Thermal Energy Utilization Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab studying cooling technology that uses adsorption to make effective use of waste heat.
AboutAbout the lab
Researching cooling technology that runs on waste heat
The Thermal Energy Utilization Science Lab (known on its website as Saha Laboratory) aims to solve environmental and energy problems in the fields of air conditioning, refrigeration, and thermal energy storage.
The lab has developed a number of adsorption refrigeration cycles that can use even low-temperature waste heat of around 50°C.
Its research covers the properties of promising adsorbent and adsorbate pairs, the thermophysical properties of next-generation refrigerants, and carbon-neutral energy conversion systems.
The lab belongs to the Thermal Science and Engineering Division of the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER) and conducts joint research with universities around the world.
Key terms
- Adsorption refrigeration
- A cooling method that uses the process of an adsorbent taking up vapor. It can run on low-temperature waste heat.
- Waste heat
- Heat that is discarded without being used. This lab also uses low-temperature heat of around 50°C.
- Thermophysical properties
- Properties of a substance related to heat, such as how easily it conducts heat.
