Design and analysis of a district heating and cooling system that uses waste heat and dumped snow in Akita City, Japan

open access: yesEnergy Conversion and Management: X
This study aimed to design and evaluate a district heating and cooling (DHC) system for Akita City, Japan, that utilizes waste heat from a municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration plant as its heat source and stored snow as its cooling source.

Impact of Sustainable Binders Based on Lignin and Collagen on the Volume Stability and Mechanical Properties of MgO‐C Refractories with MgO‐C Recyclates

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Collagen hydrolysate is evaluated as a sustainable binder for MgO‐C refractories. Its thermally induced cross‐linking and gas release lead to expansion and cracking in large bricks, but tailored batches with lignin, recyclates, or fine graphite improve the gas release while thermal treatment and stability.

A Prospect of District Heating and Cooling System

open access: yesJournal of the Fuel Society of Japan, 1980
Since 1965, district heating and cooling systems have been installed at many places in Japan.The Heat Service Law was enforced in 1972 and the systems are installed at 30 places in 1980. The systems, which form a part of urban and residential policies, are installed to utilize heat energy efficiently, to prevent air pollution and to keep the safety and

District heating and cooling: a 28-city assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Findings of a project that assessed the potential for construction of district heating and cooling (DHC) systems in 28 US cities are presented. The project sought to determine whether DHC could promote local community and economic development. In the preliminary assessment, 17 of the cities identified up to 23 projects that could be built within three ...

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Deoxidation of Natively Oxide Layer of Copper Powders in a Fluidized Bed

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a novel approach to reducing oxide layers on metal powders using low‐temperature hydrogen dielectric barrier discharge plasmas at atmospheric pressure. Unlike conventional hydrogen‐plasma reductions, the powders do not contact the plasma directly.

A multi-connected air conditioner with refrigerant and water using hot water from district heating system for direct heating

open access: yesZhileng xuebao
In many public buildings in northern China, direct expansion air conditioning systems are used for cooling, and the hot water from district heating networks is often used for heating, which requires two types of terminals.

Development of Sustainable MgO–C Refractories Using MgO–C Recyclates and a Novel Eco‐Friendly Fructose–Tannin Binder Crosslinked With Citric Acid

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion

Optimal Integration of District Heating, District Cooling, Heat Sources and Heat Sinks

open access: yes, 2019
Large-scale HPs and refrigeration plants are essential technologies for decarbonising the heating and cooling sector, while using power generated from renewable energy sources. Thereby, intermittent power can be used to supply district heating (DH) and district cooling (DC) efficiently in combination with thermal storages.
