The Cooling and Heating Group (CHG) focuses on research activities related to the development and demonstration of highly performing and eco-friendly cooling and heating technologies. These activities also include their smart control system, optimal maintenance schedule, fault detection and diagnosis, energy optimizing control, among others. At present CHG is establishing a laboratory involving a transcritical CO2 vapour-compression cooling and heating unit equipped with sophisticated add-ons (e.g. thermal energy storage, two-phase ejector). The laboratory will also give the opportunity to work on the implementation of their control systems and advanced algorithms.
