Exploring active heat exchanger technology applied in substations of district heating systems for energy conservation

    Project Details

    Description

    The active heat exchanger is an innovative design of district heating units, so that normal operating conditions for radiators for space heating can be maintained and at the same time a reduction of the return water temperature to the district heating network is achieved by 10 - 15 °C. This project will explore the thermodynamic feasibility and energy saving potential of this design and provide data for the development of the proposed technology.

    The research includes the following three tasks:

    Task 1: Thermodynamic calculation on the ejector heat pump
    Task 2: Design and construct a small prototype unit of the active heat exchanger
    Task 3: Experimental study of the feasibility of the design of the active heat exchanger
