This paper presents the preliminary modelling perspectives of an ongoing project where a flexible simulation tool for component and system analysis of district heating consumer installations is developed. The simulation tool makes it possible to simulate district heating consumer installations containing water based central heating systems, domestic hot tap water systems, buildings as well as l...

Temperature measurement in microwave systems is essential for thermally driven processes, namely, catalytic reactions and ceramic sintering. Although, the application of direct thermometry methods, namely, thermocouples, have been commonly articulated in the available literature, however, contacted temperature measurement mechanisms have aroused concerns associated with the disruption of the el...

The basic concept in the design of buildings with zero energy consumption is, addition to high-quality thermal properties building envelope, also a correct and efficient system heating hot water preparation residential buildings. One concepts when designing systems is zone system. It that brings effective regulation according zones. In practice, question sometimes arises as whether individual r...

integrated energy systems utilizing renewable sources are sustainable and environmentally substitutes for conventional fossil-fired energy systems. a new multigeneration plant with two inputs, such as biomass and solar energy, and four useful outputs, such as cooling, heating, power, and distilled water, is presented and investigated in this paper. the proposed system includes evacuated tube so...

the goal of this research is the derivation of method for evaluation of efficiency improvement potential for district heating systems with focus on variable speed centrifugal pump. the effectiveness of the usage of the proportional pressure control is compared with the constant pressure control. this is why, energy calculation analyses have been realized for variable speed centrifugal pumps, an...

In our daily life, central heating systems are generally used in home and office heating. The majority of fuel used in these systems are either natural gas or coal. However, in some cases air-conditioners and electrical oil-radiators are preferred in the heating of small mediums. But, the cost of electrical based heating is much higher than the cost of natural gas or coal based heating. Conside...

Given the large energy consumption of energy heating for residential and commercial use in the world, optimising heating systems makes sense, both from an ecologic and an economic point of view. Therefore, this study evaluates five different space heating systems through a case study on a new housing project. The assessment comprises both economic factors (payback period as compared to a refere...
