Sahoo, Animesh (author)Industrial refrigeration systems are known to consume approximately 17% of electrical energy, a figure that is projected to rise in the future. This high energy consumption contributes to global warming and environmental degradation since conventional sources of energy are typically utilized for electricity generation. Moreover, the energy...master thesis 2023

Hansen, Mathijs (author)The purpose of this research is to find an alternative to the natural gas-fueled heating systems of dwellings for the neighborhood of Westenholte. Reasons for replacing this system include the high GHG emissions, resulting from the combustion product of natural gas (CO2), in addition to its greenhouse effect. As a solution to replace the GHG...master thesis 2021

Perik, Reinout (author)Of the global energy demand, 20% can be allocated to residential energy demand. Most of this energy is produced by fossil fuels, which raises the importance of energy production in a more sustainable way. In order to do this on the level of residential heating applications, the Dutch government aims to make its residential neighborhoods natural...master thesis 2021

Ressa, Cesare (author)Compressors play an essential role in refrigeration. Recent industrial compressors are more efficient, less energy-demanding, and provide higher modularity than ever before. On the other hand, such innovation led to a higher degree of complexity of the equipment, which could undermine the reliability.Every compressor unit has sensors,...master thesis 2021

Kothari, V.V. (author)Decarbonisation can be done through various routes: reducing the final energy consumption by improving process conditions and efficiency, reusing waste heat and by an outright energy transition to renewable sources. In this study, the focus is on reusing waste heat. Heat pumps have the potential to drastically reduce energy requirements in the...master thesis 2020

van Senden, Jaap Jan (author)The global energy demand is growing, while climate change is demanding a sustainable way of generating this energy. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) can be a part of the solution for this problem. OTEC generates electricity by using the temperature difference between the surface water of the ocean and the water at 1000 meters depth as a...master thesis 2020

Moussa, Salah (author)Steel plants are one of the largest sources of waste heat. Waste heat recovery throughout the steelmaking process is not a new phenomenon. One of the sources of waste heat is found in the coke plant. Cokes are an essential part of steel production. During the coking process hot cokes are cooled down. Most coke plants in the world traditionally...master thesis 2019

Remmelts, Just (author)Nowadays, large scale district heating networks (DHNs) in the Netherlands do not reach their potential as a renewable heat supplier, as the thermal energy is often produced by fossil-fueled installations. By 2030, the share of DHNs in the total thermal energy supply will increase and the thermal energy will mainly be supplied by renewable...master thesis 2019

Wagenaar, Sjors (author)In some countries, drying processes use up to 20% of the total energy consumption. Within the agriculture sector, drying of food and flowering products is a necessary step in production. A lot of companies make use of hot air dryers where the heat is gained by burning natural gas. A novel method is to use a heat pump assisted drying systems...master thesis 2019

Leichsenring, Maaike (author)Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) uses the temperature difference between the surface and deep layers to generate electricity. The temperatures in the ocean hardly vary between day and night or between the seasons, which ensures a very constant energy production with OTEC. In order for OTEC to compete with the current forms of energy...master thesis 2019

Wapperom, Sander (author)There is a 95% certainty that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20thcentury [1]. Burning fossil fuels for energy is the dominant cause of greenhouse gas emissions. 32% of the Dutch energy supply is consumed by the built environment. The façade is the largest area of the building envelope. Consequently, the...master thesis 2019
