A novel solar heat harvesting technology enabling the full-spectrum capture and enhanced building performance Mar 31, 2022 - Mar 30, 2024
This staff exchange scheme aims to carry out the fundamental research on the solar full spectrum direct absorption collector by the joint effort of the researchers at the University of Hull（UK）and Harbin Institute of Technology (China). The researc... Read More about A novel solar heat harvesting technology enabling the full-spectrum capture and enhanced building performance.

A Super Performance Dew Point Cooler for Data Centres Jul 1, 2019 - Mar 31, 2022
The proposed project aims to transform a lab-validated, super-performance, and award-winning dew point air cooling technology into a specialist Data Centre air conditioning unit. This will involve a number of key activities: (1) Survey to the selecte... Read More about A Super Performance Dew Point Cooler for Data Centres.

A Novel Loop-Heat-Pipe (LHP)-based Data Centre Heat Removal and Recovery System Employing the Micro-channels Cold/Hot Plates Sep 9, 2019 - Sep 8, 2021
Date centres consume 1.1-1.5% of the world’s total electricity supply and remain 15-20% of annual increase rate in power demand. Space cooling, owing to vast dissipation of the heat from the data-processing equipment to data centre space, has a very...
