Development of energy generation systems based on electrically-driven natural refrigerant heat pumps coupled with photovoltaic to provide heating, cooling and electricity to multi-family buildings. Its objective is to provide 80% of on-site renewable energy, reducing the installation cost by 10-15%.
This project develops:
- Anti-freeze coatings that prevent the freezing of fluids.
- Heat exchangers that increase the performance of the heat pumps with different heat and refrigerant sources.
- Heat pumps with natural refrigerants – CO2 and propane- and improved cycle architectures.
- Advanced control systems for energy management based on predictive control models.
- Affordable and flexible tri-generation systems, capable of covering heating, refrigeration and electricity demands with a large contribution from renewable energy.
TRI-HP provides the technical solutions in order to cope with the varying market demands, regulations and social barriers of the different countries.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme, under Grant Agreement No. 814888.
