RISSolar Assisted Heat Pump Systems: A Review of Existing Studies and Their Applicability to the Canadian Residential Sector
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Combining solar thermal collectors and heat pumps into a single solarassisted heat pump (SAHP) system is a promising technology for offsetting domestic hot water (DHW), spaceheating, and cooling loads more efficiently. ...
Heat Pump Water Heater Control Strategy Optimization for Cold Climates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a study which was conducted to evaluate the performance of a commercially available heat pump water heater (HPWH) with modified controls. The HPWH is first characterized experimentally under a series ...
Experimental Analysis of a Small Scale Flowing Electrolyte–Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Stack
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A smallscale fivecell flowing electrolyte–direct methanol fuel cell (FEDMFC) stack with Utype manifold configuration and parallel serpentine flow bed design was studied experimentally. The active area of a single cell ...
Nonisothermal Hydrodynamic Modeling of the Flowing Electrolyte Channel in a Flowing Electrolyte–Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The performance of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) can be significantly reduced by methanol crossover. One method to reduce methanol crossover is to utilize a flowing electrolyte channel. This is known as a flowing ...
Modeling of an Indirect Solar Assisted Heat Pump System for a High Performance Residential House
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The combination of solar thermal and heat pump systems as a single solar assisted heat pump (SAHP) system can significantly reduce residential energy consumption in Canada. As a part of Team Ontario's efforts to develop a ...
In Situ Experimental Validation of therm Finite Element Analysis for a High R Value Wall Using Vacuum Insulation Panels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper details the method used for a theoretical evaluation of Team Ontario's, U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2013 entrant, high Rvalue wall using vacuum insulation panels (VIPs). The purpose is to determine ...
