The overall aim of the SmartGreens project is to design, develop and field trial of an innovative indoor farm for crop production. This proposed sustainable modular farm, SmartGreens uses photovoltaic (PV) insulating glazing combined with smart technologies to reduce the expensive carbon miles caused by mass food importation and therefore minimise the UK'...

Guangdong is a region with high solar irradiance, making it an ideal location to benefit from solar-based systems to provide domestic hot water (DHW). Despite this, much of the region still relies on fossil fuels, primarily natural gas, to provide its DHW; this not only contributes to pollution in cities, but also causes energy access issues in rural area...

The overall aims of the project is to investigate the technical and commercial feasibility of a novel technology that would enable Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) powered by low carbon energy sources to become economically viable for a wide range of space heating applications. It creates a new commercial opportunity for UK industry addressing fuel povert...

The proposed project is concerned with the development and manufacturing of a revolutionary photovoltaic vacuum glazing (PV-VG) for building applications. The PV-VG design features lower heat loss and lighter weight compared with double or triple glazing, and eliminates the need for inert gases such Argon used in conventional windows. The proposed PV-VG t...

The aim of the project is to develop a mechanical heat pump utilizing the Ericsson thermodynamic cycle. This rotary Ericsson system was designed from the outset to match as closely as possible the ideal Carnot cycle. The system can be used both as an engine and cooler ( and air conditioners and refrigerators), depending on the thermodynamic cycle directio...

The aim of the project is to develop an innovative and highly efficient, micro-CHP using steam ejector/water turbine/Pelton wheel system. The technology can be used for heat and power provision in industrial and commercial applications. The low cost system would reduce carbon reduction by the utilisation of renewable energy sources, waste heat or hybrid s...

From the farm to the store, food and drink including eggs and poultry products must be chilled -- and kept chilled, packaged and handled properly so it will be safe for consumers to buy. In addition, in the UK, there is a legal requirement, that the internal temperature of a warehouse for food and drink storage or processing must be kept at 8°C or below a...

The project aims to design/optimise and construct a small scale (5kW electricity power/3kW cooling) prototype waste heat-driven Combined Moist Airflow System (MAS) - Trigeneration - Ejector system, suitable for sustainable heating/cooling and electricity generation at reduced cost for the food and drink manufacturing and (re) processing plants. Through th...

The overall aim of the project is to develop and test an efficient and environmentally-friendly, precision engineering solution for cooling/heating to improve indoor air quality and thermal comfort to promote better animal welfare and productivity in poultry houses. The system will use a novel membrane -based dew point evaporative technology using water a...

The project main aim is to provide a sustainable solution to the inherent problems of space heating applications /methods with, providing supply-demand balance of energy, reducing the carbon emissions, high running costs and its reliance on conventional fossil fuel energy resources. A sustainable and energy efficient heating system is proposed with develo...

This proposed project is aimed at developing an effective energy storage system to establish an equilibrium between variable renewable energy supply and consumer energy demand, therefore acting as a grid buffer. The proposed project will involve the design, optimisation, construction and testing of the first-of-its-kind prototype power generation/energy s...

his project aims to develop, optimize, and manufacture novel polymer micro-hollow fibre heat exchangers (PHFHE) for various applications . This light weight PHFHE can reduce the weight up to 50% compared with traditional metal heat exchanger, leading to at least 50% cost reduction. The small diameters of the fibres (micrometers) have thin walls and large ...
