Task
Some industrial processes require alternating cycles of cooling and heating. Due to the fluctuating power generation from renewable energy sources, it may be worthwhile to generate cooling or heating at times that are offset from actual demand. This student thesis will investigate options for cold storage beyond the conventional liquid/water ice storage systems. To this end, the relevant processes will be analyzed. In addition, initial economic assessments of these approaches will be conducted.
Qualifications
Basic knowledge of refrigeration technology and thermodynamics
Notes
The main division of refrigeration and heat pump technology at ILK Dresden focuses on cold vapor processes. To this end, individual components (compressors, heat exchangers, valves) are measured and further developed. In addition, processes and system configurations are also investigated. The results are intended to help cooperating industrial companies improve their products. These projects can be supported as part of student work. The topics presented below only provide a rough outline of the tasks. Depending on the type of student work (internship, coursework, thesis, etc.), the assignment will be individually tailored and adapted.
