Heat and cold recovery, a PV/ Thermal experiment: A case study done at the Coolworld Waalwijk cooling systems test facility

Coolworld Waalwijk, a cooling machines rental service experiences marginal growth due to the rise of cooling systems for temporarily use. Their testing facility is heavily occupied for testing systems up to 800 kW. Besides the willingness to more sustainable practices, the urge rises for implementation of new energy solutions to their 500 MWh...

Feasibility Study on Deep Seawater Solutions for Manado: ROTEC

Due to climate change and growing cities, water scarcity is becoming one of the futures biggest problems. On top of that, the population and prosperity of cities around the equator are growing fast. Meaning that the need for electricity, cooling and drinking water will grow fast in the following decades. ROTEC’s vision is that these growing...

In silico screening of metal-organic frameworks for adsorption-driven heat pumps and chillers

A computational screening of 2930 experimentally synthesized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is carried out to find the best-performing structures for adsorption-driven cooling (AC) applications with methanol and ethanol as working fluids. The screening methodology consists of four subsequent screening steps for each adsorbate. At the end of...
