reversible heat pumps offer the possibility of balancing heating and cooling demands and exploiting low-temperature waste heat sources. This enhanced “energy ... -
Large Scale Solar Process Heat Systems - Planning, Realization and System Operation
(2016)Within the FP7-InSun project three different solar process heat systems have been installed and integrated in two different industrial processes. A 1067 m2 advanced flat plate collector field and a 130 m2 parabolic trough ... -
Economic and environmental analysis of energy renovation packages for European office buildings
(2017)A large share of the buildings in Europe are old and in need of renovation, both in terms of functional repairs and energy efficiency. While many studies have addressed energy renovation of buildings, they rarely combine ... -
Monitoring of a MW Class Solar Field Set up in a Brick Manufacturing Process
(2014)InSun is an FP7 project that aims to demonstrate the reliability and quality of large solar thermal collector fields to produce industrial process heat at different temperature levels. In three demonstration plants, MW ... -
A new test procedure for the dynamic laboratory characterization of thermal systems and their components
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2014)The need for energy labelling procedures applied to thermal systems requires new methods to assess their seasonal performance. Their typical dynamic operation and the interaction among components and control system restrict ... -
Quality for Solar Cooling on Component Level
(2016)Within IEA-SHC Task 48 “Quality assurance and support measures for Solar Cooling” the most crucial components of solar thermal cooling plants have been analyzed in detail aiming at improving their quality. Test procedures ... -
Monitoring of a flat plate solar thermal field supplying process heat
(2016)The article reports the performance data of a flat plate collector field installed in Austria and supplying process heat to a meat factory, up to a temperature of about 95 °C. The presented data span an entire year, thereby ... -
Quality Assurance and Support Measures for Solar Cooling on System Level
(2016)Within the IEA SHC Task 48 “Quality assurance and support measures for Solar Cooling” the analysis and evaluation of the systems has been one of the four main focuses. Here the activities are including the lab- and field-based ...
