WP1 includes all the coordination and management activities that will be carried out by I-ThERM during the project.
EINSTEIN is a flexible tool for the assessment of the techno-economic potential for heat recovery from specific industrial processes, factories and industrial sites that has been developed mainly in the Framework of two European projects (EINSTEIN and EINSTEIN-II).
The key objective in WP5 is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a small 50 kW electrical sCO2 Cycle that has superior performance in terms of efficiency and modularity to ORC and other waste heat conversion systems for medium temperature waste heat sources.
This WP is dedicated to the development of a heat pipe based condensing economizer (HPCE) that will maximize the waste heat recovery by reclaiming the latent heat from the water vapor in flue gases through cooling them to a temperature below the dew point of their water vapor.
Main objective of this WP is the development of coatings for improving the properties of heat pipes developed in WP6, overcoming corrosion and stability problems and reducing the cost of maintenance.
Examine technology and business requirements and approaches to heat recovery.
The principle objective of this Work Package is to design and develop an industrial sized prototype for application of the unit to a suitable waste stream in Tata Steel.
This WP is dedicated to the development of Flat Heat pipe System, FHPS, to facilitate the waste heat recovery from hot streams/surfaces of temperatures above 500°C. The recovered heat will be utilized in the processing plant to reduce the energy bill of the manufacturing plant.
Overall, the optimal control system design approach will be based on a two-step procedure.
The main objective of this work package is the installation and commissioning of the technologies at the demonstration sites, monitoring and evaluation of the performance of the technologies over a period of 10 months, and reporting of the outputs for dissemination and exploitation.
One of the important objectives of this project is to disseminate the technologies developed during the previous work packages as widely as possible. All project results will be formulated and compiled into a protectable form and all necessary patents and copyrights will be filed.
