Modelling of wet compression in compression-resorption heat pumps

The ever-increasing power demand, the high scarcity of fossil fuel resources and the growing environmental pollution have pushed the development on technologies related to sustainable energy systems. Maximizing the energetic performance of industrial processes is a key aspect in this quest for sustainable<br/>energy management. A large share of...

Experimental Validation of Wet Compression with a Twin Screw Compressor Prototype

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...

Development of a wet screw compressor model operating with NH3-H2O-CO2

Energy consumption is still growing worldwide and due to the problems of global warming, sustainable developments become of more importance. Heat pumps are one of the technologies that can contribute to energy savings of industrial processes, for example by heat recovery from waste water streams. The focus of this research is to improve the...
