To fulfil the seasonal energy demand in buildings, a novel thermally-driven poly-generation
system is proposed based on organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and two-stage vapor …

In this study, an optimization control method based on knowledge and operational data was
investigated for a centralized water-cooling heat dissipation system in a data center. First, a …

Dehumidification of industrial flue gas with a membrane condenser requires cooling energy
so that the water in the flue gas will recover as it gets condensed due to the cooling process …

This research utilizes an ejector enhanced solar-air composite dual-source heat pump
(EDHP) system for water heating in residential buildings. The main advantage of the EDHP …

The compound parabolic concentrator is a promising technology for efficient solar irradiation
exploitation at low-and medium-temperature levels. This collector type can be used in a …

Current adsorption refrigeration systems are limited by dehumidification methods and
produce either cold water or cold dry air. The single cooling product greatly hinders their …

The efficient utilization of low-grade heat for air conditioning has been a topic of world
concern, especially for low-grade heat below 80℃. In this study, a novel coupled open and …

Absorption cycles are a very promising technology for the provision of heating or cooling.
Systems based on such cycles are capable of utilizing environmentally-friendly thermal …

Due to their low sensible heat loads, vapour compression refrigeration systems do not
effectively meet the sensible or latent heat load management requirements of nearly zero …

Latent cooling load generally accounts for a large portion of the total building cooling load,
however, the estimation or prediction of latent load is rather limited, obstructing the precise …
