Journal ArticleDOI
Data-driven Fault Detection and Diagnosis for HVAC water chillers
Alessandro Beghi,Riccardo Brignoli,Luca Cecchinato,G. Menegazzo,Mirco Rampazzo,Francesco Simmini +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-supervised data-driven approach is employed for fault detection and isolation that makes no use of a priori knowledge about abnormal phenomena for HVAC installations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon dioxide as refrigerant for tap water heat pumps: A comparison with the traditional solution
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between a system working with CO2 and a similar one working with HFC R134a is made by means of a simulation model of a refrigerating machine/heat pump, characterized by a detailed representation of the heat exchangers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-stage transcritical carbon dioxide cycle optimisation: A theoretical and experimental analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential of improving the cycle efficiency through two-stage compression with intermediate cooling, at operating conditions typical of air conditioning, both experimentally and theoretically, and proposed a theoretical analysis performed with this code for optimisation and energy performance evaluation of such a cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamic analysis of different two-stage transcritical carbon dioxide cycles
Luca Cecchinato,Manuel Chiarello,Marco Corradi,Ezio Fornasieri,Silvia Minetto,Paolo Stringari,Claudio Zilio +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic evaluation and optimisation of different two-stage transcritical carbon dioxide cycles is presented. But the authors focus on the effect of internal heat transfer between different streams of refrigerants.
Journal ArticleDOI
A PSO-based algorithm for optimal multiple chiller systems operation
TL;DR: In this article, an unified method for efficient management of multiple chiller systems, by means of a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based algorithm, is presented, which can achieve substantial energy savings while granting good load profile tracking with respect to standard approaches.
