6. Durability of District Heating Pipes
Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on mechanical loads and moisture related problems with a potential to critically harm the functionality of pre-insulated district heating pipes and pipe joints. Directly buried pipeline bends are investigated with respect to limiting deformations from a thermally induced lateral displacement. LÄS MER
7. Polygeneration District Heating and Cooling Systems Based on Renewable Resources
Sammanfattning : Traditional district heating (DH) and district heating and cooling (DHC) systems have to address two principal challenges: phase-out of fossil fuels in favor of renewables; and profit instability related to declines in heating and cooling demands along with electricity price fluctuations. These obstacles can be overcome at once through upgrading these systems to a polygeneration concept by means of a retrofitted air-steam gasifier and gas upgrading equipment, enabling the use of renewable feedstocks such as refuse derived fuel (RDF) and municipal solid waste (MSW).

8. Combined Electricity Production and Thermally Driven Cooling from Municipal Solid Waste
Sammanfattning : Increasingly intensive efforts are being made to enhance energy systems via augmented introduction of renewable energy along with improved energy efficiency. Resource constraints and sustained high fossil fuel prices have created a new phenomenon in the world market. LÄS MER
9. Utilization of a GSHP System in a DHC Network : modeling and optimization
Sammanfattning : The ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) of customers connected to the district heating and cooling (DHC) network can benefit both the customer and the energy company. However, operating the GSHP to minimize the cost of providing heating and cooling to the customer while ensuring the long-term stability of the ground temperature is a challenge. LÄS MER
10. Development of a non-destructive testing method for thermal assessment of a district heating network
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the development of a non-destructive testing (NDT)method for thermal assessment of pre-insulated district heating (DH) pipes with high accuracy, in which the development process from literature review to its present stage is presented and discussed. Pre-insulated DH pipes have been in use for more than 40 years. LÄS MER
