  1. 1. Evaluating sensor accuracy and repeatability in gasketed plate heat exchangers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Nils Engman; [2023]
    Keywords : Sensors; IoT; Heat Exchangers; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Alfa Laval has connected sensors to their gasketed plate heat exchangers (gphe) to extend their customer service offering. To develop this service further the flow through the GPHE is needed. In this thesis, the objective was to evaluate an inexpensive flow switch and two sensor kits that measure pressure and temperature. READ MORE

  2. 2. Energy simulations of apartment buildings using IDA ICE

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : Asim Mohammadusman Doddamani; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study presents an energy signature method for analyzing thermal inertia of apartment building located in Stockholm using IDA ICE software. The method involves analyzing the building’s consumption of energy hourly and calculating the temperature change rate of the building’s thermal mass. READ MORE

  3. 3. HEAT CONSUMPTION OPTIMIZATION IN 4TH GENERATION DISTRICT HEATING : Study on utilizing low temperature heat sources and heat stored in a house by varying indoor temperature

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Framtidens energi

    Author : Simon Karlsson; Farman Farman; [2023]
    Keywords : 4th Generation District Heating; Heat Pumps; Thermal Energy Storage; Optimization; Low Temperature Heat Sources; Thermal Inertia;

    Abstract : 4th generation district heating (4GDH) and varying the indoor temperature to store heat are both important concepts that can make it easier to implement more renewable energy and reduce costs of heating. This study looks at these concepts from a customer perspective using one building and looking at how energy can be stored and the performance of 4GDH. READ MORE

  4. 4. Occupancy-Based HVAC Control : Prerequisites, Problems and Possibilities

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Karl Mårtensson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Humans in developed countries spendthe majority of their lifetime in-doorsbut not in the same building at all times. Despite this, we expect all buildings to be comfortable and create a healthy indoor environment from the point we enter until we leave. READ MORE

  5. 5. Evaluation of natural materials in Sustainable Buildings : A potential solution to the European 2050 long-term strategy

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

    Author : Víctor de las Heras Reverte; [2021]
    Keywords : Straw-bale building; Rammed earth building; Sustainable construction; Natural Building Materials; Energy performance analysis; Energy performance optimization;

    Abstract : Today, buildings consume 40% of total energy demand in the EU and are responsible for 36% of GHG emissions. For this reason, and due to the delicate situation of climate change that planet Earth is experiencing, solutions are being sought to make the building sector more sustainable. READ MORE
