In most geothermal heat pumps installations, the vertical ground heat exchangers (BHE) represent the most important cost item and a careful analysis is needed to assure a long time performance together with the economical sustainability of the project. The most efficient way to predict the temperature evolution in time and space of a ground...

This research has been devoted to the selection of the most favourable plant solutions for ventilation, heating and cooling, thermo-hygrometric control of a greenhouse, in the framework of the energy saving and the environmental protection. The identified plant solutions include shading of glazing surfaces, natural ventilation by means of...

In this paper, in order to establish the influence of the operating conditions and of the header geometry on the phase/mass distribution into parallel vertical channels, a number of flow distribution fittings have been tested with respect to a test section characterized by a horizontal header and 16 vertical upward vertical channels. The fluids...

In the present study phase distributions in parallel upward channels fed by a cylindrical horizontal header is experimentally investigated. A new fitting solution to be inserted in the header are been developed based on previous experiments by the Authors. The fitting geometry belongs to the family of the protruding pipes but the protruding...
