Project news and materials

Keep updated with the latest news about the project. We will keep you posted with upcoming events, ongoing activities, and the latest findings from the project.

Demo-Case: Supermarket refrigeration systems

The developments will be applied to at least four CO₂ supermarket refrigeration systems with heat recovery.

Demo-Case: Cascade heat pump for district heating

This case focuses on a cascade heat pump for the supply of district heating. The heat pump is owned and operated by AffaldVarme Aarhus, and it is located in the Machine Room at Aarhus Ø, Denmark.

The concept of digital twins for heat pump and refrigeration systems

Digital twins are a virtual representation of a physical system in the form of numerical models, which are constantly adapting to the current operating conditions.

Digital twin-based services

Digital Twins constitute the basis for a variety of services such as advanced system monitoring, optimization of system operation as well as fault detection and diagnosis.

Project partners

The project consortium consists of eight partners, involving industrial partners, an RTO institute, and three departments from two universities.

Modelling activities

The modelling activities in the project comprise numerical models with different levels of detail. The models are based on a combination of measurement data, component data, and physical relations.
