Demonstrating a novel configuration of FPSE prototype working at medium temperature range (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ghozzi, S., & Boukhanouf, R. Demonstrating a novel configuration of FPSE prototype working at medium temperature range. Presented at The 17th International Stirling Engine Conference and Exhibition

Numerous FPSE designs have been demonstrated, tested and maybe commercially produced for different applications since Beale had invented the first design of the FPSE. The proposed design of FPSE is intended to operate at atmosphere pressure and low h... Read More about Demonstrating a novel configuration of FPSE prototype working at medium temperature range.

Method to investigate and plan the application of low temperature district heating to existing hydraulic radiator systems in existing buildings (2016)
Journal Article
Tunzi, M., Østergaard, D. S., Svendsen, S., Boukhanouf, R., & Cooper, E. (2016). Method to investigate and plan the application of low temperature district heating to existing hydraulic radiator systems in existing buildings. Energy, 113, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2016.07.033

This study presents a method to adapt existing hydronic systems in buildings to take advantage of low temperature district heating (LTDH). Plate radiators connected to double string heating circuits were considered in an optimization procedure, based...
