A proof-of-concept study of a novel ventilation heat recovery vapour injection air source heat pump (2022)
Journal Article
Fan, Y., Li, J., Zhao, X., Myers, S., Cheng, Y., Yu, M., Golizadeh Akhlaghi, Y., Ma, X., & Yu, S. (2022). A proof-of-concept study of a novel ventilation heat recovery vapour injection air source heat pump. Energy Conversion and Management, 256, Article 115404. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2022.115404

Conventional air source heat pumps suffer from frosting in winter and consume a large amount of electricity for defrosting. Meanwhile, ventilation heat recovery is an important approach to energy saving in buildings. This paper conducts a proof-of-co...

Combined Rankine Cycle and dew point cooler for energy efficient power generation of the power plants - A review and perspective study (2021)
Journal Article
Ma, X., Zhao, X., Zhang, Y., Liu, K., Yang, H., Li, J., Akhlaghi, Y. G., Liu, H., Han, Z., & Liu, Z. (2022). Combined Rankine Cycle and dew point cooler for energy efficient power generation of the power plants - A review and perspective study. Energy, 238, Article 121688. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2021.121688

The Rankine Cycle is a thermodynamic process widely applied to power plants such as coal-fired power plants or nuclear reactors. The thermal efficiency of a power plant is largely dependent upon the temperature difference between a heat source and a...
