Energy recovery in new and retrofitted heat pumps using a dedicated expander concept (EXP-HEAT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
In vapour-compression cycles (VCC) and more specifically in heat pumps, mechanical work is supplied to the compressor for increasing the pressure of the evaporated refrigerant. Heat is rejected in the condenser (effective heating at heating mode), for the condensation of the refrigerant, which is then expanded in a throttle valve (no power produced), in order to decrease its pressure, resulting to ...

"Advanced Floor Grids for Green Regional A/C New Concept of Design, Manufacturing and Installation in Ground Full Scale Demo" (AFLOG)
Start date: Nov 5, 2012, End date: Apr 4, 2014,
"Pax Floor and Cargo Floor configuration based on a new manufacturing process here called Progressive Roll Forming (PRF) of ThermoPlastic Carbon Reinforced Polimers (TPCRP) is presented. The process basically applies to seat rails and longerons. Raw material flows into the manufacturing device continuosly; one or more plane sheets, are progressively heated, bended and compacted each other by roll ...

Development of a Non-destructive Sensor to Determine Density Gradient of Ceramic Tiles During Pressing (Novapress)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
The occurence of density gradients in ceramic tiles during pressing is believed to be the main cause of defects during processing. Problems such as differential shrinkage and warpage typically arise leading to losses or down-grading of final products. Density gradients are caused by poor die design, bad practice and/or unsuitable particulate materials, with the resultant poor flow ability impactin ...
