Thesis (MScIng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As the demand for less expensive energy is increasing world-wide, energy conservation is becoming a more-and-more important economic consideration. In light of this, means to recover energy from waste fluid streams is also becoming more-and-more important. An efficient and cost effective means of conserving energy is to recover heat from a low temperature waste fluid stream and use this heat to preheat another process stream. Heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHEs) are devices capable of cost effectively salvaging wasted energy in this way. HPHEs are liquid-coupled indirect transfer type heat exchangers except that the HPHE employs heat pipes or thermosyphons as the major heat transfer mechanism from the high temperature to the low-temperature fluid. The primary advantage of using a HPHE is that it does not require an external pump to circulate the coupling fluid. The hot and cold streams can also be completely isolated preventing cross-contamination of the fluids. In addition, the HPHE has no moving parts. In this thesis, the development of a range of air-to-air HPHEs is investigated. Such an investigation involved the theoretical modelling of HPHEs such that a demonstration unit could be designed, installed in a practical industrial application and then evaluated by considering various financial aspects such as initial costs, running costs and energy savings. To develop the HPHE theoretical model, inside heat transfer coefficients for the evaporator and condenser sections of thermosyphons were investigated with R134a and Butane as two separate working fluids. The experiments on the thermosyphons were undertaken at vertical and at an inclination angle of 45° to the horizontal. Different diameters were considered and evaporator to condenser length ratios kept constant. The results showed that R134a provided for larger heat transfer rates than the Butane operated thermosyphons for similar temperature differences despite the fact that the latent heat of vaporization for Butane is higher than that of R134a. As an example, a R134a charged thermosyphon yielded heat transfer rates in the region of 1160 W whilst the same thermosyphon charged with Butane yielded heat transfer rates in the region of 730 W at 23 °C . Results also showed that higher heat transfer rates were possible when the thermosyphons operated at 45°. Typically, for a thermosyphon with a diameter of 31.9 mm and an evaporator to condenser length ratio of 0.24, an increase in the heat transfer rate of 24 % could be achieved. Theoretical inside heat transfer coefficients were also formulated which were found to correlate reasonably well with most proposed correlations. However, an understanding of the detailed two-phase flow and heat transfer behaviour of the working fluid inside thermosyphons is difficult to model. Correlations proposing this behaviour were formulated and include the use of R134a and Butane as the working fluids. The correlations were formulated from thermosyphons of diameters of 14.99 mm, 17.272 mm, 22.225 mm and 31.9 mm. The evaporator to condenser length ratio for the 31.9 mm diameter thermosyphon was 0.24 whilst the other thermosyphons had ratios of 1. The heat fluxes ranged from 1800-43500 W/m2. The following theoretical inside heat transfer coefficients were proposed for vertical and inclined operations (READ CORRECT FORMULA IN FULL TEXT ABSTRACT) φ = 90° ei h = 3.4516x105Ja−0.855Ku1.344 φ = 45° ei h = 1.4796x105Ja−0.993Ku1.3 φ = 90° l l l ci l l v h x k g 1/ 3 2.05 2 4.61561 109Re 0.364 ν ρ ρ ρ − ⎡ ⎡ ⎛ ⎞⎤ ⎤ = ⎢ ⎢ ⎜ ⎟⎥ ⎥ ⎢ ⎢ ⎜ − ⎟⎥ ⎥ ⎣ ⎣ ⎝ ⎠⎦ ⎦ φ = 45° l l l ci l l v h x k g 1/ 3 1.916 2 3.7233 10 5Re 0.136 ν ρ ρ ρ − ⎡ ⎡ ⎛ ⎞⎤ ⎤ = ⎢ ⎢ ⎜ ⎟⎥ ⎥ ⎢ ⎢ ⎜ − ⎟⎥ ⎥ ⎣ ⎣ ⎝ ⎠⎦ ⎦ The theoretically modelled demonstration HPHE was installed into an existing air drier system. Heat recoveries of approximately 8.8 kW could be recovered for the hot waste stream with a hot air mass flow rate of 0.55 kg/s at an inlet temperature of 51.64 °C and outlet temperature of 35.9 °C in an environment of 20 °C. Based on this recovery, energy savings of 32.18 % could be achieved and a payback period for the HPHE was calculated in the region of 3.3 years. It is recommended that not withstanding the accuracies of roughly 25 % achieved by the theoretically predicted correlations to that of the experimental work, performance parameters such as the liquid fill charge ratios, the evaporator to condenser length ratios and the orientation angles should be further investigated.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: As gevolg van die groeiende aanvraag na goedkoper energie, word die behoud van energie ‘n al hoe belangriker ekonomiese oorweging. Dus word die maniere om energie te herwin van afval-vloeierstrome al hoe meer intensief ondersoek. Een effektiewe manier om energie te herwin, is om die lae-temperatuur-afval-vloeierstroom (wat sou verlore gaan) se hitte te gebruik om ‘n ander vloeierstroom mee te verhit. Hier dien dit dan as voorverhitting van die ander, kouer, vloeierstroom. Hittepyp hitteruilers (HPHR’s) is laekoste toestelle wat gebruik kan word vir hierdie doel. ‘n HPHR is ‘n vloeistof-gekoppelde indirekte-oordrag hitteruiler, behalwe vir die feit dat dié hitteruiler gebruik maak van hittepype (of hittebuise) wat die grootste deel van sy hitteoordragsmeganisme uitmaak. Die primêre voordele van ‘n HPHR is dat dit geen bewegende dele het nie, die koue- en warmstrome totaal geïsoleer bly van mekaar en geen eksterne pomp benodig word om die werkvloeier mee te sirkuleer nie. In hierdie tesis word ‘n ondersoek gedoen oor die ontwikkeling van ‘n bestek van lug-totlug HPHR’s. Hierdie ondersoek het die teoretiese modellering van so ‘n HPHR geverg, sodat ‘n demonstrasie eenheid ontwerp kon word. Hierdie demonstrasie eenheid is geïnstalleer in ‘n praktiese industriële toepassing waar dit geïvalueer is deur na aspekte soos finansiële voordele en energie-besparings te kyk. Om die teoretiese HPHR model te kon ontwikkel, moes daar gekyk word na die binnehitteoordragskoëffisiënte van die verdamper- en kondensordeursneë, asook R134a en Butaan as onderskeie werksvloeiers. Die eksperimente met die hittebuise is gedoen in die vertikale en 45° (gemeet vanaf die horisontaal) posisies. Verskillende diameters is ook ondersoek, maar met die verdamper- en kondensor-lengteverhouding wat konstant gehou is. Die resultate wys dat R134a as werksvloeier in die hittebuise voorsiening maak vir groter hitteoordragstempo’s in vergelyking met Butaan as werksvloeier by min of meer dieselfde temperatuur verskil – dít ten spyte van die feit dat Butaan ‘n hoër latente-hittetydens- verdampings eienskap het. As voorbeeld gee ‘n R134a-gelaaide hittebuis ‘n hitteoordragstempo van omtrent 1160 W terwyl dieselfde hittebuis wat met Butaan gelaai is, slegs ongeveer 730 W lewer by 23 °C. Die resultate wys ook duidelik dat hoër hitteoordragstempo’s verkry word indien die hittebuis bedryf word teen ‘n hoek van 45°. ‘n Tipiese toename in hitteoordragstempo is ongeveer 24 % vir ‘n hittebuis met ‘n diameter van 31.9 mm en ‘n verdamper- tot kondensor-lengteverhouding van 0.24. Teoretiese binne-hitteoordragskoëffisiënte is ook geformuleer. Dié waardes stem redelik goed ooreen met die meeste voorgestelde korrelasies. Nieteenstaande die feit dat gedetailleerde twee-fase-vloei en die hitteoordragsgedrag van die werksvloeier binne hittebuise nog nie goed deur die wetenskaplike wêreld verstaan word nie. Korrelasies wat hierdie gedrag voorstel is geformuleer en sluit weereens die gebruik van R134a en Butaan as werksvloeiers in. Die korrelasies is geformuleer vanaf hittebuise met diameters van onderskeidelik 14.99 mm, 17.272 mm, 22.225 mm en 31.9 mm. Die verdamper- tot kondensor-lengteverhoudings vir die 31.9 mm deursnit hittebuis was 0.24 terwyl die ander hittebuise ‘n verhouding van 1 gehad het. Die hitte-vloede het gewissel van 1800-45300 W/m2. Die volgende teoretiese geformuleerde binne-hitteoordragskoëffisiënte word voorgestel vir beide vertikale sowel as nie-vertikale toepassing (LEES KORREKTE FORMULE IN VOLTEKS OPSOMMING) φ = 90° ei h = 3.4516x105Ja−0.855Ku1.344 φ = 45° ei h = 1.4796x105Ja−0.993Ku1.3 φ = 90° l l l ci l l v h x k g 1/ 3 2.05 2 4.61561 109Re 0.364 ν ρ ρ ρ − ⎡ ⎡ ⎛ ⎞⎤ ⎤ = ⎢ ⎢ ⎜ ⎟⎥ ⎥ ⎢ ⎢ ⎜ − ⎟⎥ ⎥ ⎣ ⎣ ⎝ ⎠⎦ ⎦ φ = 45° l l l ci l l v h x k g 1/ 3 1.916 2 3.7233 10 5Re 0.136 ν ρ ρ ρ − ⎡ ⎡ ⎛ ⎞⎤ ⎤ = ⎢ ⎢ ⎜ ⎟⎥ ⎥ ⎢ ⎢ ⎜ − ⎟⎥ ⎥ ⎣ ⎣ ⎝ ⎠⎦ ⎦ Die wiskundig-gemodelleerde demostrasie HPHR is geïnstalleer binne ‘n bestaande lugdroër-sisteem.

Na aanleiding van hierdie herwinning, kan energiebesparings van tot 32.18 % verkry word. Die HPHR se installasiekoste kan binne ‘n berekende tydperk van ongeveer 3.3 jaar gedelg word deur hierdie besparing.

Full textAbstract:
The trend towards improving building airtightness to save energy has increased the incidence of poor indoor air quality and associated problems, such as condensation on windows, mould, rot and fungus on window frames. Mechanical ventilation/heat recovery systems, combined with heat pumps, offer a means of significantly improving indoor air quality, as well as providing energy efficient heating and cooling required in buildings. This thesis is concerned with the development of a novel mechanical ventilation heat recovery/heat pump system for the domestic market. Several prototypes have been developed to provide mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. These systems utilise an annular array of revolving heat pipes which simultaneously transfer heat and impel air. The devices, therefore, act as fans as well as heat exchangers. The heat pipes have wire finned extended surfaces to enhance the heat transfer and fan effect. The systems use environmentally friendly refrigerants with no ozone depletion potential and very low global warming potential. A hybrid system was developed which incorporated a heat pump to provide winter heating and summer cooling. Tests were carried out on different prototype designs. The type of tinning, the working fluid charge and the number and geometry of heat pipes was varied. The prototypes provide up to 1000m3/hr airflow, have a maximum static pressure of 220Pa and have heat exchanger efficiencies of up to 65%. At an operating supply rate of 200m3/hr and static pressure 100Pa, the best performing prototype has a heat exchanger efficiency of 53%. The heat pump system used the hydrocarbon isobutane as the refrigerant. Heating COPs of up to 5 were measured. Typically the system can heat air from 0°C to 26°C at 200m3/hr with a whole system COP of 2. The contribution to knowledge from this research work is the development of a novel MVHR system and a novel MVHR heat pump system and the establishment of the performances of these systems.

Full textAbstract:
Due to rising energy costs and concerns about global climate change, high performance buildings are more in demand than ever before. With roughly 20% of the total energy consumption in the United States being devoted to residential use, this sector represents a significant opportunity for future savings. There are many guidelines and standards for reducing building energy consumption. One of the most stringent is the Passive House Standard. The standard requires that that air infiltration is less than or equal to 0.6 air changes per hour at a 50 Pascal pressure difference (ACH 50), annual heating energy is less than or equal to 15kWh/m2, and total annual source energy is less than or equal to 120 kWh/m2. For comparison, the typical West coast US residence has an ACH50 of 5 and annually uses more than 174 kWh/m2 of source energy according to the 2009 Residential Energy Consumption Survey. With these challenging requirements, successful implementation of the Passive House Standard requires effective strategies to substantially reduce energy consumption for all end uses.
Heating and cooling loads are low by necessity in a Passive House. As such this makes end uses like water heating a much larger fraction of total energy use than they would be in a typical building. When air to water heat pumps are employed the energy consumption by water heating is lowered significantly. By employing innovative heat recovery strategies the energy consumption for water heating and HVAC can be reduced even further. This study uses energy modeling and project cost analysis to evaluate three innovative control strategies. Results for a Passive House in Portland Oregon show a savings of about $70 annually with a payback period of 10 years. The same Passive House in Fairbanks Alaska with a different strategy would save $150 annually with a payback period of 5 years.

Full textAbstract:
The work presented in this thesis will explore the development of novel heat recovery systems coupled with low carbon technologies, and its integration to become one device with multifunction (building integrated heat recovery/cooling/air dehumidifier. In the first part of this thesis, an experimental performance of an individual heat recovery unit using Micro Heat and Mass Cycle Core (MHM3C) made of fibre papers with cross flow arrangement has been carried out. The unit was tested in an environmental control chamber to investigate the effects of various parameters on the performance of heat/energy recovery unit. The results showed that as the airflow rate and temperature change increase, the efficiency decreases whilst recovered energy increases. Integrating heat recovery system in energy-efficient system represents significant progress for building applications. As part of the research, the integration of heat recovery using a cross-flow fixed-plate with wind-catcher and cellulose fibre papers of evaporative cooling units have allowed part of the energy to be recovered with the efficiency of heat recovery unit ranged from 50 to 70%, cooling efficiency ranged from 31 to 54%. In another case, the integration of heat recovery system with building part so called building integrated heat recovery (BIHR) was explored using polycarbonate plate with counter-flow arrangement. It introduces a new approach to MVHR system, an established technology that uses a modified insulation panel, linking the inside and outside of a building, to recover heat while extracting waste air and supplying fresh air. In this configuration it is not only acts a heat recovery, but also as a contribution to building thermal insulation. From the experiments conducted, it was found that through an energy balance on the structure, the efficiency of BIHR prototype was found to be 50 to 61.1 % depending on the airflow rate. This efficiency increases to the highest value of 83.3% in a full-scale measurement on a real building in Ashford, Kent as the area of heat transfer surface increases. The increasing of heat surface area again proved a better performance in terms of efficiency as the results on another full scale measurement on a real house in Hastings, Sussex showed to be 86.2 to 91.7%. With the aiming to have a high performance system, a new improvement design of BIHR' corrugated polycarbonate channels with four airstreams has significant advantages over the previous prototype BIHR with two airstreams. The recovered heat is increased by more than 50%. With the issue of thermal comfort in hot region area and problems with conventional air conditioning system, a study of BIHR system with fibre wick structure for different hot (summer) air conditions using different working fluids was carried out. For the first case, water was used to give a direct evaporative cooling effect which is suitable to evaluate the system performance under hot and dry climatic conditions and the second case, potassium formate (HCOOK) solution was used as liquid desiccant for dehumidification under hot and humid climate conditions. By supplying the water over the fibre wick structure, with a constant airflow rate of 0.0157m3/s, the efficiency increased with increasing intake air temperature. The efficiency ranged from 20 to 42.4% corresponding to the minimum and maximum of intake air temperature of 25°C and 38.2°C, respectively. With the variation of airflow rate, the efficiency of the system was found to be 53.2 to 60%. In second case, the HCOOK solution with concentration of 68.6% has been selected as the desiccant and for a defined airflow rate of 0.0157m3/s, heat recovery efficiency of about 54%, a lower desiccant temperature of 20°C, with higher intake air temperature and relative humidity produces a better dehumidification performance with a good moisture absorption capacity. Therefore, this system is expected to be used efficiently in hot and humid regions. The research is novel in the following ways: • The development of multifunction device in one system; building integrated, heat recovery, cooling, desiccant dehumidification. • The design and development of BIHR is an advanced technology of building thermal insulation and heat recovery. The novel BIHR -fibre wick cooling/dehumidification system has the potential to compete with conventional air conditioning systems under conditions involving high temperature and high moisture load.

The global air temperature has increased by 0.74± 0.18 °C since 1905 and scientists have shown that CO2 accounts for 55 percentages of the greenhouse gases. Global atmospheric CO2 has been sharply increased since 1751, however the trend has slowed down in last fifty years in the Western Europe. UK and EU countries have singed the Kyoto agreement to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by a collective average of 12.5% below their 1990 levels by 2020. In the EU, 40% of CO2 emission comes from the residential energy consumption, in which the HVAC system accounts for 50%, lighting accounts for 15% and appliances 10%. Hence, reducing the fossil-fuel consumption in residential energy by utilizing renewable energy is an effective method to achieve the Kyoto target. However, in the UK renewable energy only accounts for 2% of the total energy consumption in 2005. A novel heat recovery/desiccant cooling system is driven by the solar collector and cooling tower to achieve low energy cooling with low CO2 emission. This system is novel in the following ways: • Uses cheap fibre materials as the air-to-air heat exchanger, dehumidifier and regenerator core • Heat/mass fibre exchanger saves both sensible and latent heat from the exhaust air • The dehumidifier core with hexagonal surface could be integrated with windcowls/catchers draught • Utilises low electrical energy and therefore low CO2 is released to the environment The cooling system consists of three main parts: heat/mass transfer exchanger, desiccant dehumidifier and regenerator. The fibre exchanger, dehumidifier and regenerator cores are the key parts of the technology. Owing to its proper pore size and porosity, fibre is selected out as the exchanger membrane to execute the heat/mass transfer process. Although the fibre is soft and difficult to keep the shape for long term running, its low price makes its frequent replacement feasible, which can counteract its disadvantages. A counter-flow air-to-air heat /mass exchanger was investigated and simulation and experimental results indicated that the fibre membranes soaked by desiccant solution showed the best heat and mass recovery effectiveness at about 89.59% and 78.09%, respectively. LiCl solution was selected as the working fluid in the dehumidifier and regenerator due to its advisable absorption capacity and low regeneration temperature. Numerical simulations and experimental testing were carried out to work out the optimal dehumidifier/regenerator structure, size and running conditions. Furthermore, the simulation results proved that the cooling tower was capable to service the required low temperature cooling water and the solar collector had the ability to offer the heating energy no lower than the regeneration temperature 60℃. The coefficient-of-performance of this novel heat recovery/desiccant cooling system is proved to be as high as 13.0, with a cooling capacity of 5.6kW when the system is powered by renewable energy. This case is under the pre-set conditions that the environment air temperature is 36℃ and relative humidity is 50% (cities such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Spain and Thailand, etc). Hence, this system is very useful for a hot/humid climate with plenty of solar energy. The theoretical modelling consisted of four numerical models is proved by experiments to predict the performance of the system within acceptable errors. Economic analysis based on a case (200m2 working office in London) indicated that the novel heat recovery/desiccant cooling system could save 5134kWh energy as well as prevent 3123kg CO2 emission per year compared to the traditional HVAC system. Due to the flexible nature of the fibre, the capital and maintenance cost of the novel cooling system is higher than the traditional HVAC system, but its running cost are much lower than the latter. Hence, the novel heat recovery/desiccant cooling system is cost effective and environment friendly technology.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis reports on design and performance studies of a prototype combined air source heat pump and storage system, retro fitted to heat occupied spaces subjected to high ventilation rates. The source of heat is from the air in the extract duct. Two limiting thermal conditions exist. The first is the thermal capacity of air passing over the ducted heat exchangers. The second is the dew and freezing points of the exhaust air, because of the insulating effect of ice on exchanger fins and tubes. Both are alleviated to a significant extent with high mass flow rates passing down the duct, since more heat can be extracted for a set decline in exhaust air temperatures. This study identifies reasons for ventilation and building strategies involving high ventilation rates, including the physiological and emotional needs of people and the various economic, climatic and Governmental polices (climate change levy, public health legislation) that impact upon heating and ventilation design. The study recognises the need for reduced carbon dioxide emissions and explores issues of indoor air quality and sick building syndrome and how increased ventilation rates can address them. The proposition investigated in this thesis is that air source recovery and heating by heat pump systems, combined with a heat storage system, can economically allow increases in ventilation rates to well above current standards without incurring great increases in energy use and carbon emissions; and in some circumstances reducing them. The thesis discusses in depth and detail, the advantages and disadvantages of possible alternative methods of heating a building and ventilation recovery, comparing their effectiveness and cost. A prototype system has been designed and field trials of a retrofit application have produced performance data that has subsequently been used in a long term cost comparison. The rig's design and construction are fully documented and its function over a full heating season is comprehensively explained (recording methods, types of calibration, control choices etc). A theoretical estimate of the energy requirements could have been attained using simulation and degree day information, however, a real like-for-like comparison using field trials prepared and a model was developed which allowed test data to be used to predict costs. The rig was tested over two heating seasons and compared with actual reading from alternative heating systems, degree day calculations are discussed but the reliance is on the actual live data gathered. (although summer cooling is achievable with the test rig no readings were recorded or comparison made). The work shows that heat pump heating and recovery systems and combined storage ability out-performed the other systems investigated. The crucial elements of its functionality are the high temperature of the heat source and the vast volume (and thermal capacity) of air being used, extracting at 24 °C and delivering at 35°C. The Coefficient of performance varies through the heating season but, synthesis of theory with test rig performance demonstrate that the longer term cost of the system is attractive; and its attraction shall probably grow with anticipated future trends in consumer demands for comfort and air quality coupled with fuel costs and a philanthropic social and political attitude to emissions control.

Full textAbstract:
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are widely distributed over the world due to their capacity to adjust some local climate parameters, like temperature, relative humidity, cleanliness and distribution of the air until the desired levels verified in a hypothetical ideal climate. A review of buildings’ energy usage in developed countries shows that in the present this energy service is responsible for a portion of about 20% of the final energy usage on them, increasing up to 50% in hot-humid countries. In order to decrease this value, more and more different heat recovery systems have been developed and implemented over the last decades. Nowadays it is mandatory to install one of these units when the design conditions are above the limit values to avoid such components, what is possible to verify mostly in non-residential buildings. Each one of those units has its own performance and working characteristics that turns it more indicated to make part of a certain ventilation system in particular. Air-to-air energy recovery ventilation is based on the heat recovery transfer (latent and/or sensible) from the flow at high temperature to the flow at lower temperature, pre-warming the outdoor supply air (in the case of the winter). Therefore, it is important to understand in which concept those units have to be used and more important than that, how they work, helping to visualize their final effect on the HVAC system. The major aims of this study were to investigate the actual performance of the heat recovery units for LB20 and LB21 in building 99 at the University of Gävle and make some suggestions that could enhance their actual efficiency. Furthermore, the energy transfer rates associated to the heat recovery units were calculated in order to understand the impact of such components in the overall HVAC system as also the possible financial opportunity by making small improvements in the same units. To assess the system, values of temperature and flow (among others) were collected in the air stream and in the ethylene-glycol solution that works as heat transfer medium between air streams and is enclosed in pipes that make part of the actual run-around heat recovery units. After some calculations, it was obtained that for the coldest day of measurements, the sensible effectiveness was 42% in LB20 and 47% in LB21, changing to 44% and 43% in the warmer day, respectively. The actual heat transfer representing the savings in the supply air stream is higher on the coldest day, with values of 46 kW in LB20 and 84 kW in LB21, justifying the existence of the heat recovery units even if those ones imply the use of hydraulic pumps to ensure the loop. The low values of efficiency have shown that both heat recovery units are working below the desired performance similarly to the pumps that make part of the same units. This fact, together with the degradation of the units that is possible to observe in the local, indicates that a complete cleaning (followed by a change of the heat transfer medium) of the heat recovery units and a new adjustment of pumps and valves for the further changes, are necessary. By doing this, it is expected to see the year average sensible effectiveness increase to close to 45% in both units which will lead to a potential economic saving of around 41 000 SEK per year.

Full textAbstract:
With the building sector accounting for around 40% of the total energy consumption in the EU, energy efficiency in buildings is and continues to be an important issue. Great progress has been made in reducing the energy consumption in new buildings, but the large stock of existing buildings with poor energy performance is probably an even more crucial area of focus. This thesis deals with energy efficiency measures that can be suitable for renovation of existing houses, particularly low-temperature heating systems and ventilation systems with heat recovery. The energy performance, environmental impact and costs are evaluated for a range of system combinations, for small and large houses with various heating demands and for different climates in Europe. The results were derived through simulation with energy calculation tools. Low-temperature heating and air heat recovery were both found to be promising with regard to increasing energy efficiency in European houses. These solutions proved particularly effective in Northern Europe as low-temperature heating and air heat recovery have a greater impact in cold climates and on houses with high heating demands. The performance of heat pumps, both with outdoor air and exhaust air, was seen to improve with low-temperature heating. The choice between an exhaust air heat pump and a ventilation system with heat recovery is likely to depend on case specific conditions, but both choices are more cost-effective and have a lower environmental impact than systems without heat recovery. The advantage of the heat pump is that it can be used all year round, given that it produces DHW. Economic and environmental aspects of energy efficiency measures do not always harmonize. On the one hand, lower costs can sometimes mean larger environmental impact; on the other hand there can be divergence between different environmental aspects. This makes it difficult to define financial subsidies to promote energy efficiency measures.Byggnader står för omkring 40 % av den totala energianvändningen i EU. Energieffektivisering av byggnader är och fortsätter därför att vara en viktig fråga. Även om stora framsteg har gjorts när det gäller att minska energianvändningen i nya byggnader så är det stora beståndet av befintliga byggnader med dålig energiprestanda förmodligen ett ännu viktigare område att fokusera på. Denna avhandling behandlar energieffektiviseringsåtgärder som kan lämpa sig för renovering av befintliga hus, i synnerhet lågtemperaturvärmesystem och ventilationssystem med värmeåtervinning. Energiprestanda, miljöpåverkan och kostnader utvärderas för en rad systemkombinationer, för små och stora hus med olika värmebehov och för olika klimat i Europa. Resultaten togs fram genom simuleringar med energiberäkningsprogram. Lågtemperatursystem och värmeåtervinning framstod båda som lovande lösningar för energieffektivisering av europeiska hus, särskilt i norra Europa, eftersom dessa åtgärder har större effekt i kalla klimat och på hus med stort värmebehov. Prestandan för värmepumpar, såväl av utelufts- som frånluftstyp, förbättrades med lågtemperaturvärmesystem. Valet mellan frånluftsvärmepump och värmeåtervinning till ventilationsluft kan antas bero på specifika förhållanden för varje fall, men de är båda mer kostnadseffektiva och har lägre miljöpåverkan än system utan värmeåtervinning. Värmepumpen har fördelen att den kan återvinna värme året runt, förutsatt att den producerar varmvatten. Ekonomiska och miljömässiga aspekter av energieffektiviseringsåtgärder stämmer inte alltid överens. Dels lägre kostnad ibland betyda större miljöpåverkan, dels kan det finnas divergens mellan olika miljöaspekter. Detta gör det svårt att fastställa subventioner för att främja energieffektiviseringsåtgärder.

Full textAbstract:
En raison des quantités d’énergie requises par la production primaire d’aluminium et le rendement relativement faible, les rejets thermiques de cette industrie sont énormes. Ils sont par contre difficiles à utiliser à cause de leur faible température. De plus, tout changement apporté pour augmenter la température des rejets peut avoir un impact important sur la production. La compréhension du transfert thermique et de l’écoulement d’air dans une cuve peut aider à maintenir les conditions de la cuve lorsque des modifications y sont apportées. Le présent travail vise à développer cette compréhension et à apporter des solutions pour faciliter la capture des rejets thermiques. Premièrement, un circuit thermique est développé pour étudier les pertes thermiques par le dessus de la cuve. En associant des résistances thermiques aux paramètres physiques et d’opération, une analyse de sensibilité par rapport aux paramètres d’intérêt est réalisée pour déterminer les variables qui ont le plus d’influence sur la qualité thermique des rejets de chaleur dans les effluents gazeux. Il a été montré que la réduction du taux de ventilation des cuves était la solution la plus efficace. Ensuite, un modèle CFD a été développé. Un bon accord a été trouvé entre les deux modèles. Deuxièmement, une analyse systématique de la réduction de la ventilation des cuves a été réalisée par la simulation CFD. Trois problèmes qui peuvent survenir suite à une réduction du taux de ventilation sont étudiés et des modifications sont proposées et vérifiées par des simulations CFD. Le premier problème, maintenir les pertes thermiques via le dessus de la cuve, peut être résolu en exposant davantage les rondins à l’air pour augmenter les pertes radiatives. Le second problème soulevé par la réduction de ventilation concerne les conditions thermiques dans la salle des cuves et une influence limitée de la ventilation est observée par les simulations. Finalement, l’étanchéité des cuves est augmentée par une réduction des ouvertures de la cuve de manière à limiter les émissions fugitives sous des conditions de ventilation réduite. Les résultats ont révélé qu’une réduction de 50% du taux de ventilation est techniquement réalisable et que la température des effluents d’une cuve peut être augmentée de 50 à 60˚C.Due to the high energy requirement and ~50% efficiency of energy conversion in aluminum reduction technology, the waste heat is enormous but hard to be recovered. The main reason lay in its relatively low temperature. Moreover, any changes may affect other aspects of the production process, positively or negatively. A complete understanding of the heat transfer and fluid flow in aluminum smelting cells can help to achieve a good trade-off between modifications and maintenance of cell conditions. The present work aims at a systematic understanding of the heat transfer in aluminum smelting cell and to propose the most feasible way to collect the waste heat in the cell. First, a thermal circuit network is developed to study the heat loss from the top of a smelting cell. By associating the main thermal resistances with material or operating parameters, a sensitivity analysis with respect to the parameters of interest is performed to determine the variables that have the most potential to maximize the thermal quality of the waste heat in the pot exhaust gas. It is found that the reduction of pot draft condition is the most efficient solution. Then, a more detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is developed. A good agreement between the two models is achieved. Second, a systematic analysis of the reduction of draft condition is performed based on CFD simulations. Three issues that may be adversely affected by the draft reduction are studied and corresponding modifications are proposed and verified in CFD simulations. The first issue, maintaining total top heat loss, is achieved by exposing more anode stubs to the air and enhancing the radiative heat transfer. The second one is to verify the influence of the draft reduction on the heat stress in potroom and limited influence is observed in the simulations. Finally, the pot tightness is enhanced by reducing pot openings in order to constrain the level of fugitive emissions under reduced pot draft condition. The results have revealed that 50% reduction in the normal draft level is technically realisable and that the temperature of pot exhaust gas can be increased by 50-60 ˚C.

Full textAbstract:
Since the building sector is responsible for 40% of the energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU, the reduction of energy use has become a priority in this sector. The EU has adopted several policies to improve energy efficiency. One of these policies aims to achieve energy efficient renovations in at least 3% of buildings owned and occupied by governments annually. In Sweden, a large part of existing buildings was built between 1965 and 1974, a period commonly referred to as ‘miljonprogrammet’. Stora Tunabyggen AB, the public housing company in Borlänge municipality, begun a renovation project in the Tjärna Ängar neighborhood within the municipality with the greatest share of its buildings stock from this period. The pilot project started in 2015. The aim of this project was to renovate three buildings with similar measures, that is, by adding 150 mm attic insulation, replacing windows with higher performing ones (U-value 1 W/m ²K), by adding 50 mm of insulation to the infill walls and by the installation of flowreducing taps. The essential difference between the three renovation packages is the HVAC systems. The selected HVAC systems are (1) exhaust air heat pump, (2) mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and (3) exhaust ventilation. Life cycle cost analysis was conducted for the three building and sensitivity analysis for different values of discount rate and energy price escalation was performed. The study found that the house with exhaust ventilation has the lowest life cycle cost and the highest energy cost. The house with exhaust air heat pump has 3% higher life cycle cost and 18% lower energy use at 3% discount rate and 3% energy price escalation. The study found that mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is not profitable, although it saves energy. The sensitivity analysis has shown that the possible increment of price energy and lower discount rate give higher value for the future costs in life cycle cost analysis. This lead to the main finding of this thesis, which is that exhaust air heat pump is the best choice for the owner according to the available data and the assessed parameters.

Sverige och EU har man som mål att halvera energianvändningen fram till 2050 och det arbetet måste starta nu. Det är 15 miljoner kvm byggyta som måste halvera sin energianvändning varje år och i 40 år framåt. Redan idag är 70 % av alla hus till 2050 byggda, vilket innebär att även om vi skulle bygga passivhus fram tills dess skulle det inte räcka för att nå målet. Det är alltså en stor utmaning att halvera energianvändningen till 2050. En jämförelsestudie har genomförts mellan två värmeåtervinningssystem. Frånluftssystem med värmeåtervinning och från- och tilluftssystem med värmeåtervinning. Med hjälp av resultaten av genomförda projekt från två olika fastighetsägare har slutsatser kunnat dras. Slutsatserna är underlag till parametrar som påverkar valet av värmeåtervinningssystem. För att veta vad som är lämpligt har intervjuer genomförts med sakkunniga personer, fastighetsbolags energiansvariga, leverantörer samt konsulter. Utifrån de intervjuer som genomfördes har uppfattning uppkommit om att alla har olika synpunkter och värderingar vid val av ventilationssystem samt att det är många faktorer som spelar roll vid val av ventilationssystem. I rapporten intervjuas två av Stockholms största fastighetsbolag: Stockholms Hem och Svenska Bostäder. Både fastighetsbolagen genomförde ett ”pilotprojekt” där man utfört prövning och utveckling av nya tekniska system. Syftet med pilotprojektet var att göra ett underlag för framtida projekt. De båda fastighetsbolagens val av ventilationssystem var situationsanpassade. Stockholms hem valde att använda sig av FX pga. affärsmässiga skäl samt utformningen av fastigheterna. Svenska Bostäder utförde större projekt där man totalrenoverade fastigheter, och därmed använde sig av FTX pga. klimatmässiga skäl.Sweden has alongside with EU set a up goal to reduce the usage of energy with 50 % by 2050, a goal that Sweden to start working towards today/now. It is 15 million square meters of building space that needs to decrease its use of energy every year in 40 years. 70 % of all the buildings that are meant to be build in Sweden by 2050 are already made today, this strongly implicates that we will not be able to reach the goal even if the remaining 30% are strictly passive houses. It will be a demanding challenge to reduce the energy usage to half of its current state. A comparison has been made between two studies on waste heat recovery system, specifically the exhaust system with heat recovery and exhaust and supply air with heat recovery. A conclusion has be drawn from results of the two studies that were made. The conclusions are the main source for the parameters affecting the choice of waste heat recovery system. In order to know what was suitable for the goal, Interviews were made with experienced staffs, a property company, energy managers, contractors and consultants. Based on the interviews made, we concluded that all the parties had different views and standards when selecting a ventilation system, since there are many factors that play major roles in different areas. “Stockholms Hem” and “Svenska Bostäder” which is Two of Stockholm’s leading real estate companies were interviewed for this report. The two companies conducted a “pilot project” where they performed the investigation and development of new established technical systems. The pilot project was meant to be a base for future projects. The company’s choice of ventilation system was adapted after the situation. “Stockholms hem” chaose to use the an exhaust air heat pump due to business related reason and the design of the building, whereas “Svenska bostäder “ implemented major projects that renovated properties thus they chose an exhaust supply air heat exchange system due to climate reasons.

To be able to handle tomorrows need for limited energy consumption we need to reduce our use of energy. The building sector stands for around 40 % of all energy consumption in the society. The government has put up a goal to reduce the energy consumption in our buildings with 20 % by year 2020 and 50 % by year 2050 compared with year 1995. To be able to do reach that goal we need a more energy efficient building stock. The main part of the energy used in our buildings is used for space heating. By installing ventilation systems with heat recovery on the exhaust air it is possible to use the heat-energy in the exhaust air to warm up the incoming air. This can contribute to a reduction in energy use. A ventilation system with heat recovery on the exhaust air is space demanding and there can be problems with finding enough space to do the installation indoors. Therefore it can be an advantage to place the aggregate and the ducts on the outside of the buildings climate shell. A placement exterior of the buildings climate shell or in an unheated space leads to thermal heat losses. The aim with this essay is to investigate how significant the heat losses are on exterior placed ventilation systems. The investigation has been done with help of theoretical calculations and measurements of the temperature difference in the ventilation ducts. Analysis has been made on life cycle costs on how to reduce the heat losses in an economic manner. To buildings, Höstvägen 14 and 22 in Växjö, which have been equipped with exterior placed ventilation systems have been studied. The two buildings have two different types of installation of the ducts. Our result shows that the heat losses through the ventilation systems on Höstvägen 14 and 22 are significant. The majority of the losses occur in the ducts. In the aggregate the thermal bridges in the framework accounts for the larger part.

Full textAbstract:
En jämförelsestudie har genomförts mellan två värmesystem. Analysen har genomförts med ett flerbostadshus som referensfasighet. Fastigheten är lokaliserad i Södertälje kommun. Analysen går ut på att bestämma vilket värmesystem som är fördelaktigt vid renovering av äldre flerbostadshus med avseende på energi och kostnad. De systemen som har behandlats är ett centralt värmesystem med motströmsvärmeväxlare och ett centralt värmesystem med frånluftsvärmepump. Det centrala värmesystemet (Eq aggregat) är ett centralt från- och tilluftssystem med återvinning (FTX system). Systemet använder en motströmsvärmeväxlare för överföring av värmeenergi mellan från- och tilluften. Det centrala värmesystemet (Energi well) är ett frånluftssystem (FX system) med en ny teknisk lösning. Systemet återvinner värme ur frånluften med hjälp av kondenserande frånluftsvärmpumpar. Värmepumparna finns i en frånluftskammare på vindsvåningen. Den återvunna värmen förs sedan vidare till undercentralen för att värma upp varmvattnet. Analysen har genomförts med hjälp av teoretiska energi- och kostnadsberäkningar, intervjuer och faktainsamlingar. Energiberäkningarna har bestått av en energibalansberäkning för att få fram den köpta energiförbrukningen. Kostnadsberäkningar har bestått av en livscykelkostnads kalkyl och en kostnads beräkning per producerad värmeenergi. De resulterande värdena för båda värmesystemen har sedan jämförts med varandra. Resultatet visade att värmesystemet Energy well var mest fördelaktig ur både energi och kostnad perspektiv. Den årliga köpta energiförbrukningen var lägre än värmesystemet (Eq aggregat) med en motströmsvärmeväxlare. Driftkostnaden var lägre än Eq aggregat, installations-kostnaderna var lägre än Eq aggregat och slutlig var livscykelkostnaden lägre än värme-systemet (Eq aggregat) med motströmsvärmeväxlare. Men underhållskostnaden var högre än värmesystemet Eq aggregat. Slutsatserna för de teoretiska undersökningarna gav bättre värden för värmesystemet Energy well. Vilket innebär att Energy well är mest fördelaktig utifrån energi- och kostnads perspektiv. Däremot ger värmesystemet med motströmsvärmeväxlare en lägre risk att ett driftfel inträffar i verkligheten.A comparing study between two different heating systems has been accomplished. The analysis has been conducted with an apartments building as a reference project. The building is located in the municipality of Södertälje. The goal of the analysis is to determine which of the heating system is beneficial for older apartment buildings in terms of energy and cost. The systems that have been treated are a central heating system with a counterflow heat exchanger and a central heating system with an exhaust air heat pump. The central heating system (Eq unit) is a central exhaust- and supply air system with heat recovery. The system uses a counterflow heat exchanger to transfer the heat energy between the exhaust- and supply air. The central heating system (Energy well) is the latest technical solution of a central exhaust air system. The system recovers heat from exhaust air by condensing exhaust air heat pumps. The heat pumps are in an exhaust air chamber and it´s placed on the attic floor. The recovered heat energy sends then to the mechanical room to heat up the water system. The analysis has been accomplished by using theoretical energy- and cost calculations, interviews and data collection. The energy calculations are based on an energy balance equation to determine the bought energy consumption. The cost calculation is based on a life cycle cost equation and a cost equation per produced heat energy. The results of both heating systems have been compared with each other. The results showed that the heating system Energy well was most beneficial in both energy and cost perspective. The annual consumption of bought energy was lower each year than the heating system (Eq unit) with a counterflow heat exchanger. The operating costs of the system were lower than Eq unit, the installation costs were lower than Eq unit and final was the life cycle cost less than the heating system (Eq unit) with counterflow heat exchanger. But the service cost was higher than the heating system Eq unit. The conclusion of the theoretical investigations gave better values for the heating system Energy well. This means than Energy well is most beneficial from the energy and cost perspectives. Contrariwise has the heating system with counterflow heat exchanger a lower risk of an operational failure to occur in reality.

Full textAbstract:
Byggnader i Sverige står för en stor del av landets totala energianvändning och det är därför viktigt att man försöker hitta energieffektiviseringar kring detta område. Ibland kan det vara enklare än man tror att komma på billiga energibesparande lösningar. En självklar sak är att termodynamikens andra lag även gäller avlopp. Eftersom avlopp i hus är öppna system, exponerade mot bistra uteklimatet genom hål eller små skorstenar i taket och det kommunala avloppsystemet, så borde det rimligtvis försvinna värmeenergi från huset även där. Man kan tänka sig att det sker kallras på vintern eller ett luftflöde som drar igenom husets avloppssystem. Detta drag borde kyla ner avloppsystemet. Vi kunde konstatera med hjälp av luftflödesmätare att detta drag på grund av skorstenseffekter ofta är riktat så att det kommer in kall luft från det kommunala avloppssystemet och ut igenom avluftningen på taket. Durgo är ett företag som tillverkar avluftningsventiler. Avluftningsventilen fungerar som så att den bara tar in luft när det blir undertryck i avloppet. Därmed kommer det inte ut någon illaluktande luft från avloppet vilket gör att man kan ha avluftningen installerad inomhus exempelvis på en vind. Om man sätter en avluftningsventil istället för att ha en öppen genomföring via taket sätter man stopp för det drag som kommer från kommunens avloppsnät. Därmed blir det minskad avkylning vid kall väderlek i husets avloppsledningar. Avloppsledningar i hus kan ofta vara oisolerade, även om de kan befinna sig i mer eller mindre isolerade utrymmen så kyler de ner konstruktionen och närliggande rum. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att ta reda på om det går att spara energi med en avluftningsventil. Vi bygger en experimentanläggning för att simulera energiåtgången. Experimentanläggningen består av två isolerade tankar, en luftad med avluftningsventil, den andra med öppen skorsten. Sen gör vi två olika typer av experiment där vi mäter temperaturen i tankarna. Första sättet tittar vi på hur snabbt vatten avkyls i två isolerade tankar där ena tanken är ventilerad som om det vore ett traditionellt avluftat avloppssystem och den andra tanken är ventilerad med en avluftningsventil. Andra sättet jämför vi hur mycket energi det går att upprätthålla en viss temperatur i dessa isolerade tankar. På så sätt kan vi enkelt se om det finns skillnader mellan de olika systemen. Vårt förväntade resultat var att man skulle spara energi om man använde sig av en avluftningsventil. Efter att vi gjort våra experiment kunde man se att vår hypotes mycket väl stämde överens med verkligheten. Vårt experiment visar att ju kallare det är utomhus desto större energibesparing gör man med en avluftningsventil. Energibesparingen kan bli runt 13 kWh per meter avloppsrör och år vilket skulle kunna motsvara 1-2 % per år av den totala uppvärmningskostnaden i ett hus beroende på hur många meter man har. I ett flerbostadshus med 84 lägenheter med 45 % effektgrad av värmeåtervinningen från spillvatten blir energisbesparingen ca 10 000 kWh/år då spillvattentemperaturen höjs med en grad. En avluftningsventil är en mycket billig investering och har dessutom flera andra fördelar än att man sparar energi. Dock måste man tillse att den monteras på rätt sätt så den inte läcker ut avloppsgas.Buildings in Sweden account for a large proportion of the country’s total energy consumption and it is therefore important to try and find energy efficiencies around this area. Sometimes it can be easier than you think to get cheap energy saving solutions. One obvious thing is that the second law of thermodynamics also applies for sewerage. Because the sewage in houses are open systems, exposed to the harsh outdoor climate through holes or small chimneys on the roof and the municipal sewer system, then it should be reasonable that heat energy disappears from the house too. One could imagine that there are cold drafts in the winter or an airflow that pulls through the building's drainage system. This flow should cool down the drains. We could conclude with the aid of an airflow meter that these flows because of the chimney effects often are directed so that cool air flows from the municipal sewage system and out through the vent on the roof. Durgo is a company that manufactures air admittance valves. This valve works so that it only takes in air when under pressure in the sewer system. Thus, it will not print any foul air from the sewer which means that you can have the vent installed indoors, for example in an attic. If you put an air admittance valve instead of having an opening through the roof you put a stop to this airflow. Thus it becomes reduced cooling during cold weather in sewer systems. Drainage pipes in houses are often uninsulated, although they can be in more or less isolated areas and could cool down the construction and nearby rooms. The purpose of this thesis is to find out if it is possible to save energy with an air admittance valve. We built an experimental facility to simulate the energy consumption. The experimental facility consists of two insulated tanks, aerated with an air admittance valve, the other with an open chimney. Then we make two different types of experiments in which we measure the temperature in the tanks. First way, we look at how quickly the water is cooled down in two insulated tanks where one tank is vented as if it were a traditional vented sewer system and the second tank is ventilated with an air admittance valve. Second way, we compare how much energy it is possible to maintain at a certain temperature in the insulated tanks. In this way, we can easily see if there are differences between the various systems. Our expected results were that youwould save energy if you used an air admittance valve. After we made our experiments we could see that our hypothesis very well matched reality. Our experiment shows that the colder it is outside, the greater energy savings you do with an air admittance valve. Energy savings can be around 13 kWh per meter sewer pipe and year, which could equate to 1-2% per year of the total heating cost of a house depending on how many meters you have. In an apartment building with 84 apartments with 45% power level of heat recovery from waste water, the energy saving will be about 10 000 kWh / year because the waste water temperature becomes one degree higher. An air admittance valve is a very cheap investment and it offers several benefits beyond saving energy. However, one must ensure that it is installed properly so it does not leak emission.

Full textAbstract:
I dagens samhälle ligger stort fokus på energianvändningen för bostäder och kommersiella fastigheter. Energianvändningen beskriver inte bara en byggnads energibehov, utan också miljö- och ekonomiska aspekter. Flerbostadshus är en del av Sveriges bostad- och servicesektor, som utgör 40 % av Sveriges totala energianvändning (Henning, 2017). Ventilationssystem i flerbostadshus utgör således en betydande del av fastighetens energianvändning och måste därför ständigt effektiviseras för att tjäna ett hållbart samhälle. I nuläget är den verkliga energianvändningen för ett flertal av JM:s driftsatta FTX-aggregat (till- och frånluftssystem med värmeåtervinning) okänd. Detta på grund av att tillgängliga energiberäkningar och deklarationer redovisar byggnadens totala energianvändning uppdelat i fyra huvudkategorier; uppvärmning, komfortkyla, tappvatten och byggnadens fastighetsenergi. Energianvändningen för ventilationssystemet framgår inte specifikt från dessa beräkningar, utan delas in i kategorierna uppvärmning och byggnadens fastighetsenergi. Rapporten undersöker, under perioden mars – juni 2018, energianvändningen för totalt elva stycken FTX-aggregat i två av JM:s projekt i Stockholm, Kista Torn och Nya Kvarnen 2. Undersökningens syfte är att försöka beräkna den verkliga energianvändningen för dessa FTX-aggregat. Energiberäkningar har genomförts med värden hämtade från egna samt tidigare utförda mätningar, som jämförts med projekterade värden. Resultatet indikerar att den genomsnittliga energianvändningen för FTX-aggregaten i Kista Torn är ca 120 000 kWh/år. Den större delen av energianvändningen går åt till att värma tilluften. Undersökningen visar på att den genomsnittliga temperaturverkningsgraden är ca 7 % lägre än den projekterade verkningsgraden. De beräkningar som genomförts visar även att uppvärmningskostnaden har ökat med ca 150 000 kr/år, i jämförelse med de projekterade värdena. Det beror till stor del på den minskade temperaturverkningsgraden, men också på grund av förändrade luftflöden i aggregaten. Undersökningen i Nya Kvarnen 2 har inte kunnat göras lika omfattande. Beräkningarna som genomförts här tyder på att energianvändningen uppgår till ca 61 000 kWh/år och aggregat. Tillförlitligheten av beräkningarna störs dock av att inga egna mätningar kunde utföras, att dokumentationen var bristfällig, samt att övervakningssystemet SCADA redovisade orimliga värden. Slutsatsen för rapporten indikerar att den verkliga energianvändningen för FTX-aggregaten generellt är högre än vad som tidigare projekterats. Energianvändningen varierar markant beroende på luftflöden och temperaturverkningsgrad. Störst påverkan på energianvändningen har dock temperaturverkningsgraden. Det visade sig att temperaturverkningsgraden vara svår att bestämma, då många felkällor och faktorer påverkar framtagningen, samt att resultatet varierar beroende på vald mätmetod. För bättre kontroll på energianvändning rekommenderas fler och mer kontinuerligt genomförda mätningar. Alternativt skulle övervakningsprogrammet SCADA kunna användas i större utsträckning för beräkning av energianvändning, förutsatt att precisionen och placering av temperaturgivare förbättras.In today's society the energy use within residential and commercial real estate is of great importance. Energy use does not only describe a building's energy needs, but also its environmental and economic aspects. Apartment buildings are a part the Swedish residential and service sector, which constitutes 40 % of Sweden's total energy use (Henning, 2017). The ventilation system in apartment buildings makes up a significant part of the property's energy use, it must therefore continuously be improved to work towards a more sustainable society. The actual energy use for several of JM's powered air assemblies is unknown today. Energy calculations and declarations show that the building's total energy use is divided into four main categories; heating, comfort cooling, tap water and property energy. The energy use of the ventilation system is not made apparent in these aforementioned calculations since it is distrubuted into two of the main categories, heating and property energy. The report examines the energy use for a total of eleven air assemblies within two of JM's projects in Stockholm, Kista Torn and Nya Kvarnen 2. The purpose of the study is to find the actual energy use of these air assemblies. Energy calculations will be carried out using values taken from our own and previously performed measurements, which will be compared to expected projected data. The result indicate that the average energy use of the air assemblies in Kista Tower is approximately 120 000 kWh/year. The majority of the energy use goes to heating the supply air. The study shows that the average heat recovery efficiency is circa 7 % lower than the projected efficiency. The calculations show that the cost of heating has increased by approximately 150 000 SEK/year compared to projected data. This is largely due to the reduced heat recovery efficiency but partly due to changes in the airflow within the air assemblies. The study made in Nya Kvarnen 2 was not as extensive, although calculations of energy use have been carried out. These calculations show an energy use of approximately 61 000 kWh/year for each separate air assembly. The reliability of these numbers is considered low because no control measurements could be made. The documentation was inadequate along with the monitoring system, SCADA, which reported unrealistic values. The conclusion of the report shows that the actual energy use of the air assemblies is in general higher than expected. The energy use varies depending on the airflow and heat recovery efficiency, however the greatest impact comes from the heat recovery efficiency in the air assemblies. Heat recovery efficiency was proven difficult to determine because of the multiple sources and factors affecting the measurement. This made the results fluctuate greatly depending on the method chosen of calculating the heat recovery efficiency. To oversee the actual energy use in these air assemblies, more frequent measurements are recommended. Alternatively, the SCADA monitoring program could be used to calculate the energy use, but to do so the accuracy and placement of temperature sensors needs to be improved.

Full textAbstract:
För att tillgodose framtidens växande behov av energi och samtidigt bidra till en långsiktigt hållbar energitillförsel krävs resurs- och energieffektivisering inom flera sektorer. Inte minst inom industrin som år 2016 stod för mer än 50 procent av det globala energibehovet. Tillvaratagandet av befintliga resurser såsom spillvärme från tryckluftsproduktion är en möjlig effektiviseringsåtgärd. Till grund för examensarbetet ligger ett önskemål från koncernen Sandvik AB att utreda besparingspotential och kostnader för reinvestering i en av industrins kompressorcentraler, Götvalsverket. Reinvesteringen avser två nya kompressorer vars spillvärme integreras i industrins befintliga närvärmesystem och möjliggör för minskade resurs- och energikostnader samt utsläpp av CO2. Arbetet syftar till att analysera olika kompressorlösningar utifrån ett ekonomiskt och miljömässig perspektiv. Detta görs med hjälp av insamlad data, känslighetsanalyser och lönsamhetskalkyler med tillhörande LCC. Målet är att kunna besvara olika frågeställningar rörande total investeringskostnad, energi- och resursbesparing samt utsläppsreducering. Två fall av produktion undersöks, dels vid drift enligt Götvalsverkets befintliga produktionstid och dels med en optimerad drifttid för kompressorenheterna. En litteraturstudie har också genomförts där flera studier visar att tryckluft är ett dyrt alternativ för energiproduktion och att implementering av effektiviseringsåtgärder, däribland återvinning av spillvärme, därför kan vara väl grundade investeringar. Även andra fördelar kan kopplas till energieffektivisering, exempelvis förbättrad produktion och arbetsmiljö för anställda. Resultatet av arbetet visade att särskilt ett kompressoralternativ stod ut från de övriga ur både en ekonomisk- och miljömässig synpunkt. Detta alternativ erbjöd inte den billigaste investeringen men däremot var mängden återvunnen värme så pass mycket större än för andra alternativ, att energibesparingen minskade återbetalningstiden drastiskt. Tillvaratagande av befintliga resurser som spillvärme, tillsammans med industrins minskade energianvändning, anses vara en nödvändighet för att kunna säkerställa välmående hos både människor, djur och natur i framtiden.In order to meet the growing demand for energy in the future, while contributing to a long-term sustainable energy supply, resource and energy efficiency measures are required within several sectors. In 2016 the industry sector accounted for more than 50 percent of the global power demand. The use of existing resources, such as waste heat from compressed air production, is a possible efficiency measure. Behind this thesis work is a request from the Sandvik AB Group to estimate savings potential and reinvestment costs in one of the industry's compressor centers, Götvalsverket. The reinvestment refers to two new compressors whose waste heat is integrated into the industry's existing district heating system and allows for reduced resource and energy costs as well as a reduction of CO2-emissions. This work aims to investigate different compressor alternatives from an economic- and environmental perspective. This is done using collected data, a sensitivity analysis and profitability calculations with an attached LCC-analysis. The aim is to answer various questions regarding total investment cost, energy and resource saving as well as emission reduction. Two cases in production are investigated. The first according to the existing operation hours in Götvalsverket and the second case with an optimized operating time for the compressor units. A literature review has also been conducted where several studies show that compressed air is an expensive alternative to energy production and that implementation of efficiency measures, including waste heat recovery, can be well-founded investments. Other benefits can also be linked to energy efficiency, such as improved production and an improved work environment for employees. The result of the work showed that one alternative in particular stood out from the other compressor solutions, both from an economic and environmental point of view. This option did not offer the cheapest investment but the amount of recovered waste heat was much larger than for the other alternatives and therefore, energy savings reduced the payback period drastically. The utilizing of existing resources such as waste heat, together with the industry sector’s reduced energy consumption, is considered a necessity in order to ensure the well-being of people, animals and nature in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The high energy use in the European building stock is attributable to the large share of old buildings with poor energy performance. Energy renovation of buildings is therefore vital in the work towards energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact in the EU. Yet, the strategies and energy system implications of this work have not been made clear, and the rate of building renovation is currently very low. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the economic and environmental aspects of energy renovation strategies, with two main objectives: Renovation of Swedish district heated multi-family houses, including life-cycle cost and environmental analysis and impact on the local energy system; Renovation of European residential and office buildings, including life-cycle cost and environmental analysis and influence of climatic conditions. Buildings typical for the respective regions and the period of construction 1945-1970 were simulated, in order to determine the feasibility and energy saving potential of energy renovation measures in European climates. A variety of systems for heating, cooling and ventilation were studied, as well as solar energy systems, with focus on heat pumps, district heating, low-temperature heating systems and air heat recovery. Compared to normal building renovation, energy renovation can often reduce the life-cycle costs and environmental impact. In renovation of typical European office buildings, as well as Southern European multi-family houses, more ambitious renovation levels can also be more profitable. Exhaust air heat pumps can be cost-effective complements in district heated multi-family houses, while ventilation with heat recovery is more expensive but also more likely to reduce the primary energy use. From a system perspective, simple exhaust ventilation can reduce the primary energy use in the district-heating plant as much as an exhaust air heat pump, due to the lower electricity use.Byggnadssektorn står för omkring 40 % av den totala energianvändningen i EU. Den höga energianvändningen i Europeiska byggnader kan till stor del tillskrivas den stora andelen gamla byggnader med dålig energiprestanda. Energirenovering av byggnader, eller energieffektivisering genom renovering, kan därför anses utgöra en central del i arbetet mot EU:s klimat- och energimål för år 2030. Trots detta är det ännu inte helt klarlagt vilka strategier som ska tillämpas för att uppnå detta och hur det påverkar energisystemet, och i nuläget är renoveringstakten fortfarande väldigt låg. Målet med denna avhandling är att undersöka ekonomiska och miljömässiga aspekter av strategier för energirenovering, såväl byggnadsskalsåtgärder som aktiva system, för typiska bostads- och kontorsbyggnader i Sverige och i andra Europeiska regioner. Mer specifikt har arbetet följande två inriktningar: Renovering av svenska, fjärrvärmevärmda flerfamiljshus, inklusive livscykelkostnadsanalys och livscykelmiljöanalys samt påverkan på det lokala energisystemet; Renovering av Europeiska bostads- och kontorsbyggnader, inklusive livscykelkostnadsanalys och livscykelmiljöanalys samt påverkan av klimatförutsättningar. Byggnader typiska för respektive region och byggnadsperioden 1945-1970 modellerades och användes i simuleringar för att fastställa den övergripande möjligheten och energibesparingspotentialen för olika renoveringsåtgärder i Europeiska klimat. En rad system för värme, kyla och ventilation studeras, samt solenergisystem, med fokus på värmepumpar, fjärrvärme, lågtemperaturvärmesystem och värmeåtervinning ur frånluft. Jämfört med renovering av byggnader utan energieffektiviseringsåtgärder kan energirenovering i många fall minska såväl livscykelkostnaden som miljöpåverkan. Vid renovering av typiska Europeiska kontorsbyggnader lönar det sig mer att renovera ner till ett uppvärmningsbehov på 25 kWh/(m²∙år) än 45 kWh/(m²∙år), då den minskade kostnaden för köpt energi väger upp den ökade kostnaden för isolering. För flerfamiljshus i södra Europa kan mer ambitiösa mål gällande värmebehov också vara lönsamma, medan en mer måttlig nivå är lämplig för småhus. Solvärme- eller solelsystem kan användas för att minska byggnaders miljöpåverkan. Utan subventioner eller inmatningstariff för överskottsel kan det bli svårt att få lönsamhet i dessa system för kontorsbyggnader i Nord- och Centraleuropa samt för småhus. För flerfamiljshus kan solenergisystem dock sänka den totala livscykelkostnaden, såväl i södra som i norra Europa. Värmeåtervinning och lågtemperaturvärmesystem visade sig båda ha större inverkan i kallare klimat. Lågtemperaturvärmesystem förbättrar värmefaktorn för värmepumpar, i synnerhet när uppvärmningsbehovet är stort i förhållande till varmvattenbehovet. Vid renovering av byggnader med vattenburna radiatorer kan konvertering till tilluftsradiatorer sänka framledningstemperaturen i värmesystemet. I svenska flerfamiljshus kan frånluftsvärmepump vara ett kostnadseffektivt komplement till fjärrvärme, medan från- och tilluftsventilation med värmeåtervinning är dyrare men mer sannolikt att ge en minskad primärenergianvändning. I ett systemperspektiv kan frånluftsventilation utan värmeåtervinning minska primärenergianvändningen i fjärrvärmeverket lika mycket som en frånluftsvärmepump, tack vare den lägre elanvändningen.

Full textAbstract:
La récupération de chaleur dans les véhicules est une solution prometteuse permettant de réduire la consommation du moteur et de ses émissions. Les fortes contraintes de poids, compacité et coût présentes dans le domaine automobile empêchent l’intégration d’un système de récupération de chaleur dans le véhicule. Une solution proposée dans ce travail consiste en un système de multi-génération appelé ReverCycle. Ce dernier fonctionne avec trois modes: climatisation à compression de vapeur, cycle de Rankine Organique (ORC) et cycle de réfrigération à éjecteur. Le système peut assurer un seul mode de fonctionnement à la fois. Les avantages du système sont sa compacité et son coût réduit étant donné la possibilité d’exploiter les composants du système de climatisation déjà présents dans le véhicule. En effet, le compresseur scroll de la climatisation peut être converti en machine réversible compresseur/turbine et le condenseur peut être mutualisé pour les trois modes de fonctionnement. Une double démarche de modélisation et d’expérimentation a été menée pour évaluer le potentiel de réduction de la consommation de ReverCycle et pour vérifier sa faisabilité technique. Un modèle global du véhicule a été développé pour reproduire les conditions de fonctionnement dynamique du véhicule et pour décrire l’interaction entre ses différents sous-systèmes. Le modèle a ensuite permis de calculer le gain en consommation moyenné sur une année pour différentes régions climatiques. Deux différentes architectures de véhicules ont été étudiées : un véhicule conventionnel et un véhicule hybride série. Pour un véhicule conventionnel, le gain en consommation maximal est obtenu dans un climat océanique (e.g. Paris) avec une valeur de 2,1% avec un démarrage à chaud du moteur et 1,3% avec un démarrage à froid. Le cycle de conduite de référence pour l’évaluation du gain est le cycle WLTC (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Cycles). Dans le cas du véhicule hybride série, le gain en consommation maximal est obtenu dans un climat continental (e.g. Moscou) avec une valeur de 2,2% avec un démarrage à chaud du moteur et 1,2% avec un démarrage à froid. La réalisation d’une preuve de concept de ReverCycle a permis de valider sa faisabilité technique. Les essais se sont focalisés surtout sur le mode de fonctionnement en ORC. Les résultats des essais ont montré un rendement maximal de récupération pour le cycle de 3,9% sur un point de fonctionnement stabilisé. Le rendement maximal moyenné sur un cycle dynamique, représentatif des conditions opératoires sur un véhicule conventionnel, a été de 3,3%In a light duty vehicle, waste heat recovery is a promising solution for reducing engine fuel consumption and emissions. The strong compactness, weight and cost requirements of the automotive sector are preventing the integration of waste heat recovery systems in vehicles. This work is proposing as a possible solution a multi-generation system called hereafter ReverCycle. ReverCycle is a system with three operating modes: vapor compression air conditioning, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and ejector refrigeration cycle. The system can provide one function at a time. ReverCycle advantages are its compactness and cost since it is possible to exploit the vehicle air conditioning components. This means that the air conditioning scroll compressor is converted into a reversible compressor/expander machine and the condenser is mutualized for the three operating modes. The calculation of the fuel economy and the technical feasibility of the system are investigated combining a modeling approach with experimental activity. A global vehicle model reproduces the vehicle dynamic working conditions and the interaction between the different vehicle sub-systems. The model estimates the annual average fuel economy for different climatic regions. Two different vehicle architectures are investigated: a conventional vehicle and a series hybrid vehicle. For a conventional vehicle the maximum fuel economy is obtained in an oceanic climate ( e.g. Paris) with a 2.1% improvement at a hot start initial condition for the engine and 1.3% improvement at a cold start initial condition. The reference driving cycle for the fuel economy evaluation is the WLTC (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Cycles). For a series hybrid vehicle the maximum fuel economy is obtained in a continental climate ( e.g. Moscow) with a 2.2% improvement at a hot start initial condition for the engine and 1.2% improvement at a cold start initial condition. The realization of ReverCycle proof of concept has allowed validating its technical feasibility. Experimental tests have mainly focused on the ORC operating mode. The experimental results show that the maximum cycle efficiency is 3.9% for a steady-state point. The average maximum cycle efficiency over a dynamic cycle, equivalent to a typical conventional vehicle operating mode, is 3.3%

Dans ces habitations fortement isolées et particulièrement étanches à l'air, les besoins de chauffage sont très faibles et peuvent être couverts par une source de chaleur d'origine renouvelable, telle que le bois énergie. En outre, l'utilisation d'une ventilation performante s'impose comme étant un critère essentiel pour assurer la bonne qualité de l'air intérieur et peut même devenir l'unique vecteur de chauffage en apportant l'appoint de chaleur sur l'air insufflé dans les différentes pièces de l'habitation. Le système présenté dans cette étude propose ainsi de combiner les avantages d'un appareil de chauffage au bois de petite puissance, ici un poêle à granulés de bois, et ceux d'une ventilation à récupération de chaleur sur l'air extrait, grâce à un conduit échangeur intégré à la cheminée du poêle et relié au réseau de soufflage de la ventilation. Développé en partenariat avec l'industriel POUJOULAT, spécialisé dans la fabrication de conduits de cheminée métalliques, ce conduit échangeur permet de récupérer sur l'air neuf une partie de la chaleur initialement perdue par les fumées et de la distribuer dans toutes des zones de vie de l'habitation, même les plus éloignées de l'appareil au bois. Après avoir défini la configuration de couplage à adopter pour assurer le bon fonctionnement de l'ensemble et garantir à la fois la sécurité et le confort des occupants, les performances de plusieurs prototypes de conduit échangeur sont caractérisées expérimentalement. Les résultats obtenus lors des essais en laboratoire permettent alors d'orienter l'évolution des prochains prototypes et de souligner la nécessité de travailler avec un poêle à granulés de bois dont le cycle de combustion est étanche. Un modèle mathématique est également développé pour prédire les performances du dernier prototype de conduit échangeur à triple paroi non isolé sur sa surface extérieure et sa validation est obtenue suite au bon accord entre les résultats calculés et ceux mesurés lors des essais. L'ensemble du système combiné est ensuite installé dans deux habitations à basse consommation d'énergie situées près de Poitiers. L'exploitation des températures et des consommations recueillies pendant la première saison de chauffe montre la bonne tenue du système combiné, ses limites, ainsi que ses conditions d'appropriation par les occupants, dont le comportement apparaît jouer un rôle prédominant dans la réduction des consommations énergétiques.

Full textAbstract:
Modern energy saving technologies are become increasingly mature, easier to implement and financially profitable. Both the European Union and the Swedish government have directives with goals regarding energy savings for the year 2020 and 2030. Here, making buildings more energy efficient plays a large role as around 40% of the total energy usage in Europe can be related to buildings. Constructing new, nearly zero energy houses is currently very popular, but as a vast majority of all buildings in a country like Sweden are older buildings, built before 1980, a majority of the used energy will come from these buildings. Hence, there is plenty of incentive for carrying out energy saving actions and investments in older buildings. From previous research and interviews with energy consultants, it can be concluded that energy saving actions are not being carried to the extent that is possible. This thesis aims to find out why this is and mainly what the main obstacles are when implementing energy saving solutions in older buildings. A case study, consisting of eight interviews with energy consultants and real estate owners was carried out in order to get an understanding of the current situation and the different stakeholders views on this issue. The results showed that, at least in the represented cases, there is a will among real estate owners for moving forward with energy saving. An understanding has also recently emerged where most real estate owners realize that there are great financial incentives connected to implementing energy saving solutions to current, older buildings. However, increased will of making a change has not yet resulted in a majority of buildings having installed energy saving solutions. One factor for this is that each building is its own individual case and therefore needs to be handled individually due to different conditions and are therefore suitable for different energy saving actions. Other factors include lack of technical and financial understanding among some real estate owners, slow decision making processes and ownership types. The research explores theories related to decision makings to provide a comprehensive overview regarding the current situation of energy saving in Sweden, as well as a contribution to the theoretical literature regarding decision makingModern teknik inom energibesparing blir allt mer mognare, lättare att implementera och finansiellt lönsamt. Både den europeiska unionen och den svenska regeringen har direktiv med mål för energibesparing för år 2020 och 2030. Här spelar byggnader en viktig roll, då byggnader står för ca 40 % av den totala energianvändningen i Europa. Att bygga nya, nära noll energi byggnader är för närvarande väldigt populärt. Men i ett land som Sverige, där majoriteten av alla byggnader är äldre byggnader, kommer majoriteten av energianvändningen fortfarande från dessa. Därav finns det stora incitament till att genomföra energieffektiviserande åtgärder på äldre byggnader i Sverige. Från tidigare studier och intervjuer med energikonsulter kan det fastslås att energibesparande åtgärder ej genomförs i den grad som det är möjligt. Målet med denna rapport är att utröna varför det är så samt vilka huvudsakliga hinder som kan relateras till energibesparing i äldre byggnader. För att få en överblick av den befintliga situationen samt hur olika intressenter ser på denna fråga genomfördes en fallstudie bestående av åtta intervjuer med energikonsulter och fastighetsägare. Resultaten från studien pekade på att det finns en vilja bland fastighetsägare att gå vidare med energibesparande åtgärder. På senare tid har även en förståelse vuxit fram bland fastighetsägare där man inser att det även finns stora finansiella incitament med att implementera energibesparande åtgärder på äldre byggnader. Detta har dock ännu ej lett till att energibesparande åtgärder genomförts på en majoritet av befintliga byggnader. En anledning till detta är att varje byggnad måste hanteras individuellt då alla har olika förutsättningar och därmed lämpar sig för olika energibesparande lösningar. Andra faktorer inkluderar teknisk och ekonomisk kunskapsbrist bland vissa fastighetsägare, långsamma beslutsprocesser och ägarstrukturer. Studien nyttjar teorier relaterade till beslutsfattning för att ge läsaren en överblick av den befintliga situationen kring energibesparing i Sverige. I tillägg bidrar studien till den teoretiska litteraturen om beslutsfattning.

Os testes de caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6MIN) e 400 metros (TC400M) s?o utilizados como uma alternativa pr?tica e de baixo custo para avaliar a aptid?o aer?bia e o desempenho obtido nesses testes est? relacionado com n?veis de sa?de, capacidade funcional e risco de mortalidade. Al?m do desempenho nos testes, a avalia??o cardiovascular por meio da frequ?ncia card?aca (FC) de recupera??o (FCR) e da variabilidade da frequ?ncia card?aca (VFC) p?s-exerc?cio t?m sido utilizados como informa??o de n?veis de sa?de e risco de mortalidade. O Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) pode aumentar a capacidade aer?bia, al?m de modificar o controle auton?mico. Objetivos: O objetivo foi analisar o desempenho e marcadores auton?micos entre idosas praticantes de TCC e sedent?rias em testes de caminhada indiretos. M?todos: Foram avaliadas 36 idosas, sendo 18 praticantes de TCC, com tempo de pr?tica de pelo menos 6 meses e n?o mais de 1 ano e que realizassem apenas o TCC, e 18 idosas sedent?rias. Para o TC6MIN, os sujeitos seguiram as recomenda??es do protocolo sugerido pela American Thoracic Society (ATS, 2002), e para o TC400M foi utilizado o protocolo do estudo de Simonsick et al.2001. A FCR foi considerada como a diferen?a absoluta entre a FC obtida ao final dos testes, e as FCs medidas no primeiro (FCR60 ) e segundo minuto (FCR120 ). O protocolo de coleta da VFC utilizado foi o recomendado pela Task Force (1996). Ap?s a constata??o da normalidade de distribui??o dos dados mediante teste de Shapiro Wilk, empregou-se o teste t de Student para amostra independentes ou Mann- Whitney caso n?o apresentasse normalidade, coeficiente de correla??o intraclasse (CCI; com 95% de intervalo de confian?a) e Bland- Altman (com 95% dos limites de concord?ncia). Resultados: O desempenho em ambos os grupos apresentou uma boa confiabilidade. As idosas do TCC obtiveram um melhor desempenho nos testes em compara??o com as sedent?rias. Al?m do mais, a FCR apresentou boa confiabilidade na em ambos os grupos, e a FCR das idosas do TCC apresentaram uma melhor reativa??o parassimp?tica quando comparadas com as idosas sedent?rias. Considerando a reprodutibilidade da VFC na an?lise linear e simb?lica, tanto nas idosas praticantes de TCC como nas idosas sedent?rias apresentaram boa confiabilidade. O comportamento da VFC n?o foi significante entre os grupos. Conclus?es: Foi encontrada uma boa confiabilidade no desempenho dos grupos avaliados, e nas vari?veis auton?micas podendo estar associados a intensidade subm?xima atingida em todos os testes. Al?m do mais, o desempenho obtido nos testes podem ser usados na obten??o de medidas confi?veis na avalia??o cardiorrespirat?ria, bem como a utiliza??o da FCR e da VFC parece garantir a confiabilidade dos dados utilizados para para medida do controle auton?mico card?aco. O TCC parece que favorece a um melhor desempenho em testes indiretos, al?m de uma melhor reativa??o parassimpatica considerando a FCR, mas, considerando a VFC n?o foi encontrada diferen?a significante entre as idosas

Full textAbstract:
Air-to-air heat recovery is a means of energy conservation in buildings. The plate type cross flow heat exchangers is predominantly used in the HVAC industry because of their low cost, low pressure drop, and medium to high thermal effectiveness. The two main objectives of the present research are to design, fabricate and commission a new low cost innovative heat recovery test facility, and to utilize the facility to evaluate the thermal performance of cross flow plate type heat exchanger. The heat recovery test facility was designed based on two existing North American standards for testing air-to-air heat recovery devices: ASHRAE Standard 84-1991 and CSA standard C439-00. The test facility uses two independent closed loop ducts that incorporate variable frequency drives to provide precise control of airflow. Thermocouple sensors were embedded in the plate heat exchanger allowing for a determination of the bulk air temperature distribution on both the cold and hot sides of the heat exchanger at a top, middle and bottom planes.
