SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
Horizontal Research Activities
Involving SMEs
Collective Research Projects
Proposal/Contract no.: 500229-2



Project proposer and coordinator:

Groupement pour la recherche sur les Echangeurs Thermiques (Greth)

Project proposer:

European Heat Pump Association (EHPA)


Work Package 1

Components

WP leader: University of Padova
Partners: CEA, NTU, UPV, Spirec, Heliotherm, Hibernatus, Onda, Eveco, Sodra, Greth
Duration: 18 months
Summary: The objective of this WP is to develop and to select the critical components compressor and heat exchangers using hydrocarbons, CO2 or ammonia as refrigerants. This development will be carried out in close collaboration with the SMEs manufacturing compressors and heat exchangers. For hydrocarbons the volume as to be minimised for safety and regulations aspects, and for CO2, the level of pressure is much higher (up to 150 bars) that for conventional refrigerants. Based on these considerations, several types of innovative heat exchangers will be studied: micro-channel heat exchangers, compact brazed plate heat exchangers, semi-welded or totally welded plate heat exchangers, spiral heat exchangers, plate-fin heat exchangers, enhanced and low-finned tubes.
