Flat-plate solar collectors have potential applications in HVAC system, industrial thermal process, and solar engineering. Flat-plate collectors are the most economical and popular in solar domestic heating water system ...

The objective of the work is to develop methods for minimizing the energy costs of chilled water systems through optimal control. The general approach includes the following tasks: 1) proposing a system of parametric ...

The process of designing a heating and cooling system for a commercial building usually proceeds from building design to design of an HVAC system that can meet the loads in the building. The purpose of this thesis is ...

The main objective of an evaporator in any refrigeration system is to extract thermal energy from a conditioned space by recirculating air through a refrigerated coil. However, when an air-cooled evaporator operates at ...

The benefits to a utility and to the environment of the installation of a large number of solar domestic hot water (SDHW) systems are identified and quantified. The environmental benefits of SDHW systems include reduced ...

Refrigerated warehouses play an essential role in the food delivery chain. The construction and operation of refrigerated storage is growing. Because of the relatively high energy intensity associated with the operation ...
