Shovadan is the underground room which, for a long time, has been used in several areas of Iran for heating and cooling … purposes. In the present work, Shovadan heating and cooling performance is experimentally investigated during a year. In the …

increased cooling setpoint, a decreased heating setpoint, or a decreased ventilation rate of the background system. Energy …

In this study, heating and cooling performances of counter-flow Ranque–Hilsch vortex tubes (RHVT) were experimentally … RBMTF can be successfully used for the determination of heating and cooling performances of counter-flow RHVT with different …

, especially for space heating and cooling, are closely linked to several weather variables, mainly air temperature. The analysis … temperature. Base temperature should be chosen to coincide with the minimum energy consumption. In this way, changes in heating … and cooling requirements between the reference and the future period are calculated and areas about to undergo large …

four of them commercial PCM, are tested. Since they are PCM to be used for heating and cooling applications they are … coupled to a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system such as heat pump. In these systems the PCM is embedded …

Purpose – The objective of this study is to highlight the questions arising in the design of district heating and … cooling systems (DHCSs) in a distributed generation context and to present a model to help find cost‐effective solutions … decentralized DHCSs design is developed and applied to two real case studies. Findings – Distributed cooling generation partly …

With the improvement of people's living standards all over the world, the demand for cooling (both space cooling and … refrigeration) continues to grow. The increase in cooling-related energy consumption has a growing impact on global climate change …. The importance of improving the energy efficiency of cooling systems is increasing. This paper introduces a series of …
