Performance improvement potential of a PV/T integrated dual-source heat pump unit with a pressure booster ejector (2022)
Journal Article
Tahir Erdinc, M., Kutlu, C., Unal, S., Aydin, O., Su, Y., & Riffat, S. (2023). Performance improvement potential of a PV/T integrated dual-source heat pump unit with a pressure booster ejector. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, 37, Article 101534. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsep.2022.101534

Dual-source heat pump unit can utilize the evaporation of the refrigerant at two different pressures. By adopting an ejector, high-pressure refrigerant stream can be used to lift compressor inlet pressure which results in a higher coefficient of perf...

Journal Article
Kutlu, C., Tapia-Brito, E., Agbonaye, O., Su, Y., Smith, S., Hughes, B., & Riffat, S. (2022). Incorporation of controllable supercooled phase change material heat storage with a solar assisted heat pump: Testing of crystallization triggering and heating demand-based modelling study. Journal of Energy Storage, 55(Part D), Article 105744. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2022.105744

In short to long-term heat storage, the heat loss of common phase change material (PCM) systems is a big problem where heat is lost continuously to the ambient environment and is thus wasted, even when the system is not in use. Controllable supercool...

Investigation on a Vermiculite-Based Solar Thermochemical Heat Storage System for Building Applications (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Chen, Z., Kutlu, C., Su, Y., & Riffat, S. (2022). Investigation on a Vermiculite-Based Solar Thermochemical Heat Storage System for Building Applications. Future Cities and Environment, 8(1), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.5334/fce.153

Industrial processes and the building sector (e.g., for space and water heating) are responsible for the majority of the total energy consumed for heat. Although fossil fuels remain to dominate the heating sector, renewable heating technologies have...
