Cel The proposed research aims to develop a novel solar façade water heating system involving several technical initiatives, i.e. unique loop heat pipe structure, integrated façade and heat pipe configuration, and heat pump assisted low temperature heat pipe operation. These initiatives will have potential overcoming the difficulties associated with existing solar water heating systems, i.e. unpleasant architectural view due to use of the roof space, hazard of piping freezing due to indoor-to-outdoor water transporting, separate layout of the heat absorbing pipes and façade, and low solar efficiency. This will generate a façade integrated, highly efficient and aesthetically appealing solar water heating system. Specific objectives of the project are:1. Designing a conceptual module of the proposed solar façade water heating system2. Developing a computer model to optimise the configuration of the system and predict its thermal performance.3. Constructing and testing a prototype solar façade system in laboratory.4. Carrying out economic, environmental and regional acceptance analyses.The programme will integrate Dr Wei He, the selected incoming fellow from China, into Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development at De Montfort University. The process will result in knowledge transfer from the incoming researcher to European host which will further extend to whole Europe, in terms of advanced solar system design, computer modelling, experiment and economic and environmental analyses. It will benefit to Europe host in terms of new technology development, enhanced research capacity, and strengthen international/industrial cooperation.Results of the research will contribute to establish European excellence and competitiveness in solar heating technology, and thus help achieve EU’s goals to promotes use of renewable energy, reduce fossil fuel consumption and cut carbon emission. Deployment of the technology will help enhance EU’s economy and industrial competit Dziedzina nauki engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energyengineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineering Program(-y) FP7-PEOPLE - Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Temat(-y) FP7-PEOPLE-2010-IIF - Marie Curie Action: "International Incoming Fellowships" Zaproszenie do składania wniosków FP7-PEOPLE-2010-IIF Zobacz inne projekty w ramach tego zaproszenia System finansowania MC-IIF - International Incoming Fellowships (IIF) Koordynator UNIVERSITY OF HULL Wkład UE € 210 092,80 Adres COTTINGHAM ROAD HU6 7RX Hull Zjednoczone Królestwo Zobacz na mapie Region Yorkshire and the Humber East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire Kingston upon Hull, City of Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Kontakt administracyjny Xudong Zhao (Prof.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych Uczestnicy (1) Sortuj alfabetycznie Sortuj według wkładu UE Rozwiń wszystko Zwiń wszystko DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY Zakończenie uczestnictwa Zjednoczone Królestwo Wkład UE Brak danych Adres THE GATEWAY LE1 9BH Leicester Zobacz na mapie Region East Midlands (England) Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire Leicester Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Kontakt administracyjny Philip Summers (Mr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych
