Publication - Simulated Performance of a Solar Assisted Heat Pump Using Ice Slurry as a Latent Storage Material
CETC Number 2011-008 / 2011-09-16 Abstract A new solar assisted heat pump incorporating latent heat storage is proposed. Solar collectors are operated in series with a non-agitated ice storage tank, while a heat pump is used to transfer thermal energy from the ice tank to a warm water storage tank serving heating and domestic hot water demands. System performance is investigated in a high performance home in Montreal using the TRNSYS energy simulation program. Results show a ...

Publication - Ice Slurry Applications and Technical Challenges
CETC Number 2011-087 / 2011-06-01 This presentation has been made at the 79 th ACFAS Annual Congress, on May 11 th , 2011. Abstract Ice slurries are fluids that contain ice crystals of less than 1 mm diameter. Pure water renders ice slurry with a constant temperature of 0°C, no matter its ice fraction. Addition of alcohol, glycol or salt in the water makes it possible to obtain ice slurry at temperatures lower than 0°C. The temperature of ice slurry will then depend on the substance ...

Publication - Ejectors
CETC Number 2009-185 / 2009-11-02 Abstract Ejectors are driven by waste heat or heat from renewable sources, and directly activated by a thermal source to produce heating, cooling or refrigeration. The potential impacts of ejectors are huge as they may be utilized in a variety of applications. They can be directly integrated in a heat pump-cooling-refrigeration system as an internal component to increase the system efficiency. They can also be used in hybrid systems (cascade, ...
