Austrian examples for industrial heat pumps: heat sinks

Industrial heat pumps are most often used to heat buildings (33 examples) or to provide district heating (19 examples). Heat supply for processes occurs in 13 examples.

Austrian examples for industrial heat pumps: time of commissioning

Numerous industrial heat pumps were put into operation after 2012. This clearly shows that the spread of industrial heat pumps in Austria is increasing and that more information about these systems is also being published.

Experimental setup for investigating the frosting performance of heat exchangers at low ambient temperatures

Measurement sequence: in the initial phase the thermal mass of the heat exchanger is accommodated to the tempering conditions (A to B1), and then the main frost growth takes place (B1 to B2). Afterwards, the rapid change of the heat exchanger thermal state (at air flow rate curve steepest gradient) takes place (B2), and frost creation continues until the heat exchanger is fully blocked and the temperatures do not change any more (C).

IEA SHC Task 66: Solar Energy Buildings – Presentation of final results

IEA SHC Task 66 “Solar Energy Buildings” presented the final results of their activities at the EuroSun Conference 2024 in Limassol, Cyprus, on Tuesday, 27 August, from 11:00 to 12:30 EEST. Over three years, an international team of scientists and industry representatives collaborated on the topic “Solar Energy Buildings.” The event featured presentations by the task manager, subtask leaders, and an industry representative. Dr. Harald Drück, Manager of Task 66 from the University of Stuttgart’s IGTE, provided an overview of the project and highlighted key achievements. Subtask leaders shared summaries of their findings: Prof. Frank Späte (OTH-AW, Germany) discussed key performance indicators for assessing solar energy buildings, while Elsabet Nielsen (Technical University of Denmark) showcased demonstration projects of completed solar energy buildings. Michael Gumhalter (AEE INTEC, Austria) explored current and future technologies in the field. Additionally, Zanil Narsing from Naked Energy Ltd. (UK) presented on "Solar Energy Buildings with Advanced Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) Collectors." More details on Task 66 are available on their website: https://task66.iea-shc.org/.

Fact sheets for Solar Energy Building technologies

Fact sheets for technologies in the field of solar energy buildings were developed as part of IEA SHC Task 66 Subtask D to provide concise, easily accessible summaries of key solar technologies, helping stakeholders make informed decisions. They include information on advancements, comparisons, and suitability for different climates, building types, and regional requirements. Categorized into areas such as generation, storage, buildings, and grids, the fact sheets highlight integration strategies for effective solar energy systems. By referencing scientific publications and showcasing practical examples, they demonstrate the functionality and characteristics of selected technologies.

Thermal Membran Technologies show Optimization Potential at membranes

Membranes are central components in thermal membrane technologies. IEA SHC Task 62 identified that further research and development is necessary to increase the membrane efficiecy for example by membrane modification, increase in selectivity.
