Innovative high efficiency phase change fluid based heat engine (UP-THERM)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

A simple and economic engine concept is proposed as an alternative to the conventional heat engine.The main innovative character of the project is determined by the conceptual approach toward technological solution of the challenging problems of heat engines with external heat supply. This approach includes the use of working fluids changing phase, with crucial benefits in terms of:• liquid workin ...

Manufacturing Error-free Goods at First Time (MEGAFIT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Today, Europe’s leading position in manufacturing of high-precision metal parts is being threatened by developed non-EU countries that catch up quickly on product quality at low cost. If no further action is taken, loss of jobs and GDP are at risk.To face global competition, a breakthrough is needed in tackling the following 4 challenges:1) High number of defects2) Many costly, energy consuming fi ...

Engine and turbine combustion of bioliquids for combined heat and power production (Bioliquids-CHP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

The combustion of plant oils in diesel engines, whether or not after esterification to “biodiesel”, is possible but for the future less desirable because they are derived from food crops (first generation biofuels). Fast pyrolysis liquids derived from ligno-cellulosic materials (second generation biofuel type), are superior in terms of sustainability. Combustion in prime movers like turbines or en ...
