      Mota-Babiloni, Adrián; Navarro-Esbrí, Joaquín; Moles, Fran; Barragán Cervera, Angel; Peris, Bernardo; Verdú, Gumersindo Elsevier (2016-02-25)
      Climate change is demonstrated through global surface temperatures increase in the last century. To stop this phenomenon, new regulations that ban or tax greenhouse gas fluids (HFC among them) have been approved. In the ...
    • closedAccess   Application of a lumped model for predicting energy performance of a variable-speed vapour compression system 

      Navarro-Esbrí, Joaquín; Ginestar, D.; Belman, Juan; Milián, V.; Verdú, Gumersindo Elsevier (2010)
      This work presents a model for a variable-speed vapour compression system that is able to predict accurately the system performance using data easily obtained from an industrial facility. The model uses information on the ...
    • closedAccess   Commercial refrigeration – An overview of current status 

      Mota-Babiloni, Adrián; Navarro-Esbrí, Joaquín; Barragán Cervera, Angel; Moles, Fran; Peris, Bernardo; Verdú, Gumersindo Elsevier (2015)
      Commercial refrigeration comprises food freezing and conservation in retail stores and supermarkets, so, it is one of the most relevant energy consumption sectors, and its relevance is increasing. This paper reviews the ...
    • openAccess   Effect of mean void fraction correlations on a shell-and-tube evaporator dynamic model performance 

      Navarro-Esbrí, Joaquín; Milián, Víctor; Mota-Babiloni, Adrián; Molés, Francisco; Verdú, Gumersindo Taylor and Francis (2015-08-22)
      In this article, the influence of different mean void fraction correlations on a shell-and-tube evaporator dynamic model performance has been evaluated. The model proposed is based on the moving-boundary approach and ...
    • closedAccess   Experimental evaluation of R448A as R404A lower-GWP alternative in refrigeration systems 

      Mota-Babiloni, Adrián; Navarro-Esbrí, Joaquín; Peris, Bernardo; Moles, Fran; Verdú, Gumersindo Elsevier (2015-11)
      Due to the adoption of EU Regulation No 517/2014, R404A is going to be banned in Europe in most of refrigeration applications, in which is typically used, due to its very high GWP value, 3943. In this paper an experimental ...
    • openAccess   On the One-Dimensional Modeling of Vertical Upward Bubbly Flow 

      Peña Monferrer, Carlos; Gómez Zarzuela, C.; chiva, sergio; Miró, R.; Verdú, Gumersindo; Muñoz-Cobo, Jose-Luis Hindawi Publishing Corporation (2018)
      The one-dimensional two-fluid model approach has been traditionally used in thermal-hydraulics codes for the analysis of transients and accidents in water–cooled nuclear power plants. This paper investigates the performance ...
