  3. 12. Free cooling and PVT integration in a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Christopher Pourier; [2023]
    Keywords : Ground-source heat pump; borehole; GSHP; photovoltaic thermal collector; PVT; free cooling; Ytjordvärmepump; borrhål; GSHP; solfångare; PVT; frikylning;

    Abstract : The performance of ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems can be negatively affected over time by soil temperature degradation of boreholes (BH) in heating dominated climates. Land area is scarce in the dense urban environments typical of multi-family houses (MFH) and can lead to accelerated degradation- in tight BH fields. READ MORE

  4. 13. Risk Factors of Food Loss and Waste, and Life Cycle Assessment of waste management strategies in the Brazilian Leafy Vegetable Supply Chain
