Choose the best pipe for the heating system
Some of our customers wonder what is the best pipe for the heating system, copper or polypropylene, so it is necessary to know the advantages of each type of pipe. The heating system is certainly an extremely important starting point, because the comfort of the home depends largely on it. Because both types of pipe are mounted easily and quickly, the analysis will be based on the lifespan of ...

The economics of an active solar heating system
The American University of Armenia recently installed a shower system in the ground floor of its building. In this note we examine the economic viability of using an active solar system to heat the showers. Using conventional discounted cash flow analysis as well as two other economic assessments of the capital investment, we demonstrate that it is economically justifiable to invest in a solar ...

Why are fluoropolymers are used for the construction of industrial heat exchangers?
Right now, we are in the middle of summer, so heat is probably on your mind. Heat exchangers exist in all sorts of applications. Your heating system might use a metal heat exchanger to transfer heat. This could mean it’s made of carbon and stainless steel, copper, aluminum, or another metal. Low temperature plastic may also be used in the construction of the heat exchanger in a heating ...

Infloor Heating Systems Powered by Geothermal Energy - Case Study
Alternative energy continues to gain attention, and for good reason. Did you know the ground beneath your feet contains enough energy to heat and cool your home, and your domestic hot water? Heat stored in the ground can be used as a fuel source harnessed through geothermal heat pumps. More and more people are catching on to this clean, renewable, readily available energy resource and their ...

Diffusion of innovative heating systems in detached homes in Sweden
The Swedish homeowners' perception of Innovative Heating Systems (IHSs) was studied through a questionnaire survey. Most of the respondents were satisfied with their existing heating systems and were not planning to install a new one. They considered economic factors and functional reliability the most important factors in the choice of a heating system. Hence, economic policy instruments appear ...

Barriers towards reducing domestic energy consumption – findings of a study among social housing tenants
The aim of this study was to take a broad approach to understanding domestic energy consumption and identify difficulties in energy reduction. The study focused on a variety of factors, including barriers and motivators for behaviour change, comfort and comfort actions and knowledge about the heating system. Data collection was carried out with 55 social housing tenants in England using ...

Technical and economic analysis of gas-engine driven heat pump in China
In this paper, the primary energy ratio and economic benefit of five different heating systems are analysed. The results show that the gas-engine heat pump system has the advantages of high primary energy efficiency and favours environmental protection in contrast to the other four heating systems. At the same time, to improve the economic benefit of the energy saving and environmental protection ...

Price or performance?
I can recall many occasions over the past 10 years where I have been called out and inspected a faulty underfloor heating installation, I discovered that the underfloor heating systems generally have been designed¬¬ on the border of normal operation to, I assume, reduce the overall amount of the materials required, and thereby make the cost for the project more attractive against rival companies, ...

Robust reliability design of a nuclear system by multiple objective evolutionary optimisation
This paper proposes the use of multiple objective evolutionary algorithms and interval arithmetic for the robust reliability design of complex systems such as those employed in nuclear engineering. A numerical example, relative to the residual heat removal system of a nuclear power plant, is presented to illustrate the benefits of the approach.Keywords: decision making, interval arithmetic, ...

Railway Heating Systems - Case Study
Using the TBox RTU The TBox remote telemetry unit (RTU) products are currently used in many installations to monitor and automate railway heating systems that prevent build-up of ice and snow. Normally employed at electrical switch points, these systems ensure safety for reliable traffic operations. In addition to providing safety and reliability, heating systems can realise major savings ...

Thermodynamic analysis of a geothermal district heating system
Thermoeconomic analysis is considered a useful tool for investigators in engineering and other disciplines due to its methodology based on the quantities exergy, cost, energy and mass. This study deals with an investigation of capital costs and thermodynamic losses for devices in the Balcova Geothermal District Heating Systems (BGDHS). Thermodynamic loss rate-to-capital cost ratios are used for ...

Energy, exergy, thermoeconomic and sustainability analyses of a building heating system with a combi–boiler
The energy, exergy, thermoeconomic and sustainability analyses are applied to the building heating system with a natural gas–fired combi–boiler. The building area is considered as 90 m². Furthermore, the design and analysis of the natural gas installation of the building are done. Two different methodologies (Fine–HVAC and LowEx analyses) are used for energy analyses (heat loss and demand) of the ...

Effect of Low Pressure Generator temperature on the performance of double effect vapour absorption heat transformer
In this paper, the energy and exergy analysis of double–effect lithium bromide/water absorption heat transformer system is presented. All exergy destructed that exist in this system are calculated. In addition to the coefficient of performance and the exergy efficiency of the system, the quantum of exergy destructed of each component of the system is also estimated. The effect of Low Pressure ...

The Entropy Generation Minimisation based on the Revised Entropy Generation Number
In the present work, an improved Entropy Generation Minimisation (EGM) approach aiming at minimising the revised entropy generation number which is the non-dimensionalised entropy by the ratio of heat flow to the input temperature of the cold fluid is developed for a plate-fin heat exchanger design with multiple design variables with the help of genetic algorithm. It is found that the approach ...
