Energy Efficiency is by many regarded to be the number one option to mitigate climate change. This course will provide you with a valuable toolbox to address this important topic and actually be able to do something about it. On a more detailed level, the course will discuss heat exchanger networks, integration of distillation columns, heat pumps and refrigeration cycles, all based on the so-called Pinch Concept, which by many industrial leaders has been regarded as the most important single result coming out of university research the last 50 years. Other topics in the course are combined heat and power, work and heat integration, and a small part is left to suggest Exergy as a KPI for energy efficiency.
The topic is relevant for both industrial and research partners in HighEFF, and the course is also open for researchers and PhD students outside of HighEFF. The course will be given in English. Please help us to spread the word within your own organization - it's a great opportunity to build knowledge on an interesting and important topic. The course, including lunch and coffee breaks is free!
