HighEFFLab will provide the advanced research facilities required to fulfil the goals of FME HighEFF: to enable a 20–30% reduction in specific energy use and a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Norwegian industry.
The infrastructure will be used to develop and test advanced components, such as novel heat exchangers for heat capture, energy transfer and heat recovery, as well as cycles and applications to maximize energy-efficient processing – for example, high-temperature heat pump technology or surplus-heat-to-power processes.
HighEFFLab installations:
- The Heat Exchanger Laboratory
- The Expander Test Laboratory
- The Natural Refrigerant Laboratory
- The Dewatering Laboratory
- The Gas and Material Characterization Laboratory
Financed by the Research Council of Norway through the National Financing Initiative for Research Infrastructure.
