Investigation of mechanical heat pump systems for heat upgrading applications
(2016-04-01)
Three high temperature heat pump systems based on vapor compression cycles are introduced and examined. Four fluids (water, cyclohexane, biphenyl and mercury) are selected and analysed thermodynamically as prospective ...
An integrated wind-powered energy system for residential applications in cold regions
(2021-09-01)
This thesis proposed an integrated direct wind-powered energy system that can provide drinking water, domestic hot water, space heating as well as electricity for residential applications of a remote community in a cold ...
Design of a residential air source heat pump for extremely cold climates
(2023-05-01)
Air source heat pumps are energy efficient systems suitable for space heating applications, however, their performance drastically degrades in low ambient temperatures. An innovative design is proposed in this thesis that ...
Design and analysis of a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic
(2023-08-01)
The purpose of this thesis was to propose and thermodynamically analyze a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic for heating, electricity, farming, fresh water, hot water and waste management. ...
Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems
(2022-10-01)
Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ...
