Introduction
To reduce our carbon footprint and secure our energy future, it is important to combine the use of renewable energy with nature-based working materials. This presentation covers the use of heat-driven cooling systems which can run off excess clean renewable energy or waste heat. The result is a highly flexible and reliable system which uses water as the refrigerant, offering a completely natural and safe alternative to the current electricity-driven and environmentally-harmful cooling solutions. Consequently, this brings in the extra benefit of decoupling the refrigeration system from the electricity grid, thus increasing the penetration of renewable energy and fostering the integration of energy from different sources. Proper design of such systems will be touched on aiming at reducing the volume and cost of the refrigeration systems.
About the speaker
After completing his PhD at The University of Queensland, Kamel has worked there until 2022 when he moved to TU Delft. Working on heat transformation, technology development, and demonstration, his research mainly aims at increasing the share of renewable energy in the world. He uses a combination of theoretical, numerical, and experimental techniques to conduct his research.
