The present work analyzes the technical feasibility of solar-assisted heat pumps for swimming pool heating in South Brazil. The methodology is based on computer simulations for four configurations of heating systems for ...

A proper assessment of heating systems for swimming pools should evaluate the compromise between comfortlevel and the willingness to pay for it. The present work presents a multi-objective optimization of indirect solarassisted ...

Drying kinetics of tomato was studied by using heat pump dryer (HPD) and electric resistance dryers with parallel and crossed airflow. The performance of both systems was evaluated and compared and the influence of ...

Since the performance of conventional air source heat pump (ASHP) for electric vehicles (EVs) is apt to decline sharply in low ambient temperature, it will consume more electricity of the cell, and affect driving mileage ...

An experimental apparatus containing a domestic refrigerator coupled to a vertical hot water storage tank was used for energy recovery. The original condenser of the refrigerator was maintained, but modified with a concentric ...
